Addition of vDSO support for parisc in kernel v5.18 suddenly broke glibc
signal testcases on a 32-bit kernel.
The trampoline code (sigtramp.S) which is mapped into userspace includes
an offset to the context data on the stack, which is used by gdb and
glibc to get access to registers.
In a 32-bit kernel we used by mistake the offset into the compat context
(which is valid on a 64-bit kernel only) instead of the offset into the
"native" 32-bit context.

that it is marked volatile which is basically correct, because mfctl()
is used to get e.g. the current internal timer or interrupt flags as
well.
But specifically the task struct pointer (%cr30) doesn't change over
time when the kernel executes code for a task.
So, by dropping the volatile when retrieving %cr30 the compiler is now
able to get this value only once and optimize the generated code a lot.

Add minimal vDSO support, which provides the signal trampoline helpers,
but none of the userspace syscall helpers like time wrappers.
The big benefit of this vDSO implementation is, that we now don't need
an executeable stack any longer. PA-RISC is one of the last
architectures where an executeable stack was needed in oder to implement
the signal trampolines by putting assembly instructions on the stack
which then gets executed. Instead the kernel will provide the relevant
code in the vDSO page and only put the pointers to the signal
information on the stack.
By dropping the need for executable stacks we avoid running into issues
with applications which want non executable stacks for security reasons.
Additionally, alternative stacks on memory areas without exec
permissions are supported too.
This code is based on an initial implementation by Randolph Chung from 2006:

Usually the kernel provides fixup routines to emulate the fldd and fstd
floating-point instructions if they load or store 8-byte from/to a not
natuarally aligned memory location.
On a 32-bit kernel I noticed that those unaligned handlers didn't worked and
instead the application got a SEGV.
While checking the code I found two problems:
First, the OPCODE_FLDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L cases were ifdef'ed out by the
CONFIG_PA20 option, and as such those weren't built on a pure 32-bit kernel.
This is now fixed by moving the CONFIG_PA20 #ifdef to prevent the compilation
of OPCODE_LDD_L and OPCODE_FSTD_L only, and handling the fldd and fstd
instructions.
The second problem are two bugs in the 32-bit inline assembly code, where the
wrong registers where used. The calculation of the natural alignment used %2
(vall) instead of %3 (ior), and the first word was stored back to address %1
(valh) instead of %3 (ior).

Add a config option CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_LEGACY_ACCELERATION to
enable bitblt and fillrect hardware acceleration in the framebuffer
console. If disabled, such acceleration will not be used, even if it is
supported by the graphics hardware driver.
If you plan to use DRM as your main graphics output system, you should
disable this option since it will prevent compiling in code which isn't
used later on when DRM takes over.
For all other configurations, e.g. if none of your graphic cards support
DRM (yet), DRM isn't available for your architecture, or you can't be
sure that the graphic card in the target system will support DRM, you
most likely want to enable this option.
In the non-accelerated case (e.g. when DRM is used), the inlined
fb_scrollmode() function is hardcoded to return SCROLL_REDRAW and as such the
compiler is able to optimize much unneccesary code away.
In this v3 patch version I additionally changed the GETVYRES() and GETVXRES()
macros to take a pointer to the fbcon_display struct. This fixes the build when
console rotation is enabled and helps the compiler again to optimize out code.

This reverts commit 39aead8373.
Revert the first (of 2) commits which disabled scrolling acceleration in
fbcon/fbdev. It introduced a regression for fbdev-supported graphic cards
because of the performance penalty by doing screen scrolling by software
instead of using the existing graphic card 2D hardware acceleration.
Console scrolling acceleration was disabled by dropping code which
checked at runtime the driver hardware capabilities for the
BINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA or FBINFO_HWACCEL_FILLRECT flags and if set, it
enabled scrollmode SCROLL_MOVE which uses hardware acceleration to move
screen contents. After dropping those checks scrollmode was hard-wired
to SCROLL_REDRAW instead, which forces all graphic cards to redraw every
character at the new screen position when scrolling.
This change effectively disabled all hardware-based scrolling acceleration for
ALL drivers, because now all kind of 2D hardware acceleration (bitblt,
fillrect) in the drivers isn't used any longer.
The original commit message mentions that only 3 DRM drivers (nouveau, omapdrm
and gma500) used hardware acceleration in the past and thus code for checking
and using scrolling acceleration is obsolete.
This statement is NOT TRUE, because beside the DRM drivers there are around 35
other fbdev drivers which depend on fbdev/fbcon and still provide hardware
acceleration for fbdev/fbcon.
The original commit message also states that syzbot found lots of bugs in fbcon
and thus it's "often the solution to just delete code and remove features".
This is true, and the bugs - which actually affected all users of fbcon,
including DRM - were fixed, or code was dropped like e.g. the support for
software scrollback in vgacon (commit 973c096f6a).
So to further analyze which bugs were found by syzbot, I've looked through all
patches in drivers/video which were tagged with syzbot or syzkaller back to
year 2005. The vast majority fixed the reported issues on a higher level, e.g.
when screen is to be resized, or when font size is to be changed. The few ones
which touched driver code fixed a real driver bug, e.g. by adding a check.
But NONE of those patches touched code of either the SCROLL_MOVE or the
SCROLL_REDRAW case.
That means, there was no real reason why SCROLL_MOVE had to be ripped-out and
just SCROLL_REDRAW had to be used instead. The only reason I can imagine so far
was that SCROLL_MOVE wasn't used by DRM and as such it was assumed that it
could go away. That argument completely missed the fact that SCROLL_MOVE is
still heavily used by fbdev (non-DRM) drivers.
Some people mention that using memcpy() instead of the hardware acceleration is
pretty much the same speed. But that's not true, at least not for older graphic
cards and machines where we see speed decreases by factor 10 and more and thus
this change leads to console responsiveness way worse than before.
That's why the original commit is to be reverted. By reverting we
reintroduce hardware-based scrolling acceleration and fix the
performance regression for fbdev drivers.
There isn't any impact on DRM when reverting those patches.

software instead of using the existing graphic card 2D hardware
acceleration.
Console scrolling acceleration was disabled by dropping code which
checked at runtime the driver hardware capabilities for the
BINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA or FBINFO_HWACCEL_FILLRECT flags and if set, it
enabled scrollmode SCROLL_MOVE which uses hardware acceleration to move
screen contents. After dropping those checks scrollmode was hard-wired
to SCROLL_REDRAW instead, which forces all graphic cards to redraw every
character at the new screen position when scrolling.
This change effectively disabled all hardware-based scrolling acceleration for
ALL drivers, because now all kind of 2D hardware acceleration (bitblt,
fillrect) in the drivers isn't used any longer.
The original commit message mentions that only 3 DRM drivers (nouveau, omapdrm
and gma500) used hardware acceleration in the past and thus code for checking
and using scrolling acceleration is obsolete.
This statement is NOT TRUE, because beside the DRM drivers there are around 35
other fbdev drivers which depend on fbdev/fbcon and still provide hardware
acceleration for fbdev/fbcon.
The original commit message also states that syzbot found lots of bugs in fbcon
and thus it's "often the solution to just delete code and remove features".
This is true, and the bugs - which actually affected all users of fbcon,
including DRM - were fixed, or code was dropped like e.g. the support for
software scrollback in vgacon (commit 973c096f6a).
So to further analyze which bugs were found by syzbot, I've looked through all
patches in drivers/video which were tagged with syzbot or syzkaller back to
year 2005. The vast majority fixed the reported issues on a higher level, e.g.
when screen is to be resized, or when font size is to be changed. The few ones
which touched driver code fixed a real driver bug, e.g. by adding a check.
But NONE of those patches touched code of either the SCROLL_MOVE or the
SCROLL_REDRAW case.
That means, there was no real reason why SCROLL_MOVE had to be ripped-out and
just SCROLL_REDRAW had to be used instead. The only reason I can imagine so far
was that SCROLL_MOVE wasn't used by DRM and as such it was assumed that it
could go away. That argument completely missed the fact that SCROLL_MOVE is
still heavily used by fbdev (non-DRM) drivers.
Some people mention that using memcpy() instead of the hardware acceleration is
pretty much the same speed. But that's not true, at least not for older graphic
cards and machines where we see speed decreases by factor 10 and more and thus
this change leads to console responsiveness way worse than before.
That's why the original commit is to be reverted. By reverting we
reintroduce hardware-based scrolling acceleration and fix the
performance regression for fbdev drivers.
There isn't any impact on DRM when reverting those patches.

Fix a missing prototype warning noticed by the kernel test robot.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>

Usually palo (the PA-RISC boot loader) will check at boot time if the
machine/firmware was configured to use the serial line (ttyS0, SERIAL_x)
or the graphical display (tty0, graph) as default output device and add
the correct "console=ttyS0" or "console=tty0" Linux kernel parameter to
the kernel command line when starting the Linux kernel.
But the kernel could also have been started via the HP-UX boot loader
or directly in qemu, in which cases the console parameter is missing.
This patch fixes this problem by adding the correct console= parameter
if it's missing in the current kernel command line.

With CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y, the function is_ksym_addr() is used to
determine if a symbol is from inside the kernel range. For that the
given symbol address is checked if it's inside the _stext to _end range.
Although this is correct, some architectures (e.g. parisc) may have the
init area before the _stext address and as such the check in
is_ksym_addr() fails. By extending the range check to include the init
section, __is_kernel() will now detect symbols in this range as well.
This fixes an issue on parisc where addresses of kernel functions in
init sections aren't resolved to their symbol names.

No need to have an own hpmc_stack. Just re-use the toc_stack of the

Before this patch, the TOC code used a pre-allocated stack of 16kb for
each possible CPU. That space overhead was the reason why the TOC
feature wasn't enabled by default for 32-bit kernels.
This patch rewrites the TOC code to use a per-cpu stack. That way we use
much less memory now and as such we enable the TOC feature by default on
all kernels.
Additionally the dump of the registers and the stacktrace wasn't
serialized, which led to multiple CPUs printing the stack backtrace at
once which rendered the output unreadable.
Now the backtraces are nicely serialized by a lock.

Use register r29 instead of register r8 to signal faults when accessing
user memory. In case of faults, the fixup routine will store -EFAULT in
this register.
This change saves up to 752 bytes on a 32bit kernel, partly because the
compiler doesn't need to save and restore the old r8 value on the stack.
bloat-o-meter results for usage with r29 register:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 23/86 up/down: 228/-980 (-752)

When a trap 7 (Instruction access rights) occurs, this means the CPU
couldn't execute an instruction due to missing execute permissions on
the memory region. In this case it seems the CPU didn't even fetched
the instruction from memory and thus did not store it in the cr19 (IIR)
register before calling the trap handler. So, the trap handler will find
some random old stale value in cr19.
This patch simply overwrites the stale IIR value with a constant magic
"bad food" value (0xbaadf00d), in the hope people don't start to try to
understand the various random IIR values in trap 7 dumps.

In commit c8c3735997 ("parisc: Enhance detection of synchronous cr16
clocksources") I assumed that CPUs on the same physical core are syncronous.
While booting up the kernel on two different C8000 machines, one with a
dual-core PA8800 and one with a dual-core PA8900 CPU, this turned out to be
wrong. The symptom was that I saw a jump in the internal clocks printed to the
syslog and strange overall behaviour. On machines which have 4 cores (2
dual-cores) the problem isn't visible, because the current logic already marked
the cr16 clocksource unstable in this case.
This patch now marks the cr16 interval timers unstable if we have more than one
CPU in the system, and it fixes this issue.

The problem is, that we have an init section of at least 2MB size which
starts at _stext and is freed after bootup.
If then later some kernel data is (temporarily) stored in this free
memory, check_kernel_text_object() will trigger a bug since the data
appears to be inside the kernel text (>=_stext) area:
if (overlaps(ptr, len, _stext, _etext))
usercopy_abort("kernel text");
