This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for
the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers
to use the regsets framework.
As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps
at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no
VFP state.
Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated
by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation;
these should be migratable without much extra work.

This patch allows the provided CONFIG_CMDLINE to be concatenated
with the one provided by the boot loader. This is useful to
merge the static values defined in CONFIG_CMDLINE with the
boot loader's (possibly) more dynamic values, such as startup
reasons and more.

This patch uses the load/store exclusive instructions to add SMP futex
support for ARM.
Since the ARM architecture does not provide instructions for
unprivileged exclusive memory accesses, we can only provide SMP futexes
when CPU domain support is disabled.

The ARM kernel supports writethrough data cache via the
CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH option. However, that
functionality wasn't implemented in the arch/arm/boot/compressed
code. It is now necessary due to a new ARM926EJS processor
that has an issue with writeback data cache.

When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not
bound the nsops argument. A sufficiently large value will cause an
integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data
into the allocated buffer. Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM.

The instruction decoding in space_cccc_000x needs to reject probing of
instructions with undefined patterns as they may in future become
defined and then emulated faultily - as has already happened with the
SMC instruction.
This fix is achieved by testing for the instruction patterns we want to
probe and making the the default fall-through paths reject probes. This
also allows us to remove some explicit tests for instructions that we
wish to reject, as that is now the default action.

The PLD instructions wasn't being decoded correctly and the emulation
code wasn't adjusting PC correctly.
As the PLD instruction is only a performance hint we emulate it as a
simple nop, and we can broaden the instruction decoding to take into
account newer PLI and PLDW instructions.

The emulation of SETEND was broken as it changed the endianess for
the running kprobes handling code. Rather than adding a new simulation
routine to fix this we'll just reject probing of SETEND as these should
be very rare in the kernel.
Note, the function emulate_none is now unused but it is left in the
source code as future patches will use it.

The kernel doesn't currently support VFP or Neon code, and probing of
code with CP15 operations is fraught with bad consequences. Therefore we
don't need the ability to probe coprocessor instructions and the code to
support this can be removed.
The removed code also had at least two bugs:
- MRC into R15 should set CPSR not trash PC
- LDC and STC which use PC as base register needed the address offset by 8

The decoding of these instructions got the register indexed and
immediate indexed forms the wrong way around, causing incorrect
emulation.
Instructions like "LDRD Rx, [Rx]" were corrupting Rx because the base
register writeback was being performed unconditionally, overwriting the
value just loaded from memory. The fix is to only writeback the base
register when that form of the instruction is used. Note, now that we
reject probing writeback with PC the emulation code doesn't need the
check rn!=15.

The emulation code for STREX and LDREX instructions is faulty, however,
rather than attempting to fix this we reject probes of these
instructions. We do this because they can never succeed in gaining
exclusive access as the exception framework clears the exclusivity
monitor when a probes breakpoint is hit. (This is a general problem
when probing all instructions executing between a LDREX and its
corresponding STREX and can lead to infinite retry loops.)
