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: make vectors page inaccessible from userspace

result, it was never noticed that the code had major flaws. Fix
the code to actually work as intended.

mm: Retry original migrate type if CMA failed

Currently, __rmqueue_cma will disregard the original migrate type
and only try MIGRATE_CMA for allocations. If the MIGRATE_CMA
allocation fails, the fallback types of the original migrate type
are used. Note that in this current path we never try to actually
allocate from the original migrate type. If the only pages left
in the system are the original migrate type, we will fail the
allocation since we never actually try the original migrate type.
This may lead to infinite looping since the system still (correctly)
calculates there are pages available for allocation and will keep
trying to allocate pages. Fix this degenerate case by allocating
from the original migrate type if the MIGRATE_CMA allocation fails.

ALSA: core: Fix crash by avoiding appl_ptr crossing 32-bit boundary

Incase of A2DP usecase using proxy driver, appl_ptr has
boundary value as 0x60000000 frames in sw_params for stereo(2 channels).
When this value crosses 0x40000000, then userspace calculating
appl_ptr at bytes results in crossing 32-bit value 0x100000000,
and points to 0x0 offset which can result in crash or pop.
To avoid above scenario, set the sw_params appl_ptr boundary value
within 0x40000000. Added proper check at sw_params update
to set this value correctly within 32-bit boundary(frames).

- In USB mixer while calculating the dBmin/dBmax values
  resolution factor is hardcoded to 256 which results in
  populating the wrong values for dBmin/dBmax.

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.

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.)
