ftrace faulted on writing [<ffffffffa00026db>]
__process_new_adapter+0x7/0x34 [i2c_core]

The cause was that the module text was set to read only before ftrace
could convert the calls to mcount to nops. Thus, the conversions failed
due to not being able to write to the text locations.

The simple fix is to move setting the module to read only after the
module notifiers are called (where ftrace sets the module mcounts to nops).

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom
of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of
the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI
"return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting
the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs
for r0.

However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks,
since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly
handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat
address space.  Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional
random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register.

Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register"
hack in sigreturn.  We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly
code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code.  We extend that
code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions
after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0.
Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the
pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
new task as started by clone() in libc.  However, this is not
quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
the new task before it had its TLS set up.  (Of course, this race
window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
in the new task, in principle.  But in any case, we are now doing
this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)

This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix.  It should
also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

Fix a regression where bttv driver causes oopses when loading, since it
were using some non-initialized mutexes. While it would be possible to
fix the issue, there are some other lock troubles, like to the presence of
lock code at free_btres_lock().

It is possible to fix, but the better is to just use the core-assisted
locking schema. This way, V4L2 core will serialize access to all
ioctl's/open/close/mmap/read/poll operations, avoiding to have two
processes accessing the hardware at the same time. Also, as there's just
one lock, instead of 3, there's no risk of dead locks.

The net result is a cleaner code, with just one lock.

This prevents allocation of the last 2MB before 4GB.

The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23542#c27

This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H. Peter Anvin
says "There will be ROM at the top of the 32-bit address space; it's a fact
of the architecture, and on at least older systems it was common to have a
shadow 1 MiB below."

When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't
allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map.

On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the
windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS.  On many Dell
machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g.,

    BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved)
    pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff]

If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because
that's really RAM, not I/O memory.  This patch prevents that by removing
the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource.

I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem
differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates
top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla
below).  That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not
trip over.  For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't
mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail.

This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can
avoid any arch-specific reserved areas.  This currently just avoids the
BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if
that turns out to be necessary.

We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource().  This patch
moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all*
resource allocations will avoid this area.

This adds arch_remove_reservations(), which an arch can implement if it
needs to protect part of the address space from allocation.

Sometimes that can be done by just putting a region in the resource tree,
but there are cases where that doesn't work well.  For example, x86 BIOS
E820 reservations are not related to devices, so they may overlap part of,
all of, or more than a device resource, so they may not end up at the
correct spot in the resource tree.
