commit ff7f3efb9abf986f4ecd8793a9593f7ca4d6431a upstream.

The current Tilera boot infrastructure now provides the initramfs
to Linux as a Tilera-hypervisor file named "initramfs", rather than
"initramfs.cpio.gz", as before.  (This makes it reasonable to use
other compression techniques than gzip on the file without having to
worry about the name causing confusion.)  Adapt to use the new name,
but also fall back to checking for the old name.

Cc'ing to stable so that older kernels will remain compatible with
newer Tilera boot infrastructure.

<title>arch/tile: avoid generating .eh_frame information in modules</title>

commit 627072b06c362bbe7dc256f618aaa63351f0cfe6 upstream.

The tile tool chain uses the .eh_frame information for backtracing.
The vmlinux build drops any .eh_frame sections at link time, but when
present in kernel modules, it causes a module load failure due to the
presence of unsupported pc-relative relocations.  When compiling to
use compiler feedback support, the compiler by default omits .eh_frame
information, so we don't see this problem.  But when not using feedback,
we need to explicitly suppress the .eh_frame.

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().

<title>tilegx: enable SYSCALL_WRAPPERS support</title>

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 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
