Reenable kprobes and alternative patching when the kernel text is write
protected by DEBUG_RODATA
Add a general utility function to change write protected text. The new
function remaps the code using vmap to write it and takes care of CPU
synchronization. It also does CLFLUSH to make icache recovery faster.
There are some limitations on when the function can be used, see the
comment.
This is a newer version that also changes the paravirt_ops code.
text_poke also supports multi byte patching now.
Contains bug fixes from Zach Amsden and suggestions from Mathieu
Desnoyers.

This patch makes the i386 behave the same way that x86_64 does when a
segfault happens. A line gets printed to the kernel log so that tools
that need to check for failures can behave more uniformly between
debug.show_unhandled_signals sysctl variable to 0 (or by doing echo 0 >
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace)
Also, all of the lines being printed are now using printk_ratelimit() to
deny the ability of DoS from a local user with a program like the
following:
main()
{
while (1)
if (!fork()) *(int *)0 = 0;
}
This new revision also includes the fix that Andrew did which got rid of
new sysctl that was added to the system in earlier versions of this.
Also, 'show-unhandled-signals' sysctl has been renamed back to the old
'exception-trace' to avoid breakage of people's scripts.
AK: Enabling by default for i386 will be likely controversal, but let's see what happens
AK: Really folks, before complaining just fix your segfaults
AK: I bet this will find a lot of silent issues

__ndelay and __udelay have not been delayung >= specified time.
The problem with __ndelay has been tacked down to the rounding of the
multiplier constant. By changing this, delays > app 18us are correctly
calculated.
The problem with __udelay has also been tracked down to rounding issues.
Changing the multiplier constant (to match that used in sparc64) corrects
for large delays and adding in a rounding constant corrects for trunctaion
errors in the claculations.
Many short delays will return without looping. This is not an error as there
is the fixed delay of doing all the maths to calculate the loop count.

get_vm_area always returns an area with an adjacent guard page. That guard
page is included in vm_struct.size. iounmap uses vm_struct.size to
determine how much address space needs to have change_page_attr applied to
it, which will BUG if applied to the guard page.
This patch adds a helper function - get_vm_area_size() in linux/vmalloc.h -
to return the actual size of a vm area, and uses it to make iounmap do the
right thing. There are probably other places which should be using
get_vm_area_size().

e820_hole_size() now uses the newly extracted helper function,
e820_find_active_region(), to determine the size of usable RAM in a range of
PFN's.
This was previously broken because of two reasons:
- The start and end PFN's of each e820 entry were not properly rounded
prior to excluding those entries in the range, and
- Entries smaller than a page were not properly excluded from being
accumulated.
This resulted in emulated nodes being incorrectly mapped to ranges that
were completely reserved and not candidates for being registered as
active ranges.

RAM installed. when using kexec to load second kernel. In the second
kernel, when mem is allocated for GART, it will do the memset for clear, it
will cause restart, because some device still used that for dma. solution
will be:
in second kernel: disable that at first before we try to allocate mem for
it. or in the first kernel: do disable that before shutdown.
Andi/Eric/Alan prefer to second one for clean shutdown in first kernel.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious that
something has gone wrong.
