[ Upstream commit c44f15c1c09481d50fd33478ebb5b8284f8f5edb ]

Add 'volatile' to iounmap()'s argument to prevent build warnings.
This make it the same as other major architectures.

Placates these warnings: (12 such warnings)

../drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c: In function 'rivafb_probe':

[ Upstream commit cef397038167ac15d085914493d6c86385773709 ]

Stefan Agner reported a bug when using zsram on 32-bit Arm machines
with RAM above the 4GB address boundary:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  pgd = a27bd01c

  Process mkfs.ext4 (pid: 123, stack limit = 0x495a22e6)
  Stack: (0xe376bbe0 to 0xe376c000)

As it turns out, zsram needs to know the maximum memory size, which
is defined in MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is set, or in
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS on the x86 architecture.

The same problem will be hit on all 32-bit architectures that have a
physical address space larger than 4GB and happen to not enable sparsemem
and include asm/sparsemem.h from asm/pgtable.h.

After the initial discussion, I suggested just always defining
MAX_POSSIBLE_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is
set, or provoking a build error otherwise. This addresses all
configurations that can currently have this runtime bug, but
leaves all other configurations unchanged.

I looked up the possible number of bits in source code and
datasheets, here is what I found:

 - on ARC, CONFIG_ARC_HAS_PAE40 controls whether 32 or 40 bits are used
 - on ARM, CONFIG_LPAE enables 40 bit addressing, without it we never
   support more than 32 bits, even though supersections in theory allow
   up to 40 bits as well.
 - on MIPS, some MIPS32r1 or later chips support 36 bits, and MIPS32r5
   XPA supports up to 60 bits in theory, but 40 bits are more than
   anyone will ever ship
 - On PowerPC, there are three different implementations of 36 bit
   addressing, but 32-bit is used without CONFIG_PTE_64BIT
 - On RISC-V, the normal page table format can support 34 bit
   addressing. There is no highmem support on RISC-V, so anything
   above 2GB is unused, but it might be useful to eventually support
   CONFIG_ZRAM for high pages.

commit 8d92e992a785f35d23f845206cf8c6cafbc264e0 upstream.

The default defintions use fill pattern 0x90 for padding which for ARC
generates unintended "ldh_s r12,[r0,0x20]" corresponding to opcode 0x9090

So use ".align 4" which insert a "nop_s" instruction instead.

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by

to inhibit autosave.

[ Upstream commit d5e3c55e01d8b1774b37b4647c30fb22f1d39077 ]

Newer ARC gcc handles lp_start, lp_end in a different way and doesn't
like them in the clobber list.

Change __ffs return value from 'int' to 'unsigned long' as it

checked.

As __ffs may return values in [0-31] interval changing return
type to unsigned is valid.

<title>ARC: define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN = 8</title>

commit b6835ea77729e7faf4656ca637ba53f42b8ee3fd upstream.

The default value of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in "include/linux/slab.h" is
"__alignof__(unsigned long long)" which for ARC unexpectedly turns out
to be 4. This is not a compiler bug, but as defined by ARC ABI [1]

Thus slab allocator would allocate a struct which is 32-bit aligned,
which is generally OK even if struct has long long members.
There was however potetial problem when it had any atomic64_t which
use LLOCKD/SCONDD instructions which are required by ISA to take
64-bit addresses. This is the problem we ran into

The fix is to make sure slab allocations are 64-bit aligned.

Do note that atomic64_t is __attribute__((aligned(8)) which means gcc
does generate 64-bit aligned references, relative to beginning of
container struct. However the issue is if the container itself is not
64-bit aligned, atomic64_t ends up unaligned which is what this patch
ensures.
