David Daney 949e51bea3 MIPS: Make TASK_SIZE reflect proper size for both 32 and 64 bit processes.
The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space.  Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range.  But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.

The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.

For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.

__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.

With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

David Daney 7281cd2297 MIPS: Remove unused task_struct.trap_no field.
It is initialized to zero and only ever read.  Remove it, and pass zero in
its place.

David Daney 1091458d09 MIPS: Randomize mmap if randomize_va_space is set
Fairly straight forward: For 32-bit address spaces randomize within a
16MB space, for 64-bit within a 256MB space.

David Daney 0453fb3c52 MIPS: Use GCC __builtin_prefetch() to implement prefetch().
GCC's __builtin_prefetch() was introduced a long time ago, all
supported GCC versions have it.  Lets do what the big boys up in
linux/prefetch.h do, except we use '1' as the third parameter to
provoke 'PREF 0,...'  and 'PREF 1,...' instead of other prefetch
hints.

This allows for better code generation.  In theory the existing
embedded asm could be optimized, but the compiler has these builtins,
so there is really no point.

David Daney c52d0d30ae MIPS: Preliminary VDSO
This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes.  Still
missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information.  But it is enough to
allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack.  Note that emulation
of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.

We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
trampolines into it.  The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
mapped into this space.

David Daney 484889fc85 MIPS: Avoid clobbering struct pt_regs in kthreads
The resume() implementation octeon_switch.S examines the saved cp0_status
register.  We were clobbering the entire pt_regs structure in kernel
threads leading to random crashes.

When switching away from a kernel thread, the saved cp0_status is examined
and if bit 30 is set it is cleared and the CP2 state saved into the pt_regs
structure.  Since the kernel thread stack overlaid the pt_regs structure
this resulted in a corrupt stack.  When the kthread with the corrupt stack
was resumed, it could crash if it used any of the data in the stack that was
clobbered.

We fix it by moving the kernel thread stack down so it doesn't overlay
pt_regs.
