Khem Raj 9a40ac8615 ARM: 6164/1: Add kto and kfrom to input operands list.
When functions incoming parameters are not in input operands list gcc
4.5 does not load the parameters into registers before calling this
function but the inline assembly assumes valid addresses inside this
function. This breaks the code because r0 and r1 are invalid when
execution enters v4wb_copy_user_page ()

Also the constant needs to be used as third input operand so account
for that as well.

Tested on qemu arm.

Russell King 2725898fc9 ARM: Flush user mapping on VIVT processors when copying a page

Resolve this by flushing the user mapping before copying the page
on processors with a writeback VIVT cache.

Note: this does have a performance impact, and so needs further
consideration before being merged - can we optimize out some of
the cache flushes if, eg, we know that the page isn't yet mapped?

Russell King f00a75c094 ARM: Pass VMA to copy_user_highpage() implementations
Our copy_user_highpage() implementations may require cache maintainence.
Ensure that implementations have all necessary details to perform this
maintainence.

Uwe Kleine-König 446c92b290 [ARM] 5421/1: ftrace: fix crash due to tracing of __naked functions
This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150

On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then
mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there
is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was
called.

Nicolas Pitre 43ae286b7d [ARM] fix a couple clear_user_highpage assembly constraints
In all cases the kaddr is assigned an input register even though it is
modified in the assembly code.  Let's assign a new variable to the
modified value and mark those inline asm with volatile otherwise they
get optimized away because the output variable is otherwise not used.

Also fix a few conversion errors in copypage-feroceon.c and
copypage-v4mc.c.

Russell King 303c644365 [ARM] clearpage: provide our own clear_user_highpage()
For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the
additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary.

Russell King 063b0a4207 [ARM] copypage: provide our own copy_user_highpage()
We used to override the copy_user_page() function.  However, this
is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for
highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel
direct mapped address and back to a struct page again.

Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up
kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap.  So, push the
kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's
required.
