commit ef7254a595912b026d80a4116b8c4cd5b79d9c62 upstream.

Change HOST_EXTRACFLAGS to include arch/x86/include/uapi along
with include/uapi.

This looks more consistent, and this fixes "make bzImage" on my
old distro which doesn't have asm/bitsperlong.h in /usr/include/.

commit 0a4f59d6e09ef16fbb7d213cfa1bf472c7845fda upstream.

The build-time tool arch/x86/vdso/vdso2c.c includes &lt;linux/elf.h&gt;,
but cannot find it, unless the build host happens to provide it.

It should be reading the uapi linux/elf.h

This build regression came along with the vdso2c changes between
v3.15 and v3.16.

commit 7a6cb0abe1aa63334f3ded6d2b6c8eca80e72302 upstream.

Avoid entering "RTC-only mode" at poweroff. It is unsupported by most
versions of BeagleBone, and risks hardware damage.

The damaging configuration is having system-power-controller
without ti,pmic-shutdown-controller.

Commit 334c86c494b9 ("MIPS: IRQ: Add stackoverflow detection") added
kernel stack overflow detection, however it only enabled it conditional
upon the preprocessor definition DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, which is never
actually defined. The Kconfig option is called DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW,
which manifests to the preprocessor as CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, so
switch it to using that definition instead.

commit 9dd6f1c166bc6e7b582f6203f2dc023ec65e3ed5 upstream.

Due to a typo the illegal access interrupt is never cleared in by
the interupt handler, causing an effective deadlock on the first
illegal access.

This was broken since the code was introduced in 5433acd81e87 ("MIPS:
ralink: add illegal access driver"), but only exposed when the Kconfig
symbol was added, thus enabling the code.

<title>x86/asm/irq: Stop relying on magic JMP behavior for early_idt_handlers</title>

<id>99124e4db5b7b70daeaaf1d88a6a8078a0004c6e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 425be5679fd292a3c36cb1fe423086708a99f11a upstream.

The early_idt_handlers asm code generates an array of entry
points spaced nine bytes apart.  It's not really clear from that
code or from the places that reference it what's going on, and
the code only works in the first place because GAS never
generates two-byte JMP instructions when jumping to global
labels.

Clean up the code to generate the correct array stride (member size)
explicitly. This should be considerably more robust against
screw-ups, as GAS will warn if a .fill directive has a negative
count.  Using '. =' to advance would have been even more robust
(it would generate an actual error if it tried to move
backwards), but it would pad with nulls, confusing anyone who
tries to disassemble the code.  The new scheme should be much
clearer to future readers.

While we're at it, improve the comments and rename the array and
common code.

Binutils may start relaxing jumps to non-weak labels.  If so,
this change will fix our build, and we may need to backport this
change.

Before, on x86_64:

commit 425be5679fd292a3c36cb1fe423086708a99f11a upstream.

The early_idt_handlers asm code generates an array of entry
points spaced nine bytes apart.  It's not really clear from that
code or from the places that reference it what's going on, and
the code only works in the first place because GAS never
generates two-byte JMP instructions when jumping to global
labels.

Clean up the code to generate the correct array stride (member size)
explicitly. This should be considerably more robust against
screw-ups, as GAS will warn if a .fill directive has a negative
count.  Using '. =' to advance would have been even more robust
(it would generate an actual error if it tried to move
backwards), but it would pad with nulls, confusing anyone who
tries to disassemble the code.  The new scheme should be much
clearer to future readers.

While we're at it, improve the comments and rename the array and
common code.

Binutils may start relaxing jumps to non-weak labels.  If so,
this change will fix our build, and we may need to backport this
change.

[ Upstream commit 3f7352bf21f8fd7ba3e2fcef9488756f188e12be ]

x86 has variable length encoding. x86 JIT compiler is trying
to pick the shortest encoding for given bpf instruction.
While doing so the jump targets are changing, so JIT is doing
multiple passes over the program. Typical program needs 3 passes.
Some very short programs converge with 2 passes. Large programs
may need 4 or 5. But specially crafted bpf programs may hit the
pass limit and if the program converges on the last iteration
the JIT compiler will be producing an image full of 'int 3' insns.
Fix this corner case by doing final iteration over bpf program.
