This patchset makes UML build and run with three-level page tables on
32-bit hosts. This is an uncommon use case, but the code here needed
fixing and cleaning up, so 32-bit three-level pages tables were tested
to make sure the changes are good.
Patch 1 - code movement
Patch 2 - header untangling
Patch 3 - style fixups in files affected so far
Patch 4 - clean up use of current.h
Patch 5 - fix sizes of types that are different between 2 and 3-level
page tables - three-level page table support should build at
this point
Patch 6 - tidy (i.e. eliminate much of) the code that figures out how
big the address space is
Patch 7 - change um_virt_to_phys into virt_to_pte, clean its
interface, and clean its (so far) one caller
Patch 8 - the stub pages are covered with a VMA, allowing some nasty
code to be thrown out - three-level page tables now work
This patch:
um_virt_to_phys only has one user, so it can be moved to the same file
and made static. Its declarations in pgtable.h and ksyms.c are also
gone.
current_cmd was another apparent user, but it itself isn't used, so it
is deleted.

This patch changes a few functions into returning void. The return values
were not used anyway, so I think it should not be a problem. Also removed a

This patch removes a variable which was not used in two functions. Yet
another code cleanup, nothing really significant.
Please note that I could not test this on x86_64. I don't have the
hardware for it.

The previous const-ing patch consted a string which shouldn't have
been, and I didn't notice the gcc warning.
ubd_setup can't take a const char * because its address is assigned to
something which expects a char *arg. Many setups modify the string
they are given, they can't be const.

Tidy kern_util.h. It turns out that most of the function declarations
aren't used, so they can go away. os.h no longer includes
kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it
directly. A number of other files never needed it, so these includes
are deleted.
The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel
side to the userspace side is gone. Instead, the handlers are
declared here, and used directly from libc code. This allows
arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved
to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c.
arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some
style attention, so it got tidied.

Suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven - use const.h to get constants that are usable
in both C and assembly. I can't include it directly since this code can't
include kernel headers. const.h is also for numeric constants that can be
typed by tacking a "UL" or similar on the end. The constants here have to be
typed by casting them.
So, the relevant parts of const.h are copied here and modified in order to
allow the constants to be uncasted in assembly and casted in C.

bugs.c, for both i386 and x86_64, can undergo further cleaning -
The i386 arch_check_bugs only does one thing, so we might as
well inline the cmov checking.
The i386 includes can be trimmed down a bit.
arch_init_thread wasn't used, so it is deleted.
The panics in arch_handle_signal are turned into printks
because the process is about to get segfaulted anyway, so something is
dying no matter what happens here. Also, the return value was always
the same, so it contained no information, so it can be void instead.
The name is changed to arch_examine_signal because it doesn't handle
anything.
The caller of arch_handle_signal, relay_signal, does things in
a different order. The kernel-mode signal check is now first, which
puts everything else together, making things a bit clearer conceptually.

- Always include the architecture dependent Kconfig files.
- Wrap architecture dependent Kconfig files inside an appropriate

The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation done
by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one parameter,
and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register pm_qos
expectations of processes.
This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
one of the parameters.
Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as
the initial set of pm_qos parameters.
The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters
being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
abuse.
For each parameter a list of performance requirements is maintained along with
an aggregated target value. The aggregated target value is updated with
changes to the requirement list or elements of the list. Typically the
aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the requirement values
held in the parameter list elements.
>From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:
pm_qos_add_requirement(param_id, name, target_value):
Will insert a named element in the list for that identified PM_QOS
parameter with the target value. Upon change to this list the new target is
recomputed and any registered notifiers are called only if the target value
is now different.
pm_qos_update_requirement(param_id, name, new_target_value):
Will search the list identified by the param_id for the named list element
and then update its target value, calling the notification tree if the
aggregated target is changed. with that name is already registered.
pm_qos_remove_requirement(param_id, name):
Will search the identified list for the named element and remove it, after
removal it will update the aggregate target and call the notification tree
if the target was changed as a result of removing the named requirement.
>From user mode:
Only processes can register a pm_qos requirement. To provide for
automatic cleanup for process the interface requires the process to register
its parameter requirements in the following way:
To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the
process must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency,
network_throughput]
As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
requirement on the parameter. The name of the requirement is
"process_<PID>" derived from the current->pid from within the open system
call.
To change the requested target value the process needs to write a s32
value to the open device node. This translates to a
pm_qos_update_requirement call.
To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
node.
