commit 5e185581d7c46ddd33cd9c01106d1fc86efb9376
Author: James Bottomley &lt;JBottomley@Parallels.com&gt;

    [PARISC] fix PA1.1 oops on boot

Didn't quite fix the crash on boot.  It moved it from PA1.1 processors to
PA2.0 narrow kernels.  The final fix is to make sure the [id]tlb_miss_20 paths
also work.  Even on narrow systems, these paths require using the wide
instructions becuase the tlb insertion format is wide.  Fix this by
conditioning the dep[wd],z on whether we're being called from _11 or _20[w]
paths.

commit ed5fb2471b7060767957fb964eb1aaec71533ab1 upstream.

In certain configurations, the resulting kernel becomes too large to boot
because the linker places the long branch stubs for the merged .text section
at the very start of the image.  As a result, the initial transfer of control
jumps to an unexpected location.  Fix this by placing the head text in a
separate section so the stubs for .text are not at the start of the image.

commit 207f583d7179f707f402c36a7bda5ca1fd03ad5b upstream.

As pointed out by serveral people, PA1.1 only has a type 26 instruction
meaning that the space register must be explicitly encoded.  Not giving an
explicit space means that the compiler uses the type 24 version which is PA2.0
only resulting in an illegal instruction crash.

This regression was caused by

    parisc: flush pages through tmpalias space

because a PA2.0 instruction was accidentally introduced into the PA1.1 TLB
insertion interruption path when it was consolidated with the do_alias macro.
Fix the do_alias macro only to use PA2.0 instructions if compiled for 64 bit.

<title>ns: Wire up the setns system call</title>

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano &lt;dlezcano@fr.ibm.com&gt;
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman &lt;ebiederm@xmission.com&gt;
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

<title>extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata</title>

<id>a2d063ac216c1618bfc2b4d40b7176adffa63511</id>
<content type='text'>
A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a
passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.

Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).

This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.

Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.

passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not
return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data.

Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous,
without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by
volatile memory (memory that can be freed).

This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from
ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global
data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false
otherwise.

Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition
and document the function.
