x86 ptrace: fix ptrace_bts_config structure declaration
The 2.6.25 ptrace_bts_config structure in asm-x86/ptrace-abi.h
is defined with u32 types:
#include <asm/types.h>
/* configuration/status structure used in PTRACE_BTS_CONFIG and
PTRACE_BTS_STATUS commands.
*/
struct ptrace_bts_config {
/* requested or actual size of BTS buffer in bytes */
u32 size;

u32 flags;
/* buffer overflow signal */
u32 signal;
/* actual size of bts_struct in bytes */
u32 bts_size;
};

But u32 is only accessible in asm-x86/types.h if __KERNEL__,
leading to compile errors when ptrace.h is included from
user-space. The double-underscore versions that are exported
to user-space in asm-x86/types.h should be used instead.

x86: CPA: avoid split of alias mappings
avoid over-eager large page splitup.
When the target area needs to be split or is split already (ioremap)
then the current code enforces the split of large mappings in the alias
regions even if we could avoid it.
Use a separate variable processed in the cpa_data structure to carry
the number of pages which have been processed instead of reusing the
numpages variable. This keeps numpages intact and gives the alias code
a chance to keep large mappings intact.

Priit Laes discovered that the sed command processing nm output was

[a-zA-Z0-9].

x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages
I recently stumbled upon a problem in the support for huge pages. If a
program using huge pages does not explicitly unmap them, they remain
mapped (and therefore, are lost) after the program exits.
I observed that the free huge page count in /proc/meminfo decreased when
running my program, and it did not increase after the program exited.
After running the program a few times, no more huge pages could be
allocated.
The reason for this seems to be that the x86 pmd_bad and pud_bad
consider pmd/pud entries having the PSE bit set invalid. I think there
is nothing wrong with this bit being set, it just indicates that the
lowest level of translation has been reached. This bit has to be (and
is) checked after the basic validity of the entry has been checked, like
in this fragment from follow_page() in mm/memory.c:
if (pmd_none(*pmd) || unlikely(pmd_bad(*pmd)))
goto no_page_table;
Note that this code currently doesn't work as intended if the pmd refers
to a huge page, the pmd_huge() check can not be reached if the page is
huge.
Extending pmd_bad() (and, for future 1GB page support, pud_bad()) to
allow for the PSE bit being set fixes this. For similar reasons,
allowing the NX bit being set is necessary, too. I have seen huge pages
having the NX bit set in their pmd entry, which would cause the same
problem.

Another possibility would be to remove the scope mangling based on
address. This will always be incomplete (are 127/8 the only address
space with host scope requirements?)
We set the scope to RT_SCOPE_HOST if an IPv4 interface is configured
