Otherwise it might interrupt switch_to() midstream and use

<title>sparc64: Kill bogus TPC/address truncation during 32-bit faults.</title>

This builds upon eeabac7386ca13bfe1a58afeb04326a9e1a3a20e
("sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.")

Upon further consideration, we actually should never see any
fault addresses for 32-bit tasks with the upper 32-bits set.

If it does every happen, by definition it's a bug.  Whatever
context created that fault would only have that fault satisfied
if we used the full 64-bit address.  If we truncate it, we'll
always fault the wrong address and we'll always loop faulting
forever.

So catch such conditions and mark them as errors always.  Log
the error and fail the fault.

In order to handle all of the cases of address calculation overflow
properly, we run sparc 32-bit processes in "address masking" mode
when running on a 64-bit kernel.

Address masking mode zeros out the top 32-bits of the address
calculated for every load and store instruction.

However, when we're in privileged mode we have to run with that
address masking mode disabled even when accessing userspace from
the kernel.

To "simulate" the address masking mode we clear the top-bits by
hand for 32-bit processes in the fault handler.

It is the responsibility of code in the compat layer to properly
zero extend addresses used to access userspace.  If this isn't
followed properly we can get into a fault loop.

Say that the user address is 0xf0000000 but for whatever reason
the kernel code sign extends this to 64-bit, and then the kernel
tries to access the result.

In such a case we'll fault on address 0xfffffffff0000000 but the fault
handler will process that fault as if it were to address 0xf0000000.
We'll loop faulting forever because the fault never gets satisfied.

So add a check specifically for this case, when the kernel is faulting
on a user address access and the addresses don't match up.

This code path is sufficiently slow path, and this bug is sufficiently
painful to diagnose, that this kind of bug check is warranted.

Two symbols are shared with sparc64 thus the exports were removed from

    Quite a few 64-bit architectures are using `long' for their
    s64/u64 types.  We should convert them all to `long long'.

Update types.h so we use unsigned long long for u64 and
fix all warnings in sparc64 code.
Tested with an allnoconfig, defconfig and allmodconfig builds.

This patch introduces additional warnings in several drivers.
These will be dealt with in separate patches.

The sparc allmodconfig build broke due to enabling of the
branch_tracer that does some very clever things with
all if conditions. This caused my gcc 3.4.5 to be so confused that
it emitted a warning:

arch/sparc/mm/fault_32.c: In function `do_sparc_fault':
arch/sparc/mm/fault_32.c:176: warning: 'fixup' might be used uninitialized in this function

And with -Werror this broke the build.

Refactor code so it:
1) becomes more readable
2) no longer emit a warning with the branch_tracer enabled

While doing this use standard names for start/end
so we could use definitions straight from asm-generic
for all the typical symbols.

This also allowed us to drop the use of PROVIDE in the linker
script so sprc is less non-standard on this area.
