Current implementation of jprobes allocates empty pt_regs from the
stack which is then passed to kprobe_handler() and eventually to
singlestep(). Now when instruction being simulated is STMFD (like
in normal function prologues without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), stores
using SP actually write over top of the fabricated pt_regs
structure.
This can be reproduced for example by using LKDTM module:
# modprobe lkdtm
# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HW_IRQ_EN
after this, it fails with corrupted registers (before the requested crash would occur):
lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 9 rounds
lkdtm: Crash point INT_HW_IRQ_EN of type PANIC hit, trigger in 8 rounds

If IRQ balancing is used on a multicore ARM system, PMU interrupt
lines may be relocated onto CPUs other than the one causing the
counter overflow. This can result in misattribution of events to
the wrong core and, in the case that the CPU handling the interrupt
has not experience counter overflow, the interrupt can be disabled
because the handler returns IRQ_NONE.
This patch adds the IRQF_NOBALANCING flag to the request_irq call
in perf_events.c.

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in <asm/ptrace.h> and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.
Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't and the single stepping disable only happens if the
tracee process isn't a zombie yet, which is consistent with all
architectures using the modern ptrace code.

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

ARM: unexport symbols used to implement floating point emulation
ARM: use unified discard definition in linker script
x86: don't export inline function
sparc64: don't export static inline pci_ functions
The Kconfigs for in-tree floating point emulation do not allow building
as modules. That leaves the Acorn FPEmulator module. I found two public
releases of this as a binary module for 2.1 and 2.2 kernels, optimized
for ARMV4.[1] If there is a resurgence of interest in this, the symbols
can always be re-exported.
This allows the EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() hack to be removed. The ulterior
motive here is that EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() makes it harder to sort the
resulting kernel symbol tables. Sorted symbol tables will allow faster
symbol resolution during module loading.
Note that fp_send_sigs() and fp_printk() are simply aliases for existing
exports and add no obvious value. Similarly fp_enter could easily be
renamed to kern_fp_enter at the point of definition. Therefore removing
EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS will not serve as a material obstacle to re-adding
the exports should they be desired in future.
Build tested only.

Commit 023bf6f "linker script: unify usage of discard definition"
changed the linker scripts for all architectures except for ARM.
I can find no discussion about this ommision, so here are the changes
for ARM.
These changes are exactly parallel to the ia64 case.
"ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion."
Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated
an identical vmlinux file.
[I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition.
I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol
resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be
to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux,
_and discard the original unsorted tables_.
This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a
generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.]
