<title>asm-generic/uaccess.h: remove __strncpy_from_user/__strnlen_user</title>

This is a preparation for changing over architectures to the
generic implementation one at a time. As there are no callers
of either __strncpy_from_user() or __strnlen_user(), fold these
into the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() functions to make
each implementation independent of the others.

Many of these implementations have known bugs, but the intention
here is to not change behavior at all and stay compatible with
those bugs for the moment.

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating
the same code all over.  Instead just define a default value i.e
pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via
&lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.  All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable()
have been moved into their respective &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; header in order to
precede before the new generic definition.  This makes it much cleaner
with reduced code.

Currently most platforms define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as 0UL duplication the

makes it much cleaner with reduced code.

The default FIRST_USER_ADDRESS here would be skipped in &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt;

vmalloc() heavy workloads in UML are extremely slow, due to
flushing the entire kernel VM space (flush_tlb_kernel_vm())
on the first segfault.

Implement flush_cache_vmap() to avoid that, and while at it
also add flush_cache_vunmap() since it's trivial.

This speeds up my vmalloc() heavy test of copying files out
from /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/ by 30x (from 30s to 1s.)

vmalloc() heavy workloads in UML are extremely slow, due to
flushing the entire kernel VM space (flush_tlb_kernel_vm())
on the first segfault.

Implement flush_cache_vmap() to avoid that, and while at it
also add flush_cache_vunmap() since it's trivial.

This speeds up my vmalloc() heavy test of copying files out
from /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/ by 30x (from 30s to 1s.)

The generic asm futex implementation emulates atomic access to
memory by doing a get_user followed by put_user. These translate
to two mapping operations on UML with paging enabled in the
meantime. This, in turn may end up changing interrupts,
invoking the signal loop, etc.

This replaces the generic implementation by a mapping followed
by an operation on the mapped segment.

This patch enables the use of optimized xor routines from the x86
tree as well as the necessary fpu api shims so they can work on
UML.

1. Reflect host cpu flags into the UML instance so they can
be used to select the correct implementations for xor, crypto, etc.

2. Reflect host cache alignment into UML instance. This is
important when running 32 bit on a 64 bit host as 32 bit by
default aligns to 32 while the actual alignment should be 64.
Ditto for some Xeons which align at 128.
