x86/xen: do not identity map UNUSABLE regions in the machine E820

2013-08-29T16:47:40+00:00

commit 3bc38cbceb85881a8eb789ee1aa56678038b1909 upstream.

If there are UNUSABLE regions in the machine memory map, dom0 will
attempt to map them 1:1 which is not permitted by Xen and the kernel
will crash.

There isn't anything interesting in the UNUSABLE region that the dom0
kernel needs access to so we can avoid making the 1:1 mapping and
treat it as RAM.

We only do this for dom0, as that is where tboot case shows up.
A PV domU could have an UNUSABLE region in its pseudo-physical map
and would need to be handled in another patch.

This fixes a boot failure on hosts with tboot.

tboot marks a region in the e820 map as unusable and the dom0 kernel
would attempt to map this region and Xen does not permit unusable
regions to be mapped by guests.

x86 get_unmapped_area: Access mmap_legacy_base through mm_struct member

2013-08-29T16:47:39+00:00

commit 41aacc1eea645c99edbe8fbcf78a97dc9b862adc upstream.

This is the updated version of df54d6fa5427 ("x86 get_unmapped_area():
use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction") that only randomizes the
mmap base address once.

Revert "x86 get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction"

2013-08-29T16:47:39+00:00

commit 5ea80f76a56605a190a7ea16846c82aa63dbd0aa upstream.

This reverts commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826.

The commit isn't necessarily wrong, but because it recalculates the
random mmap_base every time, it seems to confuse user memory allocators
that expect contiguous mmap allocations even when the mmap address isn't
specified.

In particular, the MATLAB Java runtime seems to be unhappy. See

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60774

So we'll want to apply the random offset only once, and Radu has a patch
for that.  Revert this older commit in order to apply the other one.

ARM: 7816/1: CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS: fix help text

2013-08-29T16:47:36+00:00

commit ac124504ecf6b20a2457d873d0728a8b991a5b0c upstream.

Commit f6f91b0d9fd9 ("ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the
vector page") introduced some help text for the CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS
option which is rather contradictory.

Let's fix that, and improve it a little.

ARM: davinci: nand: specify ecc strength

2013-08-29T16:47:36+00:00

commit acd36357edc08649e85ff15dc4ed62353c912eff upstream.

Starting with kernel v3.5, it is mandatory
to specify ECC strength when using hardware
ECC. Without this, kernel panics with a warning
of the sort:

Driver must set ecc.strength when using hardware ECC
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c:3519!

Fix this by specifying ECC strength for the boards
which were missing this.

x86: Don't clear olpc_ofw_header when sentinel is detected

2013-08-29T16:47:35+00:00

commit d55e37bb0f51316e552376ddc0a3fff34ca7108b upstream.

OpenFirmware wasn't quite following the protocol described in boot.txt
and the kernel has detected this through use of the sentinel value
in boot_params. OFW does zero out almost all of the stuff that it should
do, but not the sentinel.

This causes the kernel to clear olpc_ofw_header, which breaks x86 OLPC
support.

OpenFirmware has now been fixed. However, it would be nice if we could
maintain Linux compatibility with old firmware versions. To do that, we just
have to avoid zeroing out olpc_ofw_header.

OFW does not write to any other parts of the header that are being zapped
by the sentinel-detection code, and all users of olpc_ofw_header are
somewhat protected through checking for the OLPC_OFW_SIG magic value
before using it. So this should not cause any problems for anyone.

ARC: [lib] strchr breakage in Big-endian configuration

2013-08-29T16:47:34+00:00

commit b0f55f2a1a295c364be012e82dbab079a2454006 upstream.

For a search buffer, 2 byte aligned, strchr() was returning pointer
outside of buffer (buf - 1)

------------->8----------------
    // Input buffer (default 4 byte aigned)
    char *buffer = "1AA_";

    // actual search start (to mimick 2 byte alignment)
    char *current_line = &(buffer[2]);

    // Character to search for
    char c = 'A';

    char *c_pos = strchr(current_line, c);

    printf("%s\n", c_pos) --> 'AA_' as oppose to 'A_'
