Kirill Korotaev 3a45975681 [PATCH] IA64,sparc: local DoS with corrupted ELFs
This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash.  They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,
but not for the kernel internal calls generated by executable loading.

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).

Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore
the new cross-region check, since the mmap() code will just notice on
its own when the macro isn't defined.

David S. Miller 47f2c3604f [SPARC64]: Fix X server hangs due to large pages.
This problem was introduced by changeset
14778d9072

Unlike the hugetlb code paths, the normal fault code is not setup to
propagate PTE changes for large page sizes correctly like the ones we
make for I/O mappings in io_remap_pfn_range().

It is absolutely necessary to update all sub-ptes of a largepage
mapping on a fault.  Adding special handling for this would add
considerably complexity to tlb_batch_add().  So let's just side-step
the issue and forcefully dirty any writable PTEs created by
io_remap_pfn_range().

The only other real option would be to disable to large PTE code of
io_remap_pfn_range() and we really don't want to do that.

Much thanks to Mikael Pettersson for tracking down this problem and
testing debug patches.

David S. Miller 46ba6d7d8b [SPARC64]: Fix more of_device layer IRQ bugs, and correct PROMREG_MAX.
Sabre and Psycho PCI controllers can have partial interrupt-map
properties, meaning that on-board devices don't match up to any
entries.  Instead, they are fully specified from the beginning and
we should pass them directly to the IRQ translator as-is.

Also, fill in the necessary translator slots for the "graphics"
and "expansion UPA" interrupts on Sabre, Psycho, and SYSIO SBUS.

Increase PROMREG_MAX to 24, as seen on SUNW,ffb devices.

Finally, prevent accidentally writing past the end of the of_device
struct resource[] and irqs[] arrays.  Spit out a log message when
we ignore some entries because there are too many of them.

David S. Miller a83f982313 [SPARC]: Fix OF register translations under sub-PCI busses.
There is an implicit assumption in the code that ranges will translate
to something that can fit in 2 32-bit cells, or a 64-bit value.  For
certain kinds of things below PCI this isn't necessarily true.

Here is what the relevant OF device hierarchy looks like for one of
the serial controllers on an Ultra5:

    Node 0xf005f1e0
        ranges:      00000000.00000000.00000000.000001fe.01000000.00000000.01000000
                     01000000.00000000.00000000.000001fe.02000000.00000000.01000000
                     02000000.00000000.00000000.000001ff.00000000.00000001.00000000
                     03000000.00000000.00000000.000001ff.00000000.00000001.00000000
        device_type:  'pci'
        model:  'SUNW,sabre'

        Node 0xf005f9d4
            device_type:  'pci'
            model:  'SUNW,simba'

           Node 0xf0060d24
                ranges:  00000010.00000000 82010810.00000000.f0000000 01000000
			 00000014.00000000 82010814.00000000.f1000000 00800000
                name:  'ebus'

                Node 0xf0062dac
                    reg:  00000014.003083f8.00000008 --> 0x1ff.f13083f8
                    device_type:  'serial'
                    name:  'su'

So the correct translation here is:

1) Match "su" register to second ranges entry of 'ebus', which translates
   into a PCI triplet "82010814.00000000.f1000000" of size 00800000, which
   gives us "82010814.00000000.f13083f8".

2) Pass-through "SUNW,simba" since it lacks ranges property

3) Match "82010814.00000000.f13083f8" to third ranges property of PCI
   controller node 'SUNW,sabre', and we arrive at the final physical
   MMIO address of "0x1fff13083f8".

Due to the 2-cell assumption, we couldn't translate to a PCI 3-cell
value, and we couldn't perform a pass-thru on it either.

It was easiest to just stop splitting the ranges application operation
between two methods, ->map and ->translate, and just let ->map do all
the work.  That way it would work purely on 32-bit cell arrays instead
of having to "return" some value like a u64.

It's still not %100 correct because the out-of-range check is still
done using the 64 least significant bits of the range and address.
But it does work for all the cases I've thrown at it so far.

Christoph Hellwig 289fbc21ea [PATCH] disallow modular binfmt_elf32
Currently most architectures either always build binfmt_elf32 in the kernel
image or make it a boolean option.  Only sparc64 and s390 allow to build it
modularly.  This patch turns the option into a boolean aswell because elf
requires various symbols that shouldn't be available to modules.  The most
urgent one is tasklist_lock whos export this patch series kills, but there
are others like force_sgi aswell.

Note that sparc doesn't allow a modular 32bit a.out handler either, and
that would be the more useful case as only few people want 32bit sunos
compatibility and 99.9% of all sparc64 users need 32bit linux native elf
support.

Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter
named NR_FILE_PAGES.

Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off.
We can therefore use the __ variant here.

David S. Miller 2b1e597871 [SPARC64]: of_device layer IRQ resolution
Do IRQ determination generically by parsing the PROM properties,
and using IRQ controller drivers for final resolution.

One immediate positive effect is that all of the IRQ frobbing
in the EBUS, ISA, and PCI controller layers has been eliminated.
We just look up the of_device and use the properly computed
value.

The PCI controller irq_build() routines are gone and no longer
used.  Unfortunately sbus_build_irq() has to remain as there is
a direct reference to this in the sunzilog driver.  That can be
killed off once the sparc32 side of this is written and the
sunzilog driver is transformed into an "of" bus driver.

Ingo Molnar a53da52fd7 [PATCH] genirq: cleanup: merge irq_affinity[] into irq_desc[]
Consolidation: remove the irq_affinity[NR_IRQS] array and move it into the
irq_desc[NR_IRQS].affinity field.

Ingo Molnar d1bef4ed5f [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chip
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.

While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.

The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.

This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.

As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.

The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.

We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.

This patch:

rename desc->handler to desc->chip.

Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch.  But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.

I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.

So lets get over with this quickly.  The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.

This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

Randy Dunlap c9cf55285e [PATCH] add poison.h and patch primary users
Localize poison values into one header file for better documentation and
easier/quicker debugging and so that the same values won't be used for
multiple purposes.

Use these constants in core arch., mm, driver, and fs code.
