8b5ee113e1 sh: move sh clock.c contents to drivers/sh/clk.
This patch is V2 of the SH clock framework move from
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/clock.c to drivers/sh/clk.c. All
code except the following functions are moved:
clk_init(), clk_get() and clk_put().

The init function is still kept in clock.c since it
depends on the SH-specific machvec implementation.

The symbols clk_get() and clk_put() already exist in
the common ARM clkdev code, those symbols are left in
the SH tree to avoid duplicating them for SH-Mobile ARM.

4bc277ac9c sh: bootmem refactoring.
This reworks much of the bootmem setup and initialization code allowing
us to get rid of duplicate work between the NUMA and non-NUMA cases. The
end result is that we end up with a much more flexible interface for
supporting more complex topologies (fake NUMA, highmem, etc, etc.) which
is entirely LMB backed. This is an incremental step for more NUMA work as
well as gradually enabling migration off of bootmem entirely.

5e2ff328c0 sh: rework memory limits to work with LMB.
This reworks the memory limit handling to tie in through the available
LMB infrastructure. This requires a bit of reordering as we need to have
all of the LMB reservations taken care of prior to establishing the
limits.

While we're at it, the crash kernel reservation semantics are reworked
so that we allocate from the bottom up and reduce the risk of having
to disable the memory limit due to a clash with the crash kernel
reservation.

feef47d0cb hw-breakpoints: Get the number of available registers on boot dynamically
The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance
the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints
through the HBP_NUM macro.

However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get
this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between
different versions.

To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro
and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a
new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have
CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once
as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints
together.
For the others it will be called first to get the number of
instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the
data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a
parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

b2812d031d hw-breakpoints: Change/Enforce some breakpoints policies
The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:

- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses

The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.

The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.

We want the following new policies:

- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.

To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

  double function declaration]

This implements support for hardware-managed IRQ balancing as implemented
by SH-X3 cores (presently only hooked up for SH7786, but can probably be
carried over to other SH-X3 cores, too).

CPUs need to specify their distribution register along with the mask
definitions, as these follow the same format. Peripheral IRQs that don't
opt out of balancing will be automatically distributed at the whim of the
hardware block, while each CPU needs to verify whether it is handling the
IRQ or not, especially before clearing the mask.

While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/
user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's
no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code
size and confusion down.

Roland said:

  The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al
  might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we
  have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining
  would be beneficial.  But I agree that there is no strong reason to care
  about inlining it.

  As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the
  record.  It was always my thinking that for an arch where
  PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,
  user_enable_single_step() should not be provided.  That is,
  arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with
  "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.
  Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in
  multi-threaded situations.  Aside from that, it is a peculiar side
  effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW
  de-sharing of text pages and so forth.  For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these
  peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having
  arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing.  But for building other
  things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics
  that arch-independent code can expect.

  OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer.  As
  of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et
  al so it's a distinction without a practical difference.  If/when there
  are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,
  the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about
  the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

5cacdb4add Add generic sys_olduname()
Add generic implementations of the old and really old uname system calls.
Note that sh only implements sys_olduname but not sys_oldolduname, but I'm
not going to bother with another ifdef for that special case.

m32r implemented an old uname but never wired it up, so kill it, too.

baed7fc9b5 Add generic sys_ipc wrapper
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.

There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.

Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.
