b5cdb5797d [PATCH] uml: make UML_SETJMP always safe
If enable is moved by GCC in a register its value may not be preserved after
coming back there with longjmp().  So, mark it as volatile to prevent this;
this is suggested (it seems) in info gcc, when it talks about -Wuninitialized.
 I re-read this and it seems to say something different, but I still believe
this may be needed.

13c06be399 [PATCH] uml: Use klibc setjmp/longjmp
This patch adds an implementation of setjmp and longjmp to UML, allowing
access to the inside of a jmpbuf without needing the access macros formerly
provided by libc.

The implementation is stolen from klibc.  I copy the relevant files into
arch/um.  I have another patch which avoids the copying, but requires klibc be
in the tree.

setjmp and longjmp users required some tweaking.  Includes of <setjmp.h> were
removed and includes of the UML longjmp.h were added where necessary.  There
are also replacements of siglongjmp with UML_LONGJMP which I somehow missed
earlier.

a5df0d1a2c [PATCH] uml: tidy longjmp macro
The UML_SETJMP macro was requiring its users to pass in a argument which it
could supply itself, since it wasn't used outside that invocation of the
macro.

ad28e02978 [PATCH] uml: change sigjmp_buf to jmp_buf
Clean up the jmpbuf code.  Since softints, we no longer use sig_setjmp, so
the UML_SIGSETJMP wrapper now has a misleading name.  Also, I forgot to
change the buffers from sigjmp_buf to jmp_buf.

c83d4635ee [PATCH] uml: use setjmp/longjmp instead of sigsetjmp/siglongjmp
Now that we are doing soft interrupts, there's no point in using sigsetjmp and
siglongjmp.  Using setjmp and longjmp saves a sigprocmask on every jump.

1d7173baf2 [PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts
This patch implements soft interrupts.  Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask.  Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled.  If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally.  If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling.  When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.

The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling.  Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.

Subtleties -

    UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts.  sigsetjmp has been
    wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
    setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.

    The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
    disables interrupts before returning.  enable_signals has to return with
    signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
    return to enable_signals.  So, it loops for as long as there are pending
    signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
    that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.
