Mike Frysinger 04e4f2b18c FDPIC: Respect PT_GNU_STACK exec protection markings when creating NOMMU stack
The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but
then only use the markings in the MMU code path.  The NOMMU code path
always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call.  While this doesn't matter
to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless
icache flush when starting every FDPIC application.  Typically this
icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may
be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU.

In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired
(EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine
whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not.

For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without
the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an
important difference.

It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of
the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack.  However,
this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the
brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().

Robin Getz 96f1050d3d Blackfin: mass clean up of copyright/licensing info
Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.

It also removes:
 - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
 - file names (you are looking at the file)
 - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
 - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right

It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

Arnd Bergmann 5b17e1cd89 asm-generic: rename page.h and uaccess.h
The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.
