[ Upstream commit 35a3f4ef0ab543daa1725b0c963eb8c05e3376f8 ]

Some drivers pass a pointer to volatile data to virt_to_bus() and
virt_to_phys(), and that works fine.  One exception is alpha.  This
results in a number of compile errors such as

  drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_main.c: In function 'lmc_softreset':
  drivers/net/wan/lmc/lmc_main.c:1782:50: error:
	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'
	qualifier from pointer target type

  drivers/atm/ambassador.c: In function 'do_loader_command':
  drivers/atm/ambassador.c:1747:58: error:
	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'
	qualifier from pointer target type

Declare the parameter of virt_to_phys and virt_to_bus as pointer to
volatile to fix the problem.

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit bd72866b8da499e60633ff28f8a4f6e09ca78efe ]

These accessors must be used to read/write a big-endian bus.  The value
returned or written is native-endian.

However, these accessors are defined using be{16,32}_to_cpu() or
cpu_to_be{16,32}() to make the endian conversion but these expect a
__be{16,32} when none is present.  Keeping them would need a force cast
that would solve nothing at all.

So, do the conversion using swab{16,32}, like done in asm-generic for
similar situations.

[ Upstream commit 679b2ec8e060ca7a90441aff5e7d384720a41b76 ]

This kernel configuration is basically enabling/disabling sr driver quirks
detection. While these quirks are for fairly rare devices (very old CD
burners, and a glucometer), the additional detection of these models is a
very minimal amount of code.

The logic behind the quirks is always built into the sr driver.

This also removes the config from all the defconfig files that are enabling
this already.

commit 54505a1e2083fc54cbe8779b97479f969cd30a00 upstream.

The commits cd0e00c10672 and 92d7223a7423 broke boot on the Alpha Avanti
platform. The patches move memory barriers after a write before the write.
The result is that if there's iowrite followed by ioread, there is no
barrier between them.

The Alpha architecture allows reordering of the accesses to the I/O space,
and the missing barrier between write and read causes hang with serial
port and real time clock.

This patch makes barriers confiorm to the specification.

1. We add mb() before readX_relaxed and writeX_relaxed -
   memory-barriers.txt claims that these functions must be ordered w.r.t.
   each other. Alpha doesn't order them, so we need an explicit barrier.
2. We add mb() before reads from the I/O space - so that if there's a
   write followed by a read, there should be a barrier between them.

<title>Fix 'acccess_ok()' on alpha and SH</title>

commit 94bd8a05cd4de344a9a57e52ef7d99550251984f upstream.

Commit 594cc251fdd0 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'")
broke both alpha and SH booting in qemu, as noticed by Guenter Roeck.

It turns out that the bug wasn't actually in that commit itself (which
would have been surprising: it was mostly a no-op), but in how the
addition of access_ok() to the strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()
functions now triggered the case where those functions would test the
access of the very last byte of the user address space.

The string functions actually did that user range test before too, but
they did it manually by just comparing against user_addr_max().  But
with user_access_begin() doing the check (using "access_ok()"), it now
exposed problems in the architecture implementations of that function.

For example, on alpha, the access_ok() helper macro looked like this:

  #define __access_ok(addr, size) \
        ((get_fs().seg &amp; (addr | size | (addr+size))) == 0)

and what it basically tests is of any of the high bits get set (the
USER_DS masking value is 0xfffffc0000000000).

And that's completely wrong for the "addr+size" check.  Because it's
off-by-one for the case where we check to the very end of the user
address space, which is exactly what the strn*_user() functions do.

Why? Because "addr+size" will be exactly the size of the address space,
so trying to access the last byte of the user address space will fail
the __access_ok() check, even though it shouldn't.  As a result, the
user string accessor functions failed consistently - because they
literally don't know how long the string is going to be, and the max
access is going to be that last byte of the user address space.

Side note: that alpha macro is buggy for another reason too - it re-uses
the arguments twice.

And SH has another version of almost the exact same bug:

  #define __addr_ok(addr) \
        ((unsigned long __force)(addr) &lt; current_thread_info()-&gt;addr_limit.seg)

so far so good: yes, a user address must be below the limit.  But then:

  #define __access_ok(addr, size)         \
        (__addr_ok((addr) + (size)))

is wrong with the exact same off-by-one case: the case when "addr+size"
is exactly _equal_ to the limit is actually perfectly fine (think "one
byte access at the last address of the user address space")

The SH version is actually seriously buggy in another way: it doesn't
actually check for overflow, even though it did copy the _comment_ that
talks about overflow.

So it turns out that both SH and alpha actually have completely buggy
implementations of access_ok(), but they happened to work in practice
(although the SH overflow one is a serious serious security bug, not
that anybody likely cares about SH security).

This fixes the problems by using a similar macro on both alpha and SH.
It isn't trying to be clever, the end address is based on this logic:

        unsigned long __ao_end = __ao_a + __ao_b - !!__ao_b;

which basically says "add start and length, and then subtract one unless
the length was zero".  We can't subtract one for a zero length, or we'd
just hit an underflow instead.

For a lot of access_ok() users the length is a constant, so this isn't
actually as expensive as it initially looks.

commit bfc913682464f45bc4d6044084e370f9048de9d5 upstream.

Eiger machine vector definition has nr_irqs 128, and working 2.6.26
boot shows SCSI getting IRQ-s 64 and 65. Current kernel boot fails
because Symbios SCSI fails to request IRQ-s and does not find the disks.
It has been broken at least since 3.18 - the earliest I could test with
my gcc-5.

The headers have moved around and possibly another order of defines has
worked in the past - but since 128 seems to be correct and used, fix
arch/alpha/include/asm/irq.h to have NR_IRQS=128 for Eiger.

This fixes 4.19-rc7 boot on my Force Flexor A264 (Eiger subarch).

<title>alpha: fix page fault handling for r16-r18 targets</title>

<id>c56eef69ba249382f4d0ffa47e14387a192b5f70</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 491af60ffb848b59e82f7c9145833222e0bf27a5 upstream.

Fix page fault handling code to fixup r16-r18 registers.
Before the patch code had off-by-two registers bug.
This bug caused overwriting of ps,pc,gp registers instead
of fixing intended r16,r17,r18 (see `struct pt_regs`).

More details:

Initially Dmitry noticed a kernel bug as a failure
on strace test suite. Test passes unmapped userspace
pointer to io_submit:

```c
    #include &lt;err.h&gt;
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
    #include &lt;sys/mman.h&gt;
    #include &lt;asm/unistd.h&gt;
    int main(void)
    {
        unsigned long ctx = 0;
        if (syscall(__NR_io_setup, 1, &amp;ctx))
            err(1, "io_setup");
        const size_t page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
        const size_t size = page_size * 2;
        void *ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                         MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        if (MAP_FAILED == ptr)
            err(1, "mmap(%zu)", size);
        if (munmap(ptr, size))
            err(1, "munmap");
        syscall(__NR_io_submit, ctx, 1, ptr + page_size);
        syscall(__NR_io_destroy, ctx);
        return 0;
    }
```

Running this test causes kernel to crash when handling page fault:

```
    Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffffffff9468
    CPU 3
    aio(26027): Oops 0
    pc = [&lt;fffffc00004eddf8&gt;]  ra = [&lt;fffffc00004edd5c&gt;]  ps = 0000    Not tainted
    pc is at sys_io_submit+0x108/0x200
    ra is at sys_io_submit+0x6c/0x200
    v0 = fffffc00c58e6300  t0 = fffffffffffffff2  t1 = 000002000025e000
    t2 = fffffc01f159fef8  t3 = fffffc0001009640  t4 = fffffc0000e0f6e0
    t5 = 0000020001002e9e  t6 = 4c41564e49452031  t7 = fffffc01f159c000
    s0 = 0000000000000002  s1 = 000002000025e000  s2 = 0000000000000000
    s3 = 0000000000000000  s4 = 0000000000000000  s5 = fffffffffffffff2
    s6 = fffffc00c58e6300
    a0 = fffffc00c58e6300  a1 = 0000000000000000  a2 = 000002000025e000
    a3 = 00000200001ac260  a4 = 00000200001ac1e8  a5 = 0000000000000001
    t8 = 0000000000000008  t9 = 000000011f8bce30  t10= 00000200001ac440
    t11= 0000000000000000  pv = fffffc00006fd320  at = 0000000000000000
    gp = 0000000000000000  sp = 00000000265fd174
    Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
    Trace:
    [&lt;fffffc0000311404&gt;] entSys+0xa4/0xc0
```

Here `gp` has invalid value. `gp is s overwritten by a fixup for the
following page fault handler in `io_submit` syscall handler:

```
    __se_sys_io_submit
    ...
        ldq     a1,0(t1)
        bne     t0,4280 &lt;__se_sys_io_submit+0x180&gt;
```

After a page fault `t0` should contain -EFALUT and `a1` is 0.
Instead `gp` was overwritten in place of `a1`.

This happens due to a off-by-two bug in `dpf_reg()` for `r16-r18`
(aka `a0-a2`).

I think the bug went unnoticed for a long time as `gp` is one
of scratch registers. Any kernel function call would re-calculate `gp`.

Dmitry tracked down the bug origin back to 2.1.32 kernel version
where trap_a{0,1,2} fields were inserted into struct pt_regs.
And even before that `dpf_reg()` contained off-by-one error.

<title>arch/alpha, termios: implement BOTHER, IBSHIFT and termios2</title>

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.
