Lots of asm-*/futex.h call pagefault_enable and pagefault_disable, which
are declared in linux/uaccess.h, without including linux/uaccess.h.

They all include asm/uaccess.h, so this patch replaces asm/uaccess.h
with linux/uaccess.h.

<title>[MIPS] Fix possible hang in LL/SC futex loops.</title>

The LL / SC loops in __futex_atomic_op() have the usual fixups necessary
for memory acccesses to userspace from kernel space installed:

        __asm__ __volatile__(
        "       .set    push                            \n"
        "       .set    noat                            \n"
        "       .set    mips3                           \n"
        "1:     ll      %1, %4  # __futex_atomic_op     \n"
        "       .set    mips0                           \n"
        "       " insn  "                               \n"
        "       .set    mips3                           \n"
        "2:     sc      $1, %2                          \n"
        "       beqz    $1, 1b                          \n"
        __WEAK_LLSC_MB
        "3:                                             \n"
        "       .set    pop                             \n"
        "       .set    mips0                           \n"
        "       .section .fixup,\"ax\"                  \n"
        "4:     li      %0, %6                          \n"
        "       j       2b                              \n"	&lt;-----
        "       .previous                               \n"
        "       .section __ex_table,\"a\"               \n"
        "       "__UA_ADDR "\t1b, 4b                    \n"
        "       "__UA_ADDR "\t2b, 4b                    \n"

        : "=r" (ret), "=&amp;r" (oldval), "=R" (*uaddr)
        : "0" (0), "R" (*uaddr), "Jr" (oparg), "i" (-EFAULT)
        : "memory");

The branch at the end of the fixup code, it goes back to the SC
instruction, no matter if the fault was first taken by the LL or SC
instruction resulting in an endless loop which will only terminate if
the address become valid again due to another thread setting up an
accessible mapping and the CPU happens to execute the SC instruction
successfully which due to the preceeding ERET instruction of the fault
handler would only happen if UNPREDICTABLE instruction behaviour of the
SC instruction without a preceeding LL happens to favor that outcome.
But normally processes are nice, pass valid arguments and we were just
getting away with this.

Thanks to Kaz Kylheku &lt;kaz@zeugmasystems.com&gt; for providing the original
report and a test case.

<content type='text'>
Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did
manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the
atomic thing.

Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on
the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future.

(NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on
       machines which have too many registers for their own good)

I found that NPTL's pthread_cond_signal() does not work properly on
kernels compiled by gcc 4.1.x.  I suppose inline asm for
__futex_atomic_op() was wrong.  I suppose:

1. "=&amp;r" constraint should be used for oldval.
2. Instead of "r" (uaddr), "=R" (*uaddr) for output and "R" (*uaddr)
   for input should be used.
3. "memory" should be added to the clobber list.

 o Implement futex_atomic_op_inuser() operation
 o Don't use the R10000-ll/sc bug workaround version for every processor.
   branch likely is deprecated and some historic ll/sc processors don't
   implement it.  In any case it's slow.
