This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

<title>net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall</title>

Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont &amp; Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N &lt; vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot-&gt;unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

<title>ftrace, ia64: IA64 dynamic ftrace support</title>

<id>a14a07b8018b714e03a39ff2180c66e307ef4238</id>

IA64 dynamic ftrace support.
The original _mcount stub for each function is like:
	alloc r40=ar.pfs,12,8,0
	mov r43=r0;;
	mov r42=b0
	mov r41=r1
	nop.i 0x0
	br.call.sptk.many b0 = _mcount;;

The patch convert it to below for nop:
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	nop.x 0x0;;
This isn't completely nop, as there is one instuction 'mov r3=ip', but
it should be light and harmless for code follow it.

And below is for call
	[MII] nop.m 0x0
	mov r3=ip
	nop.i 0x0
	[MLX] nop.m 0x0
	brl.many .;;
In this way, only one instruction is changed to convert code between nop
and call. This should meet dyn-ftrace's requirement.
But this requires CPU support brl instruction, so dyn-ftrace isn't
supported for old Itanium system. Assume there are quite few such old
system running.
