The patch implements the atomic copy_*_user() function.
If the kernel takes a pagefault while running copy_*_user() in an
atomic region, the copy_*_user() will fail (return a short value).
And with this patch, holding an atomic kmap() puts the CPU into an
atomic region.
- Increment preempt_count() in kmap_atomic() regardless of the
setting of CONFIG_PREEMPT. The pagefault handler recognises this as
an atomic region and refuses to service the fault. copy_*_user will
return a non-zero value.
- Attempts to propagate the in_atomic() predicate to all the other
highmem-capable architectures' pagefault handlers. But the code is
only tested on x86.
- Fixed a PPC bug in kunmap_atomic(): it forgot to reenable
preemption if HIGHMEM_DEBUG is turned on.
- Fixed a sparc bug in kunmap_atomic(): it forgot to reenable
preemption all the time, for non-fixmap pages.
- Fix an error in <linux/highmem.h> - in the CONFIG_HIGHMEM=n case,
kunmap_atomic() takes an address, not a page *.
