We can map the vDSO straight from kernel data, saving a few page
allocations. As an added bonus, the deleted code contained a memory
leak.

The machinery for __ARCH_HAS_CLOCKSOURCE_DATA assumed a file in
asm-generic would be the default for architectures without their own
file in asm/, but that is not how it works.
Replace it with a Kconfig option instead.

The vread field was bloating struct clocksource everywhere except

There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains
a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who
knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of
some other code.
Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real
vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the
middle.
This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.
The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc
through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times
per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the
development tree.
This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet
functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might
involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

Jumping to 0x00 might do something depending on the following
bytes. Jumping to 0xcc is a trap. So fill the unused parts of
the vsyscall page with 0xcc to make it useless for exploits to
jump there.

It's unnecessary overhead in code that's supposed to be highly
optimized. Removing it allows us to remove one of the two
syscall instructions in the vsyscall page.
The only sensible use for it is for UML users, and it doesn't
fully address inconsistent vsyscall results on UML. The real
fix for UML is to stop using vsyscalls entirely.

Move vvars out of the vsyscall page into their own page and mark
it NX.
Without this patch, an attacker who can force a daemon to call
some fixed address could wait until the time contains, say,
0xCD80, and then execute the current time.

There was an ordering issue with regards to instruction_pointer() being
used in profile_pc() prior to the asm-generic/ptrace.h include, which
subsequently provided the instruction_pointer() definition. In the
interest of simplicity we simply open-code the regs->pc deref for the
profile_pc() definition instead.
The FP functions were also broken due to a lack of a common regs->fp,
so provide a common GET_FP() that is safe for both architectures in order
to fix up the frame pointer helpers too.

Quite a few functions that get called from the tlb gather code require that
preemption must be disabled. So disable preemption inside of the called
functions instead.
The only drawback is that rcu_table_freelist_finish() doesn't get necessarily
called on the cpu(s) that filled the free lists. So we may see a delay, until
we finally see an rcu callback. However over time this shouldn't matter.
So we get rid of lots of "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible"
messages.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.
But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().
Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.
After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be used.

We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on
every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had
marginal electricals 15-years ago. If those machines are still running
the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll". The only difference
will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt().

We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules.
Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to.
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit
uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old. It calls into
the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines
to fail.
Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting
pm_idle. Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS
at run-time will simply use HLT instead.

In the long run, we don't want default_idle() or (pm_idle)() to
be exported outside of process.c. Start by not exporting them
to modules, unless the APM build demands it.

The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved
Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.
This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

The documentation is a little iffy as to whether these are actual MMRs,
but reading them on the hardware works, and the previous version of this
logic (the SDH) had PID[4567]. So add it for RSI too.

Looks like the copying of MMR defines from the SDH block missed updating
the addresses of the RSI_PID# registers. So tweak them to reflect the
actual hardware.

The bf52x/bf54x have the incorrect addresses for USB_EP_NI7_RXINTERVAL
and USB_EP_NI7_TXCOUNT, so adjust those.
Further, the bf54x header puts the USB defines in the wrong place, so
shuffle them back to the right grouping.
