Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations. Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.
This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all. avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the
architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that
now provided by the recently added default hooks.

It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
unsigned long long on all architectures. ia64 (in common with several
other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long. Migrating
piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.
Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long. This
is important as it affects C++ name mangling.
[Updated by Tony Luck to change efi.h:efi_freemem_callback_t to use
u64 for start/end rather than unsigned long]

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline. To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where
they belong.

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

module_free() refers the first parameter before checking.
But it is called like below(in kernel/kprobes). The first parameter is always NULL.
This happens when many probe points(>1024) are set by kprobes.
I encountered this with using SystemTap. It can set many probes easily.
static int __kprobes collect_one_slot(struct kprobe_insn_page *kip, int idx)
{
...
if (kip->nused == 0) {
hlist_del(&kip->hlist);
if (hlist_empty(&kprobe_insn_pages)) {
...
} else {
module_free(NULL, kip->insns); //<<< 1st param always NULL
kfree(kip);
}
return 1;
}
return 0;
}

percpu_modcopy() is defined multiple times in arch files. However, the only
user is module.c. Put a static definition into module.c and remove
the definitions from the arch files.

- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES
- fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.
Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
percpu.h for all arches.
An arch may define:
__per_cpu_offset Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).
__my_cpu_offset Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
the offset for variables of the currently executing
processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.
SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset) If an arch defines it then special handling
of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
by s/390.
(Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
so that there are less cases to deal with.)

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.
We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.
This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under
arch/ia64/kernel/.

In arch/ia64 change the explicit use of for-loops and NR_CPUS into the
general for_each_cpu() or for_each_online_cpu() constructs, as
appropriate. This widens the scope of potential future optimizations
of the general constructs, as well as takes advantage of the existing
optimizations of first_cpu() and next_cpu().

Some bits of the kernel assume that gp always points to valid memory,
in particular PHYSICAL_MODE_ENTER() assumes that both gp and sp are
valid virtual addresses with associated physical pages. The IA64
module loader puts gp well past the end of the module, with no physical
backing. Offsets on gp are still valid, but physical mode addressing
breaks for modules. Ensure that gp always falls within the module
body. Also ensure that gp is 8 byte aligned.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
