Do not write-protect the kernel read-only and __ro_after_init sections
earlier than before mark_rodata_ro() is called.  This fixes a boot issue on
parisc which is triggered by commit 91a1d97ef482 ("jump_label,module: Don't
alloc static_key_mod for __ro_after_init keys"). That commit may modify
static key contents in the __ro_after_init section at bootup, so this
section needs to be writable at least until mark_rodata_ro() is called.

<title>parisc: fix a possible DMA corruption</title>

ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN was defined as 16 - this is too small - it may be
possible that two unrelated 16-byte allocations share a cache line. If
one of these allocations is written using DMA and the other is written
using cached write, the value that was written with DMA may be
corrupted.

This commit changes ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to be 128 on PA20 and 32 on PA1.1 -
that's the largest possible cache line size.

As different parisc microarchitectures have different cache line size, we
define arch_slab_minalign(), cache_line_size() and
dma_get_cache_alignment() so that the kernel may tune slab cache
parameters dynamically, based on the detected cache line size.

<title>parisc: fix unaligned accesses in BPF</title>

<id>1fd2c10acb7b35d72101a4619ee5b2cddb9efd3a</id>
<content type='text'>
There were spurious unaligned access warnings when calling BPF code.
Sometimes, the warnings were triggered with any incoming packet, making
the machine hard to use.

The reason for the warnings is this: on parisc64, pointers to functions
are not really pointers to functions, they are pointers to 16-byte
descriptor. The first 8 bytes of the descriptor is a pointer to the
function and the next 8 bytes of the descriptor is the content of the
"dp" register. This descriptor is generated in the function
bpf_jit_build_prologue.

The problem is that the function bpf_int_jit_compile advertises 4-byte
alignment when calling bpf_jit_binary_alloc, bpf_jit_binary_alloc
randomizes the returned array and if the array happens to be not aligned
on 8-byte boundary, the descriptor generated in bpf_jit_build_prologue is
also not aligned and this triggers the unaligned access warning.

Fix this by advertising 8-byte alignment on parisc64 when calling
bpf_jit_binary_alloc.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

after any of commands fails, and causes make(1) to regard recipes as
failed.

Before this, make will still continue to succeed even after the
installation failed, for example, for insufficient permission or
directory does not exist.

Setting '-e' flag tells shells to exit with error exit code immediately
after any of commands fails, and causes make(1) to regard recipes as
failed.

Before this, make will still continue to succeed even after the
installation failed, for example, for insufficient permission or
directory does not exist.

<title>clone3: drop __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 macro</title>

When clone3() was introduced, it was not obvious how each architecture
deals with setting up the stack and keeping the register contents in
a fork()-like system call, so this was left for the architecture
maintainers to implement, with __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 defined by those
that already implement it.

Five years later, we still have a few architectures left that are missing
clone3(), and the macro keeps getting in the way as it's fundamentally
different from all the other __ARCH_WANT_SYS_* macros that are meant
to provide backwards-compatibility with applications using older
syscalls that are no longer provided by default.

Address this by reversing the polarity of the macro, adding an
__ARCH_BROKEN_SYS_CLONE3 macro to all architectures that don't
already provide the syscall, and remove __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
from all the other ones.

Use max() to reduce 4 lines of code to a single line and improve its
readability.

Fixes the following Coccinelle/coccicheck warning reported by
minmax.cocci:
