1af0b2fc67 sh: Remove superfluous setup_frame_reg call
There's no need to setup the frame pointer again in
call_handle_tlbmiss. The frame pointer will already have been setup in
handle_interrupt.

944a343861 sh: Don't continue unwinding across interrupts
Unfortunately, due to poor DWARF info in current toolchains, unwinding
through interrutps cannot be done reliably. The problem is that the
DWARF info for function epilogues is wrong.

Take this standard epilogue sequence,

80003cc4:       e3 6f           mov     r14,r15
80003cc6:       26 4f           lds.l   @r15+,pr
80003cc8:       f6 6e           mov.l   @r15+,r14
						<---- interrupt here
80003cca:       f6 6b           mov.l   @r15+,r11
80003ccc:       f6 6a           mov.l   @r15+,r10
80003cce:       f6 69           mov.l   @r15+,r9
80003cd0:       0b 00           rts

If we take an interrupt at the highlighted point, the DWARF info will
bogusly claim that the return address can be found at some offset from
the frame pointer, even though the frame pointer was just restored. The
worst part is if the unwinder finds a text address at the bogus stack
address - unwinding will continue, for a bit, until it finally comes
across an unexpected address on the stack and blows up.

The only solution is to stop unwinding once we've calculated the
function that was executing when the interrupt occurred. This PC can be
easily calculated from pt_regs->pc.

142698282c sh: Correct the offset of the return address in ret_from_exception
The address that ret_from_exception and ret_from_irq will return to is
found in the stack slot for SPC, not PR. This error was causing the
DWARF unwinder to pick up the wrong return address on the stack and then
unwind using the unwind tables for the wrong function.

While I'm here I might as well add CFI annotations for the other
registers since they could be useful when unwinding.

221af7f87b Split 'flush_old_exec' into two functions
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and
it is pretty badly misnamed.  It doesn't just flush the old executable
environment, it also starts up the new one.

Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new
personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting
of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new
personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails.

As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this
insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit
(TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the
personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do
the actual personality magic.

This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the
'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail
(still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set
up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()).  All callers are changed
to trivially comply with the new world order.

79f211b8e1 sh64: wire up sys_accept4.
sh64 on the other hand provides both direct broken out syscalls as well
as socketcall access. As there are binaries that use both socketcall has
to stay around. The current ABI prefers direct syscalls.

It was pointed out that when sys_recvmmsg was added in, sys_accept4 was
overlooked. This takes care of wiring it up.

e76fe57447 sh: Remove old early serial console code V2
Now when the sh-sci driver can do early serial output,
get rid of the old duplicated code. This patch is V2 and
removes support for "earlyprintk=serial" together with
the following kconfig options:
CONFIG_EARLY_SCIF_CONSOLE
CONFIG_EARLY_SCIF_CONSOLE_PORT
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK

With this patch applied "earlyprintk=" support is always
built-in the SuperH kernel. For this to work the serial
driver must have early platform support and in the case
of sh-sci the serial console needs to be enabled:
CONFIG_SERIAL_SH_SCI_CONSOLE=y

So after enabling the SuperH SCI console kconfig option
you also need to point out port using the kernel command
line: "earlyprintk=sh-sci.N[,baudrate][,keep]"

Remember that clocks may be disabled by the boot loader
so you may have to do some board specific static clock
setup before earlyprintk will work on your platform.

0f09e197a3 sh: Apply the sleazy FPU changes for SH-2A FPU as well.
This plugs in the fpu_counter manipulation for the SH-2A side also.

d3ea9fa0a5 sh: Minor optimisations to FPU handling
A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular:

 - move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which
   is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field,
   which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to
   be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock().
   This mimics the i386 behaviour.

 - move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out
   of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better
   chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical
   with restore_fpu() and init_fpu().

 - implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can
   unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures.

Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in
particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads,

In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000
context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

a0458b07c1 sh: add sleazy FPU optimization
sh port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature currently implemented for some architectures
such us i386.

Right now the SH kernel has a 100% lazy fpu behaviour.
This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use.
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.
After 256 switches, this is reset and the 100% lazy behavior is returned.

Tests with LMbench showed no regression.
I saw a little improvement due to the prefetching (~2%).

The tests below also show that, with this sLeazy patch, indeed,
the number of FPU exceptions is reduced.
To test this. I hacked the lat_ctx LMBench to use the FPU a little more.

6d4561110a sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.
For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.
