The str*_user functions are used to securely access NULL terminated
strings from userland. Therefore, it's necessary to use the appropriate
EVA function. However, if the string is in kernel space, then the normal
instructions are being used to access it. The __str*_kernel_asm and
__str*_user_asm symbols are the same for non-EVA mode so there is no
functional change for the non-EVA kernels.

Use the EVA specific functions from memcpy.S to perform
userspace operations. When get_fs() == get_ds() the usual load/store
instructions are used because the destination address is located in
the kernel address space region. Otherwise, the EVA specifc load/store
instructions are used which will go through th TLB to perform the virtual
to physical translation for the userspace address.

The {get,put}_user_asm functions can be used to load data from
kernel or the user address space so rename them to avoid
confusion.

Use the EVA instruction wrappers from asm.h to perform
read/write operations from userland.

ulb, ulh, ulw are macros which emulate unaligned access for MIPS.
However, no such macros exist for EVA mode, so the only way to do
EVA unaligned accesses is in the ADE exception handler. As a result
of which, disable these macros for EVA.

Similar to __get_user_* functions, move common code to
__put_user_*_common so it can be shared among similar users.

In preparation for EVA support, an instruction argument is needed
for the __get_user_asm{,_ll32} functions to allow instruction overrides in
EVA mode. Even though EVA only works for MIPS 32-bit, both codepaths are
changed (32-bit and 64-bit) for consistency reasons.

Partially revert commit e0c14a260d66ba35935600d6435940a566fe806b
and turn off LL/SC when building a pure microMIPS kernel. This is
a temporary fix until the cmpxchg assembly macro functions are
re-written to not use the HI/LO registers in address calculations.
Also add .insn in selected user access functions which would
otherwise produce ISA mode jump incompatibilities. This is also a
temporary fix.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

We can save the 451 lines of code that comprise memcpy-inatomic.S at the
expense of a single instruction in the memcpy prolog. We also use an
additional register (t6), so this may cause increased register pressure in
some places as well. But I think the reduced maintenance burden, of not
having two nearly identical implementations, makes it worth it.

The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space. Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.
The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.
For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.
__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.
With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

The type of the second argument of access_ok should be (void __user *).
The unnecessary conversion of the clear_user address argument was causing
sparse to emit warnings on the __chk_user_ptr check.
