The context introduced by MSA needs to be saved around signals. However,
we can't increase the size of struct sigcontext because that will change
the offset of the signal mask in struct sigframe or struct ucontext.
This patch instead places the new context immediately after the struct
sigframe for traditional signals, or similarly after struct ucontext for
RT signals. The layout of struct sigframe & struct ucontext is identical
from their sigcontext fields onwards, so the offset from the sigcontext
to the extended context will always be the same regardless of the type
of signal.
Userland will be able to search through the extended context by using
the magic values to detect which types of context are present. Any
unrecognised context can be skipped over using the size field of struct
extcontext. Once the magic value END_EXTCONTEXT_MAGIC is seen it is
known that there are no further extended context structures to examine.
This approach is somewhat similar to that taken by ARM to save VFP &
other context at the end of struct ucontext.
Userland can determine whether extended context is present by checking
for the USED_EXTCONTEXT bit in the sc_used_math field of struct
sigcontext. Whilst this could potentially change the historic semantics
of sc_used_math if further extended context which does not imply FP
context were to be introduced in the future, I have been unable to find
any userland code making use of sc_used_math at all. Using one of the
fields described as unused in struct sigcontext was considered, but the
kernel does not already write to those fields so there would be no
guarantee of the field being clear on older kernels. Other alternatives
would be to have userland check the kernel version, or to have a HWCAP
bit indicating presence of extended context. However there is a desire
to have the context & information required to decode it be self
contained such that, for example, debuggers could decode the saved
context easily.

Commit 2ae416b142 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.
As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.
The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

The following instructions have been removed from MIPS R6
ulw, ulh, swl, lwr, lwl, swr.
However, all of them are used in the MIPS specific checksum implementation.
As a result of which, we will use the generic checksum on MIPS R6

As there are now no remaining users of arch_fast_hash(), lets kill
it entirely.
This basically reverts commit 71ae8aac3e ("lib: introduce arch
optimized hash library") and follow-up work, that is f.e., commit
237217546d ("lib: hash: follow-up fixups for arch hash"),
commit e3fec2f74f ("lib: Add missing arch generic-y entries for
asm-generic/hash.h") and last but not least commit 6a02652df5
("perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures").

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the MIPS pull request for the next kernel:
- Zubair's patch series adds CMA support for MIPS. Doing so it also
touches ARM64 and x86.
- remove the last instance of IRQF_DISABLED from arch/mips
- updates to two of the MIPS defconfig files.
- cleanup of how cache coherency bits are handled on MIPS and
implement support for write-combining.
- platform upgrades for Alchemy
- move MIPS DTS files to arch/mips/boot/dts/"

The nohz full code needs irq work to trigger its own interrupt so that
the subsystem can work even when the tick is stopped.
Lets introduce arch_irq_work_has_interrupt() that archs can override to
tell about their support for this ability.

The struct user definition in this file is not used anywhere (the ELF
core dumper does not use that format). Therefore, remove the header and
instead enable the asm-generic user.h which is an empty header to
satisfy a few generic headers which still try to include user.h.

In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.
Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.
v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:
Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

Place comments in:
arch/mips/include/asm/Kbuild
arch/tile/include/arch/Kbuild
to make them non-empty so that the patch program doesn't remove them when it
reduces them to nothing.
Possibly they should be just deleted, but it's possible that they'll acquire
generic-y or genhdr-y lines in future, so I'm keeping them around for the
moment.
Note that MIPS will compile happily if the file is deleted instead. I haven't
tested TILE, but I suspect it will be the same there.
