[GIT PULL] parisc updates for v3.14

[GIT PULL] parisc updates for v3.14

[Helge Deller]

Hi Linus,

please pull the latest updates for the parisc architecture from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-for-3.14

The three major changes in this patchset is a implementation for flexible
userspace memory maps, cache-flushing fixes (again), and a long-discussed ABI
change to make EWOULDBLOCK the same value as EAGAIN.

parisc has been the only platform where we had EWOULDBLOCK != EAGAIN to keep
HP-UX compatibility.  Since we will probably never implement full HP-UX
support, we prefer to drop this compatibility to make it easier for us with
Linux userspace programs which mostly never checked for both values.  We don't
expect major fall-outs because of this change, and if we face some, we will
simply rebuild the necessary applications in the debian archives.

The change to fs/exec.c only touches code which affects parisc since it's
inside a #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP section (and parisc is the only platform
where the stack grows upwards).

Thanks,
Helge

Great! I didn't know that we now have another platform where the stack
grows upwards! Now we are not alone in this regard!

Anyway, the suggested & untested patch below should fix the metag arch
to cope which my changes to fs/exec.c  (unless the metag people want to
implement proper stack randomization too).  Either I can push it via the
parisc tree, or you can take it via the metag tree. Please let me know.

I don't think that works. That completely breaks randomize_stack_top().

So I'm not going to pull the parisc tree, this needs to be resolved sanely.

In fact, I think that change to fs/exec.c is just completely broken:

+       /* add some more stack size for stack randomization */
+       stack_base += STACK_RND_MASK + 1;

and that "+1" just doesn't make sense, and fundamentally breaks STACK_RND_MASK.

It also seems to be entirely pointless, since the PAGE_ALIGN() that
comes right afterwards will effectively do it anyway.

So NAK on that whole fs/exec.c change. Afaik it's just wrong, and it's stupid.

You are completely right - I have no idea what I was thinking.
I have removed completely the changes to fs/exec.c, built up a new
tree for you to pull and boot-tested it with 32- and 64bit parisc kernels.

Can you please consider pulling this new tree?

[GIT PULL] parisc updates for v3.14

[Helge Deller]

Hi Linus,

please consider pulling some late patches for the parisc architecture from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-3.14

This patchset 
- reverts parts of my latest patch regarding font selection with STICON console,
- wires up the utimes() syscall for parisc, and
- removes the unused parisc tmpalias code and unnecessary arch*relax defines

Thanks,
Helge
