Pull late parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
 "I know it's *very* late in the 3.9 release cycle, but since there
  aren't that many people testing the parisc linux kernel, a few (for
  our port) critical issues just showed up a few days back for the first
  time.

  What's in it?
   - add missing __ucmpdi2 symbol, which is required for btrfs on 32bit
     kernel.
   - change kunmap() macro to static inline function.  This fixes a
     debian/gcc-4.4 build error.
   - add locking when doing PTE updates.  This fixes random userspace
     crashes.
   - disable (optional) -mlong-calls compiler option for modules, else
     modules can't be loaded at runtime.
   - a smart patch by Will Deacon which fixes 64bit put_user() warnings
     on 32bit kernel."

variable_is_present() accesses '__efivars' directly, but when called via
gsmi_init() Michel reports observing the following crash,

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
  IP: variable_is_present+0x55/0x170
  Call Trace:
    register_efivars+0x106/0x370
    gsmi_init+0x2ad/0x3da
    do_one_initcall+0x3f/0x170

The reason for the crash is that '__efivars' hasn't been initialised nor
has it been registered with register_efivars() by the time the google
EFI SMI driver runs.  The gsmi code uses its own struct efivars, and
therefore, a different variable list.  Fix the above crash by passing
the registered struct efivars to variable_is_present(), so that we
traverse the correct list.

User applications running on SMP kernels have long suffered from instability
and random segmentation faults.  This patch improves the situation although
there is more work to be done.

One of the problems is the various routines in pgtable.h that update page table
entries use different locking mechanisms, or no lock at all (set_pte_at).  This
change modifies the routines to all use the same lock pa_dbit_lock.  This lock
is used for dirty bit updates in the interruption code. The patch also purges
the TLB entries associated with the PTE to ensure that inconsistent values are
not used after the page table entry is updated.  The UP and SMP code are now
identical.

The change also includes a minor update to the purge_tlb_entries function in
cache.c to improve its efficiency.

CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit
ec758f98 to overcome linker issues when linking
huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in.

But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation
types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded.
Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already
use stub sections which resolve long distance calls.

So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules.

When targetting 32-bit processors, __put_user emits a pair of stw
instructions for the 8-byte case. If the type of __val is a pointer, the
marshalling code casts it to the wider integer type of u64, resulting
in the following compiler warnings:

  kernel/signal.c: In function 'copy_siginfo_to_user':
  kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  kernel/signal.c:2752:11: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  [...]

This patch fixes the warnings by removing the marshalling code and using
the correct output modifiers in the __put_{user,kernel}_asm64 macros
so that GCC will allocate the right registers without the need to
extract the two words explicitly.

We need to check the runtime sys_table for the EFI version the firmware
specifies instead of just checking for a NULL QueryVariableInfo.  Older
implementations of EFI don't have QueryVariableInfo but the runtime is
a smaller structure, so the pointer to it may be pointing off into garbage.

This is apparently the case with several Apple firmwares that support EFI
1.10, and the current check causes them to no longer boot.  Fix based on
a suggestion from Matthew Garrett.

Commit 257b5358 ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm

Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are
the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong
uid/gid ends up being used.

This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit.

For each CPU vendor that implements CPU microcode patching, there will
be a minimum family for which this is implemented.  Verify this
minimum level of support.

This can be done in the dispatch function or early in the application
functions.  Doing the latter turned out to be somewhat awkward because
of the ineviable split between the BSP and the AP paths, and rather
than pushing deep into the application functions, do this in

Bjørn Mork says:

====================
This series adds workarounds for 3 different firmware bugs, each
preventing the affected devices from working at all. I therefore
humbly request that these fixes go to stable-3.8 (if still
maintained) and 3.9 (either via net if still possible, or via
stable if not).

All 3 workarounds are applied to all devices supported by the driver.
Adding quirks for specific devices was considered as an alternative,
but was rejected because we have too little information about the
exact distribution of the buggy firmwares. All we know is that the
same bug shows up in devices from at least 3 different, and presumably
independent, vendors.

The workarounds have instead been designed to automatically apply
when necessary, and to have as little impact as possible on unaffected
devices.  The series has been tested on a number of devices both with
and without these bugs.

The series should apply cleanly to net/master, net-next/master and
stable/linux-3.8.y

We normally trust and use the CDC functional descriptors provided by a
number of devices.  But some of these will erroneously list the address
reserved for the device end of the link.  Attempting to use this on
both the device and host side will naturally not work.

Work around this bug by ignoring the functional descriptor and assign a
random address instead in this case.

The bogus address is always the same, and matches the address
suggested by many devices as a default address.  It is likely a
hardcoded firmware default.

The circumstances where this bug has been observed indicates that
the trigger is related to timing or some other factor the host
cannot control. Repeating the exact same configuration sequence
that caused it to trigger once, will not necessarily cause it to
trigger the next time. Reproducing the bug is therefore difficult.
This opens up a possibility that the bug is more common than we can
confirm, because affected devices often will work properly again
after a reset.  A procedure most users are likely to try out before
reporting a bug.

Unconditionally rewriting the destination address if the first digit
of the received packet is 0, is considered an acceptable compromise
since we already have to inspect this digit.  The simplification will
cause unnecessary rewrites if the real address starts with 0, but this
is still better than adding additional tests for this particular case.

A number of LTE devices from different vendors all suffer from the
same firmware bug: Most of the packets received from the device while
it is attached to a LTE network will not have an ethernet header. The
devices work as expected when attached to 2G or 3G networks, sending
an ethernet header with all packets.

This driver is not aware of which network the modem attached to, and
even if it were there are still some packet types which are always
received with the header intact.

All devices supported by this driver have severely limited
networking capabilities:
 - can only transmit IPv4, IPv6 and possibly ARP
 - can only support a single host hardware address at any time
 - will only do point-to-point communcation with the host

Because of this, we are able to reliably identify any bogus raw IP
packets by simply looking at the 4 IP version bits.  All we need to
do is to avoid 4 or 6 in the first digit of the mac address.  This
workaround ensures this, and fix up the received packets as necessary.

Given the distribution of the bug, it is believed that the source is
the chipset vendor.  The devices which are verified to be affected are:
 Huawei E392u-12 (Qualcomm MDM9200)
 Pantech UML290  (Qualcomm MDM9600)
 Novatel USB551L (Qualcomm MDM9600)
 Novatel E362    (Qualcomm MDM9600)

It is believed that the bug depend on firmware revision, which means
that possibly all devices based on the above mentioned chipset may be
affected if we consider all available firmware revisions.

The information about affected devices and versions is likely
incomplete.  As the additional overhead for packets not needing this
fixup is very small, it is considered acceptable to apply the
workaround to all devices handled by this driver.
