[ Upstream commit f7b2431a6d22f7a91c567708e071dfcd6d66db14 ]

We only want to take the slow path if SYSCALL_TRACE or SYSCALL_AUDIT is
set; on !AUDIT_SYSCALL configs the current tree hits it whenever _any_
thread flag (including NEED_RESCHED, NOTIFY_SIGNAL, etc.) happens to
be set.

commit b68b914494df4f79b4e9b58953110574af1cb7a2 upstream.

Since commit a9c3f68f3cd8d (tty: Fix low_latency BUG) in 2014,
tty_flip_buffer_push() is only a wrapper to tty_schedule_flip(). We are
going to remove the latter (as it is used less), so call the former in
the rest of the users.

commit 1097710bc9660e1e588cf2186a35db3d95c4d258 upstream.

Alpha defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().

[ 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.

$(ev6-y)divide.S is a source file, not a build-time generated file.
So, it should be prefixed with $(src)/ rather than $(obj)/.

commit 5ed78e5523fd9ba77b8444d380d54da1f88c53fc upstream.

$(ev6-y)divide.S is a source file, not a build-time generated file.
So, it should be prefixed with $(src)/ rather than $(obj)/.
