On ACPI based systems where the topology is setup using the API
store_cpu_topology, at the moment we do not have necessary code
to parse cpu capacity and handle cpufreq notifier, thus
resulting in a kernel panic.

<title>arm64: avoid returning from bad_mode</title>

<id>7d9e8f71b989230bc613d121ca38507d34ada849</id>
<content type='text'>
Generally, taking an unexpected exception should be a fatal event, and
bad_mode is intended to cater for this. However, it should be possible
to contain unexpected synchronous exceptions from EL0 without bringing
the kernel down, by sending a SIGILL to the task.

We tried to apply this approach in commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95 ("arm64:
don't kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0"), by sending a signal for
any bad_mode call resulting from an EL0 exception.

However, this also applies to other unexpected exceptions, such as
SError and FIQ. The entry paths for these exceptions branch to bad_mode
without configuring the link register, and have no kernel_exit. Thus, if
we take one of these exceptions from EL0, bad_mode will eventually
return to the original user link register value.

This patch fixes this by introducing a new bad_el0_sync handler to cater
for the recoverable case, and restoring bad_mode to its original state,
whereby it calls panic() and never returns. The recoverable case
branches to bad_el0_sync with a bl, and returns to userspace via the
usual ret_to_user mechanism.

We cannot preserve partial fields for hardware breakpoints, because
the values written by userspace to the hardware breakpoint
registers can't subsequently be recovered intact from the hardware.

So, just reject attempts to write incomplete fields with -EINVAL.

  series has been reintgrated in the last two days because there came a

  Summary:

   - convert the last leftover drivers utilizing notifiers

   - fixup for a completely broken hotplug user

   - prevent setup of already used states

   - removal of the notifiers

   - treewide cleanup of hotplug state names

   - consolidation of state space

  There is a sphinx based documentation pending, but that needs review

When the state names got added a script was used to add the extra argument
to the calls. The script basically converted the state constant to a
string, but the cleanup to convert these strings into meaningful ones did
not happen.

Replace all the useless strings with 'subsys/xxx/yyy:state' strings which
are used in all the other places already.

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*&lt;asm/uaccess.h&gt;'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.
