commit e60fc5aa608eb38b47ba4ee058f306f739eb70a0 upstream.

On a 64bit kernel build the compiler aligns the _sifields union in the
struct siginfo_t on a 64bit address. The __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE define
compensates for this alignment and thus fixes the wait testcase of the
strace package.

The symptoms of a wrong __ARCH_SI_PREAMBLE_SIZE value is that
_sigchld.si_stime variable is missed to be copied and thus after a
copy_siginfo() will have uninitialized values.

<title>parisc: Fix syscall restarts</title>

commit 71a71fb5374a23be36a91981b5614590b9e722c3 upstream.

On parisc syscalls which are interrupted by signals sometimes failed to
restart and instead returned -ENOSYS which in the worst case lead to
userspace crashes.
A similiar problem existed on MIPS and was fixed by commit e967ef02
("MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls").

On parisc the current syscall restart code assumes that all syscall
callers load the syscall number in the delay slot of the ble
instruction. That's how it is e.g. done in the unistd.h header file:
	ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
	ldi #syscall_nr, %r20
Because of that assumption the current code never restored %r20 before
returning to userspace.

This assumption is at least not true for code which uses the glibc
syscall() function, which instead uses this syntax:
	ble 0x100(%sr2, %r0)
	copy regX, %r20
where regX depend on how the compiler optimizes the code and register
usage.

This patch fixes this problem by adding code to analyze how the syscall
number is loaded in the delay branch and - if needed - copy the syscall
number to regX prior returning to userspace for the syscall restart.

<content type='text'>
commit d0cf62fb63f760e98244d31396b3b58f3a1e326b upstream.

This patch fixes some bugs and partly cleans up the parisc uapi header
files to what glibc defined:
- compat_semid64_ds was wrong and did not take the endianess into
  account
- ipc64_perm exported userspace types which broke building userspace
  packages on debian (e.g. trinity)
- ipc64_perm needs to use a 32bit mode_t on 64bit kernel
- msqid64_ds and semid64_ds needs unsigned longs for various struct members
- shmid64_ds exported size_t instead of __kernel_size_t

And finally add some compile-time checks for the sizes of those structs
to avoid future breakage.

Runtime-tested with the Linux Test Project (LTP) testsuite.

The attached change fixes the condition used in the "sub" instruction.
A double word comparison is needed.  This fixes the 64-bit LWS CAS
operation on 64-bit kernels.

I can now enable 64-bit atomic support in GCC.

<title>parisc: Filter out spurious interrupts in PA-RISC irq handler</title>
<updated>2015-09-08T13:31:16+00:00</updated>

<name>Helge Deller</name>

<id>b1b4e435e4ef7de77f07bf2a42c8380b960c2d44</id>
<content type='text'>
When detecting a serial port on newer PA-RISC machines (with iosapic) we have a
long way to go to find the right IRQ line, registering it, then registering the
serial port and the irq handler for the serial port. During this phase spurious
interrupts for the serial port may happen which then crashes the kernel because
the action handler might not have been set up yet.

So, basically it's a race condition between the serial port hardware and the
CPU which sets up the necessary fields in the irq sructs. The main reason for
this race is, that we unmask the serial port irqs too early without having set
up everything properly before (which isn't easily possible because we need the
IRQ number to register the serial ports).

This patch is a work-around for this problem. It adds checks to the CPU irq
handler to verify if the IRQ action field has been initialized already. If not,
we just skip this interrupt (which isn't critical for a serial port at bootup).
The real fix would probably involve rewriting all PA-RISC specific IRQ code
(for CPU, IOSAPIC, GSC and EISA) to use IRQ domains with proper parenting of
the irq chips and proper irq enabling along this line.

This bug has been in the PA-RISC port since the beginning, but the crashes
happened very rarely with currently used hardware.  But on the latest machine
which I bought (a C8000 workstation), which uses the fastest CPUs (4 x PA8900,
1GHz) and which has the largest possible L1 cache size (64MB each), the kernel
crashed at every boot because of this race. So, without this patch the machine
would currently be unuseable.

For the record, here is the flow logic:
1. serial_init_chip() in 8250_gsc.c calls iosapic_serial_irq().
2. iosapic_serial_irq() calls txn_alloc_irq() to find the irq.
3. iosapic_serial_irq() calls cpu_claim_irq() to register the CPU irq
4. cpu_claim_irq() unmasks the CPU irq (which it shouldn't!)
5. serial_init_chip() then registers the 8250 port.
Problems:
- In step 4 the CPU irq shouldn't have been registered yet, but after step 5
- If serial irq happens between 4 and 5 have finished, the kernel will crash
