When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
the stack.  It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
returns before a tend.  In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
transactional memory state.  If we write over this non transactionally or in
suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter
and stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be
valid anymore.

To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
state.  This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
written below the stack required for the rollback.  The transaction is aborted
becuase of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
signal will be rolled back anyway.

For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.

Tested with 64 and 32 bit signals

If we are emulating an instruction inside an active user transaction that
touches memory, the kernel can't emulate it as it operates in transactional
suspend context.  We need to abort these transactions and send them back to
userspace for the hardware to rollback.

We can service these if the user transaction is in suspend mode, since the
kernel will operate in the same suspend context.

This adds a check to all alignment faults and to specific instruction
emulations (only string instructions for now).  If the user process is in an
active (non-suspended) transaction, we abort the transaction go back to
userspace allowing the HW to roll back the transaction and tell the user of the
failure.  This also adds new tm abort cause codes to report the reason of the
persistent error to the user.

This adds new debug feature information so that the DAWR can be
identified by userspace tools like GDB.

Unfortunately the DAWR doesn't sit nicely into the current description
that ptrace provides to userspace via struct ppc_debug_info.  It doesn't
allow for specifying that only some ranges are possible or even the end
alignment constraints (DAWR only allows 512 byte wide ranges which can't
cross a 512 byte boundary).

After talking to Edjunior Machado (GDB ppc developer), it was decided
this was the best approach.  Just mark it as debug feature DAWR and
tools like GDB can internally decide the constraints.

PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO, PPC_PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG and PPC_PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG are
PowerPC specific ptrace flags that use the watchpoint register. While they are
targeted primarily towards BookE users, user-space applications such as GDB
have started using them for BookS too. This patch enables the use of generic
hardware breakpoint interfaces for these new flags.

Apart from the usual benefits of using generic hw-breakpoint interfaces, these
changes allow debuggers (such as GDB) to use a common set of ptrace flags for
their watchpoint needs and allow more precise breakpoint specification (length
of the variable can be specified).
