commit 3b9c6c11f519718d618f5d7c9508daf78b207f6f upstream.

This only matters for ISA devices with a 24-bit DMA limit or for devices
with a 32-bit DMA limit on systems with ZONE_DMA32 enabled.  The latter
currently only affects 32-bit PCI cards on Sibyte-based systems with more
than 1GB RAM installed.

commit bf3a1eb85967dcbaae42f4fcb53c2392cec32677 upstream.

When au1000_eth probes the MII bus for PHY address, if we do not set
au1000_eth platform data's phy_search_highest_address, the MII probing
logic will exit early and will assume a valid PHY is found at address 0.
For MTX-1, the PHY is at address 31, and without this patch, the link
detection/speed/duplex would not work correctly.

commit 8faf2e6c201d95b780cd3b4674b7a55ede6dcbbb upstream.

Several MIPS platforms don't set pci_controller::io_map_base for their
PCI bridges.  This results in a panic in pci_iomap().  (The panic is
conditional on CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS, but that is now enabled for all PCI
MIPS systems.)

<title>compat: Make compat_alloc_user_space() incorporate the access_ok()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6 upstream.

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area.  A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.

This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.

This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures.  This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.

<title>MIPS FPU emulator: allow Cause bits of FCSR to be writeable by ctc1</title>

commit 95e8f634d7a3ea5af40ec3fa42c8a152fd3a0624 upstream.

    In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register
    are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction.  In odd corner cases,
    this can cause problems.  For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero
    exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to
    restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred.  In
    this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would
    cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately.  The solution
    is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of
    the FCSR register to be writeable.  This is the behaviour of the hardware
    that the code is emulating.

    This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes
    to Kevin Kissell.  In Kevin's words:

    I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op:  case of the emulator.  The
    Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the
    CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction.  I think that
    actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would
    work a good deal better.  At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of
    the architecturally defined FPU.  If I wanted to be really, really pedantic
    (which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't
    necessarily writable.

(cherry picked from commit e65c7f33d75e977350ca350573d93c517ec02776)

Previously it was unconditionally used on all Sibyte family SOCs.  The
M3 bug has to be handled in the TLB exception handler which is extremly
performance sensitive, so this modification is expected to deliver around
2-3% performance improvment.  This is important as required changes to the
M3 workaround will make it more costly.
