commit bba3d8c3b3c0f2123be5bc687d1cddc13437c923 upstream.

The following build error occured during a parisc build with
swap-over-NFS patches applied.

net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks')
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
&gt; Here is the line in sock.i:
&gt;
&gt; struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
&gt; ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

Linus broke us with

commit 36126f8f2ed8168eb13aa0662b9b9585cba100a9
Author: Linus Torvalds &lt;torvalds@linux-foundation.org&gt;
Date:   Sat May 26 10:43:17 2012 -0700

    word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic

By moving functions defined in strncopy_from_user.c into the asm-geneic
version word-at-a-time.h.  Spark and OpenRisc were fixed to use this, but
not parisc.  Fix by adding to generic-y in asm/Kbuild

Al viro broke us with

commit edd63a2763bdae0daa4f0a4d4c5d61d1154352a5
Author: Al Viro &lt;viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk&gt;
Date:   Fri Apr 27 13:42:45 2012 -0400

    set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be)

Although it's pretty much our fault since parisc's asm/bug.h uses
BUGWARN_TAINT but doesn't include the file that defines it.  Fix that.

commit 8239c25f47d2b318156993b15f33900a86ea5e17 added an argument to our
__cpu_up() function, but didn't notice we have an extra definition for
this in asm/smp.h resulting in a compile failure.

Fix by removing the extraneous parisc definition of __cpu_up().  While
we're at it, remove the duplicated definition of smp_send_reschedule().
