commit 1aa2b3b7a6c4f3dbd3671171113a20e6a6190e3b upstream.

Running an OABI_COMPAT kernel on an SMP platform can lead to fun and
games with page aging.

If one CPU issues a swi instruction immediately before another CPU
decides to mkold the page containing the swi instruction, then we will
fault attempting to load the instruction during the vector_swi handler
in order to retrieve its immediate field. Since this fault is not
currently dealt with by our exception tables, this results in a panic:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 4020841c
  pgd = c490c000
  [4020841c] *pgd=84451831, *pte=bf05859d, *ppte=00000000
  Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
  Modules linked in: hid_sony(O)
  CPU: 1    Tainted: G        W  O  (3.4.0-perf-gf496dca-01162-gcbcc62b #1)
  PC is at vector_swi+0x28/0x88
  LR is at 0x40208420

This patch wraps all of the swi instruction loads with the USER macro
and provides a shared exception table entry which simply rewinds the
saved user PC and returns from the system call (without setting tbl, so
there's no worries with tracing or syscall restarting). Returning to
userspace will re-enter the page fault handler, from where we will
probably send SIGSEGV to the current task.

commit 5ca918e5e3f9df4634077c06585c42bc6a8d699a upstream.

The alignment fixup incorrectly decodes faulting ARM VLDn/VSTn
instructions (where the optional alignment hint is given but incorrect)
as LDR/STR, leading to register corruption. Detect these and correctly
treat them as unhandled, so that userspace gets the fault it expects.

commit e2ccba49085ab5d71b092de2a5176eb9b19cc876 upstream.

Copying a function with memcpy() and then trying to execute the
result isn't trivially portable to Thumb.

This patch modifies the kexec soft restart code to copy its
assembler trampoline relocate_new_kernel() using fncpy() instead,
so that relocate_new_kernel can be in the same ISA as the rest of
the kernel without problems.

<title>ARM: 8133/1: use irq_set_affinity with force=false when migrating irqs</title>

commit a040803a9d6b8c1876d3487a5cb69602ebcbb82c upstream.

Since commit 1dbfa187dad ("ARM: irq migration: force migration off CPU
going down") the ARM interrupt migration code on cpu offline calls
irqchip.irq_set_affinity() with the argument force=true. At the point
of this change the argument had no effect because it was not used by
any interrupt chip driver and there was no semantics defined.

This changed with commit 01f8fa4f01d8 ("genirq: Allow forcing cpu
affinity of interrupts") which made the force argument useful to route
interrupts to not yet online cpus without checking the target cpu
against the cpu online mask. The following commit ffde1de64012
("irqchip: gic: Support forced affinity setting") implemented this for
the GIC interrupt controller.

As a consequence the ARM cpu offline irq migration fails if CPU0 is
offlined, because CPU0 is still set in the affinity mask and the
validataion against cpu online mask is skipped to the force argument
being true. The following first_cpu(mask) selection always selects
CPU0 as the target.

Solve the issue by calling irq_set_affinity() with force=false from
the CPU offline irq migration code so the GIC driver validates the
affinity mask against CPU online mask and therefore removes CPU0 from
the possible target candidates.

Tested on TC2 hotpluging CPU0 in and out. Without this patch the system
locks up as the IRQs are not migrated away from CPU0.

commit 85868313177700d20644263a782351262d2aff84 upstream.

The ARMv6 and ARMv7 early abort handlers clear the exclusive monitors
upon entry to the kernel, but this is redundant:

  - We clear the monitors on every exception return since commit
    200b812d0084 ("Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an
    exception"), so this is not necessary to ensure the monitors are
    cleared before returning from a fault handler.

  - Any dummy STREX will target a temporary scratch area in memory, and
    may succeed or fail without corrupting useful data. Its status value
    will not be used.

  - Any other STREX in the kernel must be preceded by an LDREX, which
    will initialise the monitors consistently and will not depend on the
    earlier state of the monitors.

Therefore we have no reason to care about the initial state of the
exclusive monitors when a data abort is taken, and clearing the monitors
prior to exception return (as we already do) is sufficient.

This patch removes the redundant clearing of the exclusive monitors from
the early abort handlers.

<title>ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Rearm wake-up interrupts for DT when MUSB is idled</title>

<content type='text'>
commit cc824534d4fef0e46e4486d5c1e10d3c6b1ebadc upstream.

Looks like MUSB cable removal can cause wake-up interrupts to
stop working for device tree based booting at least for UART3
even as nothing is dynamically remuxed. This can be fixed by
calling reconfigure_io_chain() for device tree based booting
in hwmod code. Note that we already do that for legacy booting
if the legacy mux is configured.

My guess is that this is related to UART3 and MUSB ULPI
hsusb0_data0 and hsusb0_data1 support for Carkit mode that
somehow affect the configured IO chain for UART3 and require
rearming the wake-up interrupts.

In general, for device tree based booting, pinctrl-single
calls the rearm hook that in turn calls reconfigure_io_chain
so calling reconfigure_io_chain should not be needed from the
hwmod code for other events.

So let's limit the hwmod rearming of iochain only to
HWMOD_FORCE_MSTANDBY where MUSB is currently the only user
of it. If we see other devices needing similar changes we can
add more checks for it.

commit 811a2407a3cf7bbd027fbe92d73416f17485a3d8 upstream.

On LPAE, each level 1 (pgd) page table entry maps 1GiB, and the level 2
(pmd) entries map 2MiB.

When the identity mapping is created on LPAE, the pgd pointers are copied
from the swapper_pg_dir.  If we find that we need to modify the contents
of a pmd, we allocate a new empty pmd table and insert it into the
appropriate 1GB slot, before then filling it with the identity mapping.

However, if the 1GB slot covers the kernel lowmem mappings, we obliterate
those mappings.

When replacing a PMD, first copy the old PMD contents to the new PMD, so
that we preserve the existing mappings, particularly the mappings of the
kernel itself.

<title>locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures</title>

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.
