The only tricky bit is the compat version of fanotify_mark, which
which on 32-bit the 64-bit mark argument is passed in as "high32",
"low32".Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Subject: [PATCH] appletalk: Fix skb leak when ipddp interface is not loaded
...Fixed up trivial conflicts:
- arch/x86/include/asm/socket.h
converted to in the x86 tree. The generic
header has the same new #define's, so that works out fine.- drivers/net/tun.c
fix conflict between 89f56d1e9 ("tun: reuse struct sock fields") that
switched over to using 'tun->socket.sk' instead of the redundantly
available (and thus removed) 'tun->sk', and 2b980dbd ("lsm: Add hooks
to the TUN driver") which added a new 'tun->sk' use.Noted in 'next' by Stephen Rothwell.

I think arch/sparc/kernel/sys32.S has an incorrect splice definition:
SIGN2(sys32_splice, sys_splice, %o0, %o1)
The splice() prototype looks like :
long splice(int fd_in, loff_t *off_in, int fd_out,
loff_t *off_out, size_t len, unsigned int flags);So I think we should have :
SIGN2(sys32_splice, sys_splice, %o0, %o2)

The first thing sys_truncate() and sys_ftruncate() do is sign extend
the unsigned length arg to a signed type.Thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for the tip.

Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel
- rename as appropriate
o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes
o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 filesNOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64!
Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64.
And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link
order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
