Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache)
caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write
GOT entries. The problem is due to an interaction between the write
faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with
the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been
invalidated.
a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency. This patch
provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in
flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the
region is being made executable again.) This ensures that the I-cache
will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages.
Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use
the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly
synchronized.

flush_cache_mm() is called in two cases:
1. when a process exits, just before the page tables are torn down.
We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without
causing any harm.
2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID.
The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought
into the new process address space. Flushing the I-cache here is
therefore unnecessary.
However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that
any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been
reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

The I and D caches for copy-on-write pages on processors with
write-allocate caches become incoherent causing problems on application
relying on CoW for text pages (dynamic linker relocating symbols in a
text page). This patch flushes the D-cache for such pages.

Both call sites for __flush_dcache_page() end up calling
__flush_icache_all() themselves, so having __flush_dcache_page() do
this as well is wasteful. Remove the duplicated icache flushing.

page_address() is a function call rather than a macro, and so:
if (page_address(page))
do_something(page_address(page));
results in two calls to this function. This is unnecessary; remove

Some Blackfin on-chip ROMs utilize some MDMA channels during the suspend
and resume process, but don't clean up after themselves. So manually
clear all DMA channels when resuming since no DMA could have been running
at this point in time. Now Linux should be able to work regardless of any
laziness on the part of the on-chip ROM or boot loader.

In commit 0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53, we introduced the
use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.
Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior
of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq
loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at
a single frequency
This trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.

On ARMv7, it is invalid to map the same physical address multiple times
with different memory types. Since system RAM is already mapped as
'memory', subsequent remapping of it must retain this attribute.
However, DMA memory maps it as "strongly ordered". Fix this by introducing
'pgprot_dmacoherent()' which provides the necessary page table bits for
DMA mappings.

IXP23xx added support for dma_alloc_coherent() for DMA arches with an
exception in dma_alloc_coherent(). This is a subset of what goes on
in __dma_alloc(), and there is no reason why dma_alloc_writecombine()
should not be given the same treatment (except, maybe, that IXP23xx
doesn't use it.)
We can better deal with this by moving the arch_is_coherent() test
inside __dma_alloc() and killing the code duplication.

We effectively have three implementations of dma_free_coherent() mixed up
in the code; the incoherent MMU, coherent MMU and noMMU versions.
The coherent MMU and noMMU versions are actually functionally identical.
The incoherent MMU version is almost the same, but with the additional
step of unmapping the secondary mapping.
Separate out this additional step into __dma_free_remap() and simplify
the resulting dma_free_coherent() code.

This was the cause of various boot failures on V480, V880, etc.
systems.
Kernel image memory was being overwritten because the vmemmap[]
array was being sized to small. So if you had physical memory
addresses past a certain point, the early bootup would spam
all over variables in the kernel data section.
The vmemmap mappings map page structs, not page struct pointers.
And that was the key thinko in the macro definition.
This was fixable thanks to the help, reports, and tireless patience
of Hermann Lauer.

Using OABI, the call to put_user in do_signal can fail causing the
calling app to hang.
The solution is to check if put_user fails and force the app to
seg fault in that case.
