[GIT PULL] parisc updates for the 2.6.38 merge window

[GIT PULL] parisc updates for the 2.6.38 merge window

[James Bottomley]

There are two major changes in this: one is our full conversion to the
generic IRQ handlers thanks to tglx and the other is switching us to use
tmpalias flushing (a change which means that our coherency no-longer
relies on the mechanics of page tables being present).  We still have
quite a lot of work to do, but the change to tmpalias flushing is at
last allowing us to track down some of the very infrequent coherency
issues on the platform.

The patch is available here:

master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/parisc-2.6.git#for-linus

The short changelog is:

James Bottomley (3):
      [PARISC] fix vmap flush/invalidate
      eliminate special FLUSH flag from page table
      parisc: flush pages through tmpalias space

Thomas Gleixner (2):
      [PARISC] Convert to new irq_chip functions
      [PARISC] fix per-cpu flag problem in the cpu affinity checkers

Yes well as you and several others noticed I forgot to forward port the pull template.

[GIT PULL] parisc updates for the 2.6.38 merge window

[James Bottomley]

There are is one major fix in this: hopefully a final end to some of the
segfault issues on the platform caused by aggressive icache speculation.
Also, all of the currently missing syscalls on the platform are wired up

The patch is available here:

master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/parisc-2.6.git#for-linus

The short changelog is:

James Bottomley (6):
      [PARISC] wire up syncfs syscall
      [PARISC] wire up the fhandle syscalls
      [PARISC] wire up clock_adjtime syscall
      [PARISC] wire up fanotify syscalls
      [PARISC] prevent speculative re-read on cache flush
      [PARISC] only make executable areas executable

Meelis Roos (1):
      [PARISC] fix pacache .size with new binutils
