perf_counter uses arch_vma_name() to detect a vdso region which in turn uses
current->mm->context.vdso_base. We need to initialise this before doing
the mmap or else we fail to detect the vdso.

If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can
put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be
in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a
performance penalty.

This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G
pages.

On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of
256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into
the L1 cache), we see the improvement:

Force malloc to use heap all the time:
# export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1

Disable heap randomization:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
12.51s

Enable heap randomization:
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
1.70s

Sometimes this is used to hold a simple offset, and sometimes
it is used to hold a pointer.  This patch changes it to a union containing
void * and dma_addr_t.  get/set accessors are also provided, because it was

The former is no longer really accurate with the swiotlb case now
a possibility.  I also move it into dma-mapping.h - it no longer
needs to be in dma.c, and there are about to be some more accessors
that should all end up in the same place.  A comment is added to
indicate that this function is not used in configs where there is no
simple dma offset, such as the iommu case.

When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position
independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation
code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs
such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll
generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly
and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today).

The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible
that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody
implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.

Rename the locking free hvc_resize() function to __hvc_resize() and
provide an inline function that locks the hvc_struct and calls
__hvc_resize().

The rationale for this patch is that virtio_console calls the hvc_resize()
function without locking the hvc_struct. So it needs to call the lock
itself.

According to naming rules, the unlocked version is renamed and
prefixed with "__".
References to unlocked function calls in hvc back-ends has been updated.

This reverts commit c02e3f36 ("kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code")

The patch is wrong.  UMH_WAIT_EXEC is called with VFORK what ensures
that the child finishes prior returing back to the parent.  No race.

In fact, the patch makes it even worse because it does the thing it
claims not do:

 - It calls ->complete() on UMH_WAIT_EXEC

 - the complete() callback may de-allocated subinfo as seen in the
   following call chain:

    [<c009f904>] (__link_path_walk+0x20/0xeb4) from [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94)
    [<c00a094c>] (path_walk+0x48/0x94) from [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c)
    [<c00a0a34>] (do_path_lookup+0x24/0x4c) from [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c)
    [<c00a158c>] (do_filp_open+0xa4/0x83c) from [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0)
    [<c009ba90>] (open_exec+0x24/0xe0) from [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4)
    [<c009bfa8>] (do_execve+0x7c/0x2e4) from [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80)
    [<c0026a80>] (kernel_execve+0x34/0x80) from [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148)
    [<c004b514>] (____call_usermodehelper+0x130/0x148) from [<c0024858>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)

   and the path pointer was NULL.  Good that ARM's kernel_execve()
   doesn't check the pointer for NULL or else I wouldn't notice it.

The only race there might be is with UMH_NO_WAIT but it is too late for
me to investigate it now.  UMH_WAIT_PROC could probably also use VFORK
and we could save one exec.  So the only race I see is with UMH_NO_WAIT
and recent scheduler changes where the child does not always run first
might have trigger here something but as I said, it is late....
