       * The EFI variable anti-bricking algorithm merged in -rc8 broke booting
         on some Apple machines because they implement EFI spec 1.10, which
         doesn't provide a QueryVariableInfo() runtime function and the logic
         used to check for the existence of that function was insufficient.
         Fix from Josh Boyer.
      
       * The anti-bricking algorithm also introduced a compiler warning on
         32-bit. Fix from Borislav Petkov.

      parisc: use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore for PTE updates · bda079d3
      John David Anglin authored
      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.

      parisc: disable -mlong-calls compiler option for kernel modules · cf71130d
      Helge Deller authored
      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.

      parisc: uaccess: fix compiler warnings caused by __put_user casting · 0f28b628
      Will Deacon authored
      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.

       "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support

        various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual
        in many places.)
      
        After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon,
        but of course it is now very late in the cycle.  However, because it
        changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it
        would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken
        interfaces."

      the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...

      x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching · 74c3e3fc
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      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
      the dispatch function.

      ====================
      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

      net: qmi_wwan: prevent duplicate mac address on link (firmware bug workaround) · cc6ba5fd
      Bjørn Mork authored
      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.
