<title>alpha/PCI: Call iomem_is_exclusive() for IORESOURCE_MEM, but not IORESOURCE_IO</title>

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().

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

<id>903575f1b008e275bae8e55adf12907efc012f72</id>
<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.

pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() is only implemented by x86 now, and legacy ISA
is not used by some architectures.  Make pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() a

<title>sched/idle, alpha: Switch from TS_POLLING to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG</title>

<content type='text'>
Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that
both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word.
This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and
check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless
wakeups.

Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic
thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state
changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway.

<content type='text'>
The Alpha ll/sc primitives do not imply any sort of barrier; therefore
the smp_mb__{before,after} should be a full barrier. This is the
default from asm-generic/barrier.h and therefore just remove the
current definitions.
