[ Upstream commit e793d8c6740f8fe704fa216e95685f4d92c4c4b9 ]

There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in
sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event().

Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR.

However, event enable was not reversing this operation.  Instead, it
was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits.

That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what
sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do .

The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear
out the event type encoding field.  So fix this by OR'ing in the event
encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

In case of error, function module_alloc() in other platform never
returns ERR_PTR(), and all of the user only check for NULL, so
we'd better return NULL instead of ERR_PTR().

<title>sparc64: do not clobber personality flags in sys_sparc64_personality()</title>

<id>a27032eee8cb6e16516f13c8a9752e9d5d4cc430</id>
<content type='text'>
There are multiple errors in how sys_sparc64_personality() handles
personality flags stored in top three bytes.

- directly comparing current-&gt;personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work
  in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes
  are used.
- directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX
  discards any flags stored in the top three bytes

Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only
PER_MASK bytes.
Fix the second one by setting only the bits that should be set, instead of
overwriting the whole value.

<title>ipc: add COMPAT_SHMLBA support</title>

If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for
a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both.

This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat
syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64
(where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is
16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.
