<title>audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archs</title>

Every arch calls:

if (unlikely(current-&gt;audit_context))
	audit_syscall_entry()

which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in
the arch code.  Just do it all in static inline in audit.h so that arch's
can remain blissfully ignorant.

<title>Audit: push audit success and retcode into arch ptrace.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d7e7528bcd456f5c36ad4a202ccfb43c5aa98bc4</id>
<content type='text'>
The audit system previously expected arches calling to audit_syscall_exit to
supply as arguments if the syscall was a success and what the return code was.
Audit also provides a helper AUDITSC_RESULT which was supposed to simplify things
by converting from negative retcodes to an audit internal magic value stating
success or failure.  This helper was wrong and could indicate that a valid
pointer returned to userspace was a failed syscall.  The fix is to fix the
layering foolishness.  We now pass audit_syscall_exit a struct pt_reg and it
in turns calls back into arch code to collect the return value and to
determine if the syscall was a success or failure.  We also define a generic
is_syscall_success() macro which determines success/failure based on if the
value is &lt; -MAX_ERRNO.  This works for arches like x86 which do not use a
separate mechanism to indicate syscall failure.

We make both the is_syscall_success() and regs_return_value() static inlines
instead of macros.  The reason is because the audit function must take a void*
for the regs.  (uml calls theirs struct uml_pt_regs instead of just struct
pt_regs so audit_syscall_exit can't take a struct pt_regs).  Since the audit
function takes a void* we need to use static inlines to cast it back to the
arch correct structure to dereference it.

The other major change is that on some arches, like ia64, MIPS and ppc, we
change regs_return_value() to give us the negative value on syscall failure.
THE only other user of this macro, kretprobe_example.c, won't notice and it
makes the value signed consistently for the audit functions across all archs.

In arch/sh/kernel/ptrace_64.c I see that we were using regs[9] in the old
audit code as the return value.  But the ptrace_64.h code defined the macro
regs_return_value() as regs[3].  I have no idea which one is correct, but this
patch now uses the regs_return_value() function, so it now uses regs[3].

For powerpc we previously used regs-&gt;result but now use the
regs_return_value() function which uses regs-&gt;gprs[3].  regs-&gt;gprs[3] is
always positive so the regs_return_value(), much like ia64 makes it negative
before calling the audit code when appropriate.

<title>sparc32: forced setting of mode of sun4m per-cpu timers</title>

<content type='text'>
SUN4M per-cpu timers have two modes of work. These are timer mode and
counter mode. Kernel doesn't write anything to the register, which is
connected with mode choice.
So, the mode is chosen by bootloader. This patch forces to use timer
mode from the kernel and to be independent of bootloader.

I had this problem with OpenBIOS. Timers don't tick and kernel fails on
QEMU, when it's compiled with SMP support. The patch fixes problem.

Convert from pci_scan_bus_parented() to pci_scan_root_bus() and remove root
bus resource fixups.  This fixes the problem of "early" and "header" quirks
seeing incorrect root bus resources.

pci_scan_root_bus() also includes the pci_bus_add_devices() so we don't
need to do that separately.

Convert from pci_create_bus() to pci_create_root_bus().  This way the root
bus resources are correct immediately.  This patch doesn't fix a problem
because sparc fixed the resources before scanning the bus, but it makes
sparc more consistent with other architectures.

v2: fix build error (from sfr)
