This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
since decemeber.
- This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
were cleared on mips and s390.
- Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
- Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
- Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
architectures f_spare only has 4 ints. Which makes
the previous technique of clearing each int individually
broken.
I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
the compat and the native version working the same.

Convert some MIPS architecture's code to using struct syscore_ops

This simplifies the code and reduces the kernel's memory footprint.
It also is necessary for removing sysdevs from the kernel entirely in

Page table entries are made invalid by writing a zero into the the PTE
slot in a page table. This creates a race condition with the TLB
modify handlers when they are updating the PTE.
CPU0 CPU1
Test for _PAGE_PRESENT
. set to not _PAGE_PRESENT (zero)
Set to _PAGE_VALID
So now the page not present value (zero) is suddenly valid and user
space programs have access to physical page zero.
We close the race by putting the test for _PAGE_PRESENT and setting of
_PAGE_VALID into an atomic LL/SC section. This requires more registers
than just K0 and K1 in the handlers, so we need to save some registers
to a save area and then restore them when we are done.
The save area is an array of cacheline aligned structures that should
not suffer cache line bouncing as they are CPU private.

On processors with deep write buffers, it is likely that many cycles
will pass between a CACHE instruction and the time the data actually
gets written out to DRAM. Add a SYNC instruction to ensure that the
buffers get emptied before the flush functions return.
Actual problem seen in the wild:
1) dma_alloc_coherent() allocates cached memory
2) memset() is called to clear the new pages
3) dma_cache_wback_inv() is called to flush the zero data out to memory
4) dma_alloc_coherent() returns an uncached (kseg1) pointer to the
freshly allocated pages
5) Caller writes data through the kseg1 pointer
6) Buffered writeback data finally gets flushed out to DRAM
7) Part of caller's data is inexplicably zeroed out
This patch adds SYNC between steps 3 and 4, which fixed the problem.

pfn_valid() compares the PFN to max_mapnr:
__pfn >= min_low_pfn && __pfn < max_mapnr;
On HIGHMEM kernels, highend_pfn is used to set the value of max_mapnr.
Unfortunately, highend_pfn is left at zero if the system does not
actually have enough RAM to reach into the HIGHMEM range. This causes
pfn_valid() to always return false, and when debug checks are enabled
the kernel will fail catastrophically:

This patch introduced topdown mmap support in user process address
space allocation policy.
Recently, we ran some large applications that use mmap heavily and
lead to OOM due to inflexible mmap allocation policy on MIPS32.
Since most other major archs supported it for years, it is reasonable
to follow the trend and reduce the pain of porting applications.
Due to cache aliasing concern, arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() and
