commit 55fc633c41a08ce9244ff5f528f420b16b1e04d6 upstream.

We need to define NEED_SRM_SAVE_RESTORE on the Avanti, otherwise we get
machine check exception when attempting to reboot the machine.

<title>alpha: fix crash if pthread_create races with signal delivery</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f6d7ea7a180177fcf5c0aabb45dc8e2503a5fd9e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 21ffceda1c8b3807615c40d440d7815e0c85d366 upstream.

On alpha, a process will crash if it attempts to start a thread and a
signal is delivered at the same time. The crash can be reproduced with
this program: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-11/msg00473.html

The reason for the crash is this:
* we call the clone syscall
* we go to the function copy_process
* copy process calls copy_thread_tls, it is a wrapper around copy_thread
* copy_thread sets the tls pointer: childti-&gt;pcb.unique = regs-&gt;r20
* copy_thread sets regs-&gt;r20 to zero
* we go back to copy_process
* copy process checks "if (signal_pending(current))" and returns
  -ERESTARTNOINTR
* the clone syscall is restarted, but this time, regs-&gt;r20 is zero, so
  the new thread is created with zero tls pointer
* the new thread crashes in start_thread when attempting to access tls

The comment in the code says that setting the register r20 is some
compatibility with OSF/1. But OSF/1 doesn't use the CLONE_SETTLS flag, so
we don't have to zero r20 if CLONE_SETTLS is set. This patch fixes the bug
by zeroing regs-&gt;r20 only if CLONE_SETTLS is not set.

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!

Revert dff22d2054b5 ("PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead
of arch code").

Reading PCI bridge windows is not arch-specific in itself, but there is PCI
core code that doesn't work correctly if we read them too early.  For
example, Hannes found this case on an ARM Freescale i.mx6 board:

  pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x01000000-0x01efffff]
  pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01-ff]
  pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x01000000] (mem window)
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: failed to assign [mem size 0x00200000]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 1: failed to assign [mem size 0x00004000]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: failed to assign [mem size 0x00000100]

The 00:00.0 mem window needs to be at least 3MB: the 01:00.0 device needs
0x204100 of space, and mem windows are megabyte-aligned.

Bus sizing can increase a bridge window size, but never *decrease* it (see
d65245c3297a ("PCI: don't shrink bridge resources")).  Prior to
dff22d2054b5, ARM didn't read bridge windows at all, so the "original size"
was zero, and we assigned a 3MB window.

After dff22d2054b5, we read the bridge windows before sizing the bus.  The
firmware programmed a 16MB window (size 0x01000000) in 00:00.0, and since
we never decrease the size, we kept 16MB even though we only needed 3MB.
But 16MB doesn't fit in the host bridge aperture, so we failed to assign
space for the window and the downstream devices.

I think this is a defect in the PCI core: we shouldn't rely on the firmware
to assign sensible windows.

Ray reported a similar problem, also on ARM, with Broadcom iProc.

Issues like this are too hard to fix right now, so revert dff22d2054b5.

<title>dma-mapping: consolidate dma_set_mask</title>

<content type='text'>
Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in -&gt;set_dma_mask methods.

This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls -&gt;set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation.  Some architectures used to only call -&gt;set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work.  h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.

Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.
