commit 5008efc83bf85b647aa1cbc44718b1675bbb7444 upstream.

The PJ4 inline asm sequence to write to cp15 cannot be built in Thumb-2
mode, due to the way it performs arithmetic on the program counter, so it
is built in ARM mode instead. However, building C files in ARM mode under
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is problematic, since the instrumentation performed
by subsystems like ftrace does not expect having to deal with interworking
branches.

Since the sequence in question is simply a poor man's ISB instruction,
let's use a straight 'isb' instead when building in Thumb2 mode. Thumb2
implies V7, so 'isb' should always be supported in that case.

commit 80354c29025833acd72ddac1ffa21c6cb50128cd upstream.

The interrupt line used for the watchdog is 12, according to the official
Intel Edison BSP code.

And indeed after fixing it we start getting an interrupt and thus the
watchdog starts working again:

commit 75013fb16f8484898eaa8d0b08fed942d790f029 upstream.

Fix to the exception table entry check by using probed address
instead of the address of copied instruction.

This bug may cause unexpected kernel panic if user probe an address
where an exception can happen which should be fixup by __ex_table
(e.g. copy_from_user.)

Unless user puts a kprobe on such address, this doesn't
cause any problem.

This bug has been introduced years ago, by commit:

commit 8fd524b355da ("x86: Kill bad_dma_address variable") has killed
bad_dma_address variable and used instead of macro DMA_ERROR_CODE
which is always zero. Since dma_addr is unsigned, the statement

   dma_addr &gt;= DMA_ERROR_CODE

is always true, and not needed.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix opal_exit tracepoint opcode</title>

<id>e736adbe1f3e61a5a0f0c7bc38c7189fd1197e2c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a7e0fb6c2029a780444d09560f739e020d54fe4d upstream.

Currently the opal_exit tracepoint usually shows the opcode as 0:

  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [047] d.h.   635.654292: opal_entry: opcode=63
  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [047] d.h.   635.654296: opal_exit: opcode=0 retval=0
  kopald-1209  [019] d...   636.420943: opal_entry: opcode=10
  kopald-1209  [019] d...   636.420959: opal_exit: opcode=0 retval=0

This is because we incorrectly load the opcode into r0 before calling
__trace_opal_exit(), whereas it expects the opcode in r3 (first function
parameter). In fact we are leaving the retval in r3, so opcode and
retval will always show the same value.

Instead load the opcode into r3, resulting in:

  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [040] d.h.   636.618625: opal_entry: opcode=63
  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [040] d.h.   636.618627: opal_exit: opcode=63 retval=0

The problem seems to be caused by commit 83bc76920080 ("MIPS: JZ4740: Use
generic irq chip") from linux-3.2, but only showed up in a defconfig
build when qi_lb60_defconfig was added in linux-3.13 and that configuration
never successfully built.

The code has changed in a number of ways before 4.4, which builds fine.
While I did not bisect the problem to a specific change, I found a simple
fix by including the obviously missing header.

<title>arm64: build vdso without libgcov</title>

commit 543097843ca7c9ac3758d0b5879ea2a6f44089de upstream.

On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be
available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV
enabled then results in a build error:

/home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov

We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so
this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as
we do for most other architectures.
