Honestly, I can't decide whether to apply this. It really should never
happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the
access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and
%protid to whatever it wants.)
It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The
only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a
general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27
here.
On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really
isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the
kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue...
Argh.
(btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that
%cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're
getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't
be.)

parisc: add uevent helper for parisc bus
udev device-driver auto detection was failing to work on the GSC bus, since
udev didn't knew wich driver to load due to a missing MODALIAS environment
variable from kernel.
This patch fixes this by adding the MODALIAS environment variable to the
uevent kernel notifications.
Since modalias_show() generated the modalias string already, I splitted this
out and created a new static function make_modalias() which is now used by
modalias_show() and the new parisc_uevent() function.
Tested on 715/64 and c3000.

Create a new __space_to_prot inline to convert the space id (mmu context)
to a protection id. Sadly it doesn't look like the #ifdef can be eliminated
since relying on the compiler to not truncate a bit on
return (ctx >> SPACEID_SHIFT) << 1;
seems a little dodgy.

Since unwind_frame_init_from_blocked_task() may be called from
interrupt/in_atomic context, it needs to kmalloc() memory with
GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_KERNEL.

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.
The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.
Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).
This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits;
CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too
much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two
variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space.
Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so
the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed
in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as
I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.

As suggested by Andreas Dilger, introduce a bgl_lock_ptr() helper in
<linux/blockgroup_lock.h> and add separate sb_bgl_lock() helpers to
filesystem specific header files to break the hidden dependency to
struct ext[234]_sb_info.
Also, while at it, convert the macros to static inlines to try make up
for all the times I broke Andrew Morton's tree.

Problem: ordering between the rules on exit chain is currently lost;
all watch and inode rules are listed after everything else _and_
exit,never on one kind doesn't stop exit,always on another from
being matched.
Solution: assign priorities to rules, keep track of the current
highest-priority matching rule and its result (always/never).

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.
However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.
This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

They are actually alpha vs. i386/arm/m68k i.e. ecoff vs. aout.
In the only place where we actually tried to handle arm and i386/m68k in
different ways (START_DATA() in coredump handling), the arm variant
works for all of them (i386 and m68k have u.start_code set to 0).
