This patch modifies the i386 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is
selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below
1G.  The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and
modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable.  For the main
kernel relocations are generated.  Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable
with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code.

A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned
to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running.

Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
so that ld will generate relocations.  Allowing a relocatable
kernel to relocate them.  We can't actually use the symbol names
because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
from their object files.

Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
define it otherwise linker will fail.

Defining __PHYSICAL_START and __KERNEL_START in asm-i386/page.h works but
it triggers a full kernel rebuild for the silliest of reasons.  This
modifies the users to directly use CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and linux/config.h
which prevents the full rebuild problem, which makes the code much
more maintainer and hopefully user friendly.

Currently when we are reserving the memory the kernel text
resides in we start at __PHYSICAL_START which happens to be
correct but not very obvious.  In addition when we start relocating
the kernel __PHYSICAL_START is the wrong value, as it is an
absolute symbol that does not get relocated.

By starting the reservation at __pa_symbol(_text)
the code is clearer and will be correct when relocated.

Ld knows about 2 kinds of symbols,  absolute and section
relative.  Section relative symbols symbols change value
when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not.

Currently in the linker script we have several labels
marking the beginning and ending of sections that
are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols.
Having a mixture of absolute and section relative
symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless
but it is confusing.

This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place
symbols that appear in sections without data and instead
ld makes those symbols global :(

My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel.  The
safest and least intrusive technique is to generate
relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load
time.  The only penalty would be an increase in the size
of the kernel binary.  The problem is that if absolute and
relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols
will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which
is fatal.

The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that
will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused
a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code
the physical memory location they will run at, especially
for the distributions.

[AK: and merged:]

o Also put a message so that in future people can be aware of it and
  avoid introducing absolute symbols.

Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level
in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one.

Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers
because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute
exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle().

So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes
code.

In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer
now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem
ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways.

sys_vm86 uses a struct kernel_vm86_regs, which is identical to pt_regs, but
adds an extra space for all the segment registers.  Previously this structure
was completely independent, so changes in pt_regs had to be reflected in
kernel_vm86_regs.  This changes just embeds pt_regs in kernel_vm86_regs, and
makes the appropriate changes to vm86.c to deal with the new naming.

Also, since %gs is dealt with differently in the kernel, this change adjusts
vm86.c to reflect this.

While making these changes, I also cleaned up some frankly bizarre code which
was added when auditing was added to sys_vm86.

This patch is the meat of the PDA change.  This patch makes several related
changes:

1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel.  This means that on
   entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
   __KERNEL_PDA.

2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
   is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
   state can be accessed.

   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
   is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).

3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
   register state in a signal context.

4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
   code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it.  The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.

This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init().  Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs.  This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.

In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

This patch has the basic definitions of struct i386_pda, and the segment
selector in the GDT.

asm-i386/pda.h is more or less a direct copy of asm-x86_64/pda.h.  The most
interesting difference is the use of _proxy_pda, which is used to give gcc a
model for the actual memory operations on the real pda structure.  No actual
reference is ever made to _proxy_pda, so it is never defined.

i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature.  Chuck reports that this gives him a +/-
0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark

x86_64 description follows:

Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily.  This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore
all the time).  However for very frequent FPU users...  you take an extra trap
every context switch.

The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.  If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap
is avoided.  (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5
having done so are quite high obviously).

After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there
are 5 consecutive ones again).  The reason for this is to give apps that do
longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

- Introduced PER_CPU() macro to be used from asm
- Introduced GET_DESC_BASE() macro to be used from asm
- Rewrote the fixup code in asm, as calling a C code with the altered %ss
  appeared to be unsafe
- No longer altering the stack from a .fixup section
- 16bit per-cpu stack is no longer used, instead the stack segment base
  is patched the way so that the high word of the kernel and user %esp

- Added the limit-patching for the espfix segment. (Chuck Ebbert)

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since
iBCS stopped being supported.  This means it is now possible to actually
set an empty LDT segment.

In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been
replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both
setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register.
If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL
descriptor.
