[ Upstream commit 09cc900632400079619e9154604fd299c2cc9a5a ]

Instead of open-coding it everywhere introduce a tiny helper that can be
used to iterate over each resource of a PCI device, and convert the most
obvious users into it.

While at it drop doubled empty line before pdev_sort_resources().

No functional changes intended.

<title>arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c</title>

[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Richard Henderson &lt;richard.henderson@linaro.org&gt; writes[1]:

&gt; There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran
&gt; twice as fast with 32-bit pointers.
&gt;
&gt; I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work
&gt; to allow the toolchain to take advantage.
&gt;
&gt; Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a
&gt; 32-bit address space, specifically because of this.
&gt;
&gt; I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would
&gt; notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users.

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation.  In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.

Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.

As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set.  Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

commit 120931db07b49252aba2073096b595482d71857c upstream.

The UIP timeout is hardcoded to 10ms for all RTC reads, but in some
contexts this might not be enough time. Add a timeout parameter to
mc146818_get_time() and mc146818_get_time_callback().

If UIP timeout is configured by caller to be &gt;=100 ms and a call
takes this long, log a warning.

Make all callers use 10ms to ensure no functional changes.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text

Commit c5a130325f13 ("ACPI/APEI: Add parameter check before error

be removed.

This fixes the modpost warning in ARCH=alpha builds:

<title>alpha: fix R_ALPHA_LITERAL reloc for large modules</title>

<id>69c74104b0e92eeb41186ccc41fc9ed9de923232</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b6b17a8b3ecd878d98d5472a9023ede9e669ca72 ]

Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel
modules.

This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's
module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it
was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While
this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach
would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer
would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of
range.

This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the
global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made
in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the
assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got,
although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the
kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of
them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single
GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.

[ Upstream commit b6b17a8b3ecd878d98d5472a9023ede9e669ca72 ]

Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel
modules.

This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's
module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it
was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While
this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach
would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer
would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of
range.

This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the
global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made
in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the
assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got,
although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the
kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of
them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single
GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.

commit 977a3009547dad4a5bc95d91be4a58c9f7eedac0 upstream.

Type 3 instruction fault (FPU insn with FPU disabled) is handled
by quietly enabling FPU and returning.  Which is fine, except that
we need to do that both for fault in userland and in the kernel;
the latter *can* legitimately happen - all it takes is this:

.global _start
_start:
        call_pal 0xae
	lda $0, 0
	ldq $0, 0($0)

- call_pal CLRFEN to clear "FPU enabled" flag and arrange for
a signal delivery (SIGSEGV in this case).

Fixed by moving the handling of type 3 into the common part of
do_entIF(), before we check for kernel vs. user mode.

Incidentally, the check for kernel mode is unidiomatic; the normal
way to do that is !user_mode(regs).  The difference is that
the open-coded variant treats any of bits 63..3 of regs-&gt;ps being
set as "it's user mode" while the normal approach is to check just
the bit 3.  PS is a 4-bit register and regs-&gt;ps always will have
bits 63..4 clear, so the open-coded variant here is actually equivalent
to !user_mode(regs).  Harder to follow, though...

[ Upstream commit f7b2431a6d22f7a91c567708e071dfcd6d66db14 ]

We only want to take the slow path if SYSCALL_TRACE or SYSCALL_AUDIT is
set; on !AUDIT_SYSCALL configs the current tree hits it whenever _any_
thread flag (including NEED_RESCHED, NOTIFY_SIGNAL, etc.) happens to
be set.
