The kernel was allowing any component of the pt_regs to be updated either
by signal handlers writing to the stack, or by processes writing via
PTRACE_POKEUSR or PTRACE_SETREGS, which meant they could set their PL
up from 0 to 1 and get access to kernel code and data (or, in practice,
cause a kernel panic). We now always reset the ex1 field, allowing the
user to set their ICS bit only.

This change is modelled on similar fixes for other architectures.
The pt_regs "faultnum" member is set to the trap (fault) number that
caused us to enter the kernel, and is INT_SWINT_1 for the syscall software
interrupt. We already supported a pseudo value, INT_SWINT_1_SIGRETURN,
that we used for the rt_sigreturn syscall; it avoided the case where
one signal was handled, then we "tail-called" to another handler.
This change avoids the similar case where we start to call one handler,
then are preempted into another handler when we start trying to run
the first handler. We clear ->faultnum after calling handle_signal(),
and to be paranoid also in the case where there was no signal to deliver.

For the "initfree" boot argument it's not that big a deal, but
to avoid warnings in the code, we check for a valid value before
allowing the specified argument to override the kernel default.

This completes the tile migration to the new naming scheme for
the architecture-specific irq management code.
Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
This change makes KM_TYPE_NR independent of the actual deprecated
list of km_type values, which are no longer used in tile code anywhere.
For now we leave it set to 8, allowing that many nested mappings,
and thus reserving 32MB of address space.
A few remaining places using KM_* values were cleaned up as well.

spi/bfin_spi: only request GPIO on first load
spi/bfin_spi: handle error/status changes after data interrupts
spi: enable spi_board_info to be registered after spi_master
This fixes an erroneous use of LSB first in the U300 machine, the
PL022 used in U300 is a standard ARM core that doesn't support this
bit so it should never have been set.

It's poor form to keep driver state in global variables rather than
per-instance. It never really mattered in practice when there was only
one controller on the chipset, but the latest chipsets do have more
than one controller, so now we care.

The caller allocated it, the caller should free it.
The only issue so far is that we could change the flp pointer even on an
error return if the fl_change callback failed. But we can simply move
the flp assignment after the fl_change invocation, as the callers don't
care about the flp return value if the setlease call failed.

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1)
As pointed out by Kerstin Jonsson <kerstin.jonsson@ericsson.com>, this
is due to CONFIG_32BIT not being defined, so the initramfs size field is
done as a 64-bit quad. On little-endian (like x86) this doesn matter,
but on a big-endian machine the 32-bit reads will see the (zero) high
bits.
Only mips, s390, and score set CONFIG_32BIT for 32-bit builds, so fix it for
all other 32-bit arches by inverting the logic and testing for CONFIG_64BIT,
which should be defined on all 64-bit arches.

The NFSv4 server was initializing the dp->dl_flock pointer by the
somewhat ridiculous method of a locks_copy_lock callback.
Now that setlease uses the passed-in lock instead of doing a copy,
dl_flock no longer gets set, resulting in the lock leaking on delegation
release, and later possible hangs (among other problems).
So, initialize dl_flock and get rid of the callback.
