use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since
then nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with
PF_BORROWED_MM bit set.

As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is
always true.

<title>uml: cover stubs with a VMA</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3963333fe6767f15141ab2dc3b933721c636c212</id>
<content type='text'>
Give the stubs a VMA.  This allows the removal of a truly nasty kludge to make
sure that mm-&gt;nr_ptes was correct in exit_mmap.  The underlying problem was
always that the stubs, which have ptes, and thus allocated a page table,
weren't covered by a VMA.

This patch fixes that by using install_special_mapping in arch_dup_mmap and
activate_context to create the VMA.  The stubs have to be moved, since
shift_arg_pages seems to assume that the stack is the only VMA present at that
point during exec, and uses vma_adjust to fiddle its VMA.  However, that
extends the stub VMA by the amount removed from the stack VMA.

To avoid this problem, the stubs were moved to a different fixed location at
the start of the address space.

The init_stub_pte calls were moved from init_new_context to arch_dup_mmap
because I was occasionally seeing arch_dup_mmap not being called, causing
exit_mmap to die.  Rather than figure out what was really happening, I decided
it was cleaner to just move the calls so that there's no doubt that both the
pte and VMA creation happen, no matter what.  arch_exit_mmap is used to clear
the stub ptes at exit time.

The STUB_* constants in as-layout.h no longer depend on UM_TASK_SIZE, that
that definition is removed, along with the comments complaining about gcc.

Because the stubs are no longer at the top of the address space, some care is
needed while flushing TLBs.  update_pte_range checks for addresses in the stub
range and skips them.  flush_thread now issues two unmaps, one for the range
before STUB_START and one for the range after STUB_END.

Formatting changes in the files which have been changed in the course
of folding foo_skas functions into their callers.  These include:
	copyright updates
	header file trimming
	style fixes
	adding severity to printks

These changes should be entirely non-functional.

<title>uml: remove code made redundant by CHOOSE_MODE removal</title>

<id>urn:sha1:77bf4400319db9d2a8af6b00c2be6faa0f3d07cb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch makes a number of simplifications enabled by the removal of
CHOOSE_MODE.  There were lots of functions that looked like

	int foo(args){
		foo_skas(args);
	}

The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
sometimes entire header files) are deleted.

In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being
removed.

It turns out that usr2_handler was unused, so it is gone.

<title>uml: throw out CHOOSE_MODE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6aa802ce6acc9b1f0b34114b3f7c21c84872cc3a</id>
<content type='text'>
The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing
the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time
branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code.

This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all
CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch.  This leaves a number of trivial
functions which will be dealt with in a later patch.

There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond
this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions.

<id>urn:sha1:42fda66387daa53538ae13a2c858396aaf037158</id>
<content type='text'>
This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.

This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.

The removal is done as follows:
	remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
	get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
	replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents

There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context.  These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.

As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed.  There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.

I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.

The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode.  Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.

This patch:

Start getting rid of tt mode support.

This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.

CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.

The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

<title>[PATCH] x86: PARAVIRT: add hooks to intercept mm creation and destruction</title>

<content type='text'>
Add hooks to allow a paravirt implementation to track the lifetime of
an mm.  Paravirtualization requires three hooks, but only two are
needed in common code.  They are:

arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork

arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
  mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.

The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific
activate_mm() macro/function, and so doesn't need stub versions for
other architectures.  It's called when an mm is first used.
