Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:

 1) System call tracing doesn't handle register contents properly across
    the trace.  From Mike Frysinger.

 2) Hook up copy_file_range

 3) Build fix for 32-bit with newer tools.

 4) New sun4v watchdog driver, from Wim Coekaerts.

 5) Set context system call has to allow for servicable faults when we
    flush the register windows to memory

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc:
  sparc64: Fix sparc64_set_context stack handling.
  sparc32: Add -Wa,-Av8 to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Like a signal return, we should use synchronize_user_stack() rather
than flush_user_windows().

Replace calls to get_random_int() followed by a cast to (unsigned long)
with calls to get_random_long().  Also address shifting bug which, in
case of x86 removed entropy mask for mmap_rnd_bits values &gt; 31 bits.

This driver adds sparc hypervisor watchdog support. The default
timeout is 60 seconds and the range is between 1 and
31536000 seconds. Both watchdog-resolution and
watchdog-max-timeout MD properties settings are supported.

A system call trace trigger on entry allows the tracing
process to inspect and potentially change the traced
process's registers.

Account for that by reloading the %g1 (syscall number)
and %i0-%i5 (syscall argument) values.  We need to be
careful to revalidate the range of %g1, and reload the
system call table entry it corresponds to into %l7.

<title>sparc64: fix incorrect sign extension in sys_sparc64_personality</title>

<id>525fd5a94e1be0776fa652df5c687697db508c91</id>
<content type='text'>
The value returned by sys_personality has type "long int".
It is saved to a variable of type "int", which is not a problem
yet because the type of task_struct-&gt;pesonality is "unsigned int".
The problem is the sign extension from "int" to "long int"
that happens on return from sys_sparc64_personality.

For example, a userspace call personality((unsigned) -EINVAL) will
result to any subsequent personality call, including absolutely
harmless read-only personality(0xffffffff) call, failing with
errno set to EINVAL.

A repeating pattern in drivers has become to use OF node information
and, if not found, platform specific host information to extract the
ethernet address for a given device.

Currently this is done with a call to of_get_mac_address() and then
some ifdef'd stuff for SPARC.

Consolidate this into a portable routine, and provide the
arch_get_platform_mac_address() weak function hook for all
architectures to implement if they want.
