<title>mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff()</title>

<content type='text'>
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

Adjust the atomic loop in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips
system call to branch straight back to the linked load rather than
jumping via a different subsection (whose purpose remains a mystery to
me).

EVA linked loads (LLE) and conditional stores (SCE) should be used on
EVA kernels for the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system
call, or else the atomic set will apply to the kernel view of the
virtual address space (potentially unmapped on EVA kernels) rather than
the user view (TLB mapped).

<title>MIPS: Save static registers before sysmips</title>

<content type='text'>
The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the
MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path
restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have
been saved on entry to the system call.

Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper
function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so
that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.

<title>MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() retry condition</title>

<content type='text'>
The inline asm retry check in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the
sysmips system call has been backwards since commit f1e39a4a616c ("MIPS:
Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler")
merged in v2.6.32, resulting in the non R10000_LLSC_WAR case retrying
until the operation was inatomic, before returning the new value that
was probably just written multiple times instead of the old value.

Invert the branch condition to fix that particular issue.

for one thing, the last argument is always __access_mask and had been such
since 2.4.0-test3pre8; for another, it can bloody well be a static inline -
-O2 or -Os, __builtin_constant_p() propagates through static inline calls.

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
