commit 24d68db713d63dfe3660c56b50e887784844baea upstream.

Move irq_set_chip_and_handler() and irq_set_status_flags() calls
outside the io7-&gt;irq_lock raw spinlock.  These functions take
sparse_irq_lock, which is a mutex, and taking a sleeping lock while
holding a raw spinlock is invalid.  The raw spinlock only needs to
protect the hardware CSR accesses.

This fixes the following lockdep splat during boot:

  [ BUG: Invalid wait context ]

  sparse_irq_lock{....}-{4:4}, at: irq_mark_irq
  other info that might help us debug this:

Pass base + i to irq_set_status_flags() to match the IRQ number
used in irq_set_chip_and_handler(). Previously, IRQ_LEVEL was set
on the wrong (low-numbered) IRQ descriptors rather than the IO7
IRQs at base + i.

commit 651fb94aaf245430590216d497fb8b02dd73d5f9 upstream.

pci_legacy_write() in arch/alpha/kernel/pci-sysfs.c passes its arguments to
outb(), outw() and outl() in the wrong order:

  outb(port, val);

The Alpha I/O accessors in arch/alpha/include/asm/io.h take the value first
and the port second:

  extern void outb(u8 b, unsigned long port);

So the port number is written as data to the I/O address taken from the
user-supplied value, and the intended write to the requested port never
happens.

The arguments have been reversed since the file was added, and the function
returns the access size regardless, so the caller sees success while the
requested port is left untouched.

<title>alpha: don't leak hardware-fabricated FP exception bits to user space</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7b5771d0bf176c6090921785c56e23920b4ae614</id>
<content type='text'>
commit bcfe3187412e342b4619efb92c945f073855ebc0 upstream.

On EV6 and later the hardware records exception status bits in the FPCR
before delivering a software completion trap, and those bits can be wrong
for the instruction that trapped.  Converting a double that is exactly
representable as a subnormal float sets FPCR_UNF even though the result
is exact, and an underflow trap additionally sets FPCR_INE even when the
emulated operation turns out to be exact.

alpha_fp_emul() only wrote the FPCR when soft-fp raised an exception, so
whenever it determined that the instruction was exact the fabricated bits
stayed in the FPCR and were reported to user space by fetestexcept().

Pass the exception summary register down from do_entArith() so the
handler can tell which exceptions the hardware attributed to the trapping
instruction, and always write the FPCR.  Clear the exceptions that the
trap reported but that soft-fp did not raise.  EXC_SUM reports only the
underflow or overflow when the hardware also set INE, so treat INE as a
candidate in that case, and treat a trap with no reported exception as a
denormal operand trap, for which the hardware can fabricate INE and UNF
as well.  Bits that software has already confirmed in ieee_state belong
to this or an earlier instruction and are never cleared.

The imprecise path passes no summary.  There the trap was taken somewhere
in the trap shadow, so EXC_SUM is not attribution for the instruction
being re-executed -- and only EV6, which traps precisely and so never
takes that path, has fabricated bits to clear.  For the same reason the
clearing is guarded by implver(), matching swcr_update_status().

On an UP1500 (EV68) this takes the glibc math testsuite from 831 failures
to 28, the remainder being unrelated to exception status.

This belongs with the preceding fix to ieee_swcr_to_fpcr(), and should
not be backported without it -- nor it without this.  That fix stops
FPCR_DNOD being set unconditionally, so denormal operand traps start
firing again.  Those traps very often find an exact result, which is
precisely the case where the old code left the FPCR unwritten and the
fabricated bits visible.  Applied alone it would make spurious exception
flags more common, not less.

One case cannot be resolved here: an inexact instruction without the
software completion suffix never traps, so its INE reaches the FPCR
without being recorded anywhere else.  Such a bit is indistinguishable
from an INE the hardware fabricated for a trapping instruction, and is
lost if an underflow or overflow trap with an exact result follows it.
The FPCR is the only record of those instructions and it carries no
attribution.

The bug predates the git history, so there is no commit to reference in a
Fixes tag.

<id>urn:sha1:e5038d7f36037fc4ffc41b1a7dcd295bab7d7a04</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 49672d026cc4773608e1222b69b29fd70f41336b upstream.

ieee_swcr_to_fpcr() converts the software IEEE trap-enable and status
bits kept in thread_info.ieee_state into the hardware FPCR format.  It
contained:

	fp |= (~sw &amp; IEEE_TRAP_ENABLE_DNO) &lt;&lt; 41;

FPCR_DNOD (bit 47) disables denormal operand traps: with it set the
hardware handles a denormal operand itself, treating it as zero, instead
of trapping for software completion.  The intent was to set DNOD when the
user has not asked for SIGFPE on denormal operands, but
IEEE_TRAP_ENABLE_DNO is clear by default, so ieee_swcr_to_fpcr(0) always
set DNOD.

Instructions built with the software completion suffix therefore never
trapped on a denormal operand.  The hardware silently substituted zero
and produced wrong results, affecting every program compiled with -mieee
and default FPU settings, glibc included.

Set FPCR_DNOD only when IEEE_MAP_DMZ is requested, which is exactly the
case where flushing denormal inputs to zero is what the user asked for.
DNOD then encodes MAP_DMZ, which ieee_fpcr_to_swcr() already recovers
from FPCR_DNZ, so drop its attempt to recover IEEE_TRAP_ENABLE_DNO from
DNOD; the DNO trap enable lives solely in ieee_state.

Both functions are in a uapi header, so the encoding change is visible to
userspace, but nothing outside the kernel is known to depend on DNOD
carrying the DNO trap enable, and the kernel is the only writer of the
FPCR.

This must not be backported on its own.  Re-enabling denormal operand
traps exposes a second bug, fixed in the following patch: those traps
usually find an exact result, and for an exact result the emulator did
not write the FPCR back, leaving hardware-fabricated exception bits
visible to user space.  Taken alone this change would make spurious
exception flags more common.

The bug predates the git history, so there is no commit to reference in a
Fixes tag.

Similar in nature to ab107276607af90b13a5994997e19b7b9731e251. glibc-2.42
drops the legacy termio struct, but the ioctls.h header still defines some
TC* constants in terms of termio (via sizeof). Hardcode the values instead.

This fixes building Python for example, which falls over like:
  ./Modules/termios.c:1119:16: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio'

[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

[ Upstream commit b029628be267cba3c7684ec684749fe3e4372398 ]

Richard Henderson &lt;richard.henderson@linaro.org&gt; writes[1]:

&gt; There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran
&gt; twice as fast with 32-bit pointers.
&gt;
&gt; I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work
&gt; to allow the toolchain to take advantage.
&gt;
&gt; Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a
&gt; 32-bit address space, specifically because of this.
&gt;
&gt; I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would
&gt; notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users.

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation.  In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.

Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.

As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set.  Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.
