commit ea077b1b96e073eac5c3c5590529e964767fc5f7 upstream.

Explicitly truncate the second operand of do_div() to 32 bits to guard
against bogus code calling it with a 64-bit divisor.

After upgrading from 3.2 to 3.10, mounting a btrfs volume fails with:

[Geert]

As diagnosed by Andreas, fs/btrfs/volumes.c:__btrfs_map_block()
calls

    do_div(stripe_nr, stripe_len);

with stripe_len u64, while do_div() assumes the divisor is a 32-bit number.

Due to the lack of truncation in the m68k-specific implementation of
do_div(), the division is performed using the upper 32-bit word of
stripe_len, which is zero.

This was introduced by commit 53b381b3abeb86f12787a6c40fee9b2f71edc23b
("Btrfs: RAID5 and RAID6"), which changed the divisor from
map-&gt;stripe_len (struct map_lookup.stripe_len is int) to a 64-bit temporary.

commit bac7e6ecf60933b68af910eb4c83a775a8b20b19 upstream.

Fighting unfixed U-Boots and other beasts that may the cache in
a locked-down state when starting the kernel, we make sure to
disable all cache lock-down when initializing the l2x0 so we
are in a known state.

<title>m68k/atari: ARAnyM - Fix NatFeat module support</title>

commit e8184e10f89736a23ea6eea8e24cd524c5c513d2 upstream.

As pointed out by Andreas Schwab, pointers passed to ARAnyM NatFeat calls
should be physical addresses, not virtual addresses.

Fortunately on Atari, physical and virtual kernel addresses are the same,
as long as normal kernel memory is concerned, so this usually worked fine
without conversion.

But for modules, pointers to literal strings are located in vmalloc()ed
memory. Depending on the version of ARAnyM, this causes the nf_get_id()
call to just fail, or worse, crash ARAnyM itself with e.g.

    Gotcha! Illegal memory access. Atari PC = $968c

This is a big issue for distro kernels, who want to have all drivers as
loadable modules in an initrd.

Add a wrapper for nf_get_id() that copies the literal to the stack to
work around this issue.

commit af9719c3062dfe216a0c3de3fa52be6d22b4456c upstream.

gcc 4.7 will be more strict about parsing the -mtraceback option:

 gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option '-mtraceback=none'
 gcc: note: valid arguments to '-mtraceback=' are: full no part

gcc used to do a 2 char compare so both "no" and "none" would
match. Switch to using -mtraceback=no should work everywhere.

commit de36e66d5fa52bc6e2dacd95c701a1762b5308a7 upstream.

Based on copy from microblaze add ucmpdi2 implementation.
This fixes build of niu driver which failed with:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `niu_get_nfc':
niu.c:(.text+0x91494): undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2'

This driver will never be used on a sparc32 system,
but patch added to fix build breakage with all*config builds.

commit eaa5a990191d204ba0f9d35dbe5505ec2cdd1460 upstream.

GCC will optimize mxcsr_feature_mask_init in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c:

		memset(&amp;fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
		mask = fx_scratch.mxcsr_mask;
		if (mask == 0)
			mask = 0x0000ffbf;

to

		memset(&amp;fx_scratch, 0, sizeof(struct i387_fxsave_struct));
		asm volatile("fxsave %0" : : "m" (fx_scratch));
		mask = 0x0000ffbf;

since asm statement doesn’t say it will update fx_scratch.  As the
result, the DAZ bit will be cleared.  This patch fixes it. This bug
dates back to at least kernel 2.6.12.

<title>powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix causes perf issues</title>

commit 0e0ed6406e61434d3f38fb58aa8464ec4722b77e upstream.

Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by
a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an
unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates
the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to
the calculated CRC.

Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols
that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef
(module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)
added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch
created a symbol at 0x0:

# head -2 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T reloc_start
c000000000000000 T .__start

This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It
thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to
0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf,
including:

problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event

This patch removes the  reloc_start linker script label and instead
defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with
CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero
PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract
it from the CRCs in that case.

upstream commit 23a01138efe216f8084cfaa74b0b90dd4b097441

This fixes a race where a cpu may re-load a tlb from a stale tsb right
after it has been flushed by a remote function call.

I still see some instability when stressing the system with parallel
kernel builds while creating memory pressure by writing to
/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, but this patch improves the stability
significantly.
