The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn)
should only be entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed
from the kernel. Otherwise, if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program
can cause the kernel to drop into the debugger by executing either
KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK.

Add a note about the usage of the identity mapping; we do not support
accesses outside of the identity map region and kernel image while a
CPU is using the identity map. This is because the identity mapping
may overwrite vmalloc space, IO mappings, the vectors pages, etc.

that the code is not architecturally compliant and is squarely in

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.

devel-stable
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.
Even in the presence of one of the two fixes the other still makes sense, so
both patches are included here.
This problem was the last one preventing efm32 boot to a prompt with mainline.

<mach/memory.h>
The platforms selecting NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H defined the start address of
their physical memory in the respective <mach/memory.h>. With
ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT=y (which is quite common today) this is useless
though because the definition isn't used but determined dynamically.
So remove the definitions from all <mach/memory.h> and provide the
Kconfig symbol PHYS_OFFSET with the respective defaults in case
ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT isn't enabled.
This allows to drop the dependency of PHYS_OFFSET on !NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H
which prevents compiling an integrator nommu-kernel.
(CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET which has "default PHYS_OFFSET if !MMU" expanded to
"0x" because CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET doesn't exist as INTEGRATOR selects
NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H.)

On LPAE, each level 1 (pgd) page table entry maps 1GiB, and the level 2
(pmd) entries map 2MiB.
When the identity mapping is created on LPAE, the pgd pointers are copied
from the swapper_pg_dir. If we find that we need to modify the contents
of a pmd, we allocate a new empty pmd table and insert it into the
appropriate 1GB slot, before then filling it with the identity mapping.
However, if the 1GB slot covers the kernel lowmem mappings, we obliterate
those mappings.
When replacing a PMD, first copy the old PMD contents to the new PMD, so
that we preserve the existing mappings, particularly the mappings of the
kernel itself.

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

Long descriptors on ARM are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as
pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the
flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run
into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast.
For example:
gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1);
where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int.
This patch introduces a new macro pte_isset which performs the bitwise
and, then performs a double logical invert (where needed) to ensure
predictable downcasting. The logical inverse pte_isclear is also
introduced.
Equivalent pmd functions for Transparent HugePages have also been
added.

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.

SWP is deprecated in ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs, but more importantly, when
running on a SMP system, SWP doesn't guarantee atomicity. This means
it can't really be used (by userspace) for locking purposes in a SMP
environment.
Currently, many configurations leave the SWP emulation disabled, which
means we never know if userspace executes this instruction on ARMv7
hardware. Rectify this by enabling SWP emulation for ARMv7 with SMP
(where we can trap the instruction.)

The CP15 diagnostic register holds ARM errata bits on Cortex-A9, so it
needs to be saved/restored on suspend/resume. Otherwise, the
effectiveness of errata workaround gets lost together with diagnostic
register bit across suspend/resume cycle. And the CP15 power control
register of Cortex-A9 shares the same problem.
The patch adds a couple of Cortex-A9 specific suspend/resume functions
to save/restore these two Cortex-A9 CP15 registers across the
suspend/resume cycle.

Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit
values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow
the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared
ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to
avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user().
This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other
32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out
architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze,
mn10300, sh.

My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and
v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4
I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I
have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine
even if credit should more widely shared.
Changelog:
v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King)
v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King),
used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file),
cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8.
v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues
v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing
double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion)

Since pj4b suspend/resume routines are implemented based on generic
ARMv7 ones, instead of hard-coding cpu_pj4b_suspend_size, we should have
it be cpu_v7_suspend_size plus pj4b specific bytes. Otherwise, if
cpu_v7_suspend_size gets updated alone, the pj4b suspend/resume will
likely be broken.

Currently there are numerous places where "struct pt_regs" are used to
populate "struct stackframe", however all of those location do not
consider the situation where the kernel might be compiled in THUMB2
mode, in which case the framepointer member of pt_regs become ARM_r7
instead of ARM_fp (r11). Document this idiosyncracy in the
definition of "struct stackframe"
The easiest solution is to introduce a new function (in the spirit of
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.kernel/dA2YuUcSpZ4)
which would hide the complexity of initializing the stackframe struct
from pt_regs.
Also implement a macro frame_pointer(regs) that would return the correct
register so that we can use it in cases where we just require the frame
pointer and not a whole struct stackframe

With patch #8067/1 ("zImage: ensure header in LE format for BE8 kernels")
applied, it is no longer possible to determine the endianness of a compiled
kernel image. This normally shouldn't matter to the boot environment,
except for those cases where the selection of a ramdisk or root filesystem
with a matching endianness has to be automated.
Let's add a flag to the zImage header indicating the actual endianness.
Four bytes from offset 0x30 can be interpreted as follows:
04 03 02 01 big endian kernel
01 02 03 04 little endian kernel
Anything else should be interpreted as "unknown", in which case it is
most likely that patch #8067/1 was not applied either and the zImage
magic number at offset 0x24 could be used instead to determine
endianness. No zImage before this patch ever produced 0x01020304 nor
0x04030201 at offset 0x30 so there is no confusion possible.

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.

Building of EXYNOS5420_MCPM with disabled SUSPEND fails:
arch/arm/mach-exynos/built-in.o: In function `exynos_mcpm_init':
arch/arm/mach-exynos/mcpm-exynos.c:361: undefined reference to `mcpm_loopback'
The exynos_mcpm_init() in mcp-exynos.c calls mcpm_loopback() which
depends on cpu_suspend function (ARM_CPU_SUSPEND).

loopback
The Chromebook firmware doesn't enable the CCI for the boot cpu, and
arguably it shouldn't have to either. Let's have the kernel handle the
CCI on its own for the boot CPU the same way it does it for secondary CPUs
by using the MCPM loopback.
This allows to boot all 8 cores on exynos5420-peach-pit,
exynos5800-peach-pi and ARM Chromebook 2.

The kernel already has the responsibility to handle resources such as the
CCI when hotplugging CPUs, during the booting of secondary CPUs, and when
resuming from suspend/idle. It would be more coherent and less confusing
if the CCI for the boot CPU (or cluster) was also initialized by the
kernel rather than expecting the firmware/bootloader to do it and only in
that case. After all, the kernel has all the necessary code already and
the bootloader shouldn't have to care at all.
The CCI may be turned on only when the cache is off. Leveraging the CPU
suspend code to loop back through the low-level MCPM entry point is all
that is needed to properly turn on the CCI from the kernel by using the
same code as during secondary boot.
Let's provide a generic MCPM loopback function that can be invoked by
backend initialization code to set things (CCI or similar) on the boot
CPU just as it is done for the other CPUs.

After applying patch:

The problem here is recursive header inclusion which could be avoided by
removing linux/reboot.h from mach/iop13xxx.h.
linux/reboot.h in include/mach/iop13xx.h is needed only for enum reboot_mode,
so header it could be replaced with a enum declaration.
Whatever patch "ARM: 8078/1: get rid of hardcoded assumptions about kernel stack size"
does, I think it's good to avoid unnecessary header inclusion here in any case.

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.

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:
