commit a88afa46b86ff461c89cc33fc3a45267fff053e8 upstream.

When the kernel is configured to use the Thumb-2 instruction set
"suspend-to-memory" fails to resume. Observed on a Colibri iMX6ULL
(i.MX 6ULL) and Apalis iMX6 (i.MX 6Q).

It looks like the CPU resumes unconditionally in ARM instruction mode
and then chokes on the presented Thumb-2 code it should execute.

Fix this by using the arm instruction set for all code in
suspend-imx6.S.

<title>x86/boot/compressed: Disable relocation relaxation</title>

commit 09e43968db40c33a73e9ddbfd937f46d5c334924 upstream.

The x86-64 psABI [0] specifies special relocation types
(R_X86_64_[REX_]GOTPCRELX) for indirection through the Global Offset
Table, semantically equivalent to R_X86_64_GOTPCREL, which the linker
can take advantage of for optimization (relaxation) at link time. This
is supported by LLD and binutils versions 2.26 onwards.

The compressed kernel is position-independent code, however, when using
LLD or binutils versions before 2.27, it must be linked without the -pie
option. In this case, the linker may optimize certain instructions into
a non-position-independent form, by converting foo@GOTPCREL(%rip) to $foo.

This potential issue has been present with LLD and binutils-2.26 for a
long time, but it has never manifested itself before now:

- LLD and binutils-2.26 only relax
	movq	foo@GOTPCREL(%rip), %reg
  to
	leaq	foo(%rip), %reg
  which is still position-independent, rather than
	mov	$foo, %reg
  which is permitted by the psABI when -pie is not enabled.

- GCC happens to only generate GOTPCREL relocations on mov instructions.

- CLang does generate GOTPCREL relocations on non-mov instructions, but
  when building the compressed kernel, it uses its integrated assembler
  (due to the redefinition of KBUILD_CFLAGS dropping -no-integrated-as),
  which has so far defaulted to not generating the GOTPCRELX
  relocations.

Nick Desaulniers reports [1,2]:

  "A recent change [3] to a default value of configuration variable
   (ENABLE_X86_RELAX_RELOCATIONS OFF -&gt; ON) in LLVM now causes Clang's
   integrated assembler to emit R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX/R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX
   relocations. LLD will relax instructions with these relocations based
   on whether the image is being linked as position independent or not.
   When not, then LLD will relax these instructions to use absolute
   addressing mode (R_RELAX_GOT_PC_NOPIC). This causes kernels built with
   Clang and linked with LLD to fail to boot."

Patch series [4] is a solution to allow the compressed kernel to be
linked with -pie unconditionally, but even if merged is unlikely to be
backported. As a simple solution that can be applied to stable as well,
prevent the assembler from generating the relaxed relocation types using
the -mrelax-relocations=no option. For ease of backporting, do this
unconditionally.

commit f477a538c14d07f8c45e554c8c5208d588514e98 upstream.

When G2_DMA is enabled and SH_DMA is disabled, it results in the following
Kbuild warning:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SH_DMA_API
  Depends on [n]: SH_DMA [=n]
  Selected by [y]:
  - G2_DMA [=y] &amp;&amp; SH_DREAMCAST [=y]

The reason is that G2_DMA selects SH_DMA_API without depending on or
selecting SH_DMA while SH_DMA_API depends on SH_DMA.

When G2_DMA was first introduced with commit 40f49e7ed77f
("sh: dma: Make G2 DMA configurable."), this wasn't an issue since
SH_DMA_API didn't have such dependency, and this way was the only way to
enable it since SH_DMA_API was non-visible. However, later SH_DMA_API was
made visible and dependent on SH_DMA with commit d8902adcc1a9
("dmaengine: sh: Add Support SuperH DMA Engine driver").

Let G2_DMA depend on SH_DMA_API instead to avoid Kbuild issues.

[ Upstream commit bac717171971176b78c72d15a8b6961764ab197f ]

dtc points out that the interrupts for some devices are not parsable:

picoxcell-pc3x2.dtsi:45.19-49.5: Warning (interrupts_property): /paxi/gem@30000: Missing interrupt-parent

There are two VIC instances, so it's not clear which one needs to be
used. I found the BSP sources that reference VIC0, so use that:

[ Upstream commit 0cfccb3c04934cdef42ae26042139f16e805b5f7 ]

The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony
targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create
files there.

If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot
image will not be created.

You can confirm it by the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all   # vmlinux will be built
  $ touch uImage.gz
  $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created

Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

[ Upstream commit d85be8a49e733dcd23674aa6202870d54bf5600d ]

The placeholder for instruction selection should use the second
argument's operand, which is %1, not %0. This could generate incorrect
assembly code if the memory addressing of operand %0 is a different
form from that of operand %1.

Also remove the %Un placeholder because having %Un placeholders
for two operands which are based on the same local var (ptep) doesn't
make much sense. By the way, it doesn't change the current behaviour
because "&lt;&gt;" constraint is missing for the associated "=m".

<title>x86/mtrr: Correct the range check before performing MTRR type lookups</title>

commit cb7f4a8b1fb426a175d1708f05581939c61329d4 upstream.

In mtrr_type_lookup(), if the input memory address region is not in the
MTRR, over 4GB, and not over the top of memory, a write-back attribute
is returned. These condition checks are for ensuring the input memory
address region is actually mapped to the physical memory.

However, if the end address is just aligned with the top of memory,
the condition check treats the address is over the top of memory, and
write-back attribute is not returned.

And this hits in a real use case with NVDIMM: the nd_pmem module tries
to map NVDIMMs as cacheable memories when NVDIMMs are connected. If a
NVDIMM is the last of the DIMMs, the performance of this NVDIMM becomes
very low since it is aligned with the top of memory and its memory type
is uncached-minus.

Move the input end address change to inclusive up into
mtrr_type_lookup(), before checking for the top of memory in either
mtrr_type_lookup_{variable,fixed}() helpers.

commit d1c5246e08eb64991001d97a3bd119c93edbc79a upstream.

Commit

  28ee90fe6048 ("x86/mm: implement free pmd/pte page interfaces")

introduced a new location where a pmd was released, but neglected to
run the pmd page destructor. In fact, this happened previously for a
different pmd release path and was fixed by commit:

  c283610e44ec ("x86, mm: do not leak page-&gt;ptl for pmd page tables").

This issue was hidden until recently because the failure mode is silent,
but commit:

  b2b29d6d0119 ("mm: account PMD tables like PTE tables")

turns the failure mode into this signature:

Given this is a repeat occurrence it seemed prudent to look for other
places where this destructor might be missing and whether a better
helper is needed. try_to_free_pmd_page() looks like a candidate, but
testing with setting up and tearing down pmd mappings via the dax unit
tests is thus far not triggering the failure.

As for a better helper pmd_free() is close, but it is a messy fit
due to requiring an @mm arg. Also, ___pmd_free_tlb() wants to call
paravirt_tlb_remove_table() instead of free_page(), so open-coded
pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() seems the best way forward for now.
