commit efb3e34b6176d30c4fe8635fa8e1beb6280cc2cd upstream.

When p3_ioremap() was converted to ioremap_prot() there was some breakage
introduced where the 29-bit segmentation logic would trap the area range
and return an identity mapping without having allowed the area
specification to force mapping through page tables. This wires up a PCC
mask for pgprot verification to work out whether to short-circuit the
identity mapping on legacy parts, restoring the previous behaviour.

commit d8b5fc01683c66060edc202d6bb5635365822181 upstream.

Add missing consts to the sys_execve() declaration which result in the
following error:

arch/sh/kernel/process_32.c:303: error: conflicting types for 'sys_execve'
/warthog/nfs/linux-2.6-fscache/arch/sh/include/asm/syscalls_32.h:24: error: previous declaration of 'sys_execve' was here

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't.  The list includes:

 (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
     syscalls and some mount syscalls.

 (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

 (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt).  So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers.  We have only one user of the API in tree.  Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.

Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all.  It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all.  It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.

Let's remove this API.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).  So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment.  So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1.  This patch also fixes this
issue.

<title>dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN</title>

Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed
buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others).  So
we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

This patch:

dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA
alignment restriction).  However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if
architectures doesn't define it.

Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub
(except for crypto).
