commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df upstream.

MIPS64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
calling sys_keyctl.  The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby hiding
the issue.

commit 128639395b2ceacc6a56a0141d0261012bfe04d3 upstream.

Update the recent changes to set_pte() that were added in 46011e6ea392
to handle R10000_LLSC_WAR, and format the assembly to match other areas
of the MIPS tree using the same WAR.

This also incorporates a patch recently sent in my Markos Chandras,
"Remove local LL/SC preprocessor variants", so that patch doesn't need
to be applied if this one is accepted.

Avoid sending a partially initialised `siginfo_t' structure along SIGFPE

<title>MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls</title>

commit e967ef022e00bb7c2e5b1a42007abfdd52055050 upstream.

When 32-bit MIPS userspace invokes a syscall indirectly via syscall(number,
arg1, ..., arg7), the kernel looks up the actual syscall based on the given
number, shifts the other arguments to the left, and jumps to the syscall.

If the syscall is interrupted by a signal and indicates it needs to be
restarted by the kernel (by returning ERESTARTNOINTR for example), the
syscall must be called directly, since the number is no longer the first
argument, and the other arguments are now staged for a direct call.

Before shifting the arguments, store the syscall number in pt_regs-&gt;regs[2].
This gets copied temporarily into pt_regs-&gt;regs[0] after the syscall returns.
If the syscall needs to be restarted, handle_signal()/do_signal() copies the
number back to pt_regs-&gt;reg[2], which ends up in $v0 once control returns to
userspace.

commit 53960059d56ecef67d4ddd546731623641a3d2d1 upstream.

If there is a DMA zone (usually 24bit = 16MB I believe), but no DMA32
zone, as is the case for some 32-bit kernels, then massage_gfp_flags()
will cause DMA memory allocated for devices with a 32..63-bit
coherent_dma_mask to fall back to using __GFP_DMA, even though there may
only be 32-bits of physical address available anyway.

Correct that case to compare against a mask the size of phys_addr_t
instead of always using a 64-bit mask.

commit 46011e6ea39235e4aca656673c500eac81a07a17 upstream.

On MIPS the GLOBAL bit of the PTE must have the same value in any
aligned pair of PTEs.  These pairs of PTEs are referred to as
"buddies".  In a SMP system is is possible for two CPUs to be calling
set_pte() on adjacent PTEs at the same time.  There is a race between
setting the PTE and a different CPU setting the GLOBAL bit in its
buddy PTE.

This race can be observed when multiple CPUs are executing
vmap()/vfree() at the same time.

Make setting the buddy PTE's GLOBAL bit an atomic operation to close
the race condition.

The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR &amp;&amp; CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
handled.

commit f05ff43355e6997c18f82ddcee370a6e5f8643ce upstream.

This is no longer needed with the fixed, new and improved definition
of cpu_has_mips_r2_exec_hazard in &lt;asm/cpu-features.h&gt;.

For a discussion, see http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/9539/.
