The only user of thread_saved_pc() in non-arch-specific code was removed
in commit 8243d5597793 ("sched/core: Remove pointless printout in
sched_show_task()").  Remove the implementations as well.

Some architectures use thread_saved_pc() in their arch-specific code.
Leave their thread_saved_pc() intact.

<title>uapi: export all headers under uapi directories</title>

<id>fcc8487d477a3452a1d0ccbdd4c5e0e1e3cb8bed</id>
<content type='text'>
Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.

After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
exported (with make headers_install_all):
asm-arc/kvm_para.h
asm-arc/ucontext.h
asm-blackfin/shmparam.h
asm-blackfin/ucontext.h

Note that I have removed from this list the files which are generated in every
exported directories (like .install or .install.cmd).

Thanks to Julien Floret &lt;julien.floret@6wind.com&gt; for the tip to get all
subdirs with a pure makefile command.

For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of
files listed by:
 - include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm;
 - arch/&lt;arch&gt;/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild;
 - arch/&lt;arch&gt;/include/asm/Kbuild.

In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set -&gt;min_delta_ticks and
-&gt;max_delta_ticks rather than -&gt;min_delta_ns and -&gt;max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

Make the c6x arch's clockevent driver initialize these fields properly.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) -&gt;min_delta_ns
and -&gt;max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of -&gt;min_delta_ns and -&gt;max_delta_ns from this
driver.

<title>debug: Fix __bug_table[] in arch linker scripts</title>

The kbuild test robot reported this build failure on a number
of architectures:

 &gt;         make.cross ARCH=arm
 &gt;    lib/lib.a(bug.o): In function `find_bug':
 &gt; &gt;&gt; lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__start___bug_table'
 &gt; &gt;&gt; lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__stop___bug_table'

Caused by:

  19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

<title>Merge branch 'regset' (PTRACE_SETREGSET data leakage)</title>

Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin:
 "This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that
  have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches,

  The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace
  to attack the kernel directly.  The affected architectures are c6x,
  h8300, metag, mips and sparc.

  [ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to
    prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it
    doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ]

  The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of
  user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways:

   1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be
      the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common
      approach.)

   2) Copy to a local variable and then transfer to thread_struct. (A
      significant minority of cases.)

  Buggy code typically involves approach 2"

* emailed patches from Dave Martin &lt;Dave.Martin@arm.com&gt;:
  sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
  mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
  metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes
  metag/ptrace: Provide default TXSTATUS for short NT_PRSTATUS
  metag/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
  h8300/ptrace: Fix incorrect register transfer count
  c6x/ptrace: Remove useless PTRACE_SETREGSET implementation

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the
correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task
layout.

So, just remove it.  The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when
trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct
implementation is supplied.
