A patch to fix some unreachable code in search_my_process_keyrings() got
applied twice by two different routes upstream as commits e67eab39bee2
and b010520ab3d2 (both "fix unreachable code").
Unfortunately, the second application removed something it shouldn't
have and this wasn't detected by GIT. This is due to the patch not
having sufficient lines of context to distinguish the two places of
application.
The effect of this is relatively minor: inside the kernel, the keyring
search routines may search multiple keyrings and then prioritise the
errors if no keys or negative keys are found in any of them. With the
extra deletion, the presence of a negative key in the thread keyring
(causing ENOKEY) is incorrectly overridden by an error searching the
process keyring.
So revert the second application of the patch.

Commit 99fc86450c439039d2ef88d06b222fd51a779176 "ALSA: usb-mixer:
parse descriptors with structs" introduced a set of useful parsers
for descriptors. Unfortunately the parses for the Processing Unit
Descriptor came with a very subtle bug...
Functions uac_processing_unit_iProcessing() and
uac_processing_unit_specific() were indexing the baSourceID array
forgetting the fields before the iProcessing and process-specific
descriptors.
The problem was observed with Sound Blaster Extigy mixer,
where nNrModes in Up/Down-mix Processing Unit Descriptor
was accessed at offset 10 of the descriptor (value 0)
instead of offset 15 (value 7). In result the resulting
control had interesting limit values:
Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: 0 - -1
Mono: -1 [100%]
Fixed by starting from the bmControls, which was calculated
correctly, instead of baSourceID.
Now the mentioned control is fine:
Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: 0 - 6
Mono: 0 [0%]

Process personality is stored together with other flags like UNAME26 in
an integer variable. Overwriting this value with PER_LINUX drops all
other existing flags and as such broke tools like the uname26 tool.
Actually this was only broken on 32bit kernels, since for 32bit-ELF
binaries on 64-bit kernels the SET_PERSONALITY macro from
arch/parisc/kernel/binfmt_elf32.c is used which does not modifies the
personality value at all (which is wrong as long as we don't run HPUX
binaries or similiar).

1) PTRACE_SYSCALL doesn't work for 64bit process on parisc64.
Compat syscall table is used instead of 64bit one. IMO we should either
refuse to allow PTRACE_SYSCALL for 64bit processes or duplicate the
logics choosing the right syscall table into .Ltracesys.
2) if you have let the tracee run with PTRACE_SYSCALL and
it had stopped, you can use PTRACE_POKEUSR to modify syscall number
(r20) and arguments 1--4 (r26--r23). Modifications will have effect.
However, modifying arguments 5 and 6 (r22 and r21 resp.) works only
when process (32bit one) runs on 64bit host - on 32bit one it has no
effect. AFAICS, the diff below should fix that one.

People are playing odd games with IRQF_DISABLED, remove it.
Its not reliable, since shared interrupt lines could disable it for you,
and its possible and allowed for archs to disable IRQs to limit IRQ nesting.
Therefore, simply mandate that _ALL_ IRQ handlers are run with IRQs disabled.
[ This _should_ not break anything, since we've mandated that IRQ handlers
_must_ be able to deal with this for a _long_ time ]
IRQ handlers should be fast, no if buts and any other exceptions. We also have
plenty instrumentation to find any offending IRQ latency sources.

CONFIG_PARISC_TMPALIAS enables clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage.
These are essentially alternative implementations of clear_user_page and
copy_user_page. They don't have anything to do with x86 high pages, but they
build on the infrastructure to save a few instructions. Read the comment in
clear_user_highpage as it is very important to the implementation. For this
reason, there isn't any gain in using the TMPALIAS/highpage approach.

flush_cache_mm, for the non current case also uses flush_dcache_page_asm
and flush_icache_page_asm which are TMPALIAS flushes.
For the non current case, the algorithm used by get_ptep is derived from the
vmalloc_to_page implementation in vmalloc.c. It is essentially a generic page
table lookup. The other alternative was to duplicate the lookup in entry.S.
The break point for switching to a full cache flush is somewhat arbitrary. The
same approach is used in flush_cache_range for non current case. In a GCC
build and check, many small programs are executed and this change provided a
significant performance enhancement, e.g. GCC build time was cut almost in half
on a rp3440 at j4. Previously, we always flushed the entire cache.

Implement clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to
clear and copy a page. I tested prefetch optimizations in clear_page_asm and
copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance improvement on rp3440.
I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly faster than memset and/or
memcpy, but they are there for further performance evaluation.
TLB purge operations on PA 1.X SMP machines are now serialized with the help of
the new tlb_lock() and tlb_unlock() macros, since on some PA-RISC machines, TLB
purges need to be serialized in software. Obviously, lock isn't needed in UP
kernels. On PA 2.0 machines, there is a local TLB instruction which is much
less disruptive to the memory subsystem. No lock is needed for local purge.
Loops are also unrolled in flush_instruction_cache_local and
flush_data_cache_local.
The implementation of what used to be copy_user_page (now copy_user_page_asm)
is now fixed. Additionally 64-bit support is now added. Read the preceding
comment which I didn't change. I left the comment but it is now inaccurate.

(http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/TestCases?highlight=%28minifail%29) which
prevented parisc to stay an official debian port. Basically the flush in
copy_user_page together with the TLB patch from commit
7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 is what fixes the minifail bug.
This patch still uses the TMPALIAS approach. The new copy_user_page
implementation calls flush_dcache_page_asm to flush the user dcache page
(crucial for minifail fix) via a kernel TMPALIAS mapping. After that, it just
copies the page using the kernel mapping. It does a final flush if needed.
Generally it is hard to avoid doing some cache flushes using the kernel mapping
(e.g., copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page).
This patch depends on a subsequent change to pacache.S implementing
clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm. These are optimized routines to clear and
copy a page. The calls in clear_user_page and copy_user_page could be replaced
by calls to memset and memcpy, respectively. I tested prefetch optimizations
in clear_page_asm and copy_page_asm but didn't see any significant performance
improvement on rp3440. I'm not sure if these are routines are significantly
faster than memset and/or memcpy, but they are there for further performance
evaluation.

executables
When building a 64bit kernel which includes all necessary drivers and
filesystems the vmlinux kernel often gets so huge, that the linker won't
be able to resolve the branch stubs. This patch overcomes this limit by
providing an option to compile the kernel with the -mlong-calls compiler
option.

The current Makefile will only choose the hppa64 cross compiler when
running natively on hppa in a 32bit userspace.
This patch additionally chooses the correct 32/64 bit hppa compiler even
when doing real cross compiling to hppa/hppa64 from another architecture.

Introduce a common smp_callin() function to call
from trampoline_32.S.
Add platform specific functions to handle the
platform details.
This is in preparation for a patch that will
unify the smp boot stuff for all architectures.
sparc32 was significantly different to warrant
this patch in preparation.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/parisc-2.6 into stable-3.8
PARISC fixes on 20130213
This is a couple of patches, one to fix a broken build with HPUX compatibility
and the other to solve a coherency problem we've been seeing in our TLB where
setting a page read only occasionally fails to trigger a COW because of a
stale writeable TLB entry.

When we set the sun4u version of the PTE execute bit, it's:
or REG, _PAGE_EXEC_4U, REG
_PAGE_EXEC_4U is 0x1000, unfortunately the immedate field of the
'or' instruction is a signed 13-bit value. So the above actually
assembles into:
or REG, -4096, REG
completely corrupting the final PTE value.
Set it with a:
sethi %hi(_PAGE_EXEC_4U), TMP
or REG, TMP, REG
sequence instead.
This fixes "git gc" crashes on sun4u machines.

Because we do not have any locks for dst_entry, we cannot change
essential structure in the entry; e.g., we cannot change reference
to other entity.
To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry
out of union. Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor,
keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of
the object.
Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple
just for fresh entries.

commit c9af6db4c11ccc6c3e7f1 (net: Fix possible wrong checksum generation)
has a suspicous piece:
- skb_shinfo(skb1)->gso_type = skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_type;
-
+ skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags = skb_shinfo(skb1)->tx_flags & SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG;
skb1 is the new skb, therefore should be on the left side of the assignment.
This patch fixes it.
