Re-add backlink for old style unwinder to stack switching. Add proper
stack frame and CFI annotations to call_softirq
This prevents a oops when backtracing with fallback through the
interrupt stack top.
Suggested by Jan Beulich and Herbert Xu wanted it in 2.6.18.

Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in
orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax
needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from
interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can
be > 256.
Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically
allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more
permissive interface to do_IRQ.

Intel EM64T CPUs handle uncanonical return addresses differently
from AMD CPUs.
The exception is reported in the SYSRET, not the next instruction.
This leads to the kernel exception handler running on the user stack
with the wrong GS because the kernel didn't expect exceptions
on this instruction.
This version of the patch has the teething problems that plagued an earlier
version fixed.
This is CVE-2006-0744

EM64T CPUs have somewhat weird error reporting for non canonical RIPs in
SYSRET.
We can't handle any exceptions there because the exception handler would
end up running on the user stack which is unsafe.
To avoid problems any code that might end up with a user touched pt_regs
should return using int_ret_from_syscall. int_ret_from_syscall ends up
using IRET, which allows safe exceptions.

This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
%gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

Being the foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this fixes CFI unwind
annotations in many low-level x86_64 routines, plus a config option
(available to all architectures, and also present in the previously sent
patch adding such annotations to i386 code) to enable them separatly
rather than only along with adding full debug information.

Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state
of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU.
To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different
call vectors. Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other
CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into
the right per cpu variable for the flush data.
When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available
vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now.
In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be
fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode.
Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated
debug code.
Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
