sys_clone syscall ignored args which this patch mapped to args
which are passing from glibc.
Here is the origin problem description.
"I ran the static libgcc tests (very few of them are there, they are
mostly dynamically linked) and some of them fail with an assertion in
fork() system call (tid != pid), I looked at the microblaze/entry.S
file and it looks suspicious (ignores arguments 3-5)"
Arg mapping should be:
glibc ARCH_FORK(...) -> do_fork(...)
r5 -> r5 (clone_flags)
r6 -> r6 (stack_start, use parent->stack if NULL)
pt_regs -> r7 (pt_regs)
r7 -> r8 (stack_size)
r8 -> r9 (parent_tidptr)
r9 -> r10 (child_tidptr)

copy_to_user_page macro is used in mm/memory.c:access_process_vm
function. This function is called from ptrace code (POKETEXT, POKEDATA)
which write data to memory. Microblaze handle physical address for
caches that's why there is virt_to_phys conversion.
There is potential one location which can caused the problem on WB system.
The important is take a look at write PTRACEs requests
(POKE/TEXT, DATA, USR).
Note:
Majority of Microblaze PTRACE code is moved to generic location
in newer kernel version that's why this solution should work on
the newest kernel version too.
linux/io.h is in cacheflush because of mm/nommu.c
Tested on a WB system - hello world debugging.

nfs_commit_inode() needs to be defined irrespectively of whether or not
we are supporting NFSv3 and NFSv4.
Allow the compiler to optimise away code in the NFSv2-only case by

Debian's ia64 autobuilders have been seeing kernel freeze or reboot
when running the gdb testsuite (Debian bug 588574): dannf bisected to
2.6.32 62eede62da "mm: ZERO_PAGE without
PTE_SPECIAL"; and reproduced it with gdb's gcore on a simple target.
I'd missed updating the gate_vma handling in __get_user_pages(): that
happens to use vm_normal_page() (nowadays failing on the zero page),
yet reported success even when it failed to get a page - boom when
access_process_vm() tried to copy that to its intermediate buffer.
Fix this, resisting cleanups: in particular, leave it for now reporting
success when not asked to get any pages - very probably safe to change,
but let's not risk it without testing exposure.
Why did ia64 crash with 16kB pages, but succeed with 64kB pages?
Because setup_gate() pads each 64kB of its gate area with zero pages.

I was testing two CyberPro 2000 based PCI cards on x86 and the machine always
hanged completely when the cyber2000fb module was loaded. It seems that the
card hangs when some registers are accessed too quickly after writing RAMDAC
control register. With this patch, both card work.
Add delay after RAMDAC control register write to prevent hangs on module load.

__sa1111_remove always frees its argument, so the subsequent reference to
sachip->saved_state represents a use after free. __sa1111_remove does not
appear to use the saved_state field, so the patch simply frees it first.
A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

smp_processor_id() must not be called from a preemptible context (this
is checked by CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT). kmap_high_l1_vipt() was doing so.
This lead to a problem where the wrong per_cpu kmap_high_l1_vipt_depth
could be incremented, causing a BUG_ON(*depth <= 0); in
kunmap_high_l1_vipt().
The solution is to move the call to smp_processor_id() after the call
to preempt_disable().

In root_nfs_name() it does the following:
if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) > NFS_MAXPATHLEN) {
printk(KERN_ERR "Root-NFS: Pathname for remote directory too long.\n");
return -1;
}
sprintf(nfs_export_path, buf, cp);
In the original code if (strlen(buf) + strlen(cp) == NFS_MAXPATHLEN)
then the sprintf() would lead to an overflow. Generally the rest of the
code assumes that the path can have NFS_MAXPATHLEN (1024) characters and
a NUL terminator so the fix is to add space to the nfs_export_path[]
buffer.
