The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

Software events are required as part of the measurable stuff by the
Linux performance counter subsystem. Here is the list of events added by
this patch:
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ
PERF_COUNT_SW_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS
PERF_COUNT_SW_EMULATION_FAULTS

Put the original syscall number into ->regs[0] when we leave syscall
with error. Use it in restart logics. Everything else will have
it 0 since we pass through SAVE_SOME on all the ways in. Note that
in places like bad_stack and inllegal_syscall we leave it 0 - it's not
restartable.

When init is started it is SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE. If it were to get an
address error, we would try to send it SIGBUS, but it would be ignored
and the faulting instruction restarted. This results in an endless
loop.
We need to use force_sig() instead so it will actually die and give us
some useful information.

Arguably using the address error handler has always been ugly. But with
processors that handle unaligned loads and stores in hardware the
current mechanism ceases to work so switch it to a BREAK instruction and
allocate break code 514 to the FPU emulator.
Yoichi Yuasa provided a build fix for CONFIG_BUG=n.

Currently a number of unaligned instructions is counted but not used.
Add /debug/mips/unaligned_instructions file to show the value.
And add /debug/mips/unaligned_action to control behavior upon an
unaligned access. Possible actions are:
0: silently fixup the unaligned access.
1: send SIGBUS.
2: dump registers, process name, etc. and fixup.

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.
Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

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!
