      Merge tag 'efi-urgent' into x86/urgent · 697dfd88
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
       * 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.

      parisc: Change kunmap macro to static inline function · 87be2f88

      Change kunmap macro to static inline function to fix build error
compiling drivers/base/dma-buf.c.

Without the change, the following error can occur:

drivers/base/dma-buf.c: In function 'dma_buf_kunmap':
drivers/base/dma-buf.c:427:46:

I believe parisc is the only arch to implement kunmap using a macro.

      parisc: Provide __ucmpdi2 to resolve undefined references in 32 bit builds. · ca0ad83d

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin:
 "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support
  for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle.  This
  is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the
  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."

I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release
the final 3.9 tomorrow.  But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead...
