alloc_bootmem and related function always return zeroed region of
memory. Thus a memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for making the change:

@@
expression E,E1;
@@

E = \(alloc_bootmem\|alloc_bootmem_low\|alloc_bootmem_pages\|alloc_bootmem_low_pages\)(...)
... when != E
- memset(E,0,E1);

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
 "There are two patches in here:

  The first patch greatly improves latency and corrects the memory
  ordering in our light-weight atomic locking syscall.

  The second patch ratelimits printing of userspace segfaults in the
  same way as it's done on other platforms.  This fixes a possible DOS
  on parisc since it prevents the syslog to grow too fast.  For example,
  when the debian acl2 package was built on our debian buildd servers,
  this package produced lots of gigabytes in syslog in very short time
  and thus filled our harddisks, which then turned the server nearly
  completely unaccessible and unresponsive"

* 'parisc-3.15-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux:
  parisc: Improve LWS-CAS performance
  parisc: ratelimit userspace segfault printing

Ratelimit printing of userspace segfaults and make it runtime
configurable via the /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace variable. This
should resolve syslog from growing way too fast and thus prevents
possible system service attacks.

Commit 4b59e6c47309 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in
non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to
suppress PFN walks on large memory machines.  Commit c78e93630d15 ("mm:
do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in
the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for
SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case.

This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations
that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity.  ARM and unicore32
still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a
much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of
use.  As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small
amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

When building a 64bit kernel sometimes functions in the .init section were not
able to reach the standard kernel function. Main reason for this problem is,
that the linkage tables (.plt, .opd, .dlt) tend to become pretty huge and thus
the distance gets too big for short calls.

One option to avoid this is to use the -mlong-calls compiler option, but this
increases the binary size and introduces a performance penalty.

Instead, with this patch we just lay out the binary differently.  Init code is
stored first, followed by text, R/O and finally R/W data. This means, that init
and text code is now much closer to each other, which is sufficient to reach
each other by short calls.

Provide a macro ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_ENTRY() to create exception table
entries and convert all open-coded places to use that macro.

This patch is a first step toward creating a exception table which only
holds 32bit pointers even on a 64bit kernel. That way in my own kernel
I was able to reduce the in-kernel exception table from 44kB to 22kB.

The attached change defers the initialization of the variables tsk, mm
and flags until they are needed. As a result, the code won't crash if a
kernel probe is done with a corrupt context and the code will be better
optimized.
