There are a few places where the change in struct pt_regs and the use of %gs
affect the userspace ABI. These are primarily debugging interfaces where
thread state can be inspected or extracted.

This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related
changes:
1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on
entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
__KERNEL_PDA.
2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
state can be accessed.
Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
(or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).
3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
register state in a signal context.
4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.
This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.
In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

This patch has the basic definitions of struct i386_pda, and the segment
selector in the GDT.
asm-i386/pda.h is more or less a direct copy of asm-x86_64/pda.h. The most
interesting difference is the use of _proxy_pda, which is used to give gcc a
model for the actual memory operations on the real pda structure. No actual
reference is ever made to _proxy_pda, so it is never defined.

i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature. Chuck reports that this gives him a +/-
0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark
x86_64 description follows:
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore
all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap
every context switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap
is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5
having done so are quite high obviously).
After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there
are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do
longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

Clean up the espfix code:
- Introduced PER_CPU() macro to be used from asm
- Introduced GET_DESC_BASE() macro to be used from asm
- Rewrote the fixup code in asm, as calling a C code with the altered %ss
appeared to be unsafe
- No longer altering the stack from a .fixup section
- 16bit per-cpu stack is no longer used, instead the stack segment base
is patched the way so that the high word of the kernel and user %esp
are the same.
- Added the limit-patching for the espfix segment. (Chuck Ebbert)

This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since
iBCS stopped being supported. This means it is now possible to actually
set an empty LDT segment.
In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been
replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both
setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register.
If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL
descriptor.

s->functions needs to be initialized earlier, for the "let's see
how high it increases" approach means that pcmcia_request_irq()
(which makes use of this value) is confused, and might request
an exclusive IRQ first even though it is not supposed to.
Also, a CIS override autoloaded using the firmware loader may
allow for the use of more or less functions in a multifunction
card. Therefore, we may need to schedule a call to add this
second function later on, or simply remove the other function
(it's always the first -valid- function which reaches this
codepath).

In case of re-IPL and diag308 doesn't work we have to reset all devices
manually and wait synchronously that each reset finished.
This patch adds the necessary infrastucture and the first exploiter of it.
Subsystems that need to add a function that needs to be called at re-IPL
may register/unregister this function via
struct reset_call {
struct reset_call *next;
void (*fn)(void);
};
void register_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset);
void unregister_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset);
When the registered function get called the context is:
- all cpus beside the current one are stopped
- all machine checks and interrupts are disabled
- prefixing is disabled
- a default machine check handler is available for use
The registered functions may not take any locks are sleep.
For the common I/O layer part of this patch:
Introduce a reset_call css_reset that does the following:
- clear all subchannels
- perform a rchp on all channel paths and wait for the resulting
machine checks
This replaces the calls to clear_all_subchannels() and
cio_reset_channel_paths() for kexec and ccw reipl. reipl_ccw_dev() now
uses reipl_find_schid() to determine the subchannel id for a given
device id.
Also remove cio_reset_channel_paths() and friends since they are not
needed anymore.
