Hi Linus,

Please pull the latest parisc fixes from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git parisc-3.12

This patchset includes a bugfix to prevent a kernel crash when memory in page zero is accessed by the kernel itself, e.g. via probe_kernel_read(). Furthermore we now export flush_cache_page() which is needed (indirectly) by the lustre filesystem. The other patches remove unused functions and optimizes the page fault handler to only evaluate variables if needed, which again protects against possible kernel crashes.

Thanks,
Helge

This one shouldn't go in - Geert sent it a bit prematurely, as Lustre shouldn't use it just to reimplement core VM functionality (which it shouldn't use either, but that's a separate story).

Ok, it's my fault then.
I'll include a reverting patch in the next parisc pull request...
