<title>um: use fallback for random_get_entropy() instead of zero</title>

commit 9f13fb0cd11ed2327abff69f6501a2c124c88b5a upstream.

In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
Instead, at least calling random_get_entropy_fallback() would be
preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even
falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though
random_get_entropy_fallback() is super high precision or guaranteed to
be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is
better than returning zero all the time.

This is accomplished by just including the asm-generic code like on
other architectures, which means we can get rid of the empty stub
function here.

<title>parport_pc: Also enable driver for PCI systems</title>

<id>66bcd06099bb866ee0e4349e7937ddb8f03db754</id>
<content type='text'>
Nowadays PC-style parallel ports come in the form of PCI and PCIe option
cards and there are some combined parallel/serial option cards as well
that we handle in the parport subsystem.  There is nothing in particular
that would prevent them from being used in any system equipped with PCI
or PCIe connectivity, except that we do not permit the PARPORT_PC config
option to be selected for platforms for which ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
has not been set for.

The only PCI platforms that actually can't make use of PC-style parallel
port hardware are those newer PCIe systems that have no support for I/O
cycles in the host bridge, required by such parallel ports.  Notably,
this includes the s390 arch, which has port I/O accessors that cause
compilation warnings (promoted to errors with `-Werror'), and there are
other cases such as the POWER9 PHB4 device, though this one has variable
port I/O accessors that depend on the particular system.  Also it is not
clear whether the serial port side of devices enabled by PARPORT_SERIAL
uses port I/O or MMIO.  Finally Super I/O solutions are always either
ISA or platform devices.

Make the PARPORT_PC option selectable also for PCI systems then, except
for the s390 arch, however limit the availability of PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
to platforms that enable ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT.  Update platforms
accordingly for the required &lt;asm/parport.h&gt; header.

clear whether the serial port side of devices enabled by PARPORT_SERIAL
uses port I/O or MMIO.  Finally Super I/O solutions are always either
ISA or platform devices.

Make the PARPORT_PC option selectable also for PCI systems then, except
for the s390 arch, however limit the availability of PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
to platforms that enable ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT.  Update platforms
accordingly for the required &lt;asm/parport.h&gt; header.

Call to fallocate with FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE on a device backed by a sparse
file can end up by missing data, zeroes data range, if the underlying file
is used with a tool like bmaptool which will referenced only used spaces.

Due to dropped inclusion of asm-generic/xor.h, xor_block_8regs symbol is
missing with CONFIG64 and break compilation, as the asm/xor_64.h also did
not include it. The patch recreate the logic from arch/x86, which check
whether AVX is available and add fallbacks for 32bit and 64bit config of
um.

A very minor additional "fix" is, the return of the macro parameter
instead of NULL, as this is the original intent of the macro, but
this does not change the actual behavior.

Fixes: c0ecca6604b8 ("um: enable the use of optimized xor routines in UML")
