      Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:

 - Fix printk time stamps on SMP systems which got wrong due to a patch
   which was added during the merge window

 - Fix two bugs in the stack backtrace code: Races in module unloading
   and possible invalid accesses to memory due to wrong instruction
   decoding (Mikulas Patocka)

 - Fix userspace crash when syscalls access invalid unaligned userspace
   addresses.  Those syscalls will now return EFAULT as expected.

      devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem. · eedf265a
      Eric W. Biederman authored 
      The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in.  If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem.  Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.

The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.

Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.

Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.

A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it.  The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.

In the implementation of devpts:
 - devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
   devpts are equal.
 - pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
   inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
 - devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx.  And the
   unnecessary inode hold is removed.
 - devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
   deacrivate_super.
 - The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
   ignored.

In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.

Documentation/filesystems/devices.txt is updated to describe the current
situation.

This has been verified to work properly on openwrt-15.05, centos5,
centos6, centos7, debian-6.0.2, debian-7.9, debian-8.2, ubuntu-14.04.3,
ubuntu-15.10, fedora23, magia-5, mint-17.3, opensuse-42.1,
slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01.  With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

  [<0000000040205024>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14

This means the userspace program clock_adjtime called the clock_adjtime()
syscall and then crashed inside the compat_get_timex() function.
Syscalls should never crash programs, but instead return EFAULT.

The IIR register contains the executed instruction, which disassebles
into "ldw 0(sr3,r5),r9".
This load-word instruction is part of __get_user() which tried to read the word
at %r5/IOR (0xfa6f7fff). This means the unaligned handler jumped in.  The
unaligned handler is able to emulate all ldw instructions, but it fails if it
fails to read the source e.g. because of page fault.

The following program reproduces the problem:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

int main(void) {
        /* allocate 8k */
        char *ptr = mmap(NULL, 2*4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        /* free second half (upper 4k) and make it invalid. */
        munmap(ptr+4096, 4096);
        /* syscall where first int is unaligned and clobbers into invalid memory region */
        /* syscall should return EFAULT */
        return syscall(__NR_clock_adjtime, 0, ptr+4095);
}

To fix this issue we simply need to check if the faulting instruction address
is in the exception fixup table when the unaligned handler failed. If it
is, call the fixup routine instead of crashing.

While looking at the unaligned handler I found another issue as well: The
target register should not be modified if the handler was unsuccessful.

      parisc: Fix backtrace on PA-RISC · be24a897
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      This patch fixes backtrace on PA-RISC

There were several problems:

1) The code that decodes instructions handles instructions that subtract
from the stack pointer incorrectly. If the instruction subtracts the
number X from the stack pointer the code increases the frame size by
(0x100000000-X).  This results in invalid accesses to memory and
recursive page faults.

2) Because gcc reorders blocks, handling instructions that subtract from
the frame pointer is incorrect. For example, this function
	int f(int a)
	{
		if (__builtin_expect(a, 1))
			return a;
		g();
		return a;
	}
is compiled in such a way, that the code that decreases the stack
pointer for the first "return a" is placed before the code for "g" call.
If we recognize this decrement, we mistakenly believe that the frame
size for the "g" call is zero.

To fix problems 1) and 2), the patch doesn't recognize instructions that
decrease the stack pointer at all. To further safeguard the unwind code
against nonsense values, we don't allow frame size larger than
Total_frame_size.

3) The backtrace is not locked. If stack dump races with module unload,
invalid table can be accessed.

This patch adds a spinlock when processing module tables.

Note, that for correct backtrace, you need recent binutils.
Binutils 2.18 from Debian 5 produce garbage unwind tables.
Binutils 2.21 work better (it sometimes forgets function frames, but at
least it doesn't generate garbage).
