aeb3987683 sparc64: Fix probe_kernel_{read,write}().
This is based upon a report from Chris Torek and his initial patch.
From Chris's report:

--------------------
This came up in testing kgdb, using the built-in tests -- turn
on CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS, then

    echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts

-- but it would affect using kgdb if you were debugging and looking
at bad pointers.
--------------------

When we get a copy_{from,to}_user() request and the %asi is set to
something other than ASI_AIUS (which is userspace) then we branch off
to a routine called memcpy_user_stub().  It just does a straight
memcpy since we are copying from kernel to kernel in this case.

The logic was that since source and destination are both kernel
pointers we don't need to have exception checks.

But for what probe_kernel_{read,write}() is trying to do, we have to
have the checks, otherwise things like kgdb bad kernel pointer
accesses don't do the right thing.

40bdac7dbc sparc64: Kill .fixup section bloat.
This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek:
--------------------
Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros
scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup
code, all of which does the same thing.  At the cost of one symbol
in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction
retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share.
--------------------

The following is with a defconfig build:

It's illegal to call flush_dcache_page on slab pages on a number

In future we can move the flush_dcache_page call to those page

cfbf84fcbc tun: Fix unicast filter overflow
Tap devices can make use of a small MAC filter set via the
TUNSETTXFILTER ioctl.  The filter has a set of exact matches
plus a hash for imperfect filtering of additional multicast
addresses.  The current code is unbalanced, adding unicast
addresses to the multicast hash, but only checking the hash
against multicast addresses.  This results in the filter
dropping unicast addresses that overflow the exact filter.
The fix is simply to disable the filter by leaving count set
to zero if we find non-multicast addresses after the exact
match table is filled.

1fb25cb8b8 radeonfb: Fix resume from D3Cold on some platforms
For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring
of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as
an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not.

This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will
have restored things for us.

This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard
core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to
re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

d2f5935770 drm/i915: select framebuffer support automatically
Migration helper.

The i915 driver recently added a 'depends on FB' rule to its
Kconfig entry - which silently turns off DRM_I915 if someone
has a working config but no CONFIG_FB selected, and upgrades
to the latest upstream kernel.

Norbert Preining reported this problem:

   Bug-Entry   : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12599
   Subject     : dri /dev node disappeared with 2.6.29-rc1

So change it to "select FB", which auto-selects framebuffer
support. This way the driver keeps working, regardless of
whether FB was enabled before or not.

Kconfig select's of interactive options can be problematic to
dependencies and can cause build breakages - but in this case
it's safe because it's a leaf entry with no dependencies of its
own.

( There is some minor circular dependency fallout as FB_I810
  and FB_INTEL also used 'depends on FB' constructs - update
  those to "select FB" too. )

9880b7a527 drm/i915: add get_vblank_counter function for GM45
As discussed in the long thread about vblank related timeouts, it turns out
GM45 has different frame count registers than previous chips.  This patch
adds support for them, which prevents us from waiting on really stale

ends up timing out or getting interrupted).

14d200c5e5 drm/i915: capture last_vblank count at IRQ uninstall time too
In dc1336ff4f (set vblank enable flag correctly
across IRQ uninstall), we made sure drivers that uninstall their interrupt
handler set the vblank enabled flag correctly, so that when interrupts are
re-enabled, vblank interrupts & counts work as expected.  However I missed the
last_vblank field:  it needs to be updated as well, otherwise, at the next
drm_update_vblank_count we'll end up comparing a current count to a stale
one (the last one captured by the disable function), which may trigger the
wraparound handling, leading to a jumpy counter and hangs in drm_wait_vblank.

The jumpy counter can prevent the DRM_WAIT_ON from returning success if the
difference between the current count and the requested count is greater than
2^23, leading to timeouts or hangs, if the ioctl is restarted in a loop (as
is the case in libdrm < 2.4.4).

was (as Andrew Morton pointed out) it really only wanted to bail

dynamic ftrace in_nmi custom code was true if _any_ CPU happened
to be in NMI context.

Now that we have a generic in_nmi interface, this patch changes

Impact: prevent deadlock in NMI

The ring buffers are not yet totally lockless with writing to
the buffer. When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock
to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not
to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to
its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that
can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant
with the spinlocks disabling interrupts.

The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write
crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing
with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect
against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the
users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a
user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring
buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then
we risk the chance of a deadlock.

This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the
ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is
used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates
the Kconfig to handle it.

When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer
code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer
crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin
lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry
is discarded.

This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing
is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there.

1830b52d0d trace: remove deprecated entry->cpu
Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu

With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is
implicit with which CPU buffer it is on.

The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic
entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the
ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the
the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed
to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu).

Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed.
This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu,
unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault
of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to
retrieve the cpu identifier.

This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes
all the users that should have been using iter->cpu.

7f9a50a5b8 module: remove over-zealous check in __module_get()
Impact: fix spurious BUG_ON() triggered under load

module_refcount() isn't reliable outside stop_machine(), as demonstrated
by Karsten Keil <kkeil@suse.de>, networking can trigger it under load
(an inc on one cpu and dec on another while module_refcount() is tallying
 can give false results, for example).

Almost noone should be using __module_get, but that's another issue.

0b492fce3d sunhme: Don't match PCI devices in SBUS probe.
Unfortunately, the OF device tree nodes for SBUS and PCI
hme devices have the same device node name on some systems.

So if the name of the parent node isn't 'sbus', skip it.

Based upon an excellent report and detective work by
Meelis Roos and Eric Brower.
