commit 340233dcc0160aafcce46ca893d1679f16acf409 upstream.

The cr16 interval timers are not synchronized across CPUs, even with just
one dual-core CPU. This becomes visible if the machines have a longer
uptime.

commit 5b89966bc96a06f6ad65f64ae4b0461918fcc9d3 upstream.

The Linux tool "lscpu" shows the double amount of CPUs if we have
"model" and "model name" in two different lines in /proc/cpuinfo.
This change combines the model and the model name into one line.

[ Upstream commit a9fe7fa7d874a536e0540469f314772c054a0323 ]

This change fixes the following:

1) The flags variable is not initialized. Always use raw_spin_lock_irqsave
and raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore to serialize patching.

2) flush_kernel_vmap_range is primarily intended for DMA flushes. Since
__patch_text_multiple is often called with interrupts disabled, it is
better to directly call flush_kernel_dcache_range_asm and
flush_kernel_icache_range_asm. This avoids an extra call.

3) The final call to flush_icache_range is unnecessary.

<title>parisc: Fix handling off probe non-access faults</title>

[ Upstream commit e00b0a2ab8ec019c344e53bfc76e31c18bb587b7 ]

Currently, the parisc kernel does not fully support non-access TLB
fault handling for probe instructions. In the fast path, we set the
target register to zero if it is not a shadowed register. The slow
path is not implemented, so we call do_page_fault. The architecture
indicates that non-access faults should not cause a page fault from
disk.

This change adds to code to provide non-access fault support for
probe instructions. It also modifies the handling of faults on
userspace so that if the address lies in a valid VMA and the access
type matches that for the VMA, the probe target register is set to
one. Otherwise, the target register is set to zero.

This was done to make probe instructions more useful for userspace.
Probe instructions are not very useful if they set the target register
to zero whenever a page is not present in memory. Nominally, the
purpose of the probe instruction is determine whether read or write
access to a given address is allowed.

This fixes a problem in function pointer comparison noticed in the
glibc testsuite (stdio-common/tst-vfprintf-user-type). The same
problem is likely in glibc (_dl_lookup_address).

V2 adds flush and lpa instruction support to handle_nadtlb_fault.

[ Upstream commit f839e5f1cef36ce268950c387129b1bfefdaebc9 ]

When a page is not present, we get non-access data TLB faults from
the fdc and fic instructions in flush_user_dcache_range_asm and
flush_user_icache_range_asm. When these occur, the cache line is
not invalidated and potentially we get memory corruption. The
problem was hidden by the nullification of the flush instructions.

These faults also affect performance. With pa8800/pa8900 processors,
there will be 32 faults per 4 KB page since the cache line is 128
bytes.  There will be more faults with earlier processors.

The problem is fixed by using flush_cache_pages(). It does the flush
using a tmp alias mapping.

The flush_cache_pages() call in flush_cache_range() flushed too
large a range.

V2: Remove unnecessary preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() calls.

<title>parisc/unaligned: Fix fldd and fstd unaligned handlers on 32-bit kernel</title>

<id>dd2288f4a020d693360e3e8d72f8b9d9c25f5ef6</id>
<content type='text'>
Usually the kernel provides fixup routines to emulate the fldd and fstd
floating-point instructions if they load or store 8-byte from/to a not
natuarally aligned memory location.

On a 32-bit kernel I noticed that those unaligned handlers didn't worked and
instead the application got a SEGV.
While checking the code I found two problems:

First, the OPCODE_FLDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L cases were ifdef'ed out by the
CONFIG_PA20 option, and as such those weren't built on a pure 32-bit kernel.
This is now fixed by moving the CONFIG_PA20 #ifdef to prevent the compilation
of OPCODE_LDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L only, and handling the fldd and fstd
instructions.

The second problem are two bugs in the 32-bit inline assembly code, where the
wrong registers where used. The calculation of the natural alignment used %2
(vall) instead of %3 (ior), and the first word was stored back to address %1
(valh) instead of %3 (ior).
