%g4 and %g5 are fixed registers used by the kernel for the thread
pointer and the per-cpu offset.  Use %o4 and %g7 instead.

Mikael Pettersson reported that some test programs in the strace-4.18
testsuite cause an OOPS.

After some debugging it turns out that garbage values are returned
when an exception occurs, causing the fixup memset() to be run with
bogus arguments.

The problem is that two of the exception handler stubs write the
successfully copied length into the wrong register.

Pull Kbuild thin archives updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.

  THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature
  only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different
  intermediate-artifact schemes.

  Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has
  various advantages:

   - save disk space for builds

   - speed-up building a little

   - fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to more
     flexibility for the final linking

   - work better with dead code elimination we are planning

  As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally so
  that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect".

  With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
  showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now"

* tag 'kbuild-thinar-v4.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
  tile: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile
  kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs
  x86/um: thin archives build fix

The following regex in Makefile.build matches only one ___EXPORT_SYMBOL per line.

sed
's/.*___EXPORT_SYMBOL[[:space:]]*\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)[[:space:]]*,.*/EXPORT_SYMBOL(\1);/'

ATOMIC_OPS macro in atomic_64.S expands multiple symbols in same line hence
version generation is done only for the last matched symbol. This patch adds
new line between the symbol expansions.

<title>sparc64: fix fault handling in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S</title>

<content type='text'>
When any of the functions contained in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S
vector through *bzero_from_clear_user, we may end up taking a
fault when executing one of the store alternate address space
instructions. If this happens, the exception handler does not
restore the %asi register.

This commit fixes the issue by introducing a new exception
handler that ensures the %asi register is restored when
a fault is handled.

  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

  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.
