User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults.  This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.

One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at).  This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock.  This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated.  The UP and SMP code are now
identical.

The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

<title>parisc: uaccess: fix compiler warnings caused by __put_user casting</title>

<id>0f28b62890097cb8732581a80f0a47fd7649df7d</id>
<content type='text'>
When targetting 32-bit processors, __put_user emits a pair of stw
instructions for the 8-byte case. If the type of __val is a pointer, the
marshalling code casts it to the wider integer type of u64, resulting
in the following compiler warnings:

  kernel/signal.c: In function 'copy_siginfo_to_user':
  kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  [...]

This patch fixes the warnings by removing the marshalling code and using
the correct output modifiers in the __put_{user,kernel}_asm64 macros
so that GCC will allocate the right registers without the need to
extract the two words explicitly.

Change kunmap macro to static inline function to fix build error
compiling drivers/base/dma-buf.c.

Without the change, the following error can occur:

   CC      drivers/base/dma-buf.o
drivers/base/dma-buf.c: In function 'dma_buf_kunmap':
drivers/base/dma-buf.c:427:46:
error: macro "kunmap" passed 3 arguments, but takes just 1

I believe parisc is the only arch to implement kunmap using a macro.

This fixes compile warnings like this one:
net/ipv4/igmp.c: In function ‘ip_mc_leave_group’:
net/ipv4/igmp.c:1898:3: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion [-Woverflow]

atomic_sub() is defined as __atomic_add_return(-(VAL),(v))))
and if VAL is of type unsigned int (as returned by sizeof()), negating
this value will overflow. Fix this by type-casting VAL to int type.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: (143 commits)
  x86: convert to ksignal
  sparc: convert to ksignal
  arm: switch to struct ksignal * passing
  alpha: pass k_sigaction and siginfo_t using ksignal pointer
  burying unused conditionals
  make do_sigaltstack() static
  arm64: switch to generic old sigaction() (compat-only)
