<content type='text'>
There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the
existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS.  While here, also define some more
macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this
reduces code duplication as well.

<title>asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory</title>

<id>630f289b7114c0e68519cbd634e2b7ec804ca8c5</id>
<content type='text'>
Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
    (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
    arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild &gt; $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
	xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |
while read header
do
	mandatory=yes

	for arch in $arches
	do
		if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild &amp;&amp;
			! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
			mandatory=no
			break
		fi
	done

	if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
		echo "mandatory-y += $header" &gt;&gt; $tmpfile

		for arch in $arches
		do
			sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild
		done
	fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile &gt;&gt; include/asm-generic/Kbuild

-----------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

   - Continued user-access cleanups in the futex code.

   - percpu-rwsem rewrite that uses its own waitqueue and atomic_t
     instead of an embedded rwsem. This addresses a couple of
     weaknesses, but the primary motivation was complications on the -rt
     kernel.

   - Introduce raw lock nesting detection on lockdep
     (CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING=y), document the raw_lock vs. normal
     lock differences. This too originates from -rt.

   - Reuse lockdep zapped chain_hlocks entries, to conserve RAM
     footprint on distro-ish kernels running into the "BUG:
     MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAIN_HLOCKS too low!" depletion of the lockdep
     chain-entries pool.

   - Misc cleanups, smaller fixes and enhancements - see the changelog
     for details"

Move access_ok() in and pagefault_enable()/pagefault_disable() out.
Mechanical conversion only - some instances don't really need
a separate access_ok() at all (e.g. the ones only using
get_user()/put_user(), or architectures where access_ok()
is always true); we'll deal with that in followups.

At IRQ/exception entry/exit:

 * ACC0_LO, ACC0_HI (we already save them as r58, r59 pair)
At context switch:
 * ACC0_GLO, ACC0_GHI

When DSP extensions are present, some of the regular integer instructions
such as DIV, MACD etc are executed in the DSP unit with semantics alterable
by flags in DSP_CTRL aux register. This register is writable by userspace
and thus can potentially affect corresponding instructions in kernel code,
intentionally or otherwise. So safegaurd kernel by effectively disabling
DSP_CTRL upon bootup and every entry to kernel.

Do note that for this config we simply zero out the DSP_CTRL reg assuming
userspace doesn't really care about DSP. The next patch caters to the DSP
aware userspace where this reg is saved/restored upon kernel entry/exit.

We'll use this macro in coming patches extensively.

The default defintions use fill pattern 0x90 for padding which for ARC
generates unintended "ldh_s r12,[r0,0x20]" corresponding to opcode 0x9090

So use ".align 4" which insert a "nop_s" instruction instead.
