[ Upstream commit 802a3b3f470b9bc1148f26e01fc9cbfeb4dfcb57 ]

Currently, __pci_mmap_fits() computes the BAR size using
"pci_resource_len() - 1", which wraps to a large value when the BAR length
is zero, causing the bounds check to incorrectly succeed.

Add an early return for empty resources.

[ Upstream commit 78a228f0aa0e9eba31955950c8a40a9945e2c8bb ]

Currently, Alpha's pci_mmap_resource() does not check
security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS) before allowing userspace to mmap
PCI BARs.

The generic version has had this check since commit eb627e17727e ("PCI:
Lock down BAR access when the kernel is locked down") to prevent DMA
attacks when the kernel is locked down.

Add the same check to Alpha's pci_mmap_resource().

[ Upstream commit 9aeed9041929812a10a6d693af050846942a1d16 ]

Similar in nature to ab107276607af90b13a5994997e19b7b9731e251. glibc-2.42
drops the legacy termio struct, but the ioctls.h header still defines some
TC* constants in terms of termio (via sizeof). Hardcode the values instead.

This fixes building Python for example, which falls over like:
  ./Modules/termios.c:1119:16: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'struct termio'

[ Upstream commit b029628be267cba3c7684ec684749fe3e4372398 ]

Richard Henderson &lt;richard.henderson@linaro.org&gt; writes[1]:

&gt; There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran
&gt; twice as fast with 32-bit pointers.
&gt;
&gt; I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work
&gt; to allow the toolchain to take advantage.
&gt;
&gt; Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a
&gt; 32-bit address space, specifically because of this.
&gt;
&gt; I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would
&gt; notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users.

In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working
properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY
implementation.  In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson
pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never
completed.

Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support.

As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have
the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set.  Just in case someone somewhere has
binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

<title>alpha: make stack 16-byte aligned (most cases)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b737d64391138b40e5a02302f5f5283ddca6e0d5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9 upstream.

The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack
since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]:
  Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in
 GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double
 improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment
 was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has
 various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which
 is not a whole multiple of 16.

Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same:
 D.3.1 Stack Alignment
  This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a
  new procedure is invoked.

However:
- the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to
  the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very
  first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack;
- syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned
  stack depending on numerous factors.

Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with
a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to
its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever
things allocating it on the stack.

This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers
so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words.
This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel
code, except two handlers which need special threatment.

Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed,
but let's put this off until later.

commit 6ccbd7fd474674654019a20177c943359469103a upstream.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization.

Commit c5a130325f13 ("ACPI/APEI: Add parameter check before error
injection") exported page_is_ram(), hence the __init annotation should
be removed.

This fixes the modpost warning in ARCH=alpha builds:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: page_is_ram: EXPORT_SYMBOL used for init symbol. Remove __init or EXPORT_SYMBOL.
