This means that parisc failed to meet the documented requirements for
setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK, but set it anyway. If arch folks don't
follow the specs, it defeats the whole purpose of having clear statements
of requirements for arch code.
Until parisc finishes up its requirements, disable CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK.

Generic support for PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands which
export the regsets supported by each architecture using the correponding
NT_* types. These NT_* types are already part of the userland ABI, used
in representing the architecture specific register sets as different NOTES
in an ELF core file.
'addr' parameter for the ptrace system call encode the REGSET type (using
the corresppnding NT_* type) and the 'data' parameter points to the
struct iovec having the user buffer and the length of that buffer.
struct iovec iov = { buf, len};
ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov);
On successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel specifying
how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf.
x86 extended state registers are primarily exported using this interface.

Add the xstate regset support which helps extend the kernel ptrace and the
core-dump interfaces to support AVX state etc.
This regset interface is designed to support all the future state that gets
supported using xsave/xrstor infrastructure.
Looking at the memory layout saved by "xsave", one can't say which state
is represented in the memory layout. This is because if a particular state is
in init state, in the xsave hdr it can be represented by bit '0'. And hence
we can't really say by the xsave header wether a state is in init state or
the state is not saved in the memory layout.
And hence the xsave memory layout available through this regset
interface uses SW usable bytes [464..511] to convey what state is represented
in the memory layout.
First 8 bytes of the sw_usable_bytes[464..467] will be set to OS enabled xstate
mask(which is same as the 64bit mask returned by the xgetbv's xCR0).
The note NT_X86_XSTATE represents the extended state information in the
core file, using the above mentioned memory layout.

sparc: Align clone and signal stacks to 16 bytes.
When reserving stack space for a new process, make sure we're not
attempting to expand the stack by more than rlimit allows.
This fixes a bug caused by b6a2fea393 ("mm:
variable length argument support") and unmasked by
fc63cf2370 ("exec: setup_arg_pages() fails
to return errors").
This bug means that when limiting the stack to less the 20*PAGE_SIZE (eg.
80K on 4K pages or 'ulimit -s 79') all processes will be killed before
they start. This is particularly bad with 64K pages, where a ulimit below
1280K will kill every process.
To test, do:
'ulimit -s 15; ls'
before and after the patch is applied. Before it's applied, 'ls' should
be killed. After the patch is applied, 'ls' should no longer be killed.
A stack limit of 15KB since it's small enough to trigger 20*PAGE_SIZE.
Also 15KB not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, which is a trickier case to handle
correctly with this code.
4K pages should be fine to test with.

Commit b484625172 ("edac: mpc85xx add
mpc83xx support") accidentally broke how a chip select's first and last
page addresses are calculated. The page addresses are being shifted too
far right by PAGE_SHIFT. This results in errors such as:
EDAC MPC85xx MC1: Err addr: 0x003075c0
EDAC MPC85xx MC1: PFN: 0x00000307
EDAC MPC85xx MC1: PFN out of range!
EDAC MC1: INTERNAL ERROR: row out of range (4 >= 4)
EDAC MC1: CE - no information available: INTERNAL ERROR
The vaule of PAGE_SHIFT is already being taken into consideration during
the calculation of the 'start' and 'end' variables, thus it is not
necessary to account for it again when setting a chip select's first and
last page address.

This patch fixes a bug in the multiblock write tests where the written
data is read back for verifying one block at a time. The tests in
mmc_test assumes that all cards are byte addressable.
This will cause the multi block write tests to fail, leading the user of
the mmc_test driver thinking there is something wrong with the sdhci
driver they are testing.
The start address for the block is calculated as: blocknum * 512. For
block addressable cards the blocknum alone should be used.

This patch corrects a userspace pointer dereference in the VGA arbiter
in 2.6.32.1.
copy_from_user() is used at line 822 to copy the contents of buf into
kbuf, but a call to strncmp() on line 964 uses buf rather than kbuf. This
problem led to a GPF in strncmp() when X was started on my x86_32 systems.
X triggered the behavior with a write of "target PCI:0000:01:00.0" to
/dev/vga_arbiter.
The patch has been tested against 2.6.32.1 and observed to correct the GPF
observed when starting X or manually writing the string "target
PCI:0000:01:00.0" to /dev/vga_arbiter.
