commit 7195ee3120d878259e8d94a5d9f808116f34d5ea upstream.

It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of
NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother.

This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET
in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.

commit 5fe81fe98123ce41265c65e95d34418d30d005d1 upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill TXSTATUS, a well-defined default value is used, based on the
task's current value.

<title>genirq: Remove irq argument from irq flow handlers</title>

Most interrupt flow handlers do not use the irq argument. Those few
which use it can retrieve the irq number from the irq descriptor.

Remove the argument.

Search and replace was done with coccinelle and some extra helper
scripts around it. Thanks to Julia for her help!

Back in early 2008, 4KiB stack support was added to reduce memory
consumption on workloads with lots of threads, using a separate IRQ
stack per CPU to alleviate stack pressure. However the SMP code added a
year and a half later didn't set up the IRQ stack when bringing up
secondary CPUs, resulting in a crash when SMP is configured with 4KiB
stacks, as soon as the first interrupt arrived on a secondary CPU.

Fix with calls to irq_ctx_exit()/irq_ctx_exit() when bringing up/down a
CPU.
