User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults.  This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.

One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at).  This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock.  This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated.  The UP and SMP code are now
identical.

The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

The Debian experimental linux source package (3.8.5-1) build fails
with the following errors:
...
MODPOST 2016 modules
ERROR: "__ucmpdi2" [fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "__ucmpdi2" [drivers/md/dm-verity.ko] undefined!

The attached patch resolves this problem.  It is based on the s390
implementation of ucmpdi2.c.

Pull second round of PARISC updates from Helge Deller:
 "The most important fix in this branch is the switch of io_setup,
  io_getevents and io_submit syscalls to use the available compat
  syscalls when running 32bit userspace on 64bit kernel.  Other than
  that it's mostly removal of compile warnings."

* 'fixes-for-3.9-latest' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
  parisc: fix redefinition of SET_PERSONALITY
  parisc: do not install modules when installing kernel
  parisc: fix compile warnings triggered by atomic_sub(sizeof(),v)
  parisc: check return value of down_interruptible() in hp_sdc_rtc.c
  parisc: avoid unitialized variable warning in pa_memcpy()
  parisc: remove unused variable 'compat_val'

commit e72837e3e7bae3f182c4ac63c9424e86f1158dd0 introduced
a default SET_PERSONALITY() in include/linux/elf.h.
This breaks with our own SET_PERSONALITY define for
32bit userspace on 64bit kernel.
