__und_usr_thumb function deals with thumb2 opcodes. In case of BE
image, it needs to byteswap half word thumb2 encoded instructions
before further processing them.
Without this fix BE image user-land thread executing first VFP
instruction encoded in thumb2 fails with SIGILL, because kernel
does not recognize instruction and does not enable VFP.

Since commit 6a1c53124a the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to

There are more and more applications coming to Windows RT,
Wine could support them, but mostly they expect to have
the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.
This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). To avoid this we must always read

commit 91d1aa43 (context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem)
generalized parts of the RCU userspace extended quiescent state into
the context tracking subsystem. Context tracking is then used
to implement adaptive tickless (a.k.a extended nohz)
To support the new context tracking subsystem on ARM, the user/kernel
boundary transtions need to be instrumented.
For exceptions and IRQs in usermode, the existing usr_entry macro is
used to instrument the user->kernel transition. For the return to
usermode path, the ret_to_user* path is instrumented. Using the
usr_entry macro, this covers interrupts in userspace, data abort and
prefetch abort exceptions in userspace as well as undefined exceptions
in userspace (which is where FP emulation and VFP are handled.)
For syscalls, the slow return path is covered by instrumenting the
ret_to_user path. In addition, the syscall entry point is
instrumented which covers the user->kernel transition for both fast
and slow syscalls, and an additional instrumentation point is added
for the fast syscall return path (ret_fast_syscall).

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling. This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.
The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is
not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.
This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of
Thumb2 though.
Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

As we no longer re-enable interrupts in these exception handlers, add

Note that these calls are conditional on IRQSOFF_TRACER:
kernel ----------> user ---------> kernel
^ irqs enabled ^ irqs disabled
No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the
kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not
take any locks etc. So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask
state while userspace is running unless we're doing IRQ off latency
tracing. So, we can (and do) avoid the overhead of updating the IRQ
mask state on every kernel->user and user->kernel transition.
