We are not working with values from MSR that's why
we can discard it and use r11 for different purpose without
saving/restoring.

Remove set_vms because UMS is cleared and VMS is already setup.
Optimize function calling which save one additional instruction.

VMS is always setup because VM mode was before
exception/syscall/interrupt. Kernel continues in kernel mode
that's why we have to clear UMS bit if kernel comes from
user space.

PT_MODE stores information if kernel comes from user
or kernel space. If come from user space, PT_MODE
contains 0. If come from kernel store, PT_MODE contains
non zero value. We don't need to save value 1. I am using
r1 register which contains non zero value.
This change save one additional instruction.

Keep together all arguments for send_sig function.
Move returning address to delay slot which is executed.
Remove additional send_sig loading. I am using IMM part of
rtbd instruction with r0.
old solution:
addik r11, r0, send_sig
rtbd r11, 0
nop
new solution:
rtbd r0, send_sig
nop
There is one instruction saving.

It is necessary to setup BIP and EE and clear EIP
only for unaligned exception handler. The rest of
hw exception handlers don't require it.
HW exception occured and we are not in virtual mode.
That's why we can do operations protected by EIP.
Interrupt, next hw exception or syscall can't occur.
EIP is cleared by rted.
This change speedup page_fault hw exception handler
which is critical path.
There is also necessary to save R11 content before
flag setup for unaligned exception.

SAVE_STATE macro is used in hw exceptions high level handling
functions. Hw exception doesn't disable IRQ that's why we don't
need to reenable it.

We don't need to protect by BIP whole ret_from_trap/ret_from_exc code.
Only restoring from user/hw exception should be covered.
If BIP is setup, IRQ can't occur.

There is a way howto remove Kernel Mode variable. It is easier
to parse UMS bit in MSR to find out if I come from kernel or user
space. Loading MSR content should be in one cycle and loading
PER_CPU variable depends on memory state.

Save and restore R3/R4 registers in macros. This change
help to cleanup entry.S.
In ret_from_trap function we are saving returning value from
syscall to pt_regs on stack that's why we don't need to save and
restore these values before kernel functions (schedule, do_signal).

Implement intelligent backtracing by searching for stack frame creation,
and emitting only return addresses. Use print_hex_dump() to display the
entire binary kernel stack.
Limitation: MMU kernels are not currently able to trace beyond a system trap
(interrupt, syscall, etc.). It is the intent of this patch to provide
infrastructure that can be extended to add this capability later.
Changes from V1:
* Removed checks in find_frame_creation() that prevented location of the frame
creation instruction in heavily optimized code
* Various formatting/commenting/file location tweaks per review comments
* Dropped Kconfig option to enable STACKTRACE as something logically separate

sys_clone syscall ignored args which this patch mapped to args
which are passing from glibc.
Here is the origin problem description.
"I ran the static libgcc tests (very few of them are there, they are
mostly dynamically linked) and some of them fail with an assertion in
fork() system call (tid != pid), I looked at the microblaze/entry.S
file and it looks suspicious (ignores arguments 3-5)"
Arg mapping should be:
glibc ARCH_FORK(...) -> do_fork(...)
r5 -> r5 (clone_flags)
r6 -> r6 (stack_start, use parent->stack if NULL)
pt_regs -> r7 (pt_regs)
r7 -> r8 (stack_size)
r8 -> r9 (parent_tidptr)
r9 -> r10 (child_tidptr)

This patch add core PREEMPT support for Microblaze.
I tried to trace it via tracers and I was able to see any output.
I also added low level debug functions to see if that code is called.

Saving is done in SAVE_STATE macros that's why another save discard
previous saved value.
This change has no effect to normal programs because they ends in any exception
and they are killed. On the other side has effect on debugging.

The prototypes in syscalls.h all make sense for
microblaze, but for some of them, the actual implementation
in sys_microblaze.c needs to be adapted.

When legacy signal handling is disabled, the
arch/microblaze/kernel/signal.c implementation can
be much simpler, as most of it is handled generically
from kernel/signal.c.
This is also a prerequisite for using the generic
asm/unistd.h, which does not provide __NR_sigreturn,
because this macro is referenced by the current signal.c
implementation.
