Subject: [GIT PULL] parisc architecture fixes for v6.8-rc3

Hi Linus,

Please pull a few important fixes for the parisc architecture for 6.8-rc3:

The current exception handler, which helps on kernel accesses to userspace,
may exhibit data corruption. The problem is that it is not guaranteed that the
compiler will use the processor register we specified in the source code, but
may choose another register which then will lead to silent register- and data
corruption.  To fix this issue we now use another strategy to help the
exception handler to always find and set the error code into the correct CPU
register.

The other fixes are small: fixing CPU hotplug bringup, fix the page alignment
of the RO_DATA section, added a check for the calculated cache stride and fix
possible hangups when printing longer output at bootup when running on serial
console.

Most of the patches are tagged for stable series.

Thanks!
Helge
