Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller:
 "Main changes are:

   - Added support to the parisc dma functions to return DMA_ERROR_CODE
     if DMA isn't possible. This fixes a long standing kernel crash if
     parport_pc is enabled (by Thomas Bogendoerfer, marked for stable
     series).

   - Use the compat_sys_keyctl() in compat mode (by Eric Biggers, marked
     for stable series).

   - Initial support for the Page Deallocation Table (PDT) which is
     maintained by firmware and holds the list of memory addresses which
     had physical errors. By checking that list we can prevent Linux to
     use those broken memory areas.

   - Ensure IRQs are off in switch_mm().

   - Report SIGSEGV instead of SIGBUS when running out of stack.

   - Mark the cr16 clocksource stable on single-socket and single-core
     machines"

arch: remove unused macro/function thread_saved_pc()

2017-06-28T23:13:57+00:00

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.

parisc: Enhance detection of synchronous cr16 clocksources

2017-05-10T15:46:14+00:00

The cr16 clocks of the physical PARISC CPUs are usually nonsynchronous.
Nevertheless, it seems that each CPU socket (which holds two cores) of
PA8800 and PA8900 CPUs (e.g. in a C8000 workstation) is fed by the same
clock source, which makes the cr16 clocks of each CPU socket syncronous.
Let's try to detect such situations and mark the cr16 clocksource stable
on single-socket and single-core machines.

Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller:

 - add Kernel address space layout randomization support

 - re-enable interrupts earlier now that we have a working IRQ stack

 - optimize the timer interrupt function to better cope with missed
   timer irqs

 - fix error return code in parisc perf code (by Dan Carpenter)

 - fix PAT debug code

  parisc: Enhance CPU detection code on PAT machines
  parisc: Re-enable interrupts early

parisc: Optimize timer interrupt function

2016-12-20T20:39:40+00:00

Restructure the timer interrupt function to better cope with missed timer irqs.
Optimize the calculation when the next interrupt should happen and skip irqs if
they would happen too shortly after exit of the irq function.

The update_process_times() call is done anyway at every timer irq, so we can
safely drop the prof_counter and prof_multiplier variables from the per_cpu
structure.

locking/core: Provide common cpu_relax_yield() definition

2016-11-17T07:17:36+00:00

No need to duplicate the same define everywhere. Since
the only user is stop-machine and the only provider is
s390, we can use a default implementation of cpu_relax_yield()
in sched.h.

locking/core, arch: Remove cpu_relax_lowlatency()

2016-11-16T09:15:11+00:00

As there are no users left, we can remove cpu_relax_lowlatency()
implementations from every architecture.

locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()

2016-11-16T09:15:09+00:00

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

parisc: Drop definition of start_thread_som for HP-UX SOM binaries

2015-11-20T09:19:19+00:00

The definition of start_thread_som was planned to be used to execute
HP-UX SOM binaries. Since HP-UX compatibility was dropped with kernel 4.0
there is no need to carry it further.
