[ Upstream commit d8b1e10a2b8efaf71d151aa756052fbf2f3b6d57 ]

Guenter reported [1] that the pci_iounmap() changes remain problematic,
with sparc64 allnoconfig and tinyconfig still not building due to the
header file changes and confusion with the arch-specific pci_iounmap()
implementation.

I'm pretty convinced that sparc should just use GENERIC_IOMAP instead of
doing its own thing, since it turns out that the sparc64 version of
pci_iounmap() is somewhat buggy (see [2]).  But in the meantime, this
just fixes the build by avoiding the trivial re-definition of the empty
case.

<title>sparc32: fix a user-triggerable oops in clear_user()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7780918b36489f0b2f9a3749d7be00c2ceaec513 upstream.

Back in 2.1.29 the clear_user() guts (__bzero()) had been merged
with memset().  Unfortunately, while all exception handlers had been
copied, one of the exception table entries got lost.  As the result,
clear_user() starting at 128*n bytes before the end of page and
spanning between 8 and 127 bytes into the next page would oops when
the second page is unmapped.  It's trivial to reproduce - all
it takes is

main()
{
	int fd = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
	char *p = mmap(NULL, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
			MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, -1, 0);
	munmap(p + 8192, 8192);
	read(fd, p + 8192 - 128, 192);
}

which had been oopsing since March 1997.  Says something about
the quality of test coverage... ;-/  And while today sparc32 port
is nearly dead, back in '97 it had been very much alive; in fact,
sparc64 had only been in mainline for 3 months by that point...

[ Upstream commit 0ede1c401332173ab0693121dc6cde04a4dbf131 ]

Mikael Pettersson reported that some test programs in the strace-4.18
testsuite cause an OOPS.

After some debugging it turns out that garbage values are returned
when an exception occurs, causing the fixup memset() to be run with
bogus arguments.

The problem is that two of the exception handler stubs write the
successfully copied length into the wrong register.

Now that all of the user copy routines are converted to return
accurate residual lengths when an exception occurs, we no longer need
the broken fixup routines.
