commit 5727347180ebc6b4a866fcbe00dcb39cc03acb37 upstream.

On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore
IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is
significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value
to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to
max_period events.

Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due
to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt
handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing
the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero
when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when
overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag
cleared and end up computing a large negative delta.

This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and
instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for
non-sampling profiling runs.

<title>ARM: 7325/1: fix v7 boot with lockdep enabled</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 8e43a905dd574f54c5715d978318290ceafbe275 upstream.

Bootup with lockdep enabled has been broken on v7 since b46c0f74657d
("ARM: 7321/1: cache-v7: Disable preemption when reading CCSIDR").

This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls
v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch
ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off())
when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off).

Fix this by using a notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs.  The code
already uses the notrace variant of restore_irqs.

<title>ARM: 7187/1: fix unwinding for XIP kernels</title>
<updated>2011-12-06T11:16:13+00:00</updated>

<id>de66a979012dbc66b1ec0125795a3f79ee667b8a</id>
<content type='text'>
The linker places the unwind tables in readonly sections. So when using
an XIP kernel these are located in ROM and cannot be modified.
For that reason the current approach to convert the relative offsets in
the unwind index to absolute addresses early in the boot process doesn't
work with XIP.

The offsets in the unwind index section are signed 31 bit numbers and
the structs are sorted by this offset. So it first has offsets between
0x40000000 and 0x7fffffff (i.e. the negative offsets) and then offsets
between 0x00000000 and 0x3fffffff. When seperating these two blocks the
numbers are sorted even when interpreting the offsets as unsigned longs.

So determine the first non-negative entry once and track that using the
new origin pointer. The actual bisection can then use a plain unsigned
long comparison. The only thing that makes the new bisection more
complicated is that the offsets are relative to their position in the
index section, so the key to search needs to be adapted accordingly in
each step.

Moreover several consts are added to catch future writes and rename the
member "addr" of struct unwind_idx to "addr_offset" to better match the
new semantic. (This has the additional benefit of breaking eventual
users at compile time to make them aware of the change.)

In my tests the new algorithm was a tad faster than the original and has
the additional upside of not needing the initial conversion and so saves
some boot time and it's possible to unwind even earlier.
