commit e5a16a5c4602c119262f350274021f90465f479d upstream.

test_bit(), as any other bitmap op, takes `unsigned long *` as a
second argument (pointer to the actual bitmap), as any bitmap
itself is an array of unsigned longs. However, the ia64_get_irr()
code passes a ref to `u64` as a second argument.
This works with the ia64 bitops implementation due to that they
have `void *` as the second argument and then cast it later on.
This works with the bitmap API itself due to that `unsigned long`
has the same size on ia64 as `u64` (`unsigned long long`), but
from the compiler PoV those two are different.
Define @irr as `unsigned long` to fix that. That implies no
functional changes. Has been hidden for 16 years!

Fixes: a58786917ce2 ("[IA64] avoid broken SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementations")

[ Upstream commit 5d8de293c224896a4da99763fce4f9794308caf4 ]

Patch series "Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter", v5.

For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done.
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should take
this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that work
myself.

This patch (of 3):

Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor, but
I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to take an
iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter() and add
a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.

<title>ia64: define get_cycles macro for arch-override</title>

commit 57c0900b91d8891ab43f0e6b464d059fda51d102 upstream.

Itanium defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().

Pull ptrace cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
  the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
  permission check to ptrace.c

  The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
  source of confusion in recent years. Much of that confusion was around
  task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled making the
  semantics clearer).

  For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
  implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
  was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged. For many
  years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
  bit at a time. To the point where anything left in tracehook.h was
  some weird strange thing that was difficult to understand"

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Livepatch support for 32-bit is probably the standout new feature,
  otherwise mostly just lots of bits and pieces all over the board.

  There's a series of commits cleaning up function descriptor handling,
  which touches a few other arches as well as LKDTM. It has acks from
  Arnd, Kees and Helge.

  Summary:

   - Enforce kernel RO, and implement STRICT_MODULE_RWX for 603.

   - Add support for livepatch to 32-bit.

   - Implement CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

   - Merge vdso64 and vdso32 into a single directory.

   - Fix build errors with newer binutils.

   - Add support for UADDR64 relocations, which are emitted by some
     toolchains. This allows powerpc to build with the latest lld.

   - Fix (another) potential userspace r13 corruption in transactional
     memory handling.

   - Cleanups of function descriptor handling &amp; related fixes to LKDTM.
