e03b526932 [MIPS] Fixup copy_from_user_inatomic
From the 01408c4939 log message:

The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source
address is not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the*
*destination*.

This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd
thing to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or
what was there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a
reasonable thing to see).

If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't
cause an error.

The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing
so causes the problem.  It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than
copy_from_user so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic
to *not* zero out bytes on failure.

This patch finally implements at least a not so pretty solution by
duplicating the relevant part of __copy_user.

6f3aa38e19 [MIPS] Remove stray instruction from __get_user_asm_ll32.
This did result in double clearing of the error return value on success
only but should make a meassurable overhead for sigreturn.

8ecbbcaf08 [MIPS] Fixes for uaccess.h with gcc >= 4.0.1
It seems current get_user() incorrectly sign-extend an unsigned int
value on 64bit kernel.  I think this is because '(__typeof__(val))'
cast in final assignment.  I suppose the cast should be
'(__typeof__(*(addr))'.

3218357c94 [MIPS] More uaccess.h fixes with gcc >= 4.0.1.
From Richard Sandiford <richard@codesourcery.com>:
    
This patch caused a miscompilation of the restore_gp_regs() block
in restore_sigcontext().  This was in a 32-bit kernel compiled with
GCC CVS head.
    
restore_gp_regs() copies 64-bit user fields into 32-bit variables,
and in this combination, the new __get_user_asm_ll32() clobbers too
many registers.  It says:
    
/*
 * Get a long long 64 using 32 bit registers.
 */
{									\
	__asm__ __volatile__(						\
	"1:	lw	%1, (%3)				\n"	\
	"2:	lw	%D1, 4(%3)				\n"	\
	"	move	%0, $0					\n"	\
	"3:	.section	.fixup,\"ax\"			\n"	\
	"4:	li	%0, %4					\n"	\
	"	move	%1, $0					\n"	\
	"	move	%D1, $0					\n"	\
	"	j	3b					\n"	\
	"	.previous					\n"	\
	"	.section	__ex_table,\"a\"		\n"	\
	"	" __UA_ADDR "	1b, 4b				\n"	\
	"	" __UA_ADDR "	2b, 4b				\n"	\
	"	.previous					\n"	\
	: "=r" (__gu_err), "=&r" (val)					\
	: "0" (0), "r" (addr), "i" (-EFAULT));				\
}

and this requires val (%1) to be a 64-bit value.  In the case I saw,
gcc was using $3 for the 32-bit val, and wasn't expecting $4 to be
clobbered.

27c7c1657d Drop might_sleep() calls from get_user() & co. This should fix the issue
in http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=200508171321.20094.Joshua.Wise%40sicortex.com and it's the right thing to do anyway because
it was inflating those functions way too much.

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!
