commit 4d9c5b89cf3605bbc39c6e274351ff25f0d83e6a upstream.

The stage-2 memory attributes are distinct from the Hyp memory
attributes and the Stage-1 memory attributes.  We were using the stage-1
memory attributes for stage-2 mappings causing device mappings to be
mapped as normal memory.  Add the S2 equivalent defines for memory
attributes and fix the comments explaining the defines while at it.

Add a prot_pte_s2 field to the mem_type struct and fill out the field
for device mappings accordingly.

<title>ARM: 7955/1: spinlock: ensure we have a compiler barrier before sev</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7c8746a9eb287642deaad0e7c2cdf482dce5e4be upstream.

When unlocking a spinlock, we require the following, strictly ordered
sequence of events:

	&lt;barrier&gt;	/* dmb */
	&lt;unlock&gt;
	&lt;barrier&gt;	/* dsb */
	&lt;sev&gt;

Whilst the code does indeed reflect this in terms of the architecture,
the final &lt;barrier&gt; + &lt;sev&gt; have been contracted into a single inline
asm without a "memory" clobber, therefore the compiler is at liberty to
reorder the unlock to the end of the above sequence. In such a case,
a waiting CPU may be woken up before the lock has been unlocked, leading
to extremely poor performance.

This patch reworks the dsb_sev() function to make use of the dsb()
macro and ensure ordering against the unlock.

commit d8aa712c30148ba26fd89a5dc14de95d4c375184 upstream.

Commit f6f91b0d9fd9 (ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the
vector page) required two pages for the vectors code.  Although the
code setting up the initial page tables was updated, the code which
allocates page tables for new processes wasn't, neither was the code
which tears down the mappings.  Fix this.

In ftrace_syscall_enter(),
    syscall_get_arguments(..., 0, n, ...)
        if (i == 0) { &lt;handle ORIG_r0&gt; ...; n--;}
        memcpy(..., n * sizeof(args[0]));
If 'number of arguments(n)' is zero and 'argument index(i)' is also zero in
syscall_get_arguments(), none of arguments should be copied by memcpy().
Otherwise 'n--' can be a big positive number and unexpected amount of data
will be copied. Tracing system calls which take no argument, say sync(void),
may hit this case and eventually make the system corrupted.
This patch fixes the issue both in syscall_get_arguments() and
syscall_set_arguments().

a kernel crash to a GCC bug: GCC miscompiles certain 'asm goto'
constructs, as outlined here:

Implement a workaround suggested by Jakub Jelinek.

types) introduced an ARM specific 'asm/types.h' to work around some
ambiguities in the definitions of 32 bit types. Hence, we will not be
needing the generic version anymore.

Currently mcpm_cpu_power_down() and mcpm_cpu_suspend() trigger BUG()
if mcpm_platform_register() is not called beforehand.  This may occur
for many reasons such as some incomplete device tree passed to the kernel
or the like.

Let's be nicer to users and avoid killing the kernel if that happens by
logging a warning and returning to the caller.  The mcpm_cpu_suspend()
user is already set to deal with this situation, and so is cpu_die()
invoking mcpm_cpu_die().

The problematic case would have been the B.L switcher's usage of
mcpm_cpu_power_down(), however it has to call mcpm_cpu_power_up() first
which is already set to catch an error resulting from a missing
mcpm_platform_register() call.
