commit fa0708b320f6da4c1104fe56e01b7abf66fd16ad upstream.

In cpu_v7_do_suspend routine, r11 is used while it is NOT
saved/restored, different compiler may have different usage
of ARM general registers, so it may cause issues during
calling cpu_v7_do_suspend.

We meet kernel fault occurs when using GCC 4.8.3, r11 contains
valid value before calling into cpu_v7_do_suspend, but when returned
from this routine, r11 is corrupted and lead to kernel fault.
Doing save/restore for those corrupted registers is a must in
assemble code.

commit 7e31210349e9e03a9a4dff31ab5f2bc83e8e84f5 upstream.

IOMMU-based dma_mmap() implementation lacked proper support for offset
parameter used in mmap call (it always assumed that mapping starts from
offset zero). This patch adds support for offset parameter to IOMMU-based
implementation.

commit 371f0f085f629fc0f66695f572373ca4445a67ad upstream.

dma_mmap() function in IOMMU-based dma-mapping implementation lacked
a check for valid range of mmap parameters (offset and buffer size), what
might have caused access beyond the allocated buffer. This patch fixes
this issue.

<title>ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write logic for LPAE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f0cd84895484b4ab98701654bc02791c472c7465</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ded9477984690d026e46dd75e8157392cea3f13f upstream.

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty
ptes:
                              L_PTE_DIRTY       L_PTE_RDONLY
    !pte_dirty &amp;&amp; !pte_write        0               1
    !pte_dirty &amp;&amp; pte_write         0               1
    pte_dirty &amp;&amp; !pte_write         1               1
    pte_dirty &amp;&amp; pte_write          1               0

So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only
ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as
read only when they are writeable but not dirty.

This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58,
and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only
or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes
and read only ptes.

HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically.

We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they
correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has
moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising
THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to
make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.

<title>mm/hugetlb: reduce arch dependent code around follow_huge_*</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a59e2c71bf4901512137c9aaf88d2a95961577e1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 61f77eda9bbf0d2e922197ed2dcf88638a639ce5 upstream.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
patch tries to remove the m.  The basic idea is to put the default
implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
(regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.

For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).  So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
default.

As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.

In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.

One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL.  This means that we need
arch-specific implementation which returns NULL.  This behavior looks
strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.

Justification of non-trivial changes:
- in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
  patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
  is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
  the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
- in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
  code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
  they are identical in both archs.
  In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
  In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
  PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
  PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

<title>ARM: DMA: ensure that old section mappings are flushed from the TLB</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6b076991dca9817e75c37e2f0db6d52611ea42fa upstream.

When setting up the CMA region, we must ensure that the old section
mappings are flushed from the TLB before replacing them with page
tables, otherwise we can suffer from mismatched aliases if the CPU
speculatively prefetches from these mappings at an inopportune time.

A mismatched alias can occur when the TLB contains a section mapping,
but a subsequent prefetch causes it to load a page table mapping,
resulting in the possibility of the TLB containing two matching
mappings for the same virtual address region.

<content type='text'>
commit 995ab5189d1d7264e79e665dfa032a19b3ac646e upstream.

Under extremely rare conditions, in an MPCore node consisting of at
least 3 CPUs, two CPUs trying to perform a STREX to data on the same
shared cache line can enter a livelock situation.

This patch enables the HW mechanism that overcomes the bug. This fixes
the incorrect setup of the STREX backoff delay bit due to a wrong
description in the specification.

Note that enabling the STREX backoff delay mechanism is done by
leaving the bit *cleared*, while the bit was currently being set by
the proc-v7.S code.

[Thomas: adapt to latest mainline, slightly reword the commit log, add
stable markers.]

<content type='text'>
commit ef59a20ba375aeb97b3150a118318884743452a8 upstream.

According to the manuals I have, XScale auxiliary register should be
reached with opc_2 = 1 instead of crn = 1. cpu_xscale_proc_init
correctly uses c1, c0, 1 arguments, but cpu_xscale_do_suspend and
cpu_xscale_do_resume use c1, c1, 0. Correct suspend/resume functions to
also use c1, c0, 1.

The issue was primarily noticed thanks to qemu reporing "unsupported
instruction" on the pxa suspend path. Confirmed in PXA210/250 and PXA255
XScale Core manuals and in PXA270 and PXA320 Developers Guides.

Harware tested by me on tosa (pxa255). Robert confirmed on pxa270 board.

commit 08b964ff3c51b10aaf2e6ba639f40054c09f0f7a upstream.

The kuser helpers page is not set up on non-MMU systems, so it does
not make sense to allow CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be enabled when
CONFIG_MMU=n.  Allowing it to be set on !MMU results in an oops in
set_tls (used in execve and the arm_syscall trap handler):

Unhandled exception: IPSR = 00000005 LR = fffffff1

As best I can tell this issue existed for the set_tls ARM syscall
before commit fbfb872f5f41 "ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee
register state during exec" consolidated the TLS manipulation code
into the set_tls helper function, but now that we're using it to flush
register state during execve, !MMU users encounter the oops at the
first exec.

Prevent CONFIG_MMU=n configurations from enabling
CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS.

The alignment fixup incorrectly decodes faulting ARM VLDn/VSTn
instructions (where the optional alignment hint is given but incorrect)
as LDR/STR, leading to register corruption. Detect these and correctly
treat them as unhandled, so that userspace gets the fault it expects.
