commit 3b9c6c11f519718d618f5d7c9508daf78b207f6f upstream.

This only matters for ISA devices with a 24-bit DMA limit or for devices
with a 32-bit DMA limit on systems with ZONE_DMA32 enabled.  The latter
currently only affects 32-bit PCI cards on Sibyte-based systems with more
than 1GB RAM installed.

commit bf3a1eb85967dcbaae42f4fcb53c2392cec32677 upstream.

When au1000_eth probes the MII bus for PHY address, if we do not set
au1000_eth platform data's phy_search_highest_address, the MII probing
logic will exit early and will assume a valid PHY is found at address 0.
For MTX-1, the PHY is at address 31, and without this patch, the link
detection/speed/duplex would not work correctly.

<title>compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()</title>

commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

<title>MIPS: Set io_map_base for several PCI bridges lacking it</title>

Several MIPS platforms don't set pci_controller::io_map_base for their
PCI bridges.  This results in a panic in pci_iomap().  (The panic is
conditional on CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS, but that is now enabled for all PCI
MIPS systems.)

<title>MIPS: Alchemy: Define eth platform devices in the correct order</title>

Currently, the eth devices are probed in the inverse order, first
au1xxx_eth1_device and then au1xxx_eth0_device. On the GPR board,
this makes trouble:

  # ifconfig|grep HWaddr
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:C2:0C:30:01
  eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 66:22:01:80:38:10

A bogous ethernet hwaddr is assigned to the first device and
au1xxx_eth0_device is mapped to eth1, which even does not work
properly. With this patch, the problems are gone:

  # ifconfig|grep HWaddr
  eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 66:22:11:32:38:10
  eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 66:22:11:32:38:11

As a relativly new ABI N32 should only have received the getdents64(2) but

This patch fixes a regression introduced by commit "MIPS: Alchemy: MTX-1:
Use linux gpio api." (bb706b28bbd647c2fd7f22d6bf03a18b9552be05) which broke
PCI bus operation. The problem is caused by alchemy_gpio2_enable() which
resets the GPIO2 block. Two PCI signals (PCI_SERR and PCI_RST) are connected
to GPIO2 and they obviously do not to like the reset. Since GPIO2 is
correctly initialized by the boot monitor (YAMON) it is not necessary to
call this function, so just remove it.

Also replace gpio_set_value() with alchemy_gpio_set_value() to avoid
problems in case gpiolib gets initialized after PCI. And since alchemy
gpio_set_value() calls au_sync() we don't have to au_sync() again later.

<content type='text'>
Quoting from Jiri Slaby's patch of a similar nature for x86:

    When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its
    module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe
    process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in
    __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may
    not be inited yet (link order matters).

Move init_vdso up to subsys_initcall to avoid the issue.

Quoting from Jiri Slaby's patch of a similar nature for x86:

    When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its
    module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe
    process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in
    __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may
    not be inited yet (link order matters).

Move init_vdso up to subsys_initcall to avoid the issue.
