Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"Three relatively small fixes for ARM:
- Roger noticed that dma_max_pfn() was calculating the upper limit
wrongly, by adding the PFN offset of memory twice.
- A fix from Robin to correct parsing of MPIDR values when the
address size is larger than one BE32 unit.
- A fix from Srinivas to ensure that we do not rely on the boot
loader (or previous Linux kernel) setting the translation table
base register a certain way in the decompressor, which can lead to
crashes"

If the bootloader uses the long descriptor format and jumps to
kernel decompressor code, TTBCR may not be in a right state.
Before enabling the MMU, it is required to clear the TTBCR.PD0
field to use TTBR0 for translation table walks.
The commit dbece45894d3a ("ARM: 7501/1: decompressor:
reset ttbcr for VMSA ARMv7 cores") does the reset of TTBCR.N, but
doesn't consider all the bits for the size of TTBCR.N.
Clear TTBCR.PD0 field and reset all the three bits of TTBCR.N to
indicate the use of TTBR0 and the correct base address width.

When discovering the number of VPEs per core, smp_num_siblings will be
incorrect for kernels built without support for the MIPS MultiThreading
(MT) ASE running on systems which implement said ASE. This leads to
accesses to VPEs in secondary cores being performed incorrectly since
mips_cm_vp_id calculates the wrong ID to write to the local "other"
registers. Fix this by examining the number of VPEs in the core as
reported by the CM.
This patch presumes that the number of VPEs will be the same in each
core of the system. As this path only applies to systems with CM version
2.5 or lower, and this property is true of all such known systems, this
is likely to be fine but is described in a comment for good measure.

This fixes commit d76eebfa175e ("include/linux/property.h: fix build
issues with gcc-4.4.4").
With that commit we get the following compile error when using the
PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY macro.
include/linux/property.h:201:39: error: `u32_data' undeclared (first
use in this function)
PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY(_name_, u32, _val_)

`PROPERTY_ENTRY_INTEGER_ARRAY'
{ .pointer = { _type_##_data = _val_ } }, \

This needs a '.' to reference the union member. It seems this was just
overlooked here since it is done correctly in similar constructs in
other parts of the original commit.
This fix is in preparation of upcoming commits that will use this macro.

The testcase "mmaptruncate" of ocfs2-test deadlocks occasionally.
In this testcase, we create a 2*CLUSTER_SIZE file and mmap() on it;
there are 2 process repeatedly performing the following operations
respectively: one is doing memset(mmaped_addr + 2*CLUSTER_SIZE - 1, 'a',
1), while the another is playing ftruncate(fd, 2*CLUSTER_SIZE) and then
ftruncate(fd, CLUSTER_SIZE) again and again.
This is the backtrace when the deadlock happens:
__wait_on_bit_lock+0x50/0xa0
__lock_page+0xb7/0xc0
ocfs2_write_begin_nolock+0x163f/0x1790 [ocfs2]

handle_mm_fault+0x685/0x1350

trace_do_page_fault+0x37/0xf0
do_async_page_fault+0x19/0x70
async_page_fault+0x28/0x30
In ocfs2_write_begin_nolock(), we first grab the pages and then allocate
disk space for this write; ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log() will be
called if -ENOSPC is returned; if we're lucky to get enough clusters,
which is usually the case, we start over again.
But in ocfs2_free_write_ctxt() the target page isn't unlocked, so we
will deadlock when trying to grab the target page again.
Also, -ENOMEM might be returned in ocfs2_grab_pages_for_write().
Another deadlock will happen in __do_page_mkwrite() if
ocfs2_page_mkwrite() returns non-VM_FAULT_LOCKED, and along with a
locked target page.
These two errors fail on the same path, so fix them by unlocking the
target page manually before ocfs2_free_write_ctxt().
Jan Kara helps me clear out the JBD2 part, and suggest the hint for root
cause.
Changes since v1:
1. Also put ENOMEM error case into consideration.

replace_page_cache_page()

ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70
which corresponds to the following sanity check in the shadow node
tracking:
BUG_ON(node->count & RADIX_TREE_COUNT_MASK);
The workingset code tracks radix tree nodes that exclusively contain
shadow entries of evicted pages in them, and this (somewhat obscure)
line checks whether there are real pages left that would interfere with
reclaim of the radix tree node under memory pressure.
While discussing ways how fuse might sneak pages into the radix tree
past the workingset code, Miklos pointed to replace_page_cache_page(),
and indeed there is a problem there: it properly accounts for the old
page being removed - __delete_from_page_cache() does that - but then
does a raw raw radix_tree_insert(), not accounting for the replacement
page. Eventually the page count bits in node->count underflow while
leaving the node incorrectly linked to the shadow node LRU.
To address this, make sure replace_page_cache_page() uses the tracked
page insertion code, page_cache_tree_insert(). This fixes the page
accounting and makes sure page-containing nodes are properly unlinked
from the shadow node LRU again.
Also, make the sanity checks a bit less obscure by using the helpers for
checking the number of pages and shadows in a radix tree node.
Fixes: 449dd6984d0e ("mm: keep page cache radix tree nodes in check")

do_int80_syscall_32() will call enter_form_user_mode() to convert context

can fail with user gsbase, gsbase will be fixed up and proceed if this
happen.
However, enter_from_user_mode() will be called again in the fixed up path
though it is context tracking kernel state currently.
This patch fixes it by just fixing up gsbase and telling lockdep that IRQs
are off once load_gs_index() failed with user gsbase.

When sctp dumps all the ep->assocs, it needs to lock_sock first,
but now it locks sock in rcu_read_lock, and lock_sock may sleep,
which would break rcu_read_lock.
This patch is to get and hold one sock when traversing the list.
After that and get out of rcu_read_lock, lock and dump it. Then
it will traverse the list again to get the next one until all
sctp socks are dumped.
For sctp_diag_dump_one, it fixes this issue by holding asoc and
moving cb() out of rcu_read_lock in sctp_transport_lookup_process.

This patchset is to fix 2 issues for prsctp polices:
1. patch 1 and 2 fix "netperf-Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression" issue

2. patch 3 fix "prsctp polices should check both sides' prsctp_capable,

Now before using prsctp polices, sctp uses asoc->prsctp_enable to
check if prsctp is enabled. However asoc->prsctp_enable is set only
means local host support prsctp, sctp should not abandon packet if
peer host doesn't enable prsctp.
So this patch is to use asoc->peer.prsctp_capable to check if prsctp
is enabled on both side, instead of asoc->prsctp_enable, as asoc's
peer.prsctp_capable is set only when local and peer both enable prsctp.

Now sctp uses chunk->prsctp_param to save the prsctp param for all the
prsctp polices, we didn't need to introduce prsctp_param to sctp_chunk.
We can just use chunk->sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF polices,
and reuse msg->expires_at for TTL policy, as the prsctp polices and old
expires policy are mutual exclusive.
This patch is to remove prsctp_param from sctp_chunk, and reuse msg's
expires_at for TTL and chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for RTX and BUF
polices.
Note that sctp can't use chunk's sinfo.sinfo_timetolive for TTL policy,
as it needs a u64 variables to save the expires_at time.
This one also fixes the "netperf-Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression"
issue.

/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
...
long unsigned int prsctp_param;
int sent_count;
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

not only netdev isn't available, but the tg3 private structure is also

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
- Four fixes for "flush hint" support.
Flush hints are addresses advertised by the ACPI 6+ NFIT (NVDIMM
Firmware Interface Table) that when written and fenced guarantee that
writes pending in platform write buffers (outside the cpu) have been
flushed to media. They might also be used by hypervisors as a
trigger condition to flush guest-persistent memory ranges to storage.
Fix a potential data corruption issue, a broken definition of the
hint array, a wrong allocation size for the unit test implementation
of the flush hint table, and missing NULL check in an error path.
The unit test, while it did not prevent these bugs from being
merged, at least triggered occasional crashes in advance of
production usages.
- Fix handling of ACPI DSM error status results. The DSM mechanism
allows communication with platform and memory device firmware. We
correctly parse known errors, but were silently ignoring others.
Fix it to consistently fail any command with a non-zero status return
that we otherwise do not interpret / handle.

The paging_init() function contains code which detects that highmem is
in use but unsupported due to dcache aliasing. However this code was
ineffective because it was being run before the caches are probed,
meaning that cpu_has_dc_aliases would always evaluate to false (unless a
platform overrides it to a compile-time constant) and the detection of
the unsupported case is never triggered. The kernel would then go on to
attempt to use highmem & either hit coherency issues or trigger the
BUG_ON in flush_kernel_dcache_page().
Fix this by running paging_init() later than cpu_cache_init(), such that
the cpu_has_dc_aliases macro will evaluate correctly & the unsupported
highmem case will be detected successfully.
This then leads to a formerly hidden issue in that
mem_init_free_highmem() will attempt to free all highmem pages, even
though we're avoiding use of them & don't have valid page structs for
them. This leads to an invalid pointer dereference & a TLB exception.
Avoid this by skipping the loop in mem_init_free_highmem() if
cpu_has_dc_aliases evaluates true.

Malta boards used with CPU emulators feature a switch to disable use of
an IOCU. Software has to check this switch & ignore any present IOCU if
the switch is closed. The read used to do this was unsafe for 64 bit
kernels, as it simply casted the address 0xbf403000 to a pointer &
dereferenced it. Whilst in a 32 bit kernel this would access kseg1, in a
64 bit kernel this attempts to access xuseg & results in an address
error exception.
Fix by accessing a correctly formed ckseg1 address generated using the
CKSEG1ADDR macro.
Whilst modifying this code, define the name of the register and the bit
we care about within it, which indicates whether PCI DMA is routed to
the IOCU or straight to DRAM. The code previously checked that bit 0 was
also set, but the least significant 7 bits of the CONFIG_GEN0 register
contain the value of the MReqInfo signal provided to the IOCU OCP bus,
so singling out bit 0 makes little sense & that part of the check is
dropped.

When the kernel is built for microMIPS, branches targets need to be
known to be microMIPS code in order to result in bit 0 of the PC being
set. The branch target in the BUILD_ROLLBACK_PROLOGUE macro was simply
the end of the macro, which may be pointing at padding rather than at
code. This results in recent enough GNU linkers complaining like so:
mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .text+0x3e3c: Unsupported branch between ISA modes.
mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value

appropriate handler, skipping over any padding.

On current P-series cores from Imagination the FTLB can be enabled or
disabled via a bit in the Config6 register, and an execution hazard is
created by changing the value of bit. The ftlb_disable function already
cleared that hazard but that does no good for other callers. Clear the
hazard in the set_ftlb_enable function that creates it, and only for the
cores where it applies.
This has the effect of reverting c982c6d6c48b ("MIPS: cpu-probe: Remove
cp0 hazard barrier when enabling the FTLB") which was incorrect.

On some cores (proAptiv, P5600) we make use of the sizes of the TLBs
to determine the desired FTLB:VTLB write ratio. However set_ftlb_enable
& thus calculate_ftlb_probability is called before decode_config4. This
results in us calculating a probability based on zero sizes, and we end
up setting FTLBP=3 for a 3:1 FTLB:VTLB write ratio in all cases. This
will make abysmal use of the available FTLB resources in the affected
cores.
Fix this by configuring the FTLB probability after having decoded
config4. However we do need to have enabled the FTLB before that point
such that fields in config4 actually reflect that an FTLB is present. So
set_ftlb_enable is now called twice, with flags indicating that it
should configure the write probability only the second time.

The FTLBP field in Config7 for the I6400 is intended as chicken bits for
debugging rather than as a field that software actually makes use of.
For best performance, FTLBP should be left at its default value of 0
with all TLB writes hitting the FTLB by default.
Additionally, since set_ftlb_enable is called from decode_configs before
decode_config4 which determines the size of the TLBs, this was
previously always setting FTLBP=3 for a 3:1 FTLB:VTLB write ratio which
makes abysmal use of the available FTLB resources.
This effectively reverts b0c4e1b79d8a ("MIPS: Set up FTLB probability

When expanding the la or dla pseudo-instruction in a delay slot the GNU
assembler will complain should the pseudo-instruction expand to multiple
actual instructions, since only the first of them will be in the delay
slot leading to the pseudo-instruction being only partially executed if
the branch is taken. Use of PTR_LA in the dec int-handler.S leads to
such warnings:
arch/mips/dec/int-handler.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/dec/int-handler.S:149: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot

Commit 0d2808f338c7 ("MIPS: smp-cps: Add support for CPU hotplug of
MIPSr6 processors") added a call to mips_cm_lock_other in order to lock
the CPC in CPUs containing a version 3 or higher Coherence Manager,
which use the general CM core other register, where previous CMs had a
dedicated core other register for the CPC.
A kernel BUG() is triggered, however, if mips_cm_lock_other is called
with a VP other than 0 on a CPU with CM < 3, a condition introduced by
0d2808f338c7.
Avoid the BUG() by always locking VP0 when locking the CPC, since the
required register, cpc_stat_conf, is shared by all vps in a core.

Since commit 6ce0d2001692 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"),
dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset
so we don't need to add it again.
This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA
over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM
can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM].
What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong
bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass
storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit
is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2
is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the
USB controller and hence the lock-up.
NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0.
This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000
and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be
0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because
USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the
USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.

Whilst MPIDR values themselves are less than 32 bits, it is still
perfectly valid for a DT to have #address-cells > 1 in the CPUs node,
resulting in the "reg" property having leading zero cell(s). In that
situation, the big-endian nature of the data conspires with the current
behaviour of only reading the first cell to cause the kernel to think
all CPUs have ID 0, and become resoundingly unhappy as a consequence.
Take the full property length into account when parsing CPUs so as to
be correct under any circumstances.

in 4.1 based kernel. Since 4.6 we have the oom reaper which would solve
this problem because it would release the memory asynchronously.
Nevertheless we can relax alloc_rmap_item requirements and use
__GFP_NORETRY because the allocation failure is acceptable as ksm_do_scan
would just retry later after the lock got dropped.
Such a patch would be also easy to backport to older stable kernels which
do not have oom_reaper.
While we are at it add GFP_NOWARN so the admin doesn't have to be alarmed
by the allocation failure.

Pull late MTD fixes from Brian Norris:
"Another round of MTD fixes for v4.8
My apologies for sending this so late. I've been fairly absent as a
maintainer this cycle, but I did queue these up weeks ago. In the
meantime, Richard was able to handle some other fixes (thanks!) but
didn't pick these up.
On the bright side, these are very simple changes that should carry
little risk.
Summary:
- Davinci NAND: fix a long-standing bug in how we clear/prep 4-bit ECC
- OMAP NAND: an error-handling fix that made it into v4.8-rc1 caused
error-handling cases in other configurations/code-paths; this fixes
the fix"
* tag 'for-linus-20160928' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd:
mtd: nand: davinci: Reinitialize the HW ECC engine in 4bit hwctl
mtd: nand: omap2: Don't call dma_release_channel() if dma_request_chan() failed

I will be starting employment at Versity next week and would like to update
my MAINTAINERS e-mail to reflect that change. My versity e-mail is already
activated so I shouldn't get any bounces on the new one. My ability to help
with Ocfs2 kernel maintenance won't change as a result of the new job.
