commit 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 upstream.

This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it  significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440.  When write  protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation.  Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry
which allows writes.

<title>Redefine ATOMIC_INIT and ATOMIC64_INIT to drop the casts</title>

commit bba3d8c3b3c0f2123be5bc687d1cddc13437c923 upstream.

The following build error occured during a parisc build with
swap-over-NFS patches applied.

net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: (near initialization for 'memalloc_socks')
net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant

Dave Anglin says:
&gt; Here is the line in sock.i:
&gt;
&gt; struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled =
&gt; ((atomic_t) { (0) }) });

The above line contains two compound literals.  It also uses a designated
initializer to initialize the field enabled.  A compound literal is not a
constant expression.

The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound
literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must
consist of constant expressions.

<title>fix panic on prefetch(NULL) on PA7300LC</title>

commit b3cb8674811d1851bbf1486a73d62b90c119b994 upstream.

Due to an errata, the PA7300LC generates a TLB miss interruption even on the
prefetch instruction.  This means that prefetch(NULL), which is supposed to be
a nop on linux actually generates a NULL deref fault.  Fix this by testing the
address of prefetch against NULL before doing the prefetch.

This was found by inspection while tracking a similar
bug in compat_statfs64, that has been fixed in mainline
since decemeber.

- This fixes a bug where not all of the f_spare fields
  were cleared on mips and s390.
- Add the f_flags field to struct compat_statfs
- Copy f_flags to userspace in case someone cares.
- Use __clear_user to copy the f_spare field to userspace
  to ensure that all of the elements of f_spare are cleared.
  On some architectures f_spare is has 5 ints and on some
  architectures f_spare only has 4 ints.  Which makes
  the previous technique of clearing each int individually
  broken.

I don't expect anyone actually uses the old statfs system
call anymore but if they do let them benefit from having
the compat and the native version working the same.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

After changing all consumers of atomics to include &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;, we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

linux/atomic.h
  -&gt; asm/atomic.h
    -&gt; asm-generic/atomic-long.h

where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype.  This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

Archs that need &lt;asm-generic/atomic64.h&gt; need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).

Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.
