commit f1caa61df2a3dc4c58316295c5dc5edba4c68d85 upstream.

Ondrej reported that IRQs stopped working in v4.7 on several
platforms.  A typical scenario, from Ondrej's VT82C694X/694X, is:

ACPI: Using PIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 1 3 4 5 6 7 10 *11 12 14 15)
ACPI: No IRQ available for PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA]
8139too 0000:00:0f.0: PCI INT A: no GSI

We're using PIC routing, so acpi_irq_balance == 0, and LNKA is already
active at IRQ 11. In that case, acpi_pci_link_allocate() only tries
to use the active IRQ (IRQ 11) which also happens to be the SCI.

We should penalize the SCI by PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING, but
irq_get_trigger_type(11) returns something other than
IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW, so we penalize it by PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS
instead, which makes acpi_pci_link_allocate() assume the IRQ isn't
available and give up.

Add acpi_penalize_sci_irq() so platforms can tell us the SCI IRQ,
trigger, and polarity directly and we don't have to depend on
irq_get_trigger_type().

<title>s390/dumpstack: restore reliable indicator for call traces</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d0208639dbc6fe97a25054df44faa2d19aca9380 upstream.

Before merging all different stack tracers the call traces printed had
an indicator if an entry can be considered reliable or not.
Unreliable entries were put in braces, reliable not. Currently all
lines contain these extra braces.

This patch restores the old behaviour by adding an extra "reliable"
parameter to the callback functions. Only show_trace makes currently
use of it.

Before:
[    0.804751] Call Trace:
[    0.804753] ([&lt;000000000017d0e0&gt;] try_to_wake_up+0x318/0x5e0)
[    0.804756] ([&lt;0000000000161d64&gt;] create_worker+0x174/0x1c0)

After:
[    0.804751] Call Trace:
[    0.804753] ([&lt;000000000017d0e0&gt;] try_to_wake_up+0x318/0x5e0)

<title>arc: Implement arch-specific dma_map_ops.mmap</title>

commit a79a812131b07254c09cf325ec68c0d05aaed0b5 upstream.

We used to use generic implementation of dma_map_ops.mmap which is
dma_common_mmap() but that only worked for simpler cached mappings when
vaddr = paddr.

If a driver requests uncached DMA buffer kernel maps it to virtual
address so that MMU gets involved and page uncached status takes into
account. In that case usage of dma_common_mmap() lead to mapping of
vaddr to vaddr for user-space which is obviously wrong. For more detals
please refer to verbose explanation here [1].

So here we implement our own version of mmap() which always deals
with dma_addr and maps underlying memory to user-space properly
(note that DMA buffer mapped to user-space is always uncached
because there's no way to properly manage cache from user-space).

commit 922cc171998ac3dbe74d57011ef7ed57e9b0d7df upstream.

The current code doesn't even compile as somehow the inline assembly
can't see the register names defined as ARC_RTC_*
I'm pretty sure It worked when I first got it merged, but the tools were
definitely different then.

So better to write this in "C" anyways.

commit 237d6e6884136923b6bd26d5141ebe1d065960c9 upstream.

Since commit d86bd1bece6f ("mm/slub: support left redzone") it is no longer
guaranteed that kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) returns page aligned memory.

After the above commit we get an error for diag224 because aligned
memory is required. This leads to the following user visible error:

 # mount none -t s390_hypfs /sys/hypervisor/
 mount: unknown filesystem type 's390_hypfs'

 # dmesg | grep hypfs
 hypfs.cccfb8: The hardware system does not provide all functions
               required by hypfs
 hypfs.7a79f0: Initialization of hypfs failed with rc=-61

Fix this problem and use get_free_page() instead of kmalloc() to get
correctly aligned memory.

commit d9092f52d7e61dd1557f2db2400ddb430e85937e upstream.

Commit 41061cdb98 ("KVM: emulate: do not initialize memopp") removes a
check for non-NULL under incorrect assumptions. An undefined instruction
with a ModR/M byte with Mod=0 and R/M-5 (e.g. 0xc7 0x15) will attempt
to dereference a null pointer here.

commit d9092f52d7e61dd1557f2db2400ddb430e85937e upstream.

Commit 41061cdb98 ("KVM: emulate: do not initialize memopp") removes a
check for non-NULL under incorrect assumptions. An undefined instruction
with a ModR/M byte with Mod=0 and R/M-5 (e.g. 0xc7 0x15) will attempt
to dereference a null pointer here.

commit 04946fb60fb157faafa01658dff3131d49f49ccb upstream.

Alexander Shiyan reports that CLPS711x fails at boot time in the data
exception handler due to a NULL pointer dereference.  This is caused by
the late-v4t abort handler overwriting R9 (which becomes zero).  Fix
this by making the abort handler save and restore R9.

<title>parisc: Ensure consistent state when switching to kernel stack at syscall entry</title>

commit 6ed518328d0189e0fdf1bb7c73290d546143ea66 upstream.

We have one critical section in the syscall entry path in which we switch from
the userspace stack to kernel stack. In the event of an external interrupt, the
interrupt code distinguishes between those two states by analyzing the value of
sr7. If sr7 is zero, it uses the kernel stack. Therefore it's important, that
the value of sr7 is in sync with the currently enabled stack.

This patch now disables interrupts while executing the critical section.  This
prevents the interrupt handler to possibly see an inconsistent state which in
the worst case can lead to crashes.

Interestingly, in the syscall exit path interrupts were already disabled in the
critical section which switches back to the userspace stack.
