7f5620a5fc sparc: Set UTS_MACHINE correctly.
"ARCH" can be just about anything, so we shouldn't end up
with UTS_MACHINE of "sparc" in a 64-bit kernel build just
because someone set the personality using 'sparc32' or
similar.  CONFIG_SPARC64 drives the compilation and
therefore provides the definitive value, not "ARCH".

This mirrors commit 8c6531f7a9
(x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86")

2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

bffbc94a4d sparc64: Fix definition of VMEMMAP_SIZE.
This was the cause of various boot failures on V480, V880, etc.
systems.

Kernel image memory was being overwritten because the vmemmap[]
array was being sized to small.  So if you had physical memory
addresses past a certain point, the early bootup would spam
all over variables in the kernel data section.

The vmemmap mappings map page structs, not page struct pointers.
And that was the key thinko in the macro definition.

This was fixable thanks to the help, reports, and tireless patience
of Hermann Lauer.

commit ab772027 (sparc: arch/sparc/kernel/apc.c to unlocked_ioctl)
added lock/unlock_kernel() to the apc ioctl code.

The code needs no serialization at all. Neither put/get_user nor the
read/write access to the sbus devices require it. Remove BKL.

cycle_kernel_lock() was added during the big BKL pushdown. It should
ensure the serializiation against driver init code. In this case there
is nothing to serialize. Remove it as well.

9d24c888c7 of: Rework linux/of.h and asm/prom.h include ordering
In preparation to prune things out of the Sparc, PowerPC and Microblaze
asm/prom.h files, change the #include statements to ensure that
even if asm/prom.h is included first, linux/of.h gets to determine the
order in which files are processed.

This patch adds a #include <linux/of.h> to each of the prom.h files
*above* the multi-include protection macros to ensure that linux/of.h
can define things before prom.h gets processed.

At the end of the merge the cross dependencies between the files should
be gone and a sane #include scheme can be restored.

a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

3b885787ea net: Generalize socket rx gap / receive queue overflow cmsg
Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows

Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames.  This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg.  AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option.  As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames.  It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count).  Tested
successfully by me.

Notes:

1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.

2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me.  This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.

3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit
977750076d (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted

1a78cedb99 sparc64: Fix D-cache flushing on swapin from SW devices.
Thanks to tip form ARM folks and Russell King.

If flush_dcache_page() occurs on a swapin it will have a mapping
and we'll try to defer the flush by setting the dirty bit.

But when it hits update_dcache_page() we won't flush because the
page won't have a mapping any more.  So remove the mapping
requirement in flush_dcache().

906010b213 perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing
Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.

These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.

However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.
