A zero value for prot_sect in the memory types table implies that
section mappings should never be created for the memory type in question.
This is checked for in alloc_init_section().

With LPAE, we set a bit to mask access flag faults for kernel mappings.
This breaks the aforementioned (!prot_sect) check in alloc_init_section().

This patch fixes this bug by first checking for a non-zero
prot_sect before setting the PMD_SECT_AF flag.

of the cache controller to work around known problems. Writing these
registers on L220 may cause deadlock, so ensure that we only perform
this operation when we identify a PL310 at probe time.

The workaround for PL310 erratum #753970 can lead to deadlock on systems
with an L220 cache controller.

This patch makes the workaround effective only when the cache controller
is identified as a PL310 at probe time.

<title>ARM: 7396/1: errata: only handle ARM erratum #326103 on affected cores</title>

<id>f0c4b8d653f5ee091fb8d4d02ed7eaad397491bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Erratum #326103 ("FSR write bit incorrect on a SWP to read-only memory")
only affects the ARM 1136 core prior to r1p0. The workaround
disassembles the faulting instruction to determine whether it was a read
or write access on all v6 cores.

An issue has been reported on the ARM 11MPCore whereby loading the
faulting instruction may happen in parallel with that page being
unmapped, resulting in a deadlock due to the lack of TLB broadcasting
in hardware:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-March/091561.html

This patch limits the workaround so that it is only used on affected
cores, which are known to be UP only. Other v6 cores can rely on the
FSR to indicate the access type correctly.

<title>ARM: 7384/1: ThumbEE: Disable userspace TEEHBR access for !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE</title>

<id>078c04545ba56da21567728a909a496df5ff730d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE
register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state
of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the
ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour
when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing
covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot
jails.

This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR
when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to
access TEEHBR.

Commit 94e5a85b ("ARM: earlier initialization of vectors page") made it
the responsibility of paging_init to initialise the vectors page.

This patch adds a call to early_trap_init for the !CONFIG_MMU case,
placing the vectors at CONFIG_VECTORS_BASE.

commit 8878a539ff19a43cf3729e7562cd528f490246ae was done by me
to make the page fault handler retryable as well as interruptible.

Due to this commit, there is a mistake in the way in which
tsk-&gt;[maj|min]_flt counter gets incremented for VM_FAULT_ERROR:
If VM_FAULT_ERROR is returned in the fault flags by handle_mm_fault,
then either maj_flt or min_flt will get incremented. This is wrong
as in the case of a VM_FAULT_ERROR we need to be skip ahead to the
error handling code in do_page_fault.

Added a check after the call to __do_page_fault() to check for
(fault &amp; VM_FAULT_ERROR).
