commit 5f5092e72cc25a6a5785308270e0085b2b2772cc upstream.

Since we indirect all of our PMU IRQ handling through a dispatcher, it's
trivial to hook up perf_sample_event_took to prevent applications such
as oprofile from generating interrupt storms due to an unrealisticly
low sample period.

commit 8fad87bca7ac9737e413ba5f1656f1114a8c314d upstream.

When we configure CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, pfn &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT will
overflow if pfn &gt;= 0x100000 in copy_oldmem_page.
So use __pfn_to_phys for converting.

commit 56b700fd6f1e49149880fb1b6ffee0dca5be45fb upstream.

For vmcore generated by LPAE enabled kernel, user space
utility such as crash needs additional infomation to
parse.

So this patch add arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo as what PAE enabled
i386 linux does.

commit 571b14375019c3a66ef70d4d4a7083f4238aca30 upstream.

If the kernel is loaded higher in physical memory than normal, and we
calculate PHYS_OFFSET higher than the start of RAM, this leads to
boot problems as we attempt to map part of this RAM into userspace.
Rather than struggle with this, just truncate the mapping.

Use CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT to determine
if ignoring or truncating of memory banks is
neccessary. This may be needed in the case of
64-bit memory bank addresses but when phys_addr_t
is kept 32-bit.

commit 4f9b4fb7a2091eec339413a460b1665758401828 upstream.

In case of normal kexec kernel load, all cpu's are offlined
before calling machine_kexec().But in case crash panic cpus
are relaxed in machine_crash_nonpanic_core() SMP function
but not offlined.

When crash kernel is loaded with kexec and on panic trigger
machine_kexec() checks for number of cpus online.
If more than one cpu is online machine_kexec() fails to load
with below error

kexec: error: multiple CPUs still online

In machine_crash_nonpanic_core() SMP function, offline CPU
before cpu_relax

commit 1b15ec7a7427d4188ba91b9bbac696250a059d22 upstream.

get_wchan() is lockless. Task may wakeup at any time and change its own stack,
thus each next stack frame may be overwritten and filled with random stuff.

/proc/$pid/stack interface had been disabled for non-current tasks, see [1]
But 'wchan' still allows to trigger stack frame unwinding on volatile stack.

This patch fixes oops in unwind_frame() by adding stack pointer validation on
each step (as x86 code do), unwind_frame() already checks frame pointer.

Also I've found another report of this oops on stackoverflow (irony).
