<title>PCI: Convert pcibios_resource_to_bus() to take a pci_bus, not a pci_dev</title>

commit fc2798502f860b18f3c7121e4dc659d3d9d28d74 upstream.

These interfaces:

  pcibios_resource_to_bus(struct pci_dev *dev, *bus_region, *resource)
  pcibios_bus_to_resource(struct pci_dev *dev, *resource, *bus_region)

took a pci_dev, but they really depend only on the pci_bus.  And we want to
use them in resource allocation paths where we have the bus but not a
device, so this patch converts them to take the pci_bus instead of the
pci_dev:

  pcibios_resource_to_bus(struct pci_bus *bus, *bus_region, *resource)
  pcibios_bus_to_resource(struct pci_bus *bus, *resource, *bus_region)

In fact, with standard PCI-PCI bridges, they only depend on the host
bridge, because that's the only place address translation occurs, but
we aren't going that far yet.

<title>vm: add VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV handling support</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

commit 25534eb7707821b796fd84f7115367e02f36aa60 upstream.

These functions are used in some PCI drivers with big-endian
MMIO space.

Admittedly it is almost certain that no one this side of the
Moon would use such a card in an Alpha but it does get us
closer to being able to build allyesconfig or allmodconfig,
and it enables the Debian default generic config to build.

commit cd8d2331756751b6aeb855a3c9cb0a92fbd9c725 upstream.

Due to all of the goodness being packed into today's kernels, the
resulting image isn't as slim as it once was.

In light of this, don't pass -msmall-data to gcc, which otherwise results
in link failures due to impossible relocations when compiling anything but
the most trivial configurations.

<title>alpha: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop</title>

commit 4c94cada48f7c660eca582be6032427a5e367117 upstream.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the Alpha's idle loop.

commit 67a806d9499353fabd5b5ff07337f3aa88a1c3ba upstream.

The following build error occurred during an alpha build:

  net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
&gt; Here is the line in sock.i:
&gt;
&gt; struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
&gt; ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

commit 67a806d9499353fabd5b5ff07337f3aa88a1c3ba upstream.

The following build error occurred during an alpha build:

  net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
&gt; Here is the line in sock.i:
&gt;
&gt; struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
&gt; ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

<title>alpha: Don't export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space.</title>

commit a2fa3ccd7b43665fe14cb562761a6c3d26a1d13f upstream.

Currently we export SOCK_NONBLOCK to user space but that conflicts with
the definition from glibc leading to compilation errors in user programs
(e.g.  see Debian bug #658460).

The generic socket.h restricts the definition of SOCK_NONBLOCK to the
kernel, as does the MIPS specific socket.h, so let's do the same on
Alpha.

<title>alpha: fix fpu.h usage in userspace</title>

commit 0be421862b857e61964435ffcaa7499cf77a5e5a upstream.

After commit ec2212088c42 ("Disintegrate asm/system.h for Alpha"), the
fpu.h header which we install for userland started depending on
special_insns.h which is not installed.

However, fpu.h only uses that for __KERNEL__ code, so protect the
inclusion the same way to avoid build breakage in glibc:

  /usr/include/asm/fpu.h:4:31: fatal error: asm/special_insns.h: No such file or directory
