Russell King f6e3354d02 ARM: pgtable: introduce pteval_t to represent a pte value
This makes everywhere dealing with pte values use the same type.

Russell King f00a75c094 ARM: Pass VMA to copy_user_highpage() implementations
Our copy_user_highpage() implementations may require cache maintainence.
Ensure that implementations have all necessary details to perform this
maintainence.

Russell King b7cfda9fc3 ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memory
On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory
between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole
in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned.  However,
they want to be able to mmap() the hole.

This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that
there are valid struct pages for the "hole".  Fix this by making
pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is
contained within the meminfo array.

Linus Walleij f6430a938d [ARM] 5565/2: Use PAGE_SIZE and RO_DATA() in link script
Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard-
coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated
for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE
was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric
constants.

Arnd Bergmann 5b17e1cd89 asm-generic: rename page.h and uaccess.h
The current asm-generic/page.h only contains the get_order
function, and asm-generic/uaccess.h only implements
unaligned accesses. This renames the file to getorder.h
and uaccess-unaligned.h to make room for new page.h
and uaccess.h file that will be usable by all simple
(e.g. nommu) architectures.

Russell King 303c644365 [ARM] clearpage: provide our own clear_user_highpage()
For similar reasons as copy_user_page(), we want to avoid the
additional kmap_atomic if it's unnecessary.

Russell King 063b0a4207 [ARM] copypage: provide our own copy_user_highpage()
We used to override the copy_user_page() function.  However, this
is not only inefficient, it also causes additional complexity for
highmem support, since we convert from a struct page to a kernel
direct mapped address and back to a struct page again.

Moreover, with highmem support, we end up pointlessly setting up
kmap entries for pages which we're going to remap.  So, push the
kmapping down into the copypage implementation files where it's
required.

Russell King 59f0cb0fdd [ARM] remove memzero()
As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

Russell King 8ec53663d2 [ARM] Improve non-executable support
Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas.  Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.
