Paul Mackerras 6bfd93c32a powerpc: Fix incorrect might_sleep in __get_user/__put_user on kernel addresses
We have a case where __get_user and __put_user can validly be used
on kernel addresses in interrupt context - namely, the alignment
exception handler, as our get/put_unaligned just do a single access
and rely on the alignment exception handler to fix things up in the
rare cases where the cpu can't handle it in hardware.  Thus we can
get alignment exceptions in the network stack at interrupt level.
The alignment exception handler does a __get_user to read the
instruction and blows up in might_sleep().

Since a __get_user on a kernel address won't actually ever sleep,
this makes the might_sleep conditional on the address being less
than PAGE_OFFSET.

David Gibson 3ddfbcf19b [PATCH] powerpc: Consolidate asm compatibility macros
This patch consolidates macros used to generate assembly for
compatibility across different CPUs or configs.  A new header,
asm-powerpc/asm-compat.h contains the main compatibility macros.  It
uses some preprocessor magic to make the macros suitable both for use
in .S files, and in inline asm in .c files.  Headers (bitops.h,
uaccess.h, atomic.h, bug.h) which had their own such compatibility
macros are changed to use asm-compat.h.

ppc_asm.h is now for use in .S files *only*, and a #error enforces
that.  As such, we're a lot more careless about namespace pollution
here than in asm-compat.h.

While we're at it, this patch adds a call to the PPC405_ERR77 macro in
futex.h which should have had it already, but didn't.

Built and booted on pSeries, Maple and iSeries (ARCH=powerpc).  Built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

Stephen Rothwell 5015b49448 powerpc: fix __strnlen_user in merge tree
Change USER/KERNEL_DS so that the merged version of
__strnlen_user can be used which allows us to complete the
removal of arch/ppc64/lib/.

There is still a bug to be fixed and more merging to be done.
