Update the parisc arch_get_unmapped_area function to make use of
vm_unmapped_area() instead of implementing a brute force search.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove now-unused DCACHE_ALIGN(), per James]

fallocate(off_t) gets redirected by glibc to fallocate64(loff_t)
where the 64bit loff_t values get splitted into two 32bit (hi/lo)
values. This patch fixes this syscall for the 32- and 64bit kernel.

This turns out to be correct and we need to pay attention to the pgoff as
well as the address when creating the virtual address for the area.
Fortunately, the bug is rarely triggered as most applications which use pgoff
tend to use large values (git being the primary one, and it uses pgoff in
multiples of 16MB) which are larger than our cache coherency modulus, so the
problem isn't often seen in practise.

Directly comparing task_struct->personality against PER_* is not fully
correct, as it doesn't take flags potentially stored in top three bytes
into account.
Analogically, directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or
PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes.

On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the
reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value. Instead of doing this
separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in
<asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.
It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
no obstacles.

Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.
Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

Handle MAP_FIXED in parisc arch_get_unmapped_area(), just return the address.
We might want to also check for possible cache aliasing issues now that we get
called in that case (like ARM or MIPS), leave a comment for the maintainers to
pick up.

The utsname virtualisation broke parisc_newuname compilation.
Rewrite the implementation to call sys_newuname() like sparc64 does.

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!
