Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in this update are both some long term fixes and some new
  features.

  Fixes:

   - An integer overflow in the calculation of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE.

   - Avoiding OOMs for high-order IOMMU allocations

   - SMP requires the data cache to be enabled for synchronisation
     primitives to work, so prevent the CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE option being
     visible on SMP builds.

   - A bug going back 10+ years in the noMMU ARM94* CPU support code,
     where it corrupts registers.  Found by folk getting Linux running
     on their cameras.

   - Versatile Express needs an errata workaround enabled for CPU
     hot-unplug to work.

  Features:

   - Clean up module linker by handling out of range relocations
     separately from relocation cases we don't handle.

   - Fix a long term bug in the pci_mmap_page_range() code, which we
     hope won't impact userspace (we hope there's no users of the
     existing broken interface.)

   - Don't map DMA coherent allocations when we don't have a MMU.

   - Drop experimental status for SMP_ON_UP.

   - Warn when DT doesn't specify ePAPR mandatory cache properties.

   - Add documentation concerning how we find the start of physical
     memory for AUTO_ZRELADDR kernels, detailing why we have chosen the
     mask and the implications of changing it.

   - Updates from Ard Biesheuvel to address some issues with large
     kernels (such as allyesconfig) failing to link.

   - Allow hibernation to work on modern (ARMv7) CPUs - this appears to
     have never worked in the past on these CPUs.

   - Enable IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL, which changes the /proc/interrupts output
     format (hopefully without userspace breaking...  let's hope that if
     it causes someone a problem, they tell us.)

   - Fix tegra-ahb DT offsets.

   - Rework ARM errata 643719 code (and ARMv7 flush_cache_louis()/
     flush_dcache_all()) code to be more efficient, and enable this
     errata workaround by default for ARMv7+SMP CPUs.  This complements
     the Versatile Express fix above.

   - Rework ARMv7 context code for errata 430973, so that only Cortex A8
     CPUs are impacted by the branch target buffer flush when this
     errata is enabled.  Also update the help text to indicate that all
     r1p* A8 CPUs are impacted.

   - Switch ARM to the generic show_mem() implementation, it conveys all
     the information which we were already reporting.

   - Prevent slow timer sources being used for udelay() - timers running
     at less than 1MHz are not useful for this, and can cause udelay()
     to return immediately, without any wait.  Using such a slow timer
     is silly.

   - VDSO support for 32-bit ARM, mainly for gettimeofday() using the
     ARM architected timer.

   - Perf support for Scorpion performance monitoring units"

vdso semantic conflict fixed up as per linux-next.

<title>mm: fold arch_randomize_brk into ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE</title>

<id>204db6ed17743000691d930368a5abd6ea541c58</id>
<content type='text'>
The arch_randomize_brk() function is used on several architectures,
even those that don't support ET_DYN ASLR. To avoid bulky extern/#define
tricks, consolidate the support under CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE for
the architectures that support it, while still handling CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK.

<title>ARM: 8320/1: fix integer overflow in ELF_ET_DYN_BASE</title>

<id>8defb3367fcd19d1af64c07792aade0747b54e0f</id>
<content type='text'>
Usually ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is 2/3 of TASK_SIZE. With 3G/1G user/kernel
split this is not so, because 2*TASK_SIZE overflows 32 bits,
so the actual value of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is:
	(2 * TASK_SIZE / 3) = 0x2a000000

When ASLR is disabled PIE binaries will load at ELF_ET_DYN_BASE address.
On 32bit platforms AddressSanitzer uses addresses [0x20000000 - 0x40000000]
for shadow memory [1]. So ASan doesn't work for PIE binaries when ASLR disabled
as it fails to map shadow memory.
Also after Kees's 'split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR' patchset PIE binaries
has a high chance of loading somewhere in between [0x2a000000 - 0x40000000]
even if ASLR enabled. This makes ASan with PIE absolutely incompatible.

Fix overflow by dividing TASK_SIZE prior to multiplying.
After this patch ELF_ET_DYN_BASE equals to (for CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y):
	(TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2) = 0x7f555554

Define the layout of the data structure shared between kernel and
userspace.

Track the vdso address in the mm_context; needed for communicating
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the ELF loader.

Add declarations for arm_install_vdso; implementation is in a
following patch.

Define AT_SYSINFO_EHDR, and, if CONFIG_VDSO=y, report the vdso shared
object address via the ELF auxiliary vector.

Note - this adds the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR in a new user-visible header
asm/auxvec.h; this is consistent with other architectures.

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.

Olof reports that noMMU builds error out with:

arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: In function 'setup_return':
arch/arm/kernel/signal.c:413:25: error: 'mm_context_t' has no member named 'sigpage'

This shows one of the evilnesses of IS_ENABLED().  Get rid of it here
and replace it with #ifdef's - and as no noMMU platform can make use
of sigpage, depend on CONIFG_MMU not CONFIG_ARM_MPU.

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in
the vectors page.  This allows us to place them randomly within this
page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace
further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks.  The new
VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page.

<title>ARM: 7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mapping</title>

The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible
hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes
problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55

Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses
the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating
the horrible hack VMAs into one.
