[ Upstream commit 4949009eb8d40a441dcddcd96e101e77d31cf1b2 ]

LCD driver is always built for the XTFPGA platform, but its base address
is not configurable, and is wrong for ML605/KC705. Its initialization
locks up KC705 board hardware.

Make the whole driver optional, and its base address and bus width
configurable. Implement 4-bit bus access method.

[ Upstream commit 24e94454c8cb6a13634f5a2f5a01da53a546a58d ]

- don't lock lp-&gt;lock in the iss_net_timer for the call of iss_net_poll,
  it will lock it itself;
- invert order of lp-&gt;lock and opened_lock acquisition in the
  iss_net_open to make it consistent with iss_net_poll;
- replace spin_lock with spin_lock_bh when acquiring locks used in
  iss_net_timer from non-atomic context;
- replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock_bh in the iss_net_start_xmit
  as the driver doesn't use lp-&gt;lock in the hard IRQ context;
- replace __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(lp.lock) with spin_lock_init, otherwise
  lockdep is unhappy about using non-static key.

<title>xtensa: provide __NR_sync_file_range2 instead of __NR_sync_file_range</title>

[ Upstream commit 01e84c70fe40c8111f960987bcf7f931842e6d07 ]

xtensa actually uses sync_file_range2 implementation, so it should
define __NR_sync_file_range2 as other architectures that use that
function. That fixes userspace interface (that apparently never worked)
and avoids special-casing xtensa in libc implementations.
See the thread ending at

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<id>da7f8de9647a8401c36e0bff69dfa58b066a4c47</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

Userspace actually passes single parameter (path name) to the umount
syscall, so new umount just fails. Fix it by requesting old umount
syscall implementation and re-wiring umount to it.
