be783a4721 x86, vdso: Unmap vdso pages
We mapped vdso pages but never unmapped them and the virtual address
is lost after exiting from the function, so unmap vdso pages here.

d7a0380dc3 x86-64, mm: Initialize VDSO earlier on 64 bits
When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its
module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process
is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall,
i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited
yet (link order matters).

Move the VDSO initialization code earlier by switching to something
before rootfs_initcall where initrd is loaded as rootfs. Specifically
to subsys_initcall. Do it for standard 64-bit path (init_vdso_vars)
and for compat (sysenter_setup), just in case people have 32-bit
initrd and ia32 emulation built-in.

i386 (pure 32-bit) is not affected, since sysenter_setup() is called
from check_bugs()->identify_boot_cpu() in start_kernel() before
rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init) where even kernel_init() calls
do_basic_setup()->do_initcalls().

What this patch fixes are early modprobe crashes such as:
Unpacking initramfs...
Freeing initrd memory: 9324k freed
modprobe[368]: segfault at 7fff4429c020 ip 00007fef397e160c \
    sp 00007fff442795c0 error 4 in ld-2.11.2.so[7fef397df000+1f000]

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

f7b6eb3fa0 x86: Set context.vdso before installing the mapping
In order to make arch_vma_name() work from inside
install_special_mapping() we need to set the context.vdso
before calling it.

( This is needed for performance counters to be able to track
  this special executable area. )

Addresses the problem pointed out by these sparse warning:
  arch/x86/vdso/vma.c:19:28: warning: symbol 'vdso_enabled' was not declared. Should it be static?

d951734654 x86, mm: rename TASK_SIZE64 => TASK_SIZE_MAX
Impact: cleanup

Rename TASK_SIZE64 to TASK_SIZE_MAX, and provide the
define on 32-bit too. (mapped to TASK_SIZE)

This allows 32-bit code to make use of the (former-) TASK_SIZE64
symbol as well, in a clean way.

fc5243d98a [S390] arch_setup_additional_pages arguments
arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary
format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable
stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could
be removed without replacement.

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

369c99205f x86: fix two modpost warnings
Even though it's only the difference of the two __initdata symbols
that's being calculated, modpost still doesn't like this. So rather
calculate the size once in an __init function and store it for later
use.

7f3646aa16 x86 vDSO: use vdso-syms.lds
This patch changes the kernel's references to addresses in the vDSO image
to be based on the symbols defined by vdso-syms.lds instead of the old
vdso-syms.o symbols.  This is all wrapped up in a macro defined by the new
asm-x86/vdso.h header; that's the only place in the kernel source that has
to know the details of the scheme for getting vDSO symbol values.
