[ Upstream commit d0d378ff451a66e486488eec842e507d28145813 ]

With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, memcpy uses the declared size of operands to
detect buffer overflows.  If src or dest is declared as a char, attempts to
copy more than byte will result in a fortify_panic().

Address this problem in mvebu_setup_boot_addr_wa() by declaring
mvebu_boot_wa_start and mvebu_boot_wa_end as character arrays.  Also remove
a couple addressof operators to avoid "arithmetic on pointer to an
incomplete type" compiler error.

See commit 54a7d50b9205 ("x86: mark kprobe templates as character arrays,
not single characters") for a similar fix.

Fixes "detected buffer overflow in memcpy" error during init on some mvebu
systems (armada-370-xp, armada-375):

(fortify_panic) from (mvebu_setup_boot_addr_wa+0xb0/0xb4)

of_find_compatible_node() returns a device node with refcount incremented
and thus needs an explicit of_node_put(). Further relying on an unchecked
of_iomap() which can return NULL is problematic here, after all ctrl_base
is critical enough for hix5hd2_set_cpu() to call BUG() if not available

[ Upstream commit cd4806911cee3901bc2b5eb95603cf1958720b57 ]

For most of Exynos SoCs, Power Management Unit (PMU) address space is
mapped into global variable 'pmu_base_addr' very early when initializing
PMU interrupt controller.  A lot of other machine code depends on it so
when doing iounmap() on this address, clear the global as well to avoid
usage of invalid value (pointing to unmapped memory region).

Properly mapped PMU address space is a requirement for all other machine
code so this fix is purely theoretical.  Boot will fail immediately in
many other places after following this error path.

forgot to update the 32bit counterpart, which has the same requirements.

commit 6e1811900b6fe6f2b4665dba6bd6ed32c6b98575 upstream.

On all versions of Tegra30 Cardhu, the reset signal to the NXP PCA9546
I2C mux is connected to the Tegra GPIO BB0. Currently, this pin on the
Tegra is not configured as a GPIO but as a special-function IO (SFIO)
that is multiplexing the pin to an I2S controller. On exiting system
suspend, I2C commands sent to the PCA9546 are failing because there is
no ACK. Although it is not possible to see exactly what is happening
to the reset during suspend, by ensuring it is configured as a GPIO
and driven high, to de-assert the reset, the failures are no longer
seen.

Please note that this GPIO is also used to drive the reset signal
going to the camera connector on the board. However, given that there
is no camera support currently for Cardhu, this should not have any
impact.

commit 86658b819cd0a9aa584cd84453ed268a6f013770 upstream.

Contention on updating a PMD entry by a large number of vcpus can lead
to duplicate work when handling stage 2 page faults. As the page table
update follows the break-before-make requirement of the architecture,
it can lead to repeated refaults due to clearing the entry and
flushing the tlbs.

This problem is more likely when -

* there are large number of vcpus
* the mapping is large block mapping

such as when using PMD hugepages (512MB) with 64k pages.

Fix this by skipping the page table update if there is no change in
the entry being updated.
