Processes are getting killed (sigbus or segv) while walking userspace
callchains when using perf. In some instances I have seen ufp = 0x7ff
which does not seem like a proper stack address.
This patch adds a function to run validity checks against the address
before attempting the copy_from_user. The checks are copied from the
x86 version as a start point with the addition of a 4-byte alignment
check.

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls. Since sparc does select
ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is necessary to use for_each_sg() in order to loop
over each sg element. This also help find problems with drivers that do
not properly initialize their sg tables when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is enabled.

On Sparc systems, update_persistent_clock() uses RTC drivers to do
the job, it makes more sense to hand it over to CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC.
In the long run, all the update_persistent_clock() should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers if any and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE
Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while
the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7
processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel
sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well
for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor
which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel
is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory
corruption detection in TTE erroneously.

Add PCI slot numbers within sysfs for PCIe hardware. Larger
PCIe systems with nested PCI bridges and slots further
down on these bridges were not being populated within sysfs.
This will add ACPI style PCI slot numbers for these systems
since the OF 'slot-names' information is not available on
all PCIe platforms.

sparc64: Setup sysfs to mark LDOM sockets, cores and threads correctly
The current sparc kernel has no representation for sockets though tools
like lscpu can pull this from sysfs. This patch walks the machine
description cache and socket hierarchy and marks sockets as well as cores
and threads such that a representative sysfs is created by
drivers/base/topology.c.
Before this patch:
$ lscpu

Byte Order: Big Endian
CPU(s): 1024
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-1023

Pull sparc fixes from David Miller:
1) ldc_alloc_exp_dring() can be called from softints, so use
GFP_ATOMIC. From Sowmini Varadhan.
2) Some minor warning/build fixups for the new iommu-common code on
certain archs and with certain debug options enabled. Also from
Sowmini Varadhan.

vnet_control_pkt_engine -> ... -> vnet_send_attr ->
vnet_port_alloc_tx_ring -> ldc_alloc_exp_dring -> kzalloc()

Note that this conversion is only being done to consolidate the
code and ensure that the common code provides the sufficient
abstraction. It is not expected to result in any noticeable
performance improvement, as there is typically one ldc_iommu
per vnet_port, and each one has 8k entries, with a typical
request for 1-4 pages. Thus LDC uses npools == 1.

Commit 920c3ed741 ("[SPARC64]: Add basic infrastructure for MD
add/remove notification") has added __GFP_NOFAIL for the allocation
request but it hasn't mentioned why is this strict requirement really
needed. The code was handling an allocation failure and propagated it
properly up the callchain so it is not clear why it is needed.
Dave has clarified the intention when I tried to remove the flag as not
being necessary:
: It is a serious failure.
:
: If we miss an MDESC update due to this allocation failure, the update
: is not an event which gets retransmitted so we will lose the updated
: machine description forever.
:
: We really need this allocation to succeed.
So add a comment to clarify the nofail flag and get rid of the failure
check because __GFP_NOFAIL allocation doesn't fail.
