<title>powerpc/signal: Report minimum signal frame size to userspace via AT_MINSIGSTKSZ</title>

<content type='text'>
Implement the AT_MINSIGSTKSZ AUXV entry, allowing userspace to
dynamically size stack allocations in a manner forward-compatible with
new processor state saved in the signal frame

For now these statically find the maximum signal frame size rather than
doing any runtime testing of features to minimise the size.

glibc 2.34 will take advantage of this, as will applications that use
use _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ.

There are three architectures with function descriptors, try to
have common names for the address they contain in order to
refactor some functions into generic functions later.

powerpc has 'entry'
ia64 has 'ip'
parisc has 'addr'

Vote for 'addr' and update 'func_descr_t' accordingly.

Move it in asm/elf.h to have it at the same place on all
three architectures, remove the typedef which hides its real
type, and change it to a smoother name 'struct func_desc'.

All other architectures but s390 use a void pointer named 'vdso'
to reference the VDSO mapping.

In a following patch, the VDSO data page will be put in front of
text, vdso_base will then not anymore point to VDSO text.

To avoid confusion between vdso_base and VDSO text, rename vdso_base
into vdso and make it a void __user *.

The ultravisor will do an integrity check of the kernel image but we
relocated it so the check will fail. Restore the original image by
relocating it back to the kernel virtual base address.

This works because during build vmlinux is linked with an expected
virtual runtime address of KERNELBASE.

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we
have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the
address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions.

For 64-bit, align to 4GB to allow runtimes to use the entire 32-bit
address space for 32-bit pointers.  On 32-bit use 4MB, which is the
traditional x86 minimum load location, likely to avoid historically
requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB
would be used (since the NULL address is avoided).

<content type='text'>
It seems we didn't pay quite enough attention when testing the new cache
shape vectors, which means we didn't notice the bug where the vector for
the L1D was using the L1I values. Fix it, resulting in eg:

  L1I  cache size:     0x8000      32768B         32K
  L1I  line size:        0x80       8-way associative
  L1D  cache size:    0x10000      65536B         64K
  L1D  line size:        0x80       8-way associative

This adds AUX vectors for the L1I,D, L2 and L3 cache levels
providing for each cache level the size of the cache in bytes
and the geometry (line size and number of ways).

We chose to not use the existing alpha/sh definition which
packs all the information in a single entry per cache level as
it is too restricted to represent some of the geometries used
on POWER.
