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

    ra is at sys_io_submit+0x6c/0x200
    v0 = fffffc00c58e6300  t0 = fffffffffffffff2  t1 = 000002000025e000

    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.

<content type='text'>
Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler.  For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno.  Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

Ref-&gt; commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

In this patch all the caller of handle_mm_fault() are changed to return
vm_fault_t type.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler.  For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno.  Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.

Ref-&gt; commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")

In this patch all the caller of handle_mm_fault() are changed to return
vm_fault_t type.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "Highlights:

   - Gustavo A. R. Silva keeps working on the implicit switch fallthru
     changes.

   - Support 802.11ax High-Efficiency wireless in cfg80211 et al, From
     Luca Coelho.

   - Re-enable ASPM in r8169, from Kai-Heng Feng.

   - Add virtual XFRM interfaces, which avoids all of the limitations of
     existing IPSEC tunnels. From Steffen Klassert.

   - Convert GRO over to use a hash table, so that when we have many
     flows active we don't traverse a long list during accumluation.

   - Many new self tests for routing, TC, tunnels, etc. Too many
     contributors to mention them all, but I'm really happy to keep
     seeing this stuff.

   - Hardware timestamping support for dpaa_eth/fsl-fman from Yangbo Lu.

   - Lots of cleanups and fixes in L2TP code from Guillaume Nault.

   - Add IPSEC offload support to netdevsim, from Shannon Nelson.

     very exciting work. From Edward Cree.

   - Busyloop optimizations in vhost_net, from Toshiaki Makita.

   - Introduce the ETF qdisc, which allows time based transmissions. IGB
     can offload this in hardware. From Vinicius Costa Gomes.

   - Add parameter support to devlink, from Moshe Shemesh.

   - Several multiplication and division optimizations for BPF JIT in
     nfp driver, from Jiong Wang.

   - Lots of prepatory work to make more of the packet scheduler layer
     lockless, when possible, from Vlad Buslov.

   - Add ACK filter and NAT awareness to sch_cake packet scheduler, from
     Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.

   - Support regions and region snapshots in devlink, from Alex Vesker.
