commit d1b6ba82a50cecf94be540a3a153aa89d97511a0 upstream.

Remove restoring a6 on some return paths and instead modify and restore
it in a single place, using symbolic name.
Correctly restore a7 from PT_AREG7 in case of illegal a6 value.

<title>xtensa: fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 region handling in fast_second_level_miss</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7128039fe2dd3d59da9e4ffa036f3aaa3ba87b9f upstream.

Current definition of TLBTEMP_BASE_2 is always 32K above the
TLBTEMP_BASE_1, whereas fast_second_level_miss handler for the TLBTEMP
region analyzes virtual address bit (PAGE_SHIFT + DCACHE_ALIAS_ORDER)
to determine TLBTEMP region where the fault happened. The size of the
TLBTEMP region is also checked incorrectly: not 64K, but twice data
cache way size (whicht may as well be less than the instruction cache
way size).

Fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 to be TLBTEMP_BASE_1 + data cache way size.
Provide TLBTEMP_SIZE that is a greater of doubled data cache way size or
the instruction cache way size, and use it to determine if the second
level TLB miss occured in the TLBTEMP region.

Practical occurence of page faults in the TLBTEMP area is extremely
rare, this code can be tested by deletion of all w[di]tlb instructions
in the tlbtemp_mapping region.

commit 52247123749cc3cbc30168b33ad8c69515c96d23 upstream.

With SMP and a lot of debug options enabled task_struct::thread gets out
of reach of s32i/l32i instructions with base pointing at task_struct,
breaking build with the following messages:

  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1002: Error: operand 3 of 'l32i.n' has invalid value '1048'
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1831: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1040'
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1832: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1044'

Change base to point to task_struct::thread in such cases.
Don't use a10 in _switch_to to save/restore prev pointer as a2 is not
clobbered.

commit 1ca49463c44c970b1ab1d71b0f268bfdf8427a7e upstream.

Virtual address is translated to the XCHAL_KSEG_CACHED region in the
dma_free_coherent, but is checked to be in the 0...XCHAL_KSEG_SIZE
range.

Change check for end of the range from 'addr &gt;= X' to 'addr &gt; X - 1' to
handle the case of X == 0.

Replace 'if (C) BUG();' construct with 'BUG_ON(C);'.

commit e2fd1374c705abe4661df3fb6fadb3879c7c1846 upstream.

Most in-kernel users want registers spilled on the kernel stack and
don't require PS.EXCM to be set. That means that they don't need fixup
routine and could reuse regular window overflow mechanism for that,
which makes spill routine very simple.

commit cba9a90053e3b7973eff4f1946f33032e98eeed5 upstream.

According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating
thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack
corruption among cloned threads), current-&gt;sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned
processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate
signal stack in this case. This has been broken since commit 29c4dfd9 ([XTENSA]
Remove non-rt signal handling).

Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc.

commit c5a771d0678f9613e9f89cf1a5bdcfa5b08b225b upstream.

The virtual address of boot parameters chain is passed to the kernel via
a2 register. Adjust it in case it is remapped during MMUv3 -&gt; MMUv2
mapping change, i.e. when it is in the first 128M.

Also fix interpretation of initrd and FDT addresses passed in the boot
parameters: these are physical addresses.

IRQ handlers are expected to run with IRQs disabled.
See e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/380931/ for a longer story.

This was overlooked in the commit
  2d1c645 xtensa: dispatch medium-priority interrupts
Revert to old behavior and simplify interrupt entry and exit code.
Interrupt handler still honours IRQ priority.

do_notify_resume/schedule must be called with interrupts enabled, enable
interrupts if we return from user exception.
