Helge Deller d96b51ec14 parisc: fix irq stack on UP and SMP
The logic to detect if the irq stack was already in use with
raw_spin_trylock() is wrong, because it will generate a "trylock failure
on UP" error message with CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y.

arch_spin_trylock() can't be used either since in the CONFIG_SMP=n case
no atomic protection is given and we are reentrant here. A mutex didn't
worked either and brings more overhead by turning off interrupts.

So, let's use the fastest path for parisc which is the ldcw instruction.

Counting how often the irq stack was used is pretty useless, so just
drop this piece of code.

John David Anglin b63a2bbc0b parisc: make interrupt and interruption stack allocation reentrant
The get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30 macros allocate a stack
frame for external interrupts and interruptions requiring a stack frame.
They are currently not reentrant in that they save register context
before the stack is set or adjusted.

I have observed a number of system crashes where there was clear
evidence of stack corruption during interrupt processing, and as a
result register corruption. Some interruptions can still occur during
interruption processing, however external interrupts are disabled and
data TLB misses don't occur for absolute accesses. So, it's not entirely
clear what triggers this issue. Also, if an interruption occurs when
Q=0, it is generally not possible to recover as the shadowed registers
are not copied.

The attached patch reworks the get_stack_use_cr30 and get_stack_use_r30
macros to allocate stack before doing register saves. The new code is a
couple of instructions shorter than the old implementation. Thus, it's
an improvement even if it doesn't fully resolve the stack corruption
issue. Based on limited testing, it improves SMP system stability.

Helge Deller 416821d3d6 parisc: implement irq stacks - part 2 (v2)
This patch fixes few build issues which were introduced with the last
irq stack patch, e.g. the combination of stack overflow check and irq
stack.

Furthermore we now do proper locking and change the irq bh handler
to use the irq stack as well.

In /proc/interrupts one now can monitor how huge the irq stack has grown
and how often it was preferred over the kernel stack.

IRQ stacks are now enabled by default just to make sure that we not
overflow the kernel stack by accident.

Helge Deller 200c880420 parisc: implement irq stacks
Default kernel stack size on parisc is 16k.  During tests we found that the
kernel stack can easily grow beyond 13k, which leaves 3k left for irq
processing.

This patch adds the possibility to activate an additional stack of 16k per CPU
which is being used during irq processing.  This implementation does not yet
uses this irq stack for the irq bh handler.

The assembler code for call_on_stack was heavily cleaned up by John
David Anglin.

Helge Deller 9372450cc2 parisc: add kernel stack overflow check
Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to
detect kernel stack overflows.

Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to
introduce too much overhead.

Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel
stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be
easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which
is zero when running inside the kernel.

Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of
the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel
vmlinux.ld.S linker script.

John David Anglin bda079d336 parisc: use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore for PTE updates
User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults.  This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.

One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at).  This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock.  This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated.  The UP and SMP code are now
identical.

The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

Will Deacon 0f28b62890 parisc: uaccess: fix compiler warnings caused by __put_user casting
When targetting 32-bit processors, __put_user emits a pair of stw
instructions for the 8-byte case. If the type of __val is a pointer, the
marshalling code casts it to the wider integer type of u64, resulting
in the following compiler warnings:

  kernel/signal.c: In function 'copy_siginfo_to_user':
  kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  [...]

This patch fixes the warnings by removing the marshalling code and using
the correct output modifiers in the __put_{user,kernel}_asm64 macros
so that GCC will allocate the right registers without the need to
extract the two words explicitly.

Keller, Jacob E 7d4c04fc17 net: add option to enable error queue packets waking select
Currently, when a socket receives something on the error queue it only wakes up
the socket on select if it is in the "read" list, that is the socket has
something to read. It is useful also to wake the socket if it is in the error
list, which would enable software to wait on error queue packets without waking
up for regular data on the socket. The main use case is for receiving
timestamped transmit packets which return the timestamp to the socket via the
error queue. This enables an application to select on the socket for the error
queue only instead of for the regular traffic.

Helge Deller 330cb32520 parisc: fix personality on 32bit kernel
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).

Nothing uses compat_rt_sigframe.h anymore. Commit

Peter Zijlstra b54cb2332e parisc: remove IRQF_DISABLED
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.

John David Anglin 7633453978 parisc: fixes and cleanups in page cache flushing (1/4)
This is the first patch in a series of 4, with which the page cache flushing of
parisc will gets fixed and enhanced. This even fixes the nasty "minifail" bug
(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
7139bc1579 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.

For architectures using dma_map_ops, dma_mmap_coherent() and

Parisc does not use dma_map_ops, hence it should implement them itself.
For now, use dummy implementations that just return -EINVAL, until the

This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it  significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440.  When write  protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation.  Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry

Vincent Bernat d59577b6ff sk-filter: Add ability to lock a socket filter program
While a privileged program can open a raw socket, attach some
restrictive filter and drop its privileges (or send the socket to an
unprivileged program through some Unix socket), the filter can still
be removed or modified by the unprivileged program. This commit adds a
socket option to lock the filter (SO_LOCK_FILTER) preventing any
modification of a socket filter program.

This is similar to OpenBSD BIOCLOCK ioctl on bpf sockets, except even
root is not allowed change/drop the filter.

The state of the lock can be read with getsockopt(). No error is
triggered if the state is not changed. -EPERM is returned when a user
tries to remove the lock or to change/remove the filter while the lock
is active. The check is done directly in sk_attach_filter() and
sk_detach_filter() and does not affect only setsockopt() syscall.

This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

     tglx's original "trace" tool.

   * Support interrupted syscalls in 'trace'

   * Add an event duration column and filter in 'trace'.

   * There are references to the man pages in some tools, so try to
     build Documentation when installing, warning the user if that is
     not possible, from Borislav Petkov.

   * Give user better message if precise is not supported, from David
     Ahern.

   * Try to find cross-built objdump path by using the session
     environment information in the perf.data file header, from Irina
     Tirdea, original patch and idea by Namhyung Kim.

   * Diplays more output on features check for make V=1, so that one can
     figure out what is happening by looking at gcc output, etc.  From
     Jiri Olsa.

   * Add on_exit implementation for systems without one, e.g.  Android,
     from Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.

   * Only process events for vcpus of interest, helps handling large
     number of events, from David Ahern.

   * Cross compilation fixes for Android, from Irina Tirdea.

   * Add documentation on compiling for Android, from Irina Tirdea.

   * perf diff improvements from Jiri Olsa.

   * Target (task/user/cpu/syswide) handling improvements, from Namhyung
     Kim.

   * Add support in 'trace' for tracing workload given by command line,
     from Namhyung Kim.

   * ... and much more."
