If we're targetting a v6 or v7 core and have at least software perf events
available, then automatically add support for hardware breakpoints.

For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel,
it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface.
This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of
virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS
requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running
thread.

The hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel requires architecture-specific
support in order to install, remove, validate and manage hardware
breakpoints.
This patch adds initial support for this framework to the ARM architecture,
but restricts the number of watchpoints to a single resource to get around
the fact that the Data Fault Address Register is unknown when a watchpoint
debug exception is taken.
On cores with v7 debug, the Kernel can handle breakpoint and watchpoint
exceptions occuring from userspace. Older cores require clients to handle
the exception themselves by registering an appropriate overflow handler
or, in the case of ptrace, handling the raised SIGTRAP.
The memory-mapped extended debug interface is unsupported due to its
unreliability in real implementations.

The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
following problems:
1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
causing the group to fail.
This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

With several sections per module, and dozens of modules, the
searches down the linked list of sections would dominate the
lookup time, dwarfing any savings from the binary search
within the section.
A simple move-to-front optimisation exploits the commonality
of the code paths taken, and in simple real-world tests reduces
the number of steps in the search to barely more than 1.

Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak.
This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't
laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is
enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.
Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work
with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation. It also adds support
for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers.
With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop. Callsites are
patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the
ftrace_caller() routine as needed.

Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the
Thumb-2 instruction set by correcting the following errors using the
fixes suggested by Catalin Marinas:
- Problem: The following assembler errors appear at the "adr r0,
ftrace_stub" instruction:
entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004)
Fix: The errors don't occur with a non-global symbol, so use one.
- Problem: The "mov lr, pc" does not set the lsb when storing the pc in
lr. The called function returns with "bx lr", and the mode changes
to ARM.
Fix: Add a label on the return address and use "adr lr, BSYM(label)".
We don't modify the old mcount because it won't be built when using
Thumb-2.

The 2.6.36-rc kernel added three new system calls:
fanotify_init, fanotify_mark, and prlimit64. This patch
wires them up on ARM.
The only non-trivial issue here is the u64 argument to
sys_fanotify_mark(), but it is the 3rd argument and thus
passed in r2/r3 in both kernel and user space, so it causes
no problems.
Tested with a 2.6.36-rc2 EABI kernel on an ixp4xx machine.

- Most archs use one callchain buffer per cpu, except x86 that needs
to deal with NMIs. Provide a default perf_callchain_buffer()
implementation that x86 overrides.
- Centralize all the kernel/user regs handling and invoke new arch
handlers from there: perf_callchain_user() / perf_callchain_kernel()
That avoid all the user_mode(), current->mm checks and so...
- Invert some parameters in perf_callchain_*() helpers: entry to the
left, regs to the right, following the traditional (dst, src).

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

sys_accept4() was added in kernel 2.6.28, but ARM was not updated
to include it. The number and types of parameters is such that
no ARM-specific processing is needed, so wiring up sys_accept4()
just requires defining __NR_accept4 and adding a direct call in
the syscall entry table.
Tested with an EABI 2.6.35 kernel and Ulrich Drepper's original
accept4() test program, modified to define __NR_accept4 for ARM.
Using the updated unistd.h also eliminates a warning then building
glibc (2.10.2 and newer) about accept4() being unimplemented.

x86 calls machine_shutdown() from the various machine_*() calls which
take the machine down ready for halting, restarting, etc, and uses
this to bring the system safely to a point where those actions can be
performed. Such actions are stopping the secondary CPUs.
So, change the ARM implementation of these to reflect what x86 does.
This solves kexec problems on ARM SMP platforms, where the secondary
CPUs were left running across the kexec call.

The TWD local timers are unable to wake up the CPU when it is placed
into a low power mode, eg. C3. Therefore, we need to adapt things
such that the TWD code can cope with this.
We do this by always providing a broadcast tick function, and marking
the fact that the TWD local timer will stop in low power modes. This
means that when the CPU is placed into a low power mode, the core
timer code marks this fact, and allows an IPI to be given to the core.

All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts
and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin()
implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the
cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having
caches still enabled.)
This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache
types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support
code.

This changes the TCM handling so that a fixed area is reserved at
0xfffe0000-0xfffeffff for TCM. This areas is used by XScale but
XScale does not have TCM so the mechanisms are mutually exclusive.
This change is needed to make TCM detection more dynamic while
still being able to compile code into it, and is a must for the
unified ARM goals: the current TCM allocation at different places
in memory for each machine would be a nightmare if you want to
compile a single image for more than one machine with TCM so it
has to be nailed down in one place.
