gcc 4.7.x is emitting calls to __ffsdi2 where previously
it used to inline the appropriate ctz instructions.
While this needs to be fixed in gcc, it's also easy to avoid
having it cause build failures when building with those
compilers by exporting __ffsdi2 to modules.

Pull tile update from Chris Metcalf:
 "The interesting bug fix is support for the upcoming "4.2" release of
  the Tilera hypervisor, which by default launches Linux at privilege
  level 2 instead of 1.  The fix lets new and old hypervisors and
  Linuxes interoperate more smoothly, so I've tagged it for
  stable@kernel.org so that older Linuxes will be able to boot under the
  newer hypervisor."

* 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  usb: tilegx: fix memleak when create hcd fail
  arch/tile: remove inline marking of EXPORT_SYMBOL functions

<title>Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS</title>

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.

To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.

Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.

While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

This was shown up by running with "allmodconfig".  I used
EXPORT_SYMBOL() to match existing conventions in files that
were already exporting symbols, or that were exported that way
by other architectures, and otherwise EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

<title>arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size</title>

<id>d5d14ed6f2db7287a5088e1350cf422bf72140b3</id>
<content type='text'>
This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context()
API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor.  Clients
can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they
install a new context.  In practice, the page size is fixed at
kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every
time a new page table is installed.

The &lt;hv/hypervisor.h&gt; header changes so that it provides more abstract
macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables.  For
example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old
HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL.  The various PFN routines have been eliminated and
only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed
in fixed 2KB "page" size).  The page-table management macros are
renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with
the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single
place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves.

I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken
(it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work
correctly with other page sizes.

Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with
a conflicting page size.  (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.)

Use direct load/store for the get_user/put_user.

Previously, we would call out to a helper routine that would do the
appropriate thing and then return, handling the possible exception
internally.  Now we inline the load or store, along with a "we succeeded"
indication in a register; if the load or store faults, we write a
"we failed" indication into the same register and then return to the
following instruction.  This is more efficient and gives us more compact
code, as well as being more in line with what other architectures do.

The special futex assembly source file for TILE-Gx also disappears in
this change; we just use the same inlining idiom there as well, putting
the appropriate atomic operations directly into futex_atomic_op_inuser()
(and thus into the FUTEX_WAIT function).

The underlying atomic copy_from_user, copy_to_user functions were
renamed using the (cryptic) x86 convention as copy_from_user_ll and
copy_to_user_ll.

There were some correctness issues with this code that are now fixed
with this change.  The change is likely less performant than it could
be, but it should no longer be vulnerable to any races with memory
operations on the memory network while invalidating a range of memory.
This code is run infrequently so performance isn't critical, but
correctness definitely is.
