[ Upstream commit caace6ca4e06f09413fb8f8a63319594cfb7d47d ]

This issue was noticed while debugging a shutdown issue where some
secondary CPUs are not being shutdown correctly.  A fix for that [1] requires
that secondary cpus be offlined using the cpu_online_mask so that the
stop operation is a no-op if CPU HOTPLUG is disabled.  I, like the author in
[1] looked at the architectures and found that alpha is one of two
architectures that executes smp_send_stop() on all possible CPUs.

On alpha, smp_send_stop() sends an IPI to all possible CPUs but only needs
to send them to online CPUs.

Send the stop IPI to only the online CPUs.

commit c20e128030caf0537d5e906753eac1c28fefdb75 upstream.

The alpha pci_mmap_resource() is used for both IORESOURCE_MEM and
IORESOURCE_IO resources, but iomem_is_exclusive() is only applicable for
IORESOURCE_MEM.

Call iomem_is_exclusive() only for IORESOURCE_MEM resources, and do it
earlier to match the generic version of pci_mmap_resource().

commit 42a0cc3478584d4d63f68f2f5af021ddbea771fa upstream.

Holding uts_sem as a writer while accessing userspace memory allows a
namespace admin to stall all processes that attempt to take uts_sem.
Instead, move data through stack buffers and don't access userspace memory
while uts_sem is held.

[ Upstream commit c82084117f79bcae085e40da526253736a247120 ]

Set the resource type when we reserve VGA-related I/O port resources.

The resource code doesn't actually look at the type, so it inserts
resources without a type in the tree correctly even without this change.
But if we ever print a resource without a type, it looks like this:

  vga+ [??? 0x000003c0-0x000003df flags 0x0]

Setting the type means it will be printed correctly as:

  vga+ [io  0x000003c0-0x000003df]

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

<id>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.
