David S. Miller 52eb053b71 [SPARC64]: Fix linkage of enormous kernels.
This was found by make randconfig

If the kernel .text is very large, the .fixup section branches
are too far away to be relocated correctly.

Use "sethi %hi(label), reg; jmpl reg + %lo(label); %g0" sequence
instead of the branch to fix this.

There is another case in switch_to() involving a branch, which
is fixed similarly.

David S. Miller bc45e32e0f [SPARC]: Kill off these __put_user_ret things.
They are bogus and haven't been referenced in years.

David S. Miller 4d000d5b96 [SPARC64]: Mark __ex_table section correctly.
We must use the "a" (allocate) attribute every time we
emit an entry into the __ex_table section.

For consistency, use "a" instead of #alloc which is some
Solaris compat cruft GNU as provides on Sparc.

David S. Miller efdc1e2083 [SPARC64]: Simplify user fault fixup handling.
Instead of doing byte-at-a-time user accesses to figure
out where the fault occurred, read the saved fault_address
from the current thread structure.

For the sake of defensive programming, if the fault_address
does not fall into the user buffer range, simply assume the
whole area faulted.  This will cause the fixup for
copy_from_user() to clear the entire kernel side buffer.

David S. Miller 5fd29752f0 [SPARC64]: Fix fault handling in unaligned trap handler.
We were not calling kernel_mna_trap_fault() correctly.
Instead of being fancy, just return 0 vs. -EFAULT from
the assembler stubs, and handle that return value as
appropriate.

Create an "__retl_efault" stub for assembler exception
table entries and use it where possible.

David S. Miller 8cf14af0a7 [SPARC64]: Convert to use generic exception table support.
The funny "range" exception table entries we had were only
used by the compat layer socketcall assembly, and it wasn't
even needed there.

For free we now get proper exception table sorting and fast
binary searching.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
