commit d0ffb805b729322626639336986bc83fc2e60871 upstream.

Alpha has had c_ispeed and c_ospeed, but still set speeds in c_cflags
using arbitrary flags. Because BOTHER is not defined, the general
Linux code doesn't allow setting arbitrary baud rates, and because
CBAUDEX == 0, we can have an array overrun of the baud_rate[] table in
drivers/tty/tty_baudrate.c if (c_cflags &amp; CBAUD) == 037.

Resolve both problems by #defining BOTHER to 037 on Alpha.

However, userspace still needs to know if setting BOTHER is actually
safe given legacy kernels (does anyone actually care about that on
Alpha anymore?), so enable the TCGETS2/TCSETS*2 ioctls on Alpha, even
though they use the same structure. Define struct termios2 just for
compatibility; it is the exact same structure as struct termios. In a
future patchset, this will be cleaned up so the uapi headers are
usable from libc.

<title>locking/atomics: Rework ordering barriers</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently architectures can override __atomic_op_*() to define the barriers
used before/after a relaxed atomic when used to build acquire/release/fence
variants.

This has the unfortunate property of requiring the architecture to define the
full wrapper for the atomics, rather than just the barriers they care about,
and gets in the way of generating atomics which can be easily read.

Instead, this patch has architectures define an optional set of barriers:

* __atomic_acquire_fence()
* __atomic_release_fence()
* __atomic_pre_full_fence()
* __atomic_post_full_fence()

... which &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt; uses to build the wrappers.

It would be nice if we could undef these, along with the __atomic_op_*()
wrappers, but that would break the cmpxchg() wrappers, which are written
in preprocessor. Undefs would have been nice, but alas.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The conditional inc/dec ops differ for atomic_t and atomic64_t:

- atomic_inc_unless_positive() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t.
- atomic_dec_unless_negative() is optional for atomic_t, and doesn't exist for atomic64_t.
- atomic_dec_if_positive is optional for atomic_t, and is mandatory for atomic64_t.

Let's make these consistently optional for both. At the same time, let's
clean up the existing fallbacks to use atomic_try_cmpxchg().

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Many of the inc/dec ops are mandatory, but for most architectures inc/dec are
simply trivial wrappers around their corresponding add/sub ops.

Let's make all the inc/dec ops optional, so that we can get rid of these
boilerplate wrappers.

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Some of the atomics return the result of a test applied after the atomic
operation, and almost all architectures implement these as trivial
wrappers around the underlying atomic. Specifically:

 * &lt;atomic&gt;_inc_and_test(v)    is (&lt;atomic&gt;_inc_return(v)    == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_dec_and_test(v)    is (&lt;atomic&gt;_dec_return(v)    == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_sub_and_test(i, v) is (&lt;atomic&gt;_sub_return(i, v) == 0)
 * &lt;atomic&gt;_add_negative(i, v) is (&lt;atomic&gt;_add_return(i, v)  &lt; 0)

Rather than have these definitions duplicated in all architectures, with
minor inconsistencies in formatting and documentation, let's make these
operations optional, with default fallbacks as above. Implementations
must now provide a preprocessor symbol.

The instrumented atomics are updated accordingly.

Both x86 and m68k have custom implementations, which are left as-is,
given preprocessor symbols to avoid being overridden.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

As a step towards unifying the atomic/atomic64/atomic_long APIs, this
patch converts the arch/alpha implementation of atomic64_add_unless() into
an implementation of atomic64_fetch_add_unless().

A wrapper in &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt; will build atomic_add_unless() atop of
this, provided it is given a preprocessor definition.

No functional change is intended as a result of this patch.

<content type='text'>
Several architectures these have a near-identical implementation based
on atomic_read() and atomic_cmpxchg() which we can instead define in
&lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, so let's do so, using something close to the existing
x86 implementation with try_cmpxchg().

Where an architecture provides its own atomic_fetch_add_unless(), it
must define a preprocessor symbol for it. The instrumented atomics are
updated accordingly.

Note that arch/arc's existing atomic_fetch_add_unless() had redundant
barriers, as these are already present in its atomic_cmpxchg()
implementation.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Several architectures these have a near-identical implementation based
on atomic_read() and atomic_cmpxchg() which we can instead define in
&lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, so let's do so, using something close to the existing
x86 implementation with try_cmpxchg().

Where an architecture provides its own atomic_fetch_add_unless(), it
must define a preprocessor symbol for it. The instrumented atomics are
updated accordingly.

Note that arch/arc's existing atomic_fetch_add_unless() had redundant
barriers, as these are already present in its atomic_cmpxchg()
implementation.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Make atomic64_inc_not_zero() optional</title>

We define a trivial fallback for atomic_inc_not_zero(), but don't do
the same for atomic64_inc_not_zero(), leading most architectures to
define the same boilerplate.

Let's add a fallback in &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, and remove the redundant
implementations. Note that atomic64_add_unless() is always defined in
&lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, and promotes its arguments to the requisite types, so
we need not do this explicitly.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>atomics/treewide: Rename __atomic_add_unless() =&gt; atomic_fetch_add_unless()</title>

<id>bfc18e389c7a09fbbbed6bf4032396685b14246e</id>
<content type='text'>
While __atomic_add_unless() was originally intended as a building-block
for atomic_add_unless(), it's now used in a number of places around the
kernel. It's the only common atomic operation named __atomic*(), rather
than atomic_*(), and for consistency it would be better named
atomic_fetch_add_unless().

This lack of consistency is slightly confusing, and gets in the way of
scripting atomics. Given that, let's clean things up and promote it to
an official part of the atomics API, in the form of
atomic_fetch_add_unless().

This patch converts definitions and invocations over to the new name,
including the instrumented version, using the following script:

  ----
  git grep -w __atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
  sed -i '{s/\&lt;__atomic_add_unless\&gt;/atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
  done
  git grep -w __arch_atomic_add_unless | while read line; do
  sed -i '{s/\&lt;__arch_atomic_add_unless\&gt;/arch_atomic_fetch_add_unless/}' "${line%%:*}";
  done
  ----

Note that we do not have atomic{64,_long}_fetch_add_unless(), which will
be introduced by later patches.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Pull timers and timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Core infrastucture work for Y2038 to address the COMPAT interfaces:

     + Add a new Y2038 safe __kernel_timespec and use it in the core
       code

     + Introduce config switches which allow to control the various
       compat mechanisms

     + Use the new config switch in the posix timer code to control the
       32bit compat syscall implementation.

 - Prevent bogus selection of CPU local clocksources which causes an
   endless reselection loop

 - Remove the extra kthread in the clocksource code which has no value
   and just adds another level of indirection

 - The usual bunch of trivial updates, cleanups and fixlets all over the
   place

 - More SPDX conversions
