On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may
falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts
during exception return and/or livelock.
This patch resolves the issue in the following ways:
- Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as
we did for v6 CPUs).
- Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives,
since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when
non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these).
Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable
performance difference with this change applied, so the change is
performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.

Kernel module build with GCOV profiling fails to load with the
following error:
$ insmod test_module.ko
test_module: unknown relocation: 38
insmod: can't insert 'test_module.ko': invalid module format
This happens because constructor pointers in the .init_array section
have not supported R_ARM_TARGET1 relocation type.
Documentation (ELF for the ARM Architecture) says:
"The relocation must be processed either in the same way as R_ARM_REL32 or
as R_ARM_ABS32: a virtual platform must specify which method is used."
Since kernel expects to see absolute addresses in .init_array R_ARM_TARGET1
relocation type should be treated the same way as R_ARM_ABS32.

Pull second round of KVM changes from Paolo Bonzini:
"Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation, and
with 3.16-rc changes). Since they were all within the subsystem, I
took care of them.
Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.
New features for ARM include:
- KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
- Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
- Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
And for PPC:
- Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
- Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440. As a result, the
PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)
I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an
independent bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by;
there was no reason to wait for -rc2"

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this update:
- perf updates from Will Deacon:
The main changes are callchain stability fixes from Jean Pihet and
event mapping and PMU name rework from Mark Rutland
The latter is preparatory work for enabling some code re-use with
arm64 in the future.
- updates for nommu from Uwe Kleine-König:
Two different fixes for the same problem making some ARM nommu
configurations not boot since 3.6-rc1. The problem is that
user_addr_max returned the biggest available RAM address which
makes some copy_from_user variants fail to read from XIP memory.
- deprecate legacy OMAP DMA API, in preparation for it's removal.
The popular drivers have been converted over, leaving a very small
number of rarely used drivers, which hopefully can be converted
during the next cycle with a bit more visibility (and hopefully
people popping out of the woodwork to help test)
- more tweaks for BE systems, particularly with the kernel image
format. In connection with this, I've cleaned up the way we
generate the linker script for the decompressor.
- removal of hard-coded assumptions of the kernel stack size, making
everywhere depend on the value of THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.
- MCPM updates from Nicolas Pitre.
- Make it easier for proper CPU part number checks (which should
always include the vendor field).
- Assembly code optimisation - use the "bx" instruction when
returning from a function on ARMv6+ rather than "mov pc, reg".
- Save the last kernel misaligned fault location and report it via
the procfs alignment file.
- Clean up the way we create the initial stack frame, which is a
repeated pattern in several different locations.
- Support for 8-byte get_user(), needed for some DRM implementations.
- mcs locking from Will Deacon.
- Save and restore a few more Cortex-A9 registers (for errata
workarounds)
- Fix various aspects of the SWP emulation, and the ELF hwcap for the
SWP instruction.
- Update LPAE logic for pte_write and pmd_write to make it more
correct.
- Support for Broadcom Brahma15 CPU cores.

With SCU standby enabled, SCU CLK will be turned off when all processors
are in WFI mode. And the clock will be turned on when any processor
leaves WFI mode.
This behavior should be preferable in terms of power efficiency of
system idle. So let's set the SCU standby bit to enable the support in
function scu_enable().
Cortex-A9 earlier than r2p0 has no standby bit in SCU, so we need to
skip setting the bit for those.

Commit 1c2f87c22566cd057bc8cde10c37ae9da1a1bb76
(ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) dropped the upper bound on
the number of memory banks that can be added as there was no
technical need in the kernel. It turns out though, some bootloaders
(specifically the arndale-octa exynos boards) may pass invalid memory
information and rely on the kernel to not parse this data. This is a
bug in the bootloader but we still need to work around this.
Work around this by introducing a dt_fixup function. This function
gets called before the flattened devicetree is scanned for memory
and the like. In this fixup function for exynos, limit the maximum
number of memory regions in the devicetree.

commit 431a84b1a4f7d1a0085d5b91330c5053cc8e8b12
("ARM: 8034/1: Disable preemption in iwmmxt_task_enable()")
introduced macros {inc,dec}_preempt_count to iwmmxt_task_enable
to make it run with preemption disabled.
Unfortunately, other functions in iwmmxt.S also use concan_{save,dump,load}
sections located in iwmmxt_task_enable() to deal with iWMMXt coprocessor.
This causes an unbalanced preempt_count due to excessive dec_preempt_count
and destroyed return addresses in callers of concan_ labels due to a register
collision:

This patch fixes the issue by moving concan_{save,dump,load} into separate
code sections and make iwmmxt_task_enable() call them in the same way the
other functions use concan_ symbols. The test for valid ownership is moved
to concan_save and is safe for the other user of it, iwmmxt_task_disable().
The register collision is also resolved by moving concan_ symbols as
{inc,dec}_preempt_count are now local to iwmmxt_task_enable().

When the CPU has support for the byte and word exclusive operations,
userspace should use them in preference to the SWP instructions.
Detect the presence of these instructions by reading the ISAR CPU ID
registers and adjust the ELF HWCAP mask appropriately.
Note that ARM1136 < r1p0 has no ISAR4, so this is explicitly detected
and the test disabled, leaving the current situation where HWCAP_SWP
is set.

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

Ensure that platform maintainers check the CPU part number in the right
manner: the CPU part number is meaningless without also checking the
CPU implement(e|o)r (choose your preferred spelling!) Provide an
interface which returns both the implementer and part number together,
and update the definitions to include the implementer.
Mark the old function as being deprecated... indeed, using the old
function with the definitions will now always evaluate as false, so
people must update their un-merged code to the new function. While
this could be avoided by adding new definitions, we'd also have to
create new names for them which would be awkward.

Under perf, the fp unwinding scheme requires access to user space memory
and can provoke a pagefault via call to __copy_from_user_inatomic from
user_backtrace. This unwinding can take place in response to an interrupt
(__perf_event_overflow). This is undesirable as we may already have
mmap_sem held for write. One example being a process that calls mprotect
just as a the PMU counters overflow.
An example that can provoke this behaviour:
perf record -e event:tocapture --call-graph fp ./application_to_test
This patch addresses this issue by disabling pagefaults briefly in
user_backtrace (as is done in the other architectures: ARM64, x86, Sparc etc.).
Without the patch a deadlock occurs when __perf_event_overflow is called
while reading the data from the user space:

Currently the krait_pmu_{enable,disable}_event functions use the global
cpu_pmu variable while all the other pmu enable/disable functions
derive this from the event argument.
This patch brings the Krait functions into line with the rest of the PMU
backends by deriving the address of the pmu from the event argument.

When described in DT, PMUs are given specific compatible strings
(e.g. "arm,cortex-a15-pmu") which makes it very easy to reorganise the
way individual PMUs are handled (i.e. we can easily split them into
separate drivers). The same is not true of PMUs described in board
files, which are all use the platform_device_id "arm-pmu" and must all
be handled by the same driver.
To enable splitting the ARMv6, ARMv7, and XScale PMU drivers we need
board files to identify which variant they provide. As a first step,
this patch adds new platform_device_id values: "armv6-pmu", "armv7-pmu,
and "xscale-pmu".
Once board files are moved over and all existing uses of "arm-pmu" are
gone, we can split the existing driver apart.

The perf userspace tools can't handle dashes or spaces in PMU names,
which conflicts with the current naming scheme in the arm perf backend.
This prevents these PMUs from being accessed by name from the perf
tools. Additionally the ARMv6 pmus are named "v6", which does not fully
distinguish them in the sys/bus/event_source namespace.
This patch renames the PMUs consistently to a lower case form with
underscores, e.g. "armv6_1176", "armv7_cortex_a9". This is both readily
accepted by today's perf tool, and far easier to type than the
(apparently unused) convention in use previously. The OProfile name
conversion code is updated to handle this.
Due to a copy-paste error involving two "xscale1" entries, "xscale2" has
never been matched by the name OProfile name mapping. While we're
updating names, this is corrected.

Now that we have macros for declaring fully invalid event maps, put them
to work for the XScale PMU event maps. While this necessitates repeating
common indices, we no longer need to refer to *_UNSUPPORTED events at
all, and it makes it possible for the even maps to fit on a single page
on a reasonably sized monitor.

ARM data processing instructions which have a register specified shift
are defined as UNPREDICTABLE if PC is used for any register, not just
the shift value as the code was previous assuming. This issue manifests
on A15 devices as either test case failures or undefined instructions

Due to a long-standing issue with Thumb symbol lookup [1] the jprobes
tests fail when built into a kernel compiled as Thumb mode. (They work
fine for ARM mode kernels or for Thumb when built as a loadable module.)
Rather than have this problem terminate testing prematurely lets instead
emit an error message and carry on with the main kprobes tests, delaying
the final failure report until the end.

Commit 143e1e28cb (sched: Rework sched_domain topology definition)
introduced a number of functions with a return value of 'const int'.
gcc doesn't know what to do with that and, if the kernel is compiled
with W=1, complains with the following warnings whenever sched.h
is included.
include/linux/sched.h:875:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
include/linux/sched.h:882:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
include/linux/sched.h:889:25: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
include/linux/sched.h:1002:21: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type
Commits fb2aa855 (sched, ARM: Create a dedicated scheduler topology table)
and 607b45e9a (sched, powerpc: Create a dedicated topology table) introduce
the same warning in the arm and powerpc code.
Drop 'const' from the function declarations to fix the problem.
The fix for all three patches has to be applied together to avoid
compilation failures for the affected architectures.

On the syscall tracing path, we call out to secure_computing() to allow
seccomp to check the syscall number being attempted. As part of this, a
SIGTRAP may be sent to the tracer and the syscall could be re-written by
a subsequent SET_SYSCALL ptrace request. Unfortunately, this new syscall
is ignored by the current code unless TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is also set on
the current thread.
This patch slightly reworks the enter path of the syscall tracing code
so that we always reload the syscall number from
current_thread_info()->syscall after the potential ptrace traps.

GCC 4.6.4 spits out the following warning when building perf_event_v7.c:
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_v7.c: In function 'krait_pmu_get_event_idx':
arch/arm/kernel/perf_event_v7.c:1927:6: warning: 'bit' may be used uninitialized in this function
While upgrading the version of gcc may solve this, the code can also be
organised to be more efficient by not carrying more local variables than
is necessary across the armv7pmu_get_event_idx function call. If we set
'bit' to -1 (which is invalid for clear_bit) we can use that as an
indication whether we need to clear a bit after this function.
