<title>parisc: Fix vDSO signal breakage on 32-bit kernel</title>

<content type='text'>
Addition of vDSO support for parisc in kernel v5.18 suddenly broke glibc
signal testcases on a 32-bit kernel.

The trampoline code (sigtramp.S) which is mapped into userspace includes
an offset to the context data on the stack, which is used by gdb and
glibc to get access to registers.

In a 32-bit kernel we used by mistake the offset into the compat context
(which is valid on a 64-bit kernel only) instead of the offset into the
"native" 32-bit context.

The commit e8aa7b17fe41 broke the 32-bit load-word unalignment exception
handler because it calculated the wrong amount of bits by which the value
should be shifted. This patch fixes it.

Fix a boot crash on a c8000 machine as reported by Dave.  Basically it changes
patch_map() to return an alias mapping to the to-be-patched code in order to
prevent writing to write-protected memory.

<title>parisc: Fix flush_anon_page on PA8800/PA8900</title>

Anonymous pages are allocated with the shared mappings colouring,
SHM_COLOUR. Since the alias boundary on machines with PA8800 and
PA8900 processors is unknown, flush_user_cache_page() might not
flush all mappings of a shared anonymous page. Flushing the whole
data cache flushes all mappings.

This won't fix all coherency issues with shared mappings but it
seems to work well in practice.  I haven't seen any random memory
faults in almost a month on a rp3440 running as a debian buildd
machine.

There is a small preformance hit.
