commit a077224fd35b2f7fbc93f14cf67074fc792fbac2 upstream.

While working on the 32-bit ARM port of UEFI, I noticed a strange
corruption in the kernel log. The following snprintf() statement
(in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c:efi_md_typeattr_format())

	snprintf(pos, size, "|%3s|%2s|%2s|%2s|%3s|%2s|%2s|%2s|%2s]",

was producing the following output in the log:

	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |   |   |   |UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |   |   |   |UC]

As it turns out, this is caused by incorrect code being emitted for
the string() function in lib/vsprintf.c. The following code

	if (!(spec.flags &amp; LEFT)) {
		while (len &lt; spec.field_width--) {
			if (buf &lt; end)
				*buf = ' ';
			++buf;
		}
	}
	for (i = 0; i &lt; len; ++i) {
		if (buf &lt; end)
			*buf = *s;
		++buf; ++s;
	}
	while (len &lt; spec.field_width--) {
		if (buf &lt; end)
			*buf = ' ';
		++buf;
	}

when called with len == 0, triggers an issue in the GCC SRA optimization
pass (Scalar Replacement of Aggregates), which handles promotion of signed
struct members incorrectly. This is a known but as yet unresolved issue.
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65932). In this particular
case, it is causing the second while loop to be executed erroneously a
single time, causing the additional space characters to be printed.

So disable the optimization by passing -fno-ipa-sra.

<title>ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images</title>

U-Boot is often used to boot the kernel on ARM boards, but uImage
is not built by "make all", so we are often inclined to do
"make all uImage" to generate DTBs, modules and uImage in a single
command, but we should notice a pitfall behind it.  In fact,
"make all uImage" could generate an invalid uImage if it is run with
the parallel option (-j).

You can reproduce this problem with the following procedure:

[1] First, build "all" and "uImage" separately.
    You will get a valid uImage

  $ git clean -f -x -d
  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-tools-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s -j8 ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig
  $ make -s -j8 ARCH=arm all
  $ make -j8 ARCH=arm UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80208000 uImage

[3] Then, re-build "all" and "uImage" simultaneously.

  -rwxrwxr-x 1 masahiro masahiro  6138648 Aug  8 23:23 arch/arm/boot/zImage

Please notice the uImage is extremely small when this issue is
encountered.  Besides, "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready" is
displayed twice, before and after the uImage log.

The root cause of this is the race condition between zImage and
uImage.  Actually, uImage depends on zImage, but the dependency
between the two is only described in arch/arm/boot/Makefile.
Because arch/arm/boot/Makefile is not included from the top-level
Makefile, it cannot know the dependency between zImage and uImage.

Consequently, when we run make with the parallel option, Kbuild
updates vmlinux first, and then two different threads descends into
the arch/arm/boot/Makefile almost at the same time, one for updating
zImage and the other for uImage.  While one thread is re-generating
zImage, the other also tries to update zImage before creating uImage
on top of that.  zImage is overwritten by the slower thread and then
uImage is created based on the half-written zImage.

This is the reason why "Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready" is
displayed twice, and a broken uImage is created.

The same problem could happen on bootpImage.

This commit adds dependencies among Image, zImage, uImage, and
bootpImage to arch/arm/Makefile, which is included from the
top-level Makefile.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Bigger items included in this update are:

   - A series of updates from Arnd for ARM randconfig build failures
   - Updates from Dmitry for StrongARM SA-1100 to move IRQ handling to
     drivers/irqchip/
   - Move ARMs SP804 timer to drivers/clocksource/
   - Perf updates from Mark Rutland in preparation to move the ARM perf
     code into drivers/ so it can be shared with ARM64.
   - MCPM updates from Nicolas
   - Add support for taking platform serial number from DT
   - Re-implement Keystone2 physical address space switch to conform to
     architecture requirements
   - Clean up ARMv7 LPAE code, which goes in hand with the Keystone2
     changes.
   - L2C cleanups to avoid unlocking caches if we're prevented by the
     secure support to unlock.
   - Avoid cleaning a potentially dirty cache containing stale data on
     CPU initialisation
   - Add ARM-only entry point for secondary startup (for machines that
     can only call into a Thumb kernel in ARM mode).  Same thing is also
     done for the resume entry point.
   - Provide arch_irqs_disabled via asm-generic
   - Enlarge ARMv7M vector table
   - Always use BFD linker for VDSO, as gold doesn't accept some of the
     options we need.
   - Fix an incorrect BSYM (for Thumb symbols) usage, and convert all
     BSYM compiler macros to a "badr" (for branch address).
   - Shut up compiler warnings provoked by our cmpxchg() implementation.
   - Ensure bad xchg sizes fail to link"

* 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: (75 commits)
  ARM: Fix build if CLKDEV_LOOKUP is not configured

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Bigger items included in this update are:

   - A series of updates from Arnd for ARM randconfig build failures
   - Updates from Dmitry for StrongARM SA-1100 to move IRQ handling to
     drivers/irqchip/
   - Move ARMs SP804 timer to drivers/clocksource/
   - Perf updates from Mark Rutland in preparation to move the ARM perf
     code into drivers/ so it can be shared with ARM64.
   - MCPM updates from Nicolas
   - Add support for taking platform serial number from DT
   - Re-implement Keystone2 physical address space switch to conform to
     architecture requirements
   - Clean up ARMv7 LPAE code, which goes in hand with the Keystone2
     changes.
   - L2C cleanups to avoid unlocking caches if we're prevented by the
     secure support to unlock.
   - Avoid cleaning a potentially dirty cache containing stale data on
     CPU initialisation
   - Add ARM-only entry point for secondary startup (for machines that
     can only call into a Thumb kernel in ARM mode).  Same thing is also
     done for the resume entry point.
   - Provide arch_irqs_disabled via asm-generic
   - Enlarge ARMv7M vector table
   - Always use BFD linker for VDSO, as gold doesn't accept some of the
     options we need.
   - Fix an incorrect BSYM (for Thumb symbols) usage, and convert all
     BSYM compiler macros to a "badr" (for branch address).
   - Shut up compiler warnings provoked by our cmpxchg() implementation.
   - Ensure bad xchg sizes fail to link"

<id>e8d235d4d8fb8957bae5f6ed4521115203a00d8b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for NXP's LPC18xx (Cortex-M3) and LPC43xx (Cortex-M4)
SoCs. These SoCs are NXP's high preformance MCU line and can run at
clock speeds up to 180 MHz for LPC18xx and 204 MHz for LPC43xx.

LPC43xx is more or less a LPC18xx with a Cortex-M4F core and a few
extra peripherals. The LPC43xx series also features one or two
Cortex-M0 cores that can be used to offload the main M4 core.

<title>ARM: 8220/1: allow modules outside of bl range</title>

<content type='text'>
Loading modules far away from the kernel in memory is problematic
because the 'bl' instruction only has limited reach, and modules are not
built with PLTs. Instead of using the -mlong-calls option (which affects
all compiler emitted bl instructions, but not the ones in assembler),
this patch allocates some additional space at module load time, and
populates it with PLT like veneers when encountering relocations that
are out of range.

This should work with all relocations against symbols exported by the
kernel, including those resulting from GCC generated implicit function
calls for ftrace etc.

The module memory size increases by about 5% on average, regardless of
whether any PLT entries were actually needed. However, due to the page
based rounding that occurs when allocating module memory, the average
memory footprint increase is negligible.
