Various GCC tests use gdb to simulate a multithreaded application. Many of
these tests have been failing on parisc linux.

GCC does this by using gdb to single-step the application, then gdb is used to
call other test specific code. Where this fails is when the application is
stepped into the delay slot of a taken branch. This sets the PSW B bit. When
the test specific code is executed, this usually clears the PSW B bit.
Currently, gdb is not allowed to set the B bit. So, the code falls through what
should be a taken branch.

The attached patch adds the PSW B bit to the set of bits that gdb is allowed to
set. In order to set the B bit, the trace system call must return using an
interrupt restore. The patch also modifies this code to use the saved IAOQ
values when they are saved by a ptrace syscall or interruption.

The attached change fixes a float conversion problem found running the
GCC testsuite with GCC configured with --with-arch=2.0.

The actual problem occurs for an exponent value of 63. This is the
maximum exponent value that can be passed. This causes a left shift by
32 in the else hunk of the macro. This causes undefined behavior and the
wrong value is returned for dresultB. The fix is the check "exponent <=
62". If the exponent is 63, dresultB is set to 0. The patch also
optimizes the operation a bit by copying "Sall(sgl_value) <<
SGL_EXP_LENGTH" to val, so that sgl_value is not modified.

Commit 0d0863b0 ("sctp: Change defaults on cookie hmac selection")
added a "choice" to the sctp Kconfig file.  It introduced a bug which
led to an infinite loop when while running "make oldconfig".

The problem is that the wrong symbol was defined as the default value
for the choice.  Using the correct value gets rid of the infinite loop.

Note:  if CONFIG_SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_SHA1=y was present in the input
config file, both that and CONFIG_SCTP_COOKIE_HMAC_MD5=y be present

print_prefix() passes a NULL buf to print_time() to get the length of
the time prefix; when printk times are enabled, the current code just
returns the constant 15, which matches the format "[%5lu.%06lu] " used
to print the time value.  However, this is obviously incorrect when the
whole seconds part of the time gets beyond 5 digits (100000 seconds is a
bit more than a day of uptime).

The simple fix is to use snprintf(NULL, 0, ...) to calculate the actual
length of the time prefix.  This could be micro-optimized but it seems
better to have simpler, more readable code here.

The bug leads to the syslog system call miscomputing which messages fit
into the userspace buffer.  If there are enough messages to fill
log_buf_len and some have a timestamp >= 100000, dmesg may fail with:

    # dmesg
    klogctl: Bad address

When this happens, strace shows that the failure is indeed EFAULT due to
the kernel mistakenly accessing past the end of dmesg's buffer, since
dmesg asks the kernel how big a buffer it needs, allocates a bit more,
and then gets an error when it asks the kernel to fill it:

    syslog(0xa, 0, 0)                       = 1048576
    mmap(NULL, 1052672, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa4d25d2000
    syslog(0x3, 0x7fa4d25d2010, 0x100008)   = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

As far as I can see, the bug has been there as long as print_time(),
which comes from commit 084681d1 ("printk: flush continuation lines
immediately to console") in 3.5-rc5.
