The high bits of current->personality carry settings that we don't want to
clobber on each exec.  Only clobber them if the lower bits that indicate
either PER_LINUX or PER_LINUX32 are invalid.

The clobbering prevents us from using useful bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.

Based somewhat on the PPC implementation.

32-bit processes have the heap randomized in an 8MB space, 256MB for
64-bit processes.

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.

kernel/elfcore.c includes <linux/elf.h> which includes the <asm/elf.h>.  In
<asm/elf.h>, struct pt_regs is declared inside the parameter list of the
elf_dump_regs function which causes a kernel build warning.

Fixed by adding a forward declaration of struct pt_regs.

The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries
optimized for the current CPU archecture variant.  First we need to allow it
to be set to something other than NULL.  Follow-on patches will set some
values for specific CPUs.

GLIBC already does the right thing.  The kernel just needs to supply good
data.

Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define
USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP.  The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so
let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

If an o32 process generates a core dump on a 64 bit kernel, the core file
will not be correctly recognized. This is because ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS are not correctly defined for o32 and will use
the default register set which would be CONFIG_64BIT in asm/elf.h.

So we'll switch to use the right register defines in this situation by
checking for WANT_COMPAT_REG_H and use the right defines of
ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS.

[Ralf: made ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS() bullet-proof against funny arguments.]
