This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.
Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.
It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g. ia64
could benefit.

i386:
Rearrange the cmpxchg code to allow atomic.h to get it without needing to
include system.h. This kills warnings in the UML build from atomic.h about
implicit declarations of cmpxchg symbols. The i386 build presumably isn't
seeing this because a separate inclusion of system.h is covering it over.
The cmpxchg stuff is moved to asm-i386/cmpxchg.h, with an include left in
system.h for the benefit of generic code which expects cmpxchg there.
Meanwhile, atomic.h includes cmpxchg.h.
This causes no noticable damage to the i386 build.
x86_64:
Move cmpxchg into its own header. atomic.h already included system.h, so
this is changed to include cmpxchg.h.
This is purely cleanup - it's not fixing any warnings - so if the x86_64
system.h isn't considered as cleanup-worthy as i386, then this can be
dropped.
It causes no noticable damage to the x86_64 build.
uml:
The i386 and x86_64 cmpxchg patches require an asm-um/cmpxchg.h for the
UML build.

Following similar i386 patch from Linus.
Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.
All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.
Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
tested)

Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:
* alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
* one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
nop'ed out for non-smp.
* two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
* fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.
The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from
compile-time to runtime.

Patch fixes a build problem with CONFIG_X86_VSMP. The vSMP bits probably
gathered some fuzz on its way to mainline, and safe_halt() which was outside
the #endif (CONFIG_X86_VSMP) somehow got inside the !CONFIG_X86_VSMP condition,
hence being undefined and breaking CONFIG_X86_VSMP builds. Patch takes
safe_halt() and halt() macros out of the #endif

As discussed, the flags register on x86-64 is saved and restored by the
assembly code which sets up struct pt_regs, so we do not need to save
and restore it in the inline assembler which already informs gcc that
we're clobbering the flags. This patch has been sanity booted and works
okay here.

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!
