upstream commit ef1afd4d79f0479960ff36bb5fe6ec6eba1ebff2

commit 721fdf34167580ff98263c74cead8871d76936e6
Author: Kyle McMartin &lt;kyle@shortfin.cabal.ca&gt;
Date:   Thu Dec 6 09:32:15 2007 -0800

    [PARISC] print more than one character at a time for pdc console

introduced a subtle bug by accidentally removing the "static" from
iodc_dbuf. This resulted in, what appeared to be, a trap without
*current set to a task. Probably the result of a trap in real mode
while calling firmware.

Also do other misc clean ups. Since the only input from firmware is non
blocking, share iodc_dbuf between input and output, and spinlock the
only callers.

[jejb: fixed up rejections against the stable tree]

upstream commit: c20a84c91048c76c1379011c96b1a5cee5c7d9a0

commit f9e77acd4060fefbb60a351cdb8d30fca27fe194
Author: Thomas Gleixner &lt;tglx@linutronix.de&gt;
Date:   Sun Feb 24 02:10:05 2008 +0000

    futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality
 

which was backported to stable based on mainline Commit
a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea added code to futex.c
to detect whether futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic was implemented at run
time:

+       curval = cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(NULL, 0, 0);
+       if (curval == -EFAULT)
+               futex_cmpxchg_enabled = 1;

This is bogus on parisc, since page zero in kernel virtual space is the
gateway page for syscall entry, and should not be read from the kernel.
(That, and we really don't like the kernel faulting on its own address
 space...)

There's really no reason not to print more than one character at a
time to the PDC console... Booting is measurably speedier, and now I don't
have to watch individual characters get drawn.

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:

- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
  at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at -&gt;page_link
  with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
  NULL when passed such an entry.

It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.

get_rtc_time, in the case that PDC returns that the battery is bad, returns
an unmodified rtc_time arg to the caller, which then uses uninitialized
values. Fix this by memset-ing the arg with zeroes, so it will at least be
cleared if we return failure.

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion

Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is
included directly without e.g.  linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h,
forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h.  Thanks to Adrian Bunk.
