commit 8525023121de4848b5f0a7d867ffeadbc477774d upstream.

They used to need odd calling conventions due to old exception handling
mechanism, the last remnants of which had disappeared back in 2002.

[ 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.

<title>alpha: Fix Eiger NR_IRQS to 128</title>

<content type='text'>
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>7ef531f45fdb53ea34beb3800182cabc1e28dce2</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:

```

    CPU 3
    aio(26027): Oops 0
    pc = [&lt;fffffc00004eddf8&gt;]  ra = [&lt;fffffc00004edd5c&gt;]  ps = 0000    Not tainted

    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.

                         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:

```

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.

<title>sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory</title>

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.
