commit 9f1d62bed7f015d11b9164078b7fea433b474114 upstream.

This is because __builtin_clz(0) returns 64 for the "undefined" case
of 0, since the builtin just does a right-shift 32 and "clz" instruction.
So, use the alpha approach of casting to u32 and using __builtin_clzll().

commit e6d9668e119af44ae5bcd5f1197174531458afe3 upstream.

Some discussion with the glibc mailing lists revealed that this was
necessary for 64-bit platforms with MIPS-like sign-extension rules
for 32-bit values.  The original symptom was that passing (uid_t)-1 to
setreuid() was failing in programs linked -pthread because of the "setxid"
mechanism for passing setxid-type function arguments to the syscall code.
SYSCALL_WRAPPERS handles ensuring that all syscall arguments end up with
proper sign-extension and is thus the appropriate fix for this problem.

On other platforms (s390, powerpc, sparc64, and mips) this was fixed
in 2.6.28.6.  The general issue is tracked as CVE-2009-0029.

commit 8d6951439ef524683057251f1231df232046b6b6 upstream.

Looks like a cut and paste bug from the x86 version.

commit a134d228298c6aa9007205c6b81cae0cac0acb5d upstream.

This passes siginfo and mcontext to tilegx32 signal handlers that
don't have SA_SIGINFO set just as we have been doing for tilegx64.

We provided very similar routines internally, but now we can hook
into the generic framework by supplying our routines as function
pointers in the irq_chip structure instead.

When freeing the page with this API, the page was "put" twice.
This was only discovered bringing up an MPT fusion controller, which
actually used the API; it hadn't been invoked previously, so the bug
had gone unnoticed.

The empty_zero_page[] export is required for ZERO_PAGE() module references.
The #includes are due to changes in implicit inclusion, and should of
course have been in the sources from the beginning.

The kernel code was using some &lt;asm&gt; headers that included a mix
of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera &lt;arch&gt;
headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.

This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: &lt;arch/opcode.h&gt;.
This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
&lt;arch&gt; headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.

The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
the disassembly code (&lt;asm/tile-desc.h&gt; with _32 and _64 variants),
replaces the old &lt;asm/opcode-tile*.h&gt; and &lt;asm/opcode_constants*.h&gt;
headers.

As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
and any successor "tile" architecture chips.

These headers are similar to the &lt;asm&gt; headers that describe kernel
APIs, but instead describe aspects of the actual hardware in an
OS- and application-independent manner.  We need to include them in
the set of installed headers so that userspace tools (including glibc)
can build purely from the provided kernel headers.
