Add audit_log_type to allow callers to specify type and pid when logging.
Convert audit_log to wrapper around audit_log_type. Could have
converted all audit_log callers directly, but common case is default
of type AUDIT_KERNEL and pid 0. Update audit_log_start to take type
and pid values when creating a new audit_buffer. Move sequences that
did audit_log_start, audit_log_format, audit_set_type, audit_log_end,
to simply call audit_log_type directly. This obsoletes audit_set_type
and audit_set_pid, so remove them.

shutdown credential information. It creates a new message type
AUDIT_TERM_INFO, which is used by the audit daemon to query who issued the
shutdown.
It requires the placement of a hook function that gathers the information. The
hook is after the DAC & MAC checks and before the function returns. Racing
threads could overwrite the uid & pid - but they would have to be root and
have policy that allows signalling the audit daemon. That should be a
manageable risk.
The userspace component will be released later in audit 0.7.2. When it
receives the TERM signal, it queries the kernel for shutdown information.
When it receives it, it writes the message and exits. The message looks
like this:
type=DAEMON msg=auditd(1114551182.000) auditd normal halt, sending pid=2650
uid=525, auditd pid=1685

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers. It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18. That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.
This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.
Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.
No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.
Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.

This patch removes the arch-specific fault/trap-infos from thread and
skas-regs.
It adds a new struct faultinfo, that is arch-specific defined in
sysdep/faultinfo.h.
The structure is inserted in thread.arch and thread.regs.skas and
thread.regs.tt
Now, segv and other trap-handlers can copy the contents from regs.X.faultinfo
to thread.arch.faultinfo with one simple assignment.
Also, the number of macros necessary is reduced to
FAULT_ADDRESS(struct faultinfo)
extracts the faulting address from faultinfo
FAULT_WRITE(struct faultinfo)
extracts the "is_write" flag
SEGV_IS_FIXABLE(struct faultinfo)
is true for the fixable segvs, i.e. (TRAP == 14)
on i386
UPT_FAULTINFO(regs)
result is (struct faultinfo *) to the faultinfo
in regs->skas.faultinfo
GET_FAULTINFO_FROM_SC(struct faultinfo, struct sigcontext *)
copies the relevant parts of the sigcontext to
struct faultinfo.
On SIGSEGV, call user_signal() instead of handle_segv(), if the architecture
provides the information needed in PTRACE_FAULTINFO, or if PTRACE_FAULTINFO is
missing, because segv-stub will provide the info.
The benefit of the change is, that in case of a non-fixable SIGSEGV, we can
give user processes a SIGSEGV, instead of possibly looping on pagefault
handling.
Since handle_segv() sikked arch_fixup() implicitly by passing ip==0 to segv(),
I changed segv() to call arch_fixup() only, if !is_user.

These are some trivial fixes for the x86-64 subarch module support. The only
potential problem is that I have to modify arch/x86_64/kernel/module.c, to
avoid copying the whole of it.
I can't use it verbatim because it depends on a special vmalloc-like area for
modules, which for now (maybe that's to fix, I guess not) UML/x86-64 has not.
I went the easy way and reused the i386 vmalloc()-based allocator.

This patch started as simply removing a few never-used macros from
asm-ppc64/pgtable.h, then kind of grew. It now makes a bunch of
cleanups to the ppc64 low-level header files (with corresponding
changes to .c files where necessary) such as:
- Abolishing never-used macros
- Eliminating multiple #defines with the same purpose
- Removing pointless macros (cases where just expanding the
macro everywhere turns out clearer and more sensible)
- Removing some cases where macros which could be defined in
terms of each other weren't
- Moving imalloc() related definitions from pgtable.h to their
own header file (imalloc.h)
- Re-arranging headers to group things more logically
- Moving all VSID allocation related things to mmu.h, instead
of being split between mmu.h and mmu_context.h
- Removing some reserved space for flags from the PMD - we're
not using it.
- Fix some bugs which broke compile with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.
This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.
