Fix the preemption resume_kernel() routine by inverting the test to see
whether interrupts are off (IM7 is all enabled, not all disabled).Furthermore, interrupts should be disabled on entry to resume_kernel() so that
they're correctly set for jumping to restore_all() and doing the need
reschedule test.Signed-off-by: Akira Takeuchi

Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port.
The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial
ports:(1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx.
(2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx.
(3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt
stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx.mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt. It
doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx.However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled()
sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the
UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled.The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in
mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty
may have gone away.To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the
high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt. The low
priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.Signed-off-by: Akira Takeuchi

Include the linux/page.h header into the MN10300 kernel linker script thus
allowing us to use PAGE_SIZE macro instead of a numeric constant.Also use the PERCPU macro instead of an explicit section definition.

MIPS: Better than nothing implementation of PCI mmap to fix X. -
mconsole_init() passed 256 bytes as length in os_create_unix_socket, while
the sizeof UNIX_PATH_MAX is 108. This patch fixes that problem and avoids
a big overrun bug reported on UML bootup.sockaddr_un.sun_path is UNIX_PATH_MAX long which causes the problem.

Certain X11 servers such as the SIS server will only work if PCI mmap is
implemented. This patch implements PCI mmap but to be on the same side
so close to a release it only supports uncached mappings so performance
will not be optimal for some uses such as framebuffers.Thanks to Zhang Le for the original report and
testing.Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

With the introduction of the generic affinity autoselector,
irq_select_affinity(), IRQs are now being retargetted,
using a default mask, via the request_irq() path.
This results in all IRQs targetted at CPU 0.SN Altix assigns affinity in the SN PROM, and does not
expect that to be changed as part of request_irq().Set the IRQ_AFFINITY_SET flag to prevent
request_irq() from resetting affinity.Signed-off-by: John Keller

The AUTOFS=y and AUTOFS4=y causes problems with some distros versions of
automount. I turned both of those to =m and then followed the default

As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall

On ARMv6 and later CPUs, it is possible for userspace processes to
get stuck on a misaligned load or store due to the "ignore fault"
setting; unlike previous CPUs, retrying the instruction without
the 'A' bit set does not always cause the load to succeed.We have no real option but to default to fixing up alignment faults
on these CPUs, and having the CPU fix up those misaligned accesses
which it can.Reported-by: Wolfgang Grandegger

Commit 8ec53663d2698076468b3e1edc4e1b418bd54de3 ("[ARM] Improve
non-executable support") added support for detecting non-executable
stack binaries. One of the things it does is to make READ_IMPLIES_EXEC
be set in ->personality if we are running on a CPU that doesn't support
the XN ("Execute Never") page table bit or if we are running a binary
that needs an executable stack.This exposed a latent bug in ARM's asm/processor.h due to which we'll
end up placing the stack at a very low address, where it will bump into
the heap on any application that uses significant amount of stack or
heap or both, causing many interesting crashes.Fix this by testing the ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT bit in ->personality instead
of testing for equality against PER_LINUX_32BIT.Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre

The 440x5 core in the Virtex5 uses the 440A type machine check
(ie, they have MCSRR0/MCSRR1). They thus need to call the
appropriate fixup function to hook the right variant of the
exception.Without this, all machine checks become fatal due to loss
of context when entering the exception handler.Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less
than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the
syscall table. This led to non-deterministic behavior including system
crashes.While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer
instructions. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are use the same code now.Signed-off-by: Vlad Malov
