commit 7798bf2140ebcc36eafec6a4194fffd8d585d471 upstream.

On faulting sigreturn we do get SIGSEGV, all right, but anything
we'd put into pt_regs could end up in the coredump.  And since
__copy_from_user() never zeroed on arc, we'd better bugger off
on its failure without copying random uninitialized bits of
kernel stack into pt_regs...

commit bc0c7ece6191d89f435e4e4016f74167430c6c21 upstream.

In the end of "arc_init_IRQ" STATUS32.IE flag is going to be affected by
"flag" instruction but "flag" never touches IE flag on ARCv2. So "kflag"
instruction must be used instead of "flag".

<title>ARC: Support syscall ABI v4</title>

<id>840c054fd0efb048df6fceb0c46385ec5b66dfe6</id>
<content type='text'>
The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall
implies userland caller and kernel callee.

The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in
even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such
values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word
LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc
forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we
have plenty anyways).

This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new
ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction.

Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in
terms of gcc code generation.

In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards
is used for building the kernel.

This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with
new tools/user-space

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:

 - remove most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code.  Now the DT
   core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to
   call it if they have special needs

 - use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements

 - CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions

 - add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list
   corresponding kernel config options

 - fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT

 - correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct
   vendor prefix

 - fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts

Pull the clockevents/clocksource tree from Daniel Lezcano:

  - Convert the clocksource-probe init functions to return a value in order to
    prepare the consolidation of the drivers using the DT. It is a big patchset
    but went through 01.org (kbuild bot), linux next and kernel-ci (continuous
    integration) (Daniel Lezcano)

  - Fix a bad error handling by returning the right value for cadence_ttc
    (Christophe Jaillet)

  - Fix typo in the Kconfig for the Samsung pwm (Alexandre Belloni)

  - Change functions to static for armada-370-xp and digicolor (Ben Dooks)

  - Add support for the rk3399 SoC timer by adding bindings and a slight
    change in the base address. Take the opportunity to add the DYNIRQ flag
    (Huang Tao)

  - Fix endian accessors for the Samsung pwm timer (Matthew Leach)

  - Add Oxford Semiconductor RPS Dual Timer driver (Neil Armstrong)

  - Add a kernel parameter to swich on/off the event stream feature of the arch
    arm timer (Will Deacon)
