    [POWERPC] coredump: Add SPU elf notes to coredump. · bf1ab978
    Dwayne Grant McConnell authored
    This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note
    for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1,
    /signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status,
    /mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id.
    
    A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to
    specify they have extra elf core notes.
    
    A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the
    additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry.
    
    A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes
    would be written after the existing notes.
    
    The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the
    kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via
    register_arch_coredump_calls().
    
    A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the
    coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the
    SPU context for each file read from.
