08fdffd4cf [ARM] Ensure head text is always placed at the start of kernel
Commit 86c0baf123 highlighted that we
may end up with the head text placed elsewhere in the kernel image.
Introduce a new .text.head section to contain the initial kernel
startup code, and always place this section at the beginning of the
kernel image.

0f9008ef38 Fix up SLUB compile
The newly merged SLUB allocator patches had been generated before the
removal of "struct subsystem", and ended up applying fine, but wouldn't
build based on the current tree as a result.

Fix up that merge error - not that SLUB is likely really ready for
showtime yet, but at least I can fix the trivial stuff.

ee17b36fd0 v850: generic timekeeping conversion
Convert an arch that does not currently implement sub-jiffy timekeeping to
use the generic timekeeping code.

v850 looks like it has some intent to implement sub-jiffy timekeeping, so
it may not yet be appropriate to try to convert, but I figured I'd get the
maintainer's input and submit the patch for comment.

CONFIG_UML_REAL_TIME_CLOCK is disabled, gettimeofday must progress in
lockstep with the clock, making it fully virtual.

16dd07bc64 uml: more page fault path trimming
More trimming of the page fault path.

Permissions are passed around in a single int rather than one bit per
int.  The permission values are copied from libc so that they can be
passed to mmap and mprotect without any further conversion.

The register sets used by do_syscall_stub and copy_context_skas0 are
initialized once, at boot time, rather than once per call.

wait_stub_done checks whether it is getting the signals it expects by
comparing the wait status to a mask containing bits for the signals of
interest rather than comparing individually to the signal numbers.  It
also has one check for a wait failure instead of two.  The caller is
expected to do the initial continue of the stub.  This gets rid of an
argument and some logic.  The fname argument is gone, as that can be
had from a stack trace.

user_signal() is collapsed into userspace() as it is basically one or
two lines of code afterwards.

The physical memory remapping stuff is gone, as it is unused.

flush_tlb_page is inlined.

64f60841c0 uml: speed page fault path
Give the page fault code a specialized path.  There is only one page to look
at, so there's no point in going into the general page table walking code.
There's only going to be one host operation, so there are no opportunities for
merging.  So, we go straight to the pte we want, figure out what needs doing,
and do it.

While I was in here, I fixed the wart where the address passed to unmap was a
void *, but an unsigned long to map and protect.

This gives me just under 10% on a kernel build.

77f6af778d uml: don't try to handle signals on initial process stack
Code running on the initial UML stack can't receive or process signals since
current must be valid when IRQs are handled, and there is no current for this
stack.

So, instead of using UML_LONGJMP and UML_SETJMP, which are careful to save and
restore signal state, and, as a side-effect, handle any deferred signals,
start_idle_thread must use the bare equivalents, which don't do anything with
signals.

2adcec2197 uml: send pointers instead of structures to I/O thread
Instead of writing entire structures between UML and the I/O thread, we send
pointers.  This cuts down on the amount of data being copied and possibly
allows more requests to be pending between the two.

This requires that the requests be kmalloced and freed instead of living on
the stack.

a0044bdf60 uml: batch I/O requests
Send as many I/O requests to the I/O thread as possible, even though it will
still only handle one at a time.  This provides an opportunity to reduce
latency by starting one request before the previous one has been finished in
the driver.

Request handling is somewhat modernized by requesting sg pieces of a request
and handling them separately, finishing off the entire request after all the
pieces are done.

When a request queue stalls, normally because its pipe to the I/O thread is
full, it is put on the restart list.  This list is processed by starting up
the queues on it whenever there is some indication that progress might be
possible again.  Currently, this happens in the driver interrupt routine.
Some requests have been finished, so there is likely to be room in the pipe
again.

This almost doubles throughput when copying data between devices, but made no
noticable difference on anything else I tried.

a61f334fd2 uml: convert libc layer to call read and write
This patch converts calls in the os layer to os_{read,write}_file to calls
directly to libc read() and write() where it is clear that the I/O buffer is
in the kernel.

We can do that here instead of calling os_{read,write}_file_k since we are in
libc code and can call libc directly.

With the change in the calls, error handling needs to be changed to refer to
errno directly rather than the return value of the call.

CATCH_EINTR wrappers were also added where needed.

ef0470c053 uml: tidy libc code
This patch lays some groundwork for the next one, which converts calls to
os_{read,write}_file into {read,write}, by doing some tidying in the affected
areas.

do_not_aio gets restructured to make the final result a bit cleaner.

There are also whitespace and other formatting fixes, fixes in error messages,
and a typo fix.

3d564047a5 uml: start fixing os_read_file and os_write_file
This patch starts the removal of a very old, very broken piece of code.  This
stems from the problem of passing a userspace buffer into read() or write() on
the host.  If that buffer had not yet been faulted in, read and write will
return -EFAULT.

To avoid this problem, the solution was to fault the buffer in before the
system call by touching the pages that hold the buffer by doing a copy-user of
a byte to each page.  This is obviously bogus, but it does usually work, in tt
mode, since the kernel and process are in the same address space and userspace
addresses can be accessed directly in the kernel.

In skas mode, where the kernel and process are in separate address spaces, it
is completely bogus because the userspace address, which is invalid in the
kernel, is passed into the system call instead of the corresponding physical
address, which would be valid.  Here, it appears that this code, on every host
read() or write(), tries to fault in a random process page.  This doesn't seem
to cause any correctness problems, but there is a performance impact.  This
patch, and the ones following, result in a 10-15% performance gain on a kernel
build.

This code can't be immediately tossed out because when it is, you can't log
in.  Apparently, there is some code in the console driver which depends on
this somehow.

However, we can start removing it by switching the code which does I/O using
kernel addresses to using plain read() and write().  This patch introduces
os_read_file_k and os_write_file_k for use with kernel buffers and converts
all call locations which use obvious kernel buffers to use them.  These
include I/O using buffers which are local variables which are on the stack or
kmalloc-ed.  Later patches will handle the less obvious cases, followed by a
mass conversion back to the original interface.
