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.
  Add sun4v_wdt watchdog driver
  sparc: Fix system call tracing register handling.
  sparc: Hook up copy_file_range syscall.

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

Binutils used to be (erroneously) extremely permissive about
instruction usage.  But that got fixed and if you don't properly tell
it to accept classes of instructions it will fail.

This uncovered a specs bug on sparc in gcc where it wouldn't pass the
proper options to binutils options.

Deal with this in the kernel build by adding -Wa,-Av8 to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

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

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.

Sparc already uses the same code as the generic code for the PCI
implementation but just fails the call sbus.  This moves to the generic
implemenation which eventually return -EIO due to the NULL dma_mask
pointer in the device.
