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.

commit 6d7d5da7d75c6df676c8b72d32b02ff024438f0c upstream.

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 e44ef891e9e68b6ce7d3fd3bac73b7d5433050ae upstream.

The MPIDR contains specific bitfields(MPIDR.Aff{2..0}) which uniquely
identify a CPU, in addition to some non-identifying information and
reserved bits. The ARM cpu binding defines the 'reg' property to only
contain the affinity bits, and any cpu nodes with other bits set in
their 'reg' entry are skipped.

As such it is not necessary to mask the phys_id with MPIDR_HWID_BITMASK,
and doing so could lead to matching erroneous CPU nodes in the device
tree. This patch removes the masking of the physical identifier.

commit b31459adeab018b297541e288ac88873011da82a upstream.

The __do_cache_op function operates with a 'chunk' size of one page
but fails to limit the size of the final chunk so as to not exceed
the specified memory region. Fix this.

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).

commit e16b31bf47738f4498d7ce632e12d7d2a6a2492a upstream.

The exception handling code fails to clear the IT state, potentially
leading to incorrect execution of the fixup if the size of the IT
block is more than one.

Let fixup_exception do the IT sanitizing if a fixup has been found,
and restore CPSR from the stack when returning from a data abort.

The generic code is well equipped to differentiate between
SMP and UP configurations.However, there are some devices which
use Cortex-A9 MP core IP with 1 CPU as configuration. To let
these SOCs to co-exist in a CONFIG_SMP=y build by leveraging
the SMP_ON_UP support, we need to additionally check the
number the cores in Cortex-A9 MPCore configuration. Without
such a check in place, the startup code tries to execute
ALT_SMP() set of instructions which lead to CPU faults.

The issue was spotted on TI's Aegis device and this patch
makes now the device work with omap2plus_defconfig which
enables SMP by default. The change is kept limited to only
Cortex-A9 MPCore detection code.

Note that if any future SoC *does* use 0x0 as the PERIPH_BASE, then
the SCU address check code needs to be #ifdef'd for for the Aegis
platform.
