[ Upstream commit cb3042d609e30e6144024801c89be3925106752b ]

In arch_cpu_idle() we must enable %pil based interrupts before
potentially invoking the hypervisor cpu yield call.

As per the Hypervisor API documentation for cpu_yield:

	Interrupts which are blocked by some mechanism other that
	pstate.ie (for example %pil) are not guaranteed to cause
	a return from this service.

It seems that only first generation Niagara chips are hit by this
bug.  My best guess is that later chips implement this in hardware
and wake up anyways from %pil events, whereas in first generation
chips the yield is implemented completely in hypervisor code and
requires %pil to be enabled in order to wake properly from this
call.

Fixes: 87fa05aeb3a5 ("sparc: Use generic idle loop")

<title>sparc64: don't treat 64-bit syscall return codes as 32-bit</title>

[ Upstream commit 1535bd8adbdedd60a0ee62e28fd5225d66434371 ]

When checking a system call return code for an error,
linux_sparc_syscall was sign-extending the lower 32-bit value and
comparing it to -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. lseek can return valid return
codes whose lower 32-bits alone would indicate a failure (such as 4G-1).
Use the whole 64-bit value to check for errors. Only the 32-bit path
should sign extend the lower 32-bit value.

So lets do the same to fit generic idle loop scheme better.

CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL requires possibility of smp_send_reschedule()
for the calling CPU. Currently, it is used in inc_nr_running()
scheduler primitive only.

Nobody calls smp_send_reschedule() from preemptible context
(furthermore, it looks like it will be save if anybody use it
another way in the future). But anyway I add WARN_ON() here
just to return here if anything changes.
