Merge branch 'parisc-4.11-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux
Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
"Al Viro reported that - in case of read faults - our copy_from_user()
implementation may claim to have copied more bytes than it actually
did. In order to fix this bug and because of the way how gcc optimizes
register usage for inline assembly in C code, we had to replace our
pa_memcpy() function with a pure assembler implementation.
While fixing the memcpy bug we noticed some other issues with our
get_user() and put_user() functions, e.g. nested faults may return
wrong data. This is now fixed by a common fixup handler for
get_user/put_user in the exception handler which additionally makes
generated code smaller and faster.
The third patch is a trivial one-line fix for a patch which went in
during 4.11-rc and which avoids stalled CPU warnings after power
shutdown (for parisc machines which can't plug power off themselves).
Due to the rewrite of pa_memcpy() into assembly this patch got bigger
than what I wanted to have sent at this stage.
Those patches have been running in production during the last few days
on our debian build servers without any further issues"
