In kexec jump support, jump back address passed to the kexeced
kernel via function calling ABI, that is, the function call
return address is the jump back entry.

Furthermore, jump back entry == 0 should be used to signal that
the jump back or preserve context is not enabled in the original
kernel.

But in the current implementation the stack position used for
function call return address is not cleared context
preservation is disabled. The patch fixes this bug.

Impact: save kernel .text by loosening kexec page alignment

This patch removes PAGE_SIZE alignment from relocate_kernel(). Before
kexec jump patches are merged, control page is mapped to
relocate_kernel in kexec page tables, so relocate_kernel must be
PAGE_SIZE aligned. Now, control page is mapped to identity mapped
address, so relocate_kernel need not to be PAGE_SIZE aligned any
more. This can reduce a few KB from kernel text segement.

Kexec/Kexec-jump require code size in control page is less than
PAGE_SIZE/2.  This patch add link-time checking for this.

ASSERT() of ld link script is used as the link-time checking mechanism.

This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump.  It implements the
following features:

- Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after
  kexec.

- Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec.

The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in
physical mode (paging turning off).  This can be used to call BIOS code under
Linux.

kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and
the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

       source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2
       binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10

Usage example of calling some physical mode code and return:

1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:

CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one.

3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode"

4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1.

5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command
   line can be as follow:

   /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode

6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line:

   /sbin/kexec -e

Implementation point:

To support jumping without reserving memory.  One shadow backup page (source
page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination
page).  When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source
pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are
swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped.  Before jumping
to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the
destination pages and the source pages are swapped too.

C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between
kernel and called code.

A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to
indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back.

Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386)

This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.

The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.
