ARM: 7735/2: Preserve the user r/w register TPIDRURW on context switch and fork

Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to
prevent it from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.

There are more and more applications coming to Windows RT,
Wine could support them, but mostly they expect to have
the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.

This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

ARM: poison the vectors page

Fill the empty regions of the vectors page with an exception generating
instruction.  This ensures that any inappropriate branch to the vector
page is appropriately trapped, rather than just encountering some code
to execute.  (The vectors page was filled with zero before, which
corresponds with the "andeq r0, r0, r0" instruction - a no-op.)

ARM: move vector stubs

Move the machine vector stubs into the page above the vector page,
which we can prevent from being visible to userspace.  Also move
the reset stub, and place the swi vector at a location that the
'ldr' can get to it.

This hides pointers into the kernel which could give valuable
information to attackers, and reduces the number of exploitable
instructions at a fixed address.

ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs

Use linker magic to create the vectors and vector stubs: we can tell the
linker to place them at an appropriate VMA, but keep the LMA within the
kernel.  This gets rid of some unnecessary symbol manipulation, and
have the linker calculate the relocations appropriately.

ARM: fiq: change FIQ_START to a variable

The commit a2be01b (ARM: only include mach/irqs.h for !SPARSE_IRQ)
makes mach/irqs.h only be included for !SPARSE_IRQ build.  There are
a nubmer of platforms have FIQ_START defined in mach/irqs.h for FIQ
support.

  arch/arm/mach-rpc/include/mach/irqs.h:#define FIQ_START         64
  arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/include/mach/irqs.h:#define FIQ_START             IRQ_EINT0
  arch/arm/plat-mxc/include/mach/irqs.h:#define FIQ_START 0

If SPARSE_IRQ is enabled for any of these platforms, the following
compile error will be seen.

  arch/arm/kernel/fiq.c: In function ‘enable_fiq’:
  arch/arm/kernel/fiq.c:127:19: error: ‘FIQ_START’ undeclared (first use in this function)
  arch/arm/kernel/fiq.c:127:19: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
  arch/arm/kernel/fiq.c: In function ‘disable_fiq’:
  arch/arm/kernel/fiq.c:132:20: error: ‘FIQ_START’ undeclared (first use in this function)

The patch changes fiq code to have init_FIQ take FIQ_START from
platforms as a parameter and assign it to variable fiq_start which
is to replace FIQ_START uses in enable_fiq/disable_fiq.

ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the vector page

Provide a kernel configuration option to allow the kernel user helpers
to be removed from the vector page, thereby preventing their use with
ROP (return orientated programming) attacks.  This option is only
visible for CPU architectures which natively support all the operations
which kernel user helpers would normally provide, and must be enabled
with caution.

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in
the vectors page.  This allows us to place them randomly within this
page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace
further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks.  The new
VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page.

This doesn't show up unless you do quite a bit of testing; a simple
boot test does not do this, so all my nightly tests were passing fine.

The reason for this is that install_special_mapping() expects the
page array to stick around, and as this was only inserting one page
which was stored on the kernel stack, that's why this was blowing up.
