Pull parisc architecture fixes from Helge Deller: "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. Summary: - Rewrite the cache flush code for PA8800/PA8900 CPUs to flush using the virtual address of user and kernel pages instead of using tmpalias flushes. Testing showed, that tmpalias flushes don't work reliably on PA8800/PA8900 CPUs - Fix flush code to allow 32-bit kernels to run on 64-bit capable machines, e.g. a 32-bit kernel on C3700 machines" * tag 'for-5.18/parisc-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux: parisc: Fix patch code locking and flushing parisc: Rewrite cache flush code for PA8800/PA8900 parisc: Disable debug code regarding cache flushes in handle_nadtlb_fault()
