[ Upstream commit c82084117f79bcae085e40da526253736a247120 ]

Set the resource type when we reserve VGA-related I/O port resources.

The resource code doesn't actually look at the type, so it inserts
resources without a type in the tree correctly even without this change.
But if we ever print a resource without a type, it looks like this:

  vga+ [??? 0x000003c0-0x000003df flags 0x0]

Setting the type means it will be printed correctly as:

  vga+ [io  0x000003c0-0x000003df]

<title>alpha: fix crash if pthread_create races with signal delivery</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 21ffceda1c8b3807615c40d440d7815e0c85d366 ]

On alpha, a process will crash if it attempts to start a thread and a
signal is delivered at the same time. The crash can be reproduced with
this program: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg00473.html

The reason for the crash is this:
* we call the clone syscall
* we go to the function copy_process
* copy process calls copy_thread_tls, it is a wrapper around copy_thread
* copy_thread sets the tls pointer: childti-&gt;pcb.unique = regs-&gt;r20
* copy_thread sets regs-&gt;r20 to zero
* we go back to copy_process
* copy process checks "if (signal_pending(current))" and returns
  -ERESTARTNOINTR
* the clone syscall is restarted, but this time, regs-&gt;r20 is zero, so
  the new thread is created with zero tls pointer
* the new thread crashes in start_thread when attempting to access tls

The comment in the code says that setting the register r20 is some
compatibility with OSF/1. But OSF/1 doesn't use the CLONE_SETTLS flag, so
we don't have to zero r20 if CLONE_SETTLS is set. This patch fixes the bug
by zeroing regs-&gt;r20 only if CLONE_SETTLS is not set.

Fix the bootpfile and bootpzfile make targets to creat BOOTP images.
Both targets were broken due to some missing defines to re-map ELF
constants. In addition the old code used the generic vsprintf function
of the kernel which we now replace by a simple and much smaller
implementation for the bootloader.
