[ Upstream commit 0fd0ff01d4c3c01e7fe69b762ee1a13236639acc ]

Now that all of the user copy routines are converted to return
accurate residual lengths when an exception occurs, we no longer need
the broken fixup routines.

[ Upstream commit 83a17d2661674d8c198adc0e183418f72aabab79 ]

The fixup helper function mechanism for handling user copy fault
handling is not %100 accurrate, and can never be made so.

We are going to transition the code to return the running return
return length, which is always kept track in one or more registers
of each of these routines.

In order to convert them one by one, we have to allow the existing
behavior to continue functioning.

Therefore make all the copy code that wants the fixup helper to be
used return negative one.

After all of the user copy routines have been converted, this logic
and the fixup helpers themselves can be removed completely.

If kernel boot parameter nr_cpus is set, it should define the number
of CPUs that can ever be available in the system i.e.
cpu_possible_mask. setup_nr_cpu_ids() overrides the nr_cpu_ids based
on the cpu_possible_mask during kernel initialization. If
cpu_possible_mask is not set based on the nr_cpus value, earlier part
of the kernel would be initialized using nr_cpus value leading to a
kernel crash.

Set cpu_possible_mask based on nr_cpus value. Thus setup_nr_cpu_ids()
becomes redundant and does not corrupt nr_cpu_ids value.

<title>sparc64 mm: Fix more TSB sizing issues</title>

Commit af1b1a9b36b8 ("sparc64 mm: Fix base TSB sizing when hugetlb
pages are used") addressed the difference between hugetlb and THP
pages when computing TSB sizes.  The following additional issues
were also discovered while working with the code.

In order to save memory, THP makes use of a huge zero page.  This huge
zero page does not count against a task's RSS, but it does consume TSB
entries.  This is similar to hugetlb pages.  Therefore, count huge
zero page entries in hugetlb_pte_count.

Accounting of THP pages is done in the routine set_pmd_at().
Unfortunately, this does not catch the case where a THP page is split.
To handle this case, decrement the count in pmdp_invalidate().
pmdp_invalidate is only called when splitting a THP.  However, 'sanity
checks' are added in case it is ever called for other purposes.

A more general issue exists with HPAGE_SIZE accounting.
hugetlb_pte_count tracks the number of HPAGE_SIZE (8M) pages.  This
value is used to size the TSB for HPAGE_SIZE pages.  However,
each HPAGE_SIZE page consists of two REAL_HPAGE_SIZE (4M) pages.
The TSB contains an entry for each REAL_HPAGE_SIZE page.  Therefore,
the number of REAL_HPAGE_SIZE pages should be used to size the huge
page TSB.  A new compile time constant REAL_HPAGE_PER_HPAGE is used
to multiply hugetlb_pte_count before sizing the TSB.

Changes from V1
- Fixed build issue if hugetlb or THP not configured

Instead of having each caller of check_object_size() need to remember to
check for a const size parameter, move the check into check_object_size()
itself. This actually matches the original implementation in PaX, though
this commit cleans up the now-redundant builtin_const() calls in the
various architectures.
