This reverts commit bc48f6f5a8c6d628a1af649306eaf906493bb986, which was
commit 9dbe6cf941a6fe82933aef565e4095fb10f65023 upstream.  It depends on
several other large commits to work, and without them causes a regression.

commit 228dbbfb5d77f8e047b2a1d78da14b7158433027 upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.

commit 2ad5d52d42810bed95100a3d912679d8864421ec upstream.

In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG &gt; 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if
BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin.

Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead.  Since we now
#include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution
by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not
exported to userspace.

This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc.

commit 178f358208ceb8b38e5cff3f815e0db4a6a70a07 upstream.

IBM bit 31 (for the rest of us - bit 0) is a reserved field in the
instruction definition of mtspr and mfspr. Hardware is encouraged to
(and does) ignore it.

As a result, if userspace executes an mtspr DSCR with the reserved bit
set, we get a DSCR facility unavailable exception. The kernel fails to
match against the expected value/mask, and we silently return to
userspace to try and re-execute the same mtspr DSCR instruction. We
loop forever until the process is killed.

We should do something here, and it seems mirroring what hardware does
is the better option vs killing the process. While here, relax the
matching of mfspr PVR too.

commit ddc37832a1349f474c4532de381498020ed71d31 upstream.

On APQ8060, the kernel crashes in arch_hw_breakpoint_init, taking an
undefined instruction trap within write_wb_reg. This is because Scorpion
CPUs erroneously appear to set DBGPRSR.SPD when WFI is issued, even if
the core is not powered down. When DBGPRSR.SPD is set, breakpoint and
watchpoint registers are treated as undefined.

It's possible to trigger similar crashes later on from userspace, by
requesting the kernel to install a breakpoint or watchpoint, as we can
go idle at any point between the reset of the debug registers and their
later use. This has always been the case.

Given that this has always been broken, no-one has complained until now,
and there is no clear workaround, disable hardware breakpoints and
watchpoints on Scorpion to avoid these issues.

commit dd853fd216d1485ed3045ff772079cc8689a9a4a upstream.

A negative number can be specified in the cmdline which will be used as
setup_clear_cpu_cap() argument. With that we can clear/set some bit in
memory predceeding boot_cpu_data/cpu_caps_cleared which may cause kernel
to misbehave. This patch adds lower bound check to setup_disablecpuid().

commit 601e6e3cc5bf6adb7d076fe24d10f6191a25ba9b upstream.

The original code causes a static checker warning because it has a
continue inside a do { } while (0); loop.  In that context, a continue
and a break are equivalent.  The intent was to go back to the start of
the loop so the continue was a bug.

I've added a retry label at the start and changed the continue to a goto
retry.  Then I removed the do { } while (0) loop and pulled the code in
one indent level.
