As per the comments added by this commit, %g2 turns out to not be a
usable place to save away orig_i0 for syscall restart handling.
In fact all of %g2, %g3, %g4, and %g5 are assumed to be saved across
a system call by various bits of code in glibc.
%g1 can't be used because that holds the syscall number, which would
need to be saved and restored for syscall restart handling too, and
that would only compound our problems :-)
This leaves us with %g6 and %g7 which are for "system use". %g7 is
used as the "thread register" by glibc, but %g6 is used as a compiler
and assembler temporary scratch register. And in no instance is %g6
used to hold a value across a system call.
Therefore %g6 is safe for storing away orig_i0, at least for now.

Although we provide a proper way for a debugger to control whether
syscall restart occurs, we run into problems because orig_i0 is not
saved and restored properly.
Luckily we can solve this problem without having to make debuggers
aware of the issue. Across system calls, several registers are
considered volatile and can be safely clobbered.
Therefore we use the pt_regs save area of one of those registers, %g2,
as a place to save and restore orig_i0.
Debuggers transparently will do the right thing because they save and
restore this register already.

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
is pending in the shared queue.

If we can't push the pending register windows onto the user's stack,
we disallow signal delivery even if the signal would be delivered on a
valid seperate signal stack.
Add a register window save area in the signal frame, and store any
unsavable windows there.
On sigreturn, if any windows are still queued up in the signal frame,
try to push them back onto the stack and if that fails we kill the
process immediately.
This allows the debug/tst-longjmp_chk2 glibc test case to pass.

Explicitly clear the "in-syscall" bit when we have no signal
handler and back up the program counters to back up the system
call.

Don't invoke the signal handler tracehook in that situation
either.

If another cpu does a very wide munmap() on the signal frame area,
it can tear down the page table hierarchy from underneath us.
Borrow an idea from the 64-bit fault path's get_user_insn(), and
disable cross call interrupts during the page table traversal
to lock them in place while we operate.

This is mandatory for 64-bit processes, and doing it also for 32-bit
processes saves a conditional in the compat case.
This fixes the glibc/nptl/tst-stdio1 test case, as well
as many others, on 64-bit.

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files
NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.
