Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
that CPU will have undefined results.
The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
run on other CPUs.
One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
a function is very high.
The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
written is the same as what exists.
Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
The steps that the patcher takes are:
1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
and the new code into the "code" buffer.
2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
4) Write the code
5) clear the flag.
6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
going to the next line that must be patched.
This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.
Thanks to Ingo Molnar for suggesting the idea, and to Arjan van de Ven
for his guidence on what is safe and what is not.

This patch improves the support for gpio pins that are hard wired
to either input or output and lack control register association.
A special force enum id is used to allow use without control
register but still mark the gpio pin as input or output.

Commit 3f5a54e371ca20b119b73704f6c01b71295c1714 ("ftrace: dump out ftrace
buffers to console on panic") added an ftrace buffer dumper that hooks
in to the die notifier chain and dumps out data in the oops path.
Unfortunately SH supported ftrace but didn't support DIE_OOPS, so add
that in and get it building again.

This tidies up a lot of the PIO/MMIO split. No in-tree platforms were
making use of the MMIO overloading through the machvec (nor have any of
them been in some time), so we just kill all of that off. The ISA I/O
routine wrapping remains unaffected, which remains the only special
casing outside of the iomap API that boards need to think about.

This follows the powerpc commit f6a616800e68b61807d0f7bb0d5dc70665ef8046
'[POWERPC] Fix kernel stack allocation alignment'.
SH has traditionally forced the thread order to be relative to the page
size, so there were never any situations where the same bug was
triggered by slub. Regardless, the usage of > 8kB stacks for the larger
page sizes is overkill, so we switch to using slab allocations there,
as per the powerpc change.

These have been using overrides for ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS while the generic versions can be used instead.
Presently the pt_regs are also duplicated across elf_core_copy_regs()
and elf_core_copy_task_regs(), this switches to simply copying out
through elf_core_copy_regs() instead.
