Thank you!
Hi Linus, please pull the latest parisc architecture fixes for kernel v5.18. We had two big outstanding issues after v5.18-rc6: a) 32-bit kernels on 64-bit machines (e.g. on a C3700 which is able to run 32- and 64-bit kernels) failed early in userspace. b) 64-bit kernels on PA8800/PA8900 CPUs (e.g. in a C8000) showed random userspace segfaults. We assumed that those problems were caused by the tmpalias flushes. Dave did a lot of testing and reorganization of the current flush code and fixed the 32-bit cache flushing. For PA8800/PA8900 CPUs he switched the code to flush using the virtual address of user and kernel pages instead of using tmpalias flushes. The tmpalias flushes don't seem to work reliable on such CPUs. We tested the patches on a wide range machines (715/64, B160L, C3000, C3700, C8000, rp3440) and they have been in for-next without any conflicts. Please pull.
