This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.

The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.

This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

0ef36bd2b37815719e31a72d2beecc28ca8ecd26 09-Apr-2014 Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> parisc: change value of SHMLBA from 0x00400000 to PAGE_SIZE

On parisc, SHMLBA was defined to 0x00400000 (4MB) to reflect that we need to
take care of our caches for shared mappings. But actually, we can map a file at
any multiple address of PAGE_SIZE, so let us correct that now with a value of
PAGE_SIZE for SHMLBA. Instead we now take care of this cache colouring via the
constant SHM_COLOUR while we map shared pages.

9dabf60dc4abe6e06bebcc2ee46b4d76ec8741f2 31-Jan-2014 Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> parisc: add flexible mmap memory layout support

Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in
http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on
parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a
64bit Linux kernel).

0576da2c08e3d332f1b0653030d28ab804585ab6 20-Nov-2013 Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> parisc: fix mmap(MAP_FIXED|MAP_SHARED) to already mmapped address

locale-gen on Debian showed a strange problem on parisc:
mmap2(NULL, 536870912, PROT_NONE, MAP_SHARED, 3, 0) = 0x42a54000
mmap2(0x42a54000, 103860, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 3, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Basically it was just trying to re-mmap() a file at the same address
which it was given by a previous mmap() call. But this remapping failed
with EINVAL.

The problem is, that when MAP_FIXED and MAP_SHARED flags were used, we didn't
included the mapping-based offset when we verified the alignment of the given
fixed address against the offset which we calculated it in the previous call.

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as
well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area.
Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff
tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in
multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the
problem isn't often seen in practise.

Directly comparing task_struct->personality against PER_* is not fully
correct, as it doesn't take flags potentially stored in top three bytes
into account.

Analogically, directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or
PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes.

separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in
<asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.

It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

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!
