Provide a Kconfig choice to select whether only the default ABI, only
call0 ABI or both are supported. The default for XEA2 is windowed, but
it may change for XEA3. Call0 only runs userspace with PS.WOE disabled.
Supporting both windowed and call0 ABIs is tricky, as there's no
indication in the ELF binaries which ABI they use. So it is done by
probing: each process is started with PS.WOE disabled, but the handler
of an illegal instruction exception taken with PS.WOE retries faulting
instruction after enabling PS.WOE. It must happen before any signal is
delivered to the process, otherwise it may be delivered incorrectly.

return_address returns the address that is one level higher in the call
stack than requested in its argument, because level 0 corresponds to its
caller's return address. Use requested level as the number of stack
frames to skip.
This fixes the address reported by might_sleep and friends.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

Define macros SPILL_SLOT* that return a reference to the stack location
of the spill slot for specific register and use them instead of opencoded
address calculations.

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:
PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*<asm/uaccess.h>'
sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include <linux/uaccess.h>!" \
$(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)
to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Old oprofile interface will share user stack tracing with new perf
interface. Move oprofile user/kernel stack tracing to stacktrace.c to
make it possible.

Definition of CALLER_ADDR* through __builtin_return_address makes
compiler insert calls to __xtensa_libgcc_window_spill, which in turn
makes fast_syscall_spill_registers syscall that clobbers registers when
called from the kernel mode, leading to invalid opcode exceptions on
return to userspace.
Provide definition for CALLER_ADDR0 as MAKE_PC_FROM_RA(a0, a1) and in
case CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled extract CALLER_ADDR{1-3} from
stack.
