commit 7006e2dfda9adfa40251093604db76d7e44263b3 upstream.

Each MIPS KVM guest has its own copy of the KVM exception vector. This
contains the TLB refill exception handler at offset 0x000, the general
exception handler at offset 0x180, and interrupt exception handlers at
offset 0x200 in case Cause_IV=1. A common handler is copied to offset
0x2000 and offset 0x3000 is used for temporarily storing k1 during entry
from guest.

However the amount of memory allocated for this purpose is calculated as
0x200 rounded up to the next page boundary, which is insufficient if 4KB
pages are in use. This can lead to the common handler at offset 0x2000
being overwritten and infinitely recursive exceptions on the next exit
from the guest.

Increase the minimum size from 0x200 to 0x4000 to cover the full use of
the page.

commit 9dcc87fec8947308e0111c65dcd881e6aa5b1673 upstream.

sam9x5 SoCs have the following errata:
 "RTC: Interrupt Mask Register cannot be used
  Interrupt Mask Register read always returns 0."

Hence we should not rely on what IMR claims about already masked IRQs
and just disable all IRQs.

<title>KVM: lapic: sync highest ISR to hardware apic on EOI</title>

commit fc57ac2c9ca8109ea97fcc594f4be436944230cc upstream.

When Hyper-V enlightenments are in effect, Windows prefers to issue an
Hyper-V MSR write to issue an EOI rather than an x2apic MSR write.
The Hyper-V MSR write is not handled by the processor, and besides
being slower, this also causes bugs with APIC virtualization.  The
reason is that on EOI the processor will modify the highest in-service
interrupt (SVI) field of the VMCS, as explained in section 29.1.4 of
the SDM; every other step in EOI virtualization is already done by
apic_send_eoi or on VM entry, but this one is missing.

We need to do the same, and be careful not to muck with the isr_count
and highest_isr_cache fields that are unused when virtual interrupt
delivery is enabled.

<title>ARM: mvebu: fix NOR bus-width in Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3 Device Tree</title>

commit 6e20bae8a39c40d4e03698e4160bad2d2629062b upstream.

The mvebu-devbus driver had a serious bug, which lead to a 8 bits bus
width declared in the Device Tree being considered as a 16 bits bus
width when configuring the hardware.

This bug in mvebu-devbus driver was compensated by a symetric mistake
in the Armada XP OpenBlocks AX3 Device Tree: a 8 bits bus width was
declared, even though the hardware actually has a 16 bits bus width
connection with the NOR flash.

Now that we have fixed the mvebu-devbus driver to behave according to
its Device Tree binding, this commit fixes the problematic Device Tree
files as well.

This bug was introduced in commit
a7d4f81821f7eec3175f8e23dd6949c71ab2da43 ('ARM: mvebu: Add support for
NOR flash device on Openblocks AX3 board') which was merged in v3.10.

commit 5f5092e72cc25a6a5785308270e0085b2b2772cc upstream.

Since we indirect all of our PMU IRQ handling through a dispatcher, it's
trivial to hook up perf_sample_event_took to prevent applications such
as oprofile from generating interrupt storms due to an unrealisticly
low sample period.

commit 14c63f17b1fde5a575a28e96547a22b451c71fb5 upstream.

This patch keeps track of how long perf's NMI handler is taking,
and also calculates how many samples perf can take a second.  If
the sample length times the expected max number of samples
exceeds a configurable threshold, it drops the sample rate.

This way, we don't have a runaway sampling process eating up the
CPU.

This patch can tend to drop the sample rate down to level where
perf doesn't work very well.  *BUT* the alternative is that my
system hangs because it spends all of its time handling NMIs.

I'll take a busted performance tool over an entire system that's
busted and undebuggable any day.

BTW, my suspicion is that there's still an underlying bug here.
Using the HPET instead of the TSC is definitely a contributing
factor, but I suspect there are some other things going on.
But, I can't go dig down on a bug like that with my machine
hanging all the time.

commit 537094b64b229bf3ad146042f83e74cf6abe59df upstream.

According to arm procedure call standart r2 register is call-cloberred.
So after the result of x expression was put into r2 any following
function call in p may overwrite r2. To fix this, the result of p
expression must be saved to the temporary variable before the
assigment x expression to __r2.
