<title>xtensa: don't use alternate signal stack on threads</title>

According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating
thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack
corruption among cloned threads), current-&gt;sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned
processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate
signal stack in this case. This has been broken since commit 29c4dfd9 ([XTENSA]
Remove non-rt signal handling).

Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc.

<title>xtensa: fix fast_syscall_spill_registers_fixup</title>

<id>244066f4be8ce2dc2d2d60f01bceeba55c71a783</id>
<content type='text'>
fast_syscall_spill_registers_fixup was not correctly updated by the
'keep a3 and excsave1 on entry to exception handlers' patch: it doesn't
preserve a3 that it gets on entry, breaking _spill_registers in case of
page fault on stack during register spilling, leading to unhandled
exception in kernel mode.

Preserve a3 by saving it in the original _spill_registers stack frame's
a3 during exception handling and restoring it afterwards.

Also fix comments and function bounds annotations.

xtansa allmodbuild fails with:

arch/xtensa/kernel/xtensa_ksyms.c:129:1: error: '_mcount' undeclared here (not in a function)
make[2]: *** [arch/xtensa/kernel/xtensa_ksyms.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/xtensa/kernel] Error 2

The breakage is due to commit 478ba61af (xtensa: add static function tracer
support) which exports _mcount without declaring it.

Commits 925f5532 (xtensa: ccount based clockevent implementation) and e3f43291
(xtensa: ccount based sched_clock) introduced users of ccount_freq. This
variable doesn't exist when CONFIG_XTENSA_CALIBRATE_CCOUNT is disabled. Add
ccount_freq definition in this case.

underflow handler to load missing register window and retry failed
movsp.

Based on the SMP patch by Joe Taylor and subsequent fixes.
Preserve exception table pointer (normally stored in excsave1 SR) as it
cannot be easily restored in SMP environment.

Check pending signals and rescheduling thread flags with interrupts
disabled, and don't enable them if no flags are set. Call
trace_hardirqs_on after thread flags handling, so that rescheduling is
done and hardirqs tracking flag is updated in the correct task context.
