commit a79a812131b07254c09cf325ec68c0d05aaed0b5 upstream.

We used to use generic implementation of dma_map_ops.mmap which is
dma_common_mmap() but that only worked for simpler cached mappings when
vaddr = paddr.

If a driver requests uncached DMA buffer kernel maps it to virtual
address so that MMU gets involved and page uncached status takes into
account. In that case usage of dma_common_mmap() lead to mapping of
vaddr to vaddr for user-space which is obviously wrong. For more detals
please refer to verbose explanation here [1].

So here we implement our own version of mmap() which always deals
with dma_addr and maps underlying memory to user-space properly
(note that DMA buffer mapped to user-space is always uncached
because there's no way to properly manage cache from user-space).

commit 922cc171998ac3dbe74d57011ef7ed57e9b0d7df upstream.

The current code doesn't even compile as somehow the inline assembly
can't see the register names defined as ARC_RTC_*
I'm pretty sure It worked when I first got it merged, but the tools were
definitely different then.

So better to write this in "C" anyways.

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 cd5d38b052384daa2893e9a1d94900d5a20ed4b5 upstream.

Commit d9676fa152c83b ("ARCv2: Enable LOCKDEP"), changed
local_save_flags() to not return raw STATUS32 but encoded in the form
such that it could be fed directly to CLRI/SETI instructions.
However the STATUS32.E[] was not captured correctly as it corresponds to
bits [4:1] in the register and not [3:0]

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".

Al reported potential issue with ARC get_user() as it wasn't clearing
out destination pointer in case of fault due to bad address etc.

Verified using following

|	u64 bogus2 = 0xdead;
|	int rc1, rc2;
|
|  	pr_info("Orig values %x %llx\n", bogus1, bogus2);
|	rc1 = get_user(bogus1, (u32 __user *)0x40000000);

|	pr_info("access %d %d, new values %x %llx\n",

|  return pfn_pte(pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn), pgprot);

With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code
forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning.

Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly
worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs
(which pte_t would become)

Quoting from ARC ABI...

  "Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary
  variable whose address is passed in r0.
  For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are
  passed in r1 and up."

So
 - struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra
   code at call sites
 - callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple
   MOV into return reg r0)

Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC
