This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any
module would cause an oops. We weren't marking the pages containing
the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug
introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination
definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an
exception on processors that support hardware execute permission.
This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and
PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.

The ptrace compat wrapper mishandles access to the fpu registers. The
PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR requests miscalculate the index into
the fpr array due to the broken FPINDEX macro. The
PPC_PTRACE_PEEKUSR_3264 request needs to use the same formula that the
native ptrace interface uses when operating on the register number (as
opposed to the 4-byte offset). The PPC_PTRACE_POKEUSR_3264 request
didn't take TS_FPRWIDTH into account.

The irq remapping layer seems to cause some confusion when people
see a different irq number in /proc/interrupts vs the one they
request in their driver or DTS.
So have the irq remapping layer print out a message when we map an
irq. The message is only printed the first time the irq is mapped,
and it's KERN_DEBUG so most people won't see it.

When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX for the
current process. If we don't, on return to userspace it may execute a
VSX instruction before the next FP instruction, and not have its
register state refreshed correctly from the thread_struct. Ditto for
altivec.
This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs results in
fix_alignment calling giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs (in order to
do a single <-> double conversion), and then returning to userspace
with FP off but VSX on. Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before
another FP instruction, it will proceed without another exception and
hence have the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.
lfs unaligned <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on
VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31,
which overlap the FPRs.

The (relatively) new pmac_zilog driver doesn't use the pre-munged
IRQ numbers from the macio_dev unlike other macio things, it
directly maps it off the OF device-tree.
It does that because it can be initialized much earlier than the
registration of the macio devices, in order to get a serial
console early.
Unfortunately, that means that it "misses" some fixups done
by the macio layer to work around missing interrupt descriptions
in the device-tree of the Wallstreet machines.
This patch brings the necessary workaround into the pmac_zilog
driver itself to bring it back to working condition.

currently audit_log_n_untrustedstring() uses audit_string_contains_control()
to check if the 'string' has any control characters. If the 'string' has an
embedded NULL audit_string_contains_control() will return that the data has
no control characters and will then pass the string to audit_log_n_string
with the total length, not the length up to the first NULL.
audit_log_n_string() does a memcpy of the entire length and so the actual
audit record emitted may then contain a NULL and then whatever random memory
is after the NULL.
Since we want to log the entire octet stream (if we can't trust the data
to be a string we can't trust that a NULL isn't actually a part of it)
we should just consider NULL as a control character. If the caller is
certain they want to stop at the first NULL they should be using
audit_log_untrustedstring.

EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
"\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
an audit record.

This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods. If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc). When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.
In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.
For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode. When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value. This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.
Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug. This patch
doesn't affect that usage.
