Nobody used these hooks so they were removed from common code, and can now
be removed from the architectures.

perf walks userspace callchains by following frame pointers. Use the
UREG_FP macro to make it clearer that the %fp is being used.

<id>urn:sha1:b69fb7699c92f85991672fc144b0adb7c717fbc8</id>
<content type='text'>
Processes are getting killed (sigbus or segv) while walking userspace
callchains when using perf. In some instances I have seen ufp = 0x7ff
which does not seem like a proper stack address.

This patch adds a function to run validity checks against the address
before attempting the copy_from_user. The checks are copied from the
x86 version as a start point with the addition of a 4-byte alignment
check.

Pagefault handling has a BUG_ON path that panics the system. Convert it to
a warning instead. There is no need to bring down the system for this kind
of failure.

The following was hit while running:

The segfault is horrible, but better than a system panic.

An 8-cpu VM on a T5-2 also showed the above traces from time to time,
so it is a general problem and not specific to the T7 or baremetal.

Page faults generated walking userspace stacks can call schedule to switch
out the task. When collecting callchains for scheduler tracepoints this
causes a deadlock as the tracepoints can be hit with the runqueue lock held:

Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
recoverable machine check.  Linux has included code for some time to
process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
reading from disk).

But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
execution.  Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
be able to recover.

Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.

Gen1: All memory is mirrored
	Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
	     mirror
	Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications

Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
	Pro: Keep more of the capacity
	Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
	     mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance

Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
      controller
	Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
	Con: I have to write memory management code to implement

The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
This has been broken into two phases:

1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
   allocations

2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
   unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
   select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
   page_alloc.c is scary).

This patch (of 3):

Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
attribute.  No functional changes

We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear.  Add
_huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on
hugepage pte.

We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect,
pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence
indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes
