Olof reports that noMMU builds error out with:
arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: In function 'setup_return':
arch/arm/kernel/signal.c:413:25: error: 'mm_context_t' has no member named 'sigpage'
This shows one of the evilnesses of IS_ENABLED(). Get rid of it here
and replace it with #ifdef's - and as no noMMU platform can make use
of sigpage, depend on CONIFG_MMU not CONFIG_ARM_MPU.

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in
the vectors page. This allows us to place them randomly within this
page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace
further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks. The new
VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page.

The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible
hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes
problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55
Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses
the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating
the horrible hack VMAs into one.

This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for
the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers
to use the regsets framework.
As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps
at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no
VFP state.
Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated
by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation;
these should be migratable without much extra work.

The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page
contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in
user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem
in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding.
For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack
frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To
unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would
have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame
layout -- which it currently cannot do.
We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into
GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are
guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb
process make an exception for this page and get content from its own
address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either.
Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by
user space code.

Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to
be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL
and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24
(+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to
(MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.
The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.
The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils
(required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed
with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations
are emitted for function epilogues.
This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40"
error message.
The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel
module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the
binutils bfd library.
