Provide a macro ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_ENTRY() to create exception table
entries and convert all open-coded places to use that macro.
This patch is a first step toward creating a exception table which only
holds 32bit pointers even on a 64bit kernel. That way in my own kernel
I was able to reduce the in-kernel exception table from 44kB to 22kB.

Include some documentation about how the parisc gateway page technically
works and how it is used from userspace.

This patch fixes partly PAGE_SIZEs of 16K or 64K by adjusting the
assembler PTE lookup code and the assembler TEMPALIAS code. Furthermore
some data alignments for PAGE_SIZE have been limited to 4K (or less) to
not waste too much memory with greater page sizes. As a side note, the
palo loader can (currently) only handle up to 10 ELF segments which is
fixed with tighter aligning as well.
My testings indicated that the ldci command in the sba iommu coding
needed adjustment by the PAGE_SHIFT value and that the I/O PDIR Page
size was only set to 4K for my machine (C3000).
All this fixes partly the boot, but there are still quite some caching
problems left. Examples are e.g. the symbios logic driver which is
failing:
sym0: <896> rev 0x7 at pci 0000:00:0f.0 irq 69
sym0: PA-RISC Firmware, ID 7, Fast-40, SE, parity checking
CACHE TEST FAILED: DMA error (dstat=0x81).sym0: CACHE INCORRECTLY CONFIGURED.
and the tulip network driver which doesn't seem to work correctly
either:
Sending BOOTP requests .net eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1
link partner capability of 05e1
..... timed out!
Beside those kernel fixes glibc will need fixes too to be able to handle
>4K page sizes.

1) PTRACE_SYSCALL doesn't work for 64bit process on parisc64.
Compat syscall table is used instead of 64bit one. IMO we should either
refuse to allow PTRACE_SYSCALL for 64bit processes or duplicate the
logics choosing the right syscall table into .Ltracesys.
2) if you have let the tracee run with PTRACE_SYSCALL and
it had stopped, you can use PTRACE_POKEUSR to modify syscall number
(r20) and arguments 1--4 (r26--r23). Modifications will have effect.
However, modifying arguments 5 and 6 (r22 and r21 resp.) works only
when process (32bit one) runs on 64bit host - on 32bit one it has no
effect. AFAICS, the diff below should fix that one.

1) Gate immediately and save a branch.
2) Fix off by one error in checking entry number.
3) Use sr7 instead of sr3 in error return path as sr3 might not
contain correct value.
4) Enable locking on UP systems to prevent incorrect operation of
the cas_action critical region on page faults.
Tested on several systems, including UP c3750 with 2.6.33.2 kernel.

Instead of fiddling with gr[20], restructure code to return whether
or not to -ENOSYS. (Also do a bit of fiddling to let them take

This makes parisc use the standard tracehook_report_syscall_entry
and tracehook_report_syscall_exit hooks in <linux/tracehook.h>.
To do this, we need to access current->thread.regs, and to know
whether we're entering or exiting the syscall, so add this to
syscall_trace.

The bug was that we were comparing __NR_syscalls to be greater or equal
to the syscall number stored in %r20. __NR_syscalls is one greater than
the last syscall though, so we're loading one entry beyond the end of the
syscall table, and trying to jump to it.
Fix this by only checking that we're greater, alternatively, we could
have compared to (__NR_Linux_syscalls - 1)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
