[ Upstream commit a9f675f950a07d5c1dbcbb97aabac56f5ed085e3 ]

The code in vdso_cpu_init that exposes the cpu and numa node to
userspace via SPRG_VDSO incorrctly masks the cpu to 12 bits. This means
that any kernel running on a box with more than 4096 threads (NR_CPUS
advertises a limit of of 8192 cpus) would expose userspace to two cpu
contexts running at the same time with the same cpu number.

Note: I'm not aware of any distro shipping a kernel with support for more
than 4096 threads today, nor of any system image that currently exceeds
4096 threads. Found via code browsing.

<title>powerpc/vdso: remove deprecated VDS64_HAS_DESCRIPTORS references</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ffd3eaf178b0f616a071e510e289d937330b0b35</id>
<content type='text'>
The original 2005 patch that introduced the powerpc vdso, pre-git
("ppc64: Implement a vDSO and use it for signal trampoline") notes that:

  ... symbols exposed by the vDSO aren't "normal" function symbols, apps
  can't be expected to link against them directly, the vDSO's are both
  seen as if they were linked at 0 and the symbols just contain offsets
  to the various functions.  This is done on purpose to avoid a
  relocation step (ppc64 functions normally have descriptors with abs
  addresses in them).  When glibc uses those functions, it's expected to
  use it's own trampolines that know how to reach them.

Despite that explanation, there remains dead #ifdef
VDS64_HAS_DESCRIPTORS code-blocks that provide alternate function
definitions that setup function descriptors.

Since VDS64_HAS_DESCRIPTORS has been unused for all these years, we
might as well finally remove it from the codebase.

The VDSO is part of the kernel image and therefore the struct pages are
marked as reserved during boot.

As we install a special mapping, the actual struct pages will never be
exposed to MM via the page tables.  We can therefore leave the pages
marked as reserved.

<title>powerpc: split compat syscall table out from native table</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fbf508da744053ff289777d6dd6e11ca8682be49</id>
<content type='text'>
PowerPC uses a syscall table with native and compat calls
interleaved, which is a slightly simpler way to define two
matching tables.

As we move to having the tables generated, that advantage
is no longer important, but the interleaved table gets in
the way of using the same scripts as on the other archit-
ectures.

Split out a new compat_sys_call_table symbol that contains
all the compat calls, and leave the main table for the nat-
ive calls, to more closely match the method we use every-
where else.

<title>treewide: kzalloc() -&gt; kcalloc()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6396bb221514d2876fd6dc0aa2a1f240d99b37bb</id>
<content type='text'>
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:
