binfmt_flat loader uses the gap between text and data to store data
segment pointers for the libraries. Even in the absence of shared
libraries it stores at least one pointer to the executable's own data
segment. Text and data can go back to back in the flat binary image and
without offsetting data segment last few instructions in the text
segment may get corrupted by the data segment pointer.
Fix it by reverting commit a2357223c50a ("binfmt_flat: don't offset the
data start").

__init_FSCR() was added originally in commit 2468dcf641e4 ("powerpc:
Add support for context switching the TAR register") (Feb 2013), and
only set FSCR_TAR.
At that point FSCR (Facility Status and Control Register) was not
context switched, so the setting was permanent after boot.
Later we added initialisation of FSCR_DSCR to __init_FSCR(), in commit
54c9b2253d34 ("powerpc: Set DSCR bit in FSCR setup") (Mar 2013), again
that was permanent after boot.
Then commit 2517617e0de6 ("powerpc: Fix context switch DSCR on
POWER8") (Aug 2013) added a limited context switch of FSCR, just the
FSCR_DSCR bit was context switched based on thread.dscr_inherit. That
commit said "This clears the H/FSCR DSCR bit initially", but it
didn't, it left the initialisation of FSCR_DSCR in __init_FSCR().
However the initial context switch from init_task to pid 1 would clear
FSCR_DSCR because thread.dscr_inherit was 0.
That commit also introduced the requirement that FSCR_DSCR be clear
for user processes, so that we can take the facility unavailable
interrupt in order to manage dscr_inherit.
Then in commit 152d523e6307 ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers
save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") (Dec 2015) FSCR was added to
thread_struct. However it still wasn't fully context switched, we just
took the existing value and set FSCR_DSCR if the new thread had
dscr_inherit set. FSCR was still initialised at boot to FSCR_DSCR |
FSCR_TAR, but that value was not propagated into the thread_struct, so
the initial context switch set FSCR_DSCR back to 0.
Finally commit b57bd2de8c6c ("powerpc: Improve FSCR init and context
switching") (Jun 2016) added a full context switch of the FSCR, and
added an initialisation of init_task.thread.fscr to FSCR_TAR |
FSCR_EBB, but omitted FSCR_DSCR.
The end result is that swapper runs with FSCR_DSCR set because of the
initialisation in __init_FSCR(), but no other processes do, they use
the value from init_task.thread.fscr.
Having FSCR_DSCR set for swapper allows it to access SPR 3 from
userspace, but swapper never runs userspace, so it has no useful
effect. It's also confusing to have the value initialised in two
places to two different values.
So remove FSCR_DSCR from __init_FSCR(), this at least gets us to the
point where there's a single value of FSCR, even if it's still set in
two places.
The legacy ethtool userspace tool shows an error when no features could
be changed. It's useful to have a netlink reply to be able to show this
error when __netdev_update_features wasn't called, for example:
1. ethtool -k eth0
large-receive-offload: off
2. ethtool -K eth0 rx-fcs on
3. ethtool -K eth0 lro on
Could not change any device features
rx-lro: off [requested on]
4. ethtool -K eth0 lro on
# The output should be the same, but without this patch the kernel
# doesn't send the reply, and ethtool is unable to detect the error.
This commit makes ethtool-netlink always return a reply when requested,
and it still avoids unnecessary calls to __netdev_update_features if the
wanted features haven't changed.

ethtool: Account for hw_features in netlink interface
ethtool-netlink ignores dev->hw_features and may confuse the drivers by
asking them to enable features not in the hw_features bitmask. For
example:
1. ethtool -k eth0
tls-hw-tx-offload: off [fixed]
2. ethtool -K eth0 tls-hw-tx-offload on
tls-hw-tx-offload: on
3. ethtool -k eth0
tls-hw-tx-offload: on [fixed]
Fitler out dev->hw_features from req_wanted to fix it and to resemble
the legacy ethtool behavior.

ethtool: Fix preserving of wanted feature bits in netlink interface
It completely discards the old wanted bits, so they are forgotten with
the next ethtool command. Sample steps to reproduce:
1. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: on # TSO is on from the beginning
2. ethtool -K eth0 tx off
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [not requested]
3. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [requested on]
4. ethtool -K eth0 rx off # Some change unrelated to TSO
5. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: off # "Wanted on" is forgotten
This commit fixes it by changing the formula to:
(req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_wanted & ~req_mask),
where old_active was replaced by old_wanted to account for the wanted
bits.
The shortcut condition for the case where nothing was changed now
compares wanted bitmasks, instead of wanted to active.

Most statistics in ena driver are incremented, meaning that a stat's
value is a sum of all increases done to it since driver/queue
initialization.
This patch makes all statistics this way, effectively making missed_tx
statistic incremental.
Also added a comment regarding rx_drops and tx_drops to make it
clearer how these counters are calculated.

__tipc_nl_compat_dumpit() has two callers, and it expects them to
pass a valid nlmsghdr via arg->data. This header is artificial and
crafted just for __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit().
tipc_nl_compat_publ_dump() does so by putting a genlmsghdr as well
as some nested attribute, TIPC_NLA_SOCK. But the other caller
tipc_nl_compat_dumpit() does not, this leaves arg->data uninitialized
on this call path.
Fix this by just adding a similar nlmsghdr without any payload in
tipc_nl_compat_dumpit().
This bug exists since day 1, but the recent commit 6ea67769ff33
("net: tipc: prepare attrs in __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit()") makes it
easier to appear.

__smc_diag_dump() is potentially copying uninitialized kernel stack memory
into socket buffers, since the compiler may leave a 4-byte hole near the
beginning of `struct smcd_diag_dmbinfo`. Fix it by initializing `dinfo`
with memset().
