Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
 "Several build/bug fixes for sparc, including:

  1) Configuring a mix of static vs.  modular sparc64 crypto modules
     didn't work, remove an ill-conceived attempt to only have to build
     the device match table for these drivers once to fix the problem.

     Reported by Meelis Roos.

  2) Make the montgomery multiple/square and mpmul instructions actually
     usable in 32-bit tasks.  Essentially this involves providing 32-bit
     userspace with a way to use a 64-bit stack when it needs to.

  3) Our sparc64 atomic backoffs don't yield cpu strands properly on
     Niagara chips.  Use pause instruction when available to achieve
     this, otherwise use a benign instruction we know blocks the strand
     for some time.

  4) Wire up kcmp

  5) Fix the build of various drivers by removing the unnecessary
     blocking of OF_GPIO when SPARC.

  6) Fix unintended regression wherein of_address_to_resource stopped
     being provided.  Fix from Andreas Larsson.

  7) Fix NULL dereference in leon_handle_ext_irq(), also from Andreas
     Larsson."

226f7cea94 sparc64: Fix build with mix of modular vs. non-modular crypto drivers.
We tried linking in a single built object to hold the device table,
but only works if all of the sparc64 crypto modules get built the same
way (modular vs. non-modular).

Just include the device ID stub into each driver source file so that
the table gets compiled into the correct result in all cases.

193d2aadc0 sparc: Support atomic64_dec_if_positive properly.
Sparc32 already supported it, as a consequence of using the
generic atomic64 implementation.  And the sparc64 implementation
is rather trivial.

This allows us to set ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE for all
of sparc, and avoid the annoying warning from lib/atomic64_test.c

0bce04be44 of/address: sparc: Declare of_address_to_resource() as an extern function for sparc again
This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc
so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once
again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A
number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc.

The bug was introduced in a850a75544, "of/address:
add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the
static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never
defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in
include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in
drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However,
for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in
arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c

Booting on a system with all of its memory above the 4GB boundary breaks

f46f979fda arm64: perf: use architected event for CPU cycle counter
We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so
that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle
counter instead.

The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the
architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other
event.

This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that
we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU
implementations.

99e639b791 s390/sclp: fix addressing mode clobber
The early mini sclp driver may be called in zArch mode either in
31 or 64 bit addressing mode.
If called in 31 bit addressing mode the new external interrupt psw
however would switch to 64 bit addressing mode. This would cause an
addressing exception within the interrupt handler, since the code
didn't expect the zArch/31 bit addressing mode combination.

Fix this by setting the new psw addressing mode bits so they fit
the current addressing mode.

cf47a83fb0 xen/hypercall: fix hypercall fallback code for very old hypervisors
While copying the argument structures in HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op()
and HYPERVISOR_physdev_op() into the local variable is sufficiently
safe even if the actual structure is smaller than the container one,
copying back eventual output values the same way isn't: This may
collide with on-stack variables (particularly "rc") which may change
between the first and second memcpy() (i.e. the second memcpy() could
discard that change).

Move the fallback code into out-of-line functions, and handle all of
the operations known by this old a hypervisor individually: Some don't
require copying back anything at all, and for the rest use the
individual argument structures' sizes rather than the container's.

The kernel_thread() changes for FRV don't work, and FRV fails to boot,
starting with:

	commit 02ce496f15
	Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
	Date:   Tue Sep 18 22:18:51 2012 -0400
	Subject: frv: split ret_from_fork, simplify kernel_thread() a lot

The problem is that the userspace registers are completely cleared when a
kernel thread is created and all subsequent user threads are then copied from
that.  Unfortunately, however, the TBR and PSR registers are restored from the
pt_regs and the values they should be set to are clobbered by the memset.

Instead, copy across the old user registers as normal, and then merely alter
GR8 and GR9 in it if we're going to execute a kernel thread.

1ee6f5669a FRV: Fix the preemption handling
Fix the preemption handling in FRV code where the PREEMPT_ACTIVE value is
incorrectly loaded into the threadinfo flags rather than the threadinfo
preemption count.

Unfortunately, the code cannot be simply converted to use
preempt_schedule_irq() as is because FRV uses virtual interrupt disablement to
cut down on the cost of actually disabling interrupts and thus
local_irq_enable() doesn't actually enable interrupts.

87da7e66a4 KVM: x86: fix vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow
After commit b3356bf0db (KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handling),
the pieces of io data can be collected and write them to the guest memory
or MMIO together

Unfortunately, kvm splits the mmio access into 8 bytes and store them to
vcpu->mmio_fragments. If the guest uses "rep ins" to move large data, it
will cause vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow

The bug can be exposed by isapc (-M isapc):

[23154.818733] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
[ ......]
[23154.858083] Call Trace:

Actually, we can use one mmio_fragment to store a large mmio access then
split it when we pass the mmio-exit-info to userspace. After that, we only
need two entries to store mmio info for the cross-mmio pages access

95a7d76897 xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.
As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
do it correctly.

This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
idle guest's from one host to another.

7629a9f661 ARM: 7567/1: io: avoid GCC's offsettable addressing modes for halfword accesses
Using the 'o' memory constraint in inline assembly can result in GCC
generating invalid immediate offsets for memory access instructions with
reduced addressing capabilities (i.e. smaller than 12-bit immediate
offsets):

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54983

As there is no constraint to specify the exact addressing mode we need,
fallback to using 'Q' exclusively for halfword I/O accesses. This may
emit an additional add instruction (using an extra register) in order
to construct the address but it will always be accepted by GAS.

39141ddfb6 ARM: 7566/1: vfp: fix save and restore when running on pre-VFPv3 and CONFIG_VFPv3 set
After commit 846a136881 ("ARM: vfp: fix
saving d16-d31 vfp registers on v6+ kernels"), the OMAP 2430SDP board
started crashing during boot with omap2plus_defconfig:

[    3.875122] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD04G 3.69 GiB
[    3.915954]  mmcblk0: p1

[    4.107666] LR is at __und_usr_fault_32+0x0/0x8

It turns out that the context save/restore fix unmasked a latent bug
in commit 5aaf254409 ("ARM: 6203/1: Make
VFPv3 usable on ARMv6").  When CONFIG_VFPv3 is set, but the kernel is
booted on a pre-VFPv3 core, the code attempts to save and restore the
d16-d31 VFP registers.  These are only present on non-D16 VFPv3+, so
this results in an undefined instruction exception.  The code didn't
crash before commit 846a136 because the save and restore code was
only touching d0-d15, present on all VFP.

Fix by implementing a request from Russell King to add a new HWCAP
flag that affirmatively indicates the presence of the d16-d31
registers:

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=135013547905283&w=2

and some feedback from Måns to clarify the name of the HWCAP flag.

6a4dae5e13 ARM: 7565/1: sched: stop sched_clock() during suspend
The scheduler imposes a requirement to sched_clock()
which is to stop the clock during suspend, if we don't
do that any RT thread will be rescheduled in the future
which might cause any sort of problems.

This became an issue on OMAP when we converted omap-i2c.c
to use threaded IRQs, it turned out that depending on how
much time we spent on suspend, the I2C IRQ thread would
end up being rescheduled so far in the future that I2C
transfers would timeout and, because omap_hsmmc depends
on an I2C-connected device to detect if an MMC card is
inserted in the slot, our rootfs would just vanish.

arch/arm/kernel/sched_clock.c already had an optional
implementation (sched_clock_needs_suspend()) which would
handle scheduler's requirement properly, what this patch
does is simply to make that implementation non-optional.

Note that this has the side-effect that printk timings
won't reflect the actual time spent on suspend so other
methods to measure that will have to be used.

This has been tested with beagleboard XM (OMAP3630) and
pandaboard rev A3 (OMAP4430). Suspend to RAM is now working
after this patch.

270c10e00a sparc64: Fix cpu strand yielding.
For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off
counter.  This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield
the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core.

In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish
way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to
mark the strand as unavailable.

The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr
(condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register).

SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of
that in a subsequent commit.

Yield strands also in cpu_relax().  We really should have done this a
very long time ago.

517ffce4e1 sparc64: Make montmul/montsqr/mpmul usable in 32-bit threads.
The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision
Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating
point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers
with the inputs.

These values are 64-bit.  But for 32-bit userland processes we only
save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill.
This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and
has a fixed layout.

Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to
perform the following sequence:

1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel,
   say "-1".  This will be in the outer-most register window.

   The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register
   window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated.

2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction,
   down to the inner-most register window.

3) Execute the opcode.

4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window.

5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results.
   Otherwise retry the entire sequence.

This retry is extremely troublesome.  If you're just unlucky and an
interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to
the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it.

We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts
arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example).
So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is
extremely non-deterministic.

Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let
32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack.  Stacks in 64-bit mode are
biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the
actual %sp register value.

So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat
it like a 64-bit stack.

Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at
best.  For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it
works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an
alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp).  Therefore, we
add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like
this in a cheap and less hairy way.

With help from Andy Polyakov.
