<title>treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1751f872cc97f992ed5c4c72c55588db1f0021e1</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:
Spatch:
    virtual patch

    @
    depends on !(file in "net")
    disable optional_qualifier
    @

    identifier table_name != {
      watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl,
      iwcm_ctl_table,
      ucma_ctl_table,
      memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
      loadpin_sysctl_table
    };
    @@

    + const
    struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... };

      -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &amp;uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&amp;uts_kern/" \
      kernel/utsname_sysctl.c

<title>[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb787f4ac0c2e439ea8d7e6387b925f74576bdf8</id>
<content type='text'>
no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441
("fs: remove no_llseek")

To quote that commit,

  At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -

  git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
	sed -i '/\&lt;no_llseek\&gt;/d' $i
  done

  would do it.

Unfortunately, that hadn't been done.  Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
	.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

<content type='text'>
The local variable period uses at most 32 bits and can be a u32 instead
of unsigned long. The upper 32 bits are all 0 after masking and right
shifting cap by HPET_COUNTER_CLK_PERIOD_SHIFT and can be discarded.

Since do_div() casts the divisor to u32 anyway, changing the data type
of period to u32 also removes the following Coccinelle/coccicheck
warning reported by do_div.cocci:

  WARNING: do_div() does a 64-by-32 division, please consider using div64_ul instead

<title>hpet: Support 32-bit userspace</title>

<content type='text'>
hpet_compat_ioctl and read file operations failed to handle parameters from
32-bit userspace and thus samples/timers/hpet_example.c fails as below.

root@intel-x86-64:~# ./hpet_example-32.out poll /dev/hpet 1 2
-hpet: executing poll
hpet_poll: HPET_IRQFREQ failed

This patch fixes cmd and arg handling in hpet_compat_ioctl and adds compat
handling for 32-bit userspace in hpet_read.

hpet_example now shows that it works for both 64-bit and 32-bit.

root@intel-x86-64:~# ./hpet_example-32.out poll /dev/hpet 1 2
-hpet: executing poll
hpet_poll: info.hi_flags 0x0
hpet_poll: expired time = 0xf4298
hpet_poll: revents = 0x1
hpet_poll: data 0x1
hpet_poll: expired time = 0xf4235
hpet_poll: revents = 0x1
hpet_poll: data 0x1
