This is based upon a report from Chris Torek and his initial patch.
From Chris's report:
--------------------
This came up in testing kgdb, using the built-in tests -- turn
on CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS, then
echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts
-- but it would affect using kgdb if you were debugging and looking
at bad pointers.
--------------------
When we get a copy_{from,to}_user() request and the %asi is set to
something other than ASI_AIUS (which is userspace) then we branch off
to a routine called memcpy_user_stub(). It just does a straight
memcpy since we are copying from kernel to kernel in this case.
The logic was that since source and destination are both kernel
pointers we don't need to have exception checks.
But for what probe_kernel_{read,write}() is trying to do, we have to
have the checks, otherwise things like kgdb bad kernel pointer
accesses don't do the right thing.

This is an implementation of a suggestion made by Chris Torek:
--------------------
Something else I noticed in passing: the EX and EX_LD/EX_ST macros
scattered throughout the various .S files make a fair bit of .fixup
code, all of which does the same thing. At the cost of one symbol
in copy_in_user.S, you could just have one common two-instruction
retl-and-mov-1 fixup that they all share.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc-2.6:
sparc64: Kill bogus TPC/address truncation during 32-bit faults.
sparc: fixup for sparseirq changes
sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.
sparc64: On non-Niagara, need to touch NMI watchdog in NOHZ mode.
sparc64: Implement NMI watchdog on capable cpus.
sparc: Probe PMU type and record in sparc_pmu_type.
sparc64: Move generic PCR support code to seperate file.
The removed version with the loop registers saved on the stack was
originally intended to workaround the missing toolchain support for
LoopReg Clobbers.
Since our toolchain now supports these there is no point in keeping this
workaround. And since we don't touch LoopRegs anymore we're no longer
subject for ANOMALY_05000312.

when requesting a GPIO for the first time, the POLAR setting is not
set to a sane state. this can lead to indeterminate behavior that
cannot be resolved without an explicit write to the Blackfin port POLAR
register.
when requesting a GPIO for the first time via gpio_request(), the POLAR
setting for the GPIO in question should be set to sane state. this
should occur if the GPIO has not been allocated in any other way.
some examples:
- when doing something like "request_irq(); gpio_request();" on the
same GPIO, the POLAR setting should not be reset.
- when doing "gpio_request(); gpio_request();" on the same GPIO, the
POLAR setting should be reset only the first time and not the second.

Commit 05fe478dd0 introduced some
@wbc->nr_to_write breakage.
It made the following changes:
1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write
2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode ==
WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going.
However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make
change 3. Change 1 is a bug. Change 2 does not seem to be necessary,
and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done
separately later. And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the
commit message.
This patch does the following:
1. Undo changes 1 and 2
2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments
in _code_, not only in the commit).
