commit aea1181b0bd0a09c54546399768f359d1e198e45 upstream, Needed to
compile ext4 for sparc32 since commit
503f4bdcc078e7abee273a85ce322de81b18a224

There is no-one that really require atomic64_t support on sparc32.
But several drivers fails to build without proper atomic64 support.
And for an allyesconfig build for sparc32 this is annoying.

Include the generic atomic64_t support for sparc32.
This has a text footprint cost:

$size vmlinux (before atomic64_t support)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3578860  134260  108781 3821901  3a514d vmlinux

$size vmlinux (after atomic64_t support)
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3579892  130684  108781 3819357  3a475d vmlinux

text increase (3579892 - 3578860) = 1032 bytes

data decreases - but I fail to explain why!
I have rebuild twice to check my numbers.

<title>sparc64: Fix race in TLB batch processing.</title>

  f0af97070acbad5d6a361f485828223a4faaa0ee upstream. ]

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.

So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb-&gt;tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.

Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.

This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().

We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls.  If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.

1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
   implementations.

2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via:

	smp_call_function_many()
		tlb_pending_func()
			__flush_tlb_pending()

3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences:

	a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
	b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
	c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
	d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
	e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
           flush if it's clear.

4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.

	a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
	   as needed.
	b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
	c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
	d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
           upon CONFIG_SMP

5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
   3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.

   The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
   on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
   pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.

   Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
   the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
   instead.

Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

commit 5598473a5b40c47a8c5349dd2c2630797169cf1a upstream.

If we can't push the pending register windows onto the user's stack,
we disallow signal delivery even if the signal would be delivered on a
valid seperate signal stack.

Add a register window save area in the signal frame, and store any
unsavable windows there.

On sigreturn, if any windows are still queued up in the signal frame,
try to push them back onto the stack and if that fails we kill the
process immediately.

This allows the debug/tst-longjmp_chk2 glibc test case to pass.

<title>sparc32: unbreak arch_write_unlock()</title>

commit 3f6aa0b113846a8628baa649af422cfc6fb1d786 upstream.

The sparc32 version of arch_write_unlock() is just a plain assignment.
Unfortunately this allows the compiler to schedule side-effects in a
protected region to occur after the HW-level unlock, which is broken.
E.g., the following trivial test case gets miscompiled:

	#include &lt;linux/spinlock.h&gt;
	rwlock_t lock;
	int counter;
	void foo(void) { write_lock(&amp;lock); ++counter; write_unlock(&amp;lock); }

Fixed by adding a compiler memory barrier to arch_write_unlock().  The
sparc64 version combines the barrier and assignment into a single asm(),
and implements the operation as a static inline, so that's what I did too.

Compile-tested with sparc32_defconfig + CONFIG_SMP=y.

commit a0fba3eb059e73fed2d376a901f8117734c12f1f upstream.

The sparc64 spinlock_64.h contains a number of operations defined
first as static inline functions, and then as macros with the same
names and parameters as the functions.  Maybe this was needed at
some point in the past, but now nothing seems to depend on these
macros (checked with a recursive grep looking for ifdefs on these
names).  Other archs don't define these identity-macros.

So this patch deletes these unnecessary macros.

Compile-tested with sparc64_defconfig.
