commit e55355453600a33bb5ca4f71f2d7214875f3b061 upstream.

Enabling the hardware I/O coherency on Armada 370, Armada 375, Armada
38x and Armada XP requires a certain number of conditions:

 - On Armada 370, the cache policy must be set to write-allocate.

 - On Armada 375, 38x and XP, the cache policy must be set to
   write-allocate, the pages must be mapped with the shareable
   attribute, and the SMP bit must be set

Currently, on Armada XP, when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, those conditions
are met. However, when Armada XP is used in a !CONFIG_SMP kernel, none
of these conditions are met. With Armada 370, the situation is worse:
since the processor is single core, regardless of whether CONFIG_SMP
or !CONFIG_SMP is used, the cache policy will be set to write-back by
the kernel and not write-allocate.

Since solving this problem turns out to be quite complicated, and we
don't want to let users with a mainline kernel known to have
infrequent but existing data corruptions, this commit proposes to
simply disable hardware I/O coherency in situations where it is known
not to work.

And basically, the is_smp() function of the kernel tells us whether it
is OK to enable hardware I/O coherency or not, so this commit slightly
refactors the coherency_type() function to return
COHERENCY_FABRIC_TYPE_NONE when is_smp() is false, or the appropriate
type of the coherency fabric in the other case.

Thanks to this, the I/O coherency fabric will no longer be used at all
in !CONFIG_SMP configurations. It will continue to be used in
CONFIG_SMP configurations on Armada XP, Armada 375 and Armada 38x
(which are multiple cores processors), but will no longer be used on
Armada 370 (which is a single core processor).

In the process, it simplifies the implementation of the
coherency_type() function, and adds a missing call to of_node_put().

<title>ARM: sched_clock: Load cycle count after epoch stabilizes</title>

commit 336ae1180df5f69b9e0fb6561bec01c5f64361cf upstream.

There is a small race between when the cycle count is read from
the hardware and when the epoch stabilizes. Consider this
scenario:

 CPU0                           CPU1
 ----                           ----
 cyc = read_sched_clock()
 cyc_to_sched_clock()
                                 update_sched_clock()
                                  ...
                                  cd.epoch_cyc = cyc;
  epoch_cyc = cd.epoch_cyc;
  ...
  epoch_ns + cyc_to_ns((cyc - epoch_cyc)

The cyc on cpu0 was read before the epoch changed. But we
calculate the nanoseconds based on the new epoch by subtracting
the new epoch from the old cycle count. Since epoch is most likely
larger than the old cycle count we calculate a large number that
will be converted to nanoseconds and added to epoch_ns, causing
time to jump forward too much.

Fix this problem by reading the hardware after the epoch has
stabilized.

commit 995ab5189d1d7264e79e665dfa032a19b3ac646e upstream.

Under extremely rare conditions, in an MPCore node consisting of at
least 3 CPUs, two CPUs trying to perform a STREX to data on the same
shared cache line can enter a livelock situation.

This patch enables the HW mechanism that overcomes the bug. This fixes
the incorrect setup of the STREX backoff delay bit due to a wrong
description in the specification.

Note that enabling the STREX backoff delay mechanism is done by
leaving the bit *cleared*, while the bit was currently being set by
the proc-v7.S code.

[Thomas: adapt to latest mainline, slightly reword the commit log, add
stable markers.]

<title>ARM: 8216/1: xscale: correct auxiliary register in suspend/resume</title>

<content type='text'>
commit ef59a20ba375aeb97b3150a118318884743452a8 upstream.

According to the manuals I have, XScale auxiliary register should be
reached with opc_2 = 1 instead of crn = 1. cpu_xscale_proc_init
correctly uses c1, c0, 1 arguments, but cpu_xscale_do_suspend and
cpu_xscale_do_resume use c1, c1, 0. Correct suspend/resume functions to
also use c1, c0, 1.

The issue was primarily noticed thanks to qemu reporing "unsupported
instruction" on the pxa suspend path. Confirmed in PXA210/250 and PXA255
XScale Core manuals and in PXA270 and PXA320 Developers Guides.

Harware tested by me on tosa (pxa255). Robert confirmed on pxa270 board.

commit 759496ba6407c6994d6a5ce3a5e74937d7816208 upstream.

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

commit 871341023c771ad233620b7a1fb3d9c7031c4e5c upstream.

Kernel faults are expected to handle OOM conditions gracefully (gup,
uaccess etc.), so they should never invoke the OOM killer.  Reserve this
for faults triggered in user context when it is the only option.

Most architectures already do this, fix up the remaining few.

commit 63328070eff2f4fd730c86966a0dbc976147c39f upstream.

Currently BUG() uses .word or .hword to create the necessary illegal
instructions. However if we are building BE8 then these get swapped
by the linker into different illegal instructions in the text. This
means that the BUG() macro does not get trapped properly.

Change to using &lt;asm/opcodes.h&gt; to provide the necessary ARM instruction
building as we cannot rely on gcc/gas having the `.inst` instructions
which where added to try and resolve this issue (reported by Dave Martin
&lt;Dave.Martin@arm.com&gt;).

Currently BUG() uses .word or .hword to create the necessary illegal
instructions. However if we are building BE8 then these get swapped
by the linker into different illegal instructions in the text. This
means that the BUG() macro does not get trapped properly.

Change to using &lt;asm/opcodes.h&gt; to provide the necessary ARM instruction
building as we cannot rely on gcc/gas having the `.inst` instructions
which where added to try and resolve this issue (reported by Dave Martin
&lt;Dave.Martin@arm.com&gt;).

commit 888be25402021a425da3e85e2d5a954d7509286e upstream.

If we are running BE8, the data and instruction endianness do not
match, so use &lt;asm/opcodes.h&gt; to correctly translate memory accesses
into ARM instructions.

<title>ARM: 8198/1: make kuser helpers depend on MMU</title>

commit 08b964ff3c51b10aaf2e6ba639f40054c09f0f7a upstream.

The kuser helpers page is not set up on non-MMU systems, so it does
not make sense to allow CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be enabled when
CONFIG_MMU=n.  Allowing it to be set on !MMU results in an oops in
set_tls (used in execve and the arm_syscall trap handler):

Unhandled exception: IPSR = 00000005 LR = fffffff1

As best I can tell this issue existed for the set_tls ARM syscall
before commit fbfb872f5f41 "ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee
register state during exec" consolidated the TLS manipulation code
into the set_tls helper function, but now that we're using it to flush
register state during execve, !MMU users encounter the oops at the
first exec.

Prevent CONFIG_MMU=n configurations from enabling
CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS.

commit cfa1950e6c6b72251e80adc736af3c3d2907ab0e upstream.

When introducing support for sama5d3, the write to PMC_PCDR register has
been accidentally removed.
