x86: clean up arch/x86/kernel/tsc_sync.c a bit
x86: use symbolic name for VM86_SIGNAL when used as vm86 default return
x86: added 'ifndef _ASM_X86_IOMAP_H' to iomap.h
x86: avoid multiple declaration of kstack_depth_to_print
x86: vdso/vma.c declare vdso_enabled and arch_setup_additional_pages before they get used
x86: clean up declarations and variables
x86: apic/x2apic_cluster.c x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid should be static
x86 early quirks: eliminate unused function
In order to make arch_vma_name() work from inside
install_special_mapping() we need to set the context.vdso
before calling it.
( This is needed for performance counters to be able to track
this special executable area. )

According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:
If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
set or returned.
Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.
This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7). A simple reproducer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int main(void)
{
struct timezone tz;
gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);
return 0;
}
See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.
What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason
I can determine. Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol
includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which
is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page
of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes.
This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we
have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images. The extra padding is
gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two. The image that
was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we
recover that wasted space after boot.

We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid.
For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl
and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl.
When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use
the vDSO for anything, but we still map it. For the non-compat vDSO,
this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing
up the control of the address space the user was hoping for.
Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages.

Priit Laes discovered that the sed command processing nm output was
sensitive to locale settings. This was addressed in commit
03994f01e8 by using [:alnum:] in place of
[a-zA-Z0-9].
But that solution too is locale-dependent and may not always match
the identifiers it needs to. The better fix is just to run sed et al

Some assembler versions automagically optimize .eh_frame contents,
changing their size. The CFI in sysenter.S was not using optimal
formatting, so it would be changed by newer/smarter assemblers.
This ran afoul of the wired constant for padding out the other vDSO
images to match its size. This changes the original hand-coded
source to use the optimal format encoding for its operations. That
leaves nothing more for a fancy assembler to do, so the sizes will
match the wired-in expected size regardless of the assembler version.

This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal
trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them. The order does
not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry
says. Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both
versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get
the addresses to line up. This makes it work to use a more compact
layout for the vDSO.

This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel. That is, 1 means a randomized
vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address. The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
it has for the 32-bit kernel. (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
set this paramter at boot time. The vdso=[012] argument still does this
same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

I can't see the reason ". = VDSO_PRELINK + 0x900;" was ever there in
the linker script for the x86_64 vDSO. I can't find anything that
depends on this magic offset, or that should care at all about the
particular location of of the .data section (all from vvar.c) in the
vDSO image. If it is really desireable to place .data at 0x900, then it
should be after all the other sections so they fill in the space up to
0x900.
This removes the 0x900 magic and cleans up the output sections generally
in the vDSO linker script. This saves a few hundred bytes in the size
of the vDSO file, bringing it back well under 4kb total so that its vma
only needs one page.

This keeps an unstripped copy of the 64bit vDSO images built before they are
stripped and embedded in the kernel. The unstripped copies get installed
in $(MODLIB)/vdso/ by "make install" (or you can explicitly use the
subtarget "make vdso_install"). These files can be useful when they
contain source-level debugging information.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.
