x86-32: use specific __vmalloc_start_set flag in __virt_addr_valid
Rather than relying on the ever-unreliable system_state,
add a specific __vmalloc_start_set flag to indicate whether
the vmalloc area has meaningful boundaries yet, and use that
in x86-32's __phys_addr and __virt_addr_valid.

x86, math-emu: fix init_fpu for task != current
Impact: fix math-emu related crash while using GDB/ptrace
init_fpu() calls finit to initialize a task's xstate, while finit always
works on the current task. If we use PTRACE_GETFPREGS on another
process and both processes did not already use floating point, we get
a null pointer exception in finit.
This patch creates a new function finit_task that takes a task_struct
parameter. finit becomes a wrapper that simply calls finit_task with
current. On the plus side this avoids many calls to get_current which
would each resolve to an inline assembler mov instruction.
An empty finit_task has been added to i387.h to avoid linker errors in
case the compiler still emits the call in init_fpu when
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not defined.
The declaration of finit in i387.h has been removed as the remaining
code using this function gets its prototype from fpu_proto.h.

x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.
In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit:
/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64
There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.
The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.
A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.
In both these cases, audit_syscall_entry() will use the wrong system
call number table and the wrong system call argument registers. This
could be used to circumvent a syscall audit configuration that filters
based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

sdhci: Add NO_BUSY_IRQ quirk for Marvell CAFE host chip
As described here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/20/265
The CAFE chip is broken due to commit e809517f6fa5803a5a1cd5602.
Anton added a quirk here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/20/279 that fixes
CAFE's problem. This adds the quirk for CAFE.

sdhci: Add quirk for controllers with no end-of-busy IRQ
The Samsung SDHCI (and FSL eSDHC) controller block seems to fail
to generate an INT_DATA_END after the transfer has completed and
the bus busy state finished.

The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems:
- for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable
walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and
- when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases,
we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the
linear mapping
This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.
With x86-32 and -64 using the same mechanism for managing the
tss io permissions bitmap, large chunks of process*.c are
trivially unifyable, including:
- exit_thread
- flush_thread
- __switch_to_xtra (along with tsc enable/disable)
and as bonus pickups:
- sys_fork
- sys_vfork
(Note: asmlinkage expands to empty on x86-64)

Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification
x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks
with io permission bitmaps. x86-64 simply copies the next
tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch. x86-32
invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next
IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the
appropriate IO bitmap.
This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more
less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction
slower due to the extra fault. This tradeoff only makes sense
if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they
don't actually use IO instructions very often.
However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely
to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on
a server. Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win
all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from
64-bit code.
This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to
unifying this code in a later change.
