Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval
conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same
results.Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs
in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files
in a sparate patch.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes]

sys32_pause is a useless copy of the generic sys_pause.

Most noteable part of this commit is the new local header file entry.h
which contains all the function declarations of functions that get only
called from asm code or are arch internal. That way we can avoid extern
declarations in C files.
This is more or less the same that was done for sparc64.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
(storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
data addresses.
The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
list).
Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
behind the signal stack frame.This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
for user space.
After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
page tables need to be walked manually.Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer

This patch is based on work by Carlos O'Donell and Matthew Wilcox. It
introduces/updates the compat_time_t type and uses it for compat siginfo
structures. I have built this on ppc64 and x86_64.Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
