Pull uaccess unification updates from Al Viro:
 "This is the uaccess unification pile. It's _not_ the end of uaccess
  work, but the next batch of that will go into the next cycle. This one
  mostly takes copy_from_user() and friends out of arch/* and gets the
  zero-padding behaviour in sync for all architectures.

  Dealing with the nocache/writethrough mess is for the next cycle;
  fortunately, that's x86-only. Same for cleanups in iov_iter.c (I am
  sold on access_ok() in there, BTW; just not in this pile), same for
  reducing __copy_... callsites, strn*... stuff, etc. - there will be a
  pile about as large as this one in the next merge window.

The ia64 build generates many warnings like this:

   WARNING: EXPORT symbol "empty_zero_page" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.

Besides adding the necessary header this also requires fiddling with
some explicit .S -&gt; .o rules.

Here we have another kind of deviation from the default case -
a difference between exporting functions and non-functions.
EXPORT_DATA_SYMBOL... is really different from EXPORT_SYMBOL...
on ia64, and we need to use the right one when moving exports
from *.c where C compiler has the required information to
*.S, where we need to supply it manually.

parisc64 will be another one like that.

<title>[kbuild] handle exports in lib-y objects reliably</title>

Collect the symbols exported by anything that goes into lib.a and
add an empty object (lib-exports.o) with explicit undefs for each
of those to obj-y.

That allows to relax the rules regarding the use of exports in
lib-* objects - right now an object with export can be in lib-*
only if we are guaranteed that there always will be users in
built-in parts of the tree, otherwise it needs to be in obj-*.
As the result, we have an unholy mix of lib- and obj- in lib/Makefile
and (especially) in arch/*/lib/Makefile.  Moreover, a change in
generic part of the kernel can lead to mysteriously missing exports
on some configs.  With this change we don't have to worry about
that anymore.

One side effect is that built-in.o now pulls everything with exports
from the corresponding lib.a (if such exists).  That's exactly what
we want for linking vmlinux and fortunately it's almost the only thing
built-in.o is used in.  arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/bootloader is the only
exception and it's easy to get rid of now - just turn everything in
arch/ia64/lib into lib-* and don't bother with arch/ia64/lib/built-in.o
anymore.

<title>ipv4: Update parameters for csum_tcpudp_magic to their original types</title>

<id>01cfbad79a5e2b835abf6a8154a341d75a6fc8cd</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
inputs.  For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
is actually an unsigned 8 bit value.  The length is usually populated based
on skb-&gt;len which is an unsigned integer.

This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb-&gt;len while
csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits.  As a result we could
run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
protocol agnostic way to update it.

With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
"(len + proto) &lt;&lt; 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
the inner headers at ~64K in size.

I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
value.

I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
the addresses.  Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
were in sync going forward.
