We clobber %i1 as well as %i0 for these system calls,
because they give two return values.
Therefore, on error, we have to restore %i1 properly
or else the restart explodes since it uses the wrong
arguments.
This fixes glibc's nptl/tst-eintr1.c testcase.

Back around the same time we were bootstrapping the first 32-bit sparc
Linux kernel with a SunOS userland, we made the signal frame match
that of SunOS.
By the time we even started putting together a native Linux userland
for 32-bit Sparc we realized this layout wasn't sufficient for Linux's
needs.
Therefore we changed the layout, yet kept support for the old style
signal frame layout in there. The detection mechanism is that we had
sys_sigaction() start passing in a negative signal number to indicate
"new style signal frames please".
Anyways, no binaries exist in the world that use the old stuff. In
fact, I bet Jakub Jelinek and myself are the only two people who ever
had such binaries to be honest.
So let's get rid of this stuff.
I added an assertion using WARN_ON_ONCE() that makes sure 32-bit
applications are passing in that negative signal number still.

The idea of this thing is we could save/restore the firmware's
palette when breaking in and out of the firmware prompt.
Only one driver implemented this (atyfb) and it's value is
questionable. If you're just debugging you don't really
care that the characters end up being purple or whatever.
And we can provide better debugging and firmware command
facilities with minimal in-kernel console I/O drivers.

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

The current scheme works on static interpretation of text names, which
is wrong.
The output-device setting, for example, must be resolved via an alias
or similar to a full path name to the console device.
Paths also contain an optional set of 'options', which starts with a
colon at the end of the path. The option area is used to specify
which of two serial ports ('a' or 'b') the path refers to when a
device node drives multiple ports. 'a' is assumed if the option
specification is missing.
This was caught by the UltraSPARC-T1 simulator. The 'output-device'
property was set to 'ttya' and we didn't pick upon the fact that this
is an OBP alias set to '/virtual-devices/console'. Instead we saw it
as the first serial console device, instead of the hypervisor console.
The infrastructure is now there to take advantage of this to resolve
the console correctly even in multi-head situations in fbcon too.
Thanks to Greg Onufer for the bug report.

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.
* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
(IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
to the idle thread.
- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
the idle task.
POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

machine_restart, machine_halt and machine_power_off are machine
specific hooks deep into the reboot logic, that modules
have no business messing with. Usually code should be calling
kernel_restart, kernel_halt, kernel_power_off, or
emergency_restart. So don't export machine_restart,
machine_halt, and machine_power_off so we can catch buggy users.

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!
