commit 091bb549f7722723b284f63ac665e2aedcf9dec9 upstream.

This option is not supported by lld:

    ld.lld: error: unknown argument: -p

This has been a no-op in binutils since 2004 (see commit dea514f51da1 in
that tree). Given that the lowest officially supported of binutils for
the kernel is 2.20, which was released in 2009, nobody needs this flag
around so just remove it. Commit 1a381d4a0a9a ("arm64: remove no-op -p
linker flag") did the same for arm64.

commit eaf6cc7165c9c5aa3c2f9faa03a98598123d0afb upstream.

Both the decompressor code and the kasan logic try to override
the memcpy() and memmove()  definitions, which leading to a clash
in a KASAN-enabled kernel with XZ decompression:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.c:50:9: error: 'memmove' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
 #define memmove memmove
        ^
arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:59:9: note: previous definition is here
 #define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len)
        ^

arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:58:9: note: previous definition is here
 #define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len)
        ^

Here we want the set of functions from the decompressor, so undefine
the other macros before the override.

<title>ARM: 9105/1: atags_to_fdt: don't warn about stack size</title>

commit b30d0289de72c62516df03fdad8d53f552c69839 upstream.

The merge_fdt_bootargs() function by definition consumes more than 1024
bytes of stack because it has a 1024 byte command line on the stack,
meaning that we always get a warning when building this file:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c: In function 'merge_fdt_bootargs':
arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c:98:1: warning: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

However, as this is the decompressor and we know that it has a very shallow
call chain, and we do not actually risk overflowing the kernel stack
at runtime here.

This just shuts up the warning by disabling the warning flag for this
file.

Tested on Nexus 7 2012 builds.

[ Upstream commit 2acb909750431030b65a0a2a17fd8afcbd813a84 ]

It was observed that decompressor running on hardware implementing ARM v8.2
Load/Store Multiple Atomicity and Ordering Control (LSMAOC), say, as guest,
would stuck just after:

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

The reason is that it clears nTLSMD bit when disabling caches:

  nTLSMD, bit [3]

  When ARMv8.2-LSMAOC is implemented:

    No Trap Load Multiple and Store Multiple to
    Device-nGRE/Device-nGnRE/Device-nGnRnE memory.

    0b0 All memory accesses by A32 and T32 Load Multiple and Store
        Multiple at EL1 or EL0 that are marked at stage 1 as
        Device-nGRE/Device-nGnRE/Device-nGnRnE memory are trapped and
        generate a stage 1 Alignment fault.

    0b1 All memory accesses by A32 and T32 Load Multiple and Store
        Multiple at EL1 or EL0 that are marked at stage 1 as
        Device-nGRE/Device-nGnRE/Device-nGnRnE memory are not trapped.

  This bit is permitted to be cached in a TLB.

  This field resets to 1.

  Otherwise:

  Reserved, RES1

So as effect we start getting traps we are not quite ready for.

Looking into history it seems that mask used for SCTLR clear came from
the similar code for ARMv4, where bit[3] is the enable/disable bit for
the write buffer. That not applicable to ARMv7 and onwards, so retire
that bit from the masks.

[ Upstream commit a8de1304b7df30e3a14f2a8b9709bb4ff31a0385 ]

The DTC v1.5.1 added references to (U)INT32_MAX.

This is no problem for user-space programs since &lt;stdint.h&gt; defines
(U)INT32_MAX along with (u)int32_t.

For the kernel space, libfdt_env.h needs to be adjusted before we
pull in the changes.

In the kernel, we usually use s/u32 instead of (u)int32_t for the
fixed-width types.

Accordingly, we already have S/U32_MAX for their max values.
So, we should not add (U)INT32_MAX to &lt;linux/limits.h&gt; any more.

Instead, add them to the in-kernel libfdt_env.h to compile the
latest libfdt.

[ Upstream commit 60ce2858514ed9ccaf00dc7e9f4dc219537e9855 ]

Commit 06a4b6d009a1 ("ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor
header layout for v7-M") fixed an issue in the layout of the header
of the compressed kernel image that was caused by the assembler
emitting narrow opcodes for 'mov r0, r0', and for this reason, the
mnemonic was updated to use the W() macro, which will append the .w
suffix (which forces a wide encoding) if required, i.e., when building
the kernel in Thumb2 mode.

However, this failed to take into account that on Thumb2 kernels built
for CPUs that are also ARM capable, the entry point is entered in ARM
mode, and so the instructions emitted here will be ARM instructions
that only exist in a wide encoding to begin with, which is why the
assembler rejects the .w suffix here and aborts the build with the
following message:

  head.S: Assembler messages:
  head.S:132: Error: width suffixes are invalid in ARM mode -- `mov.w r0,r0'

So replace the W(mov) with separate ARM and Thumb2 instructions, where
the latter will only be used for THUMB2_ONLY builds.

the kernel in Thumb2 mode.

However, this failed to take into account that on Thumb2 kernels built
for CPUs that are also ARM capable, the entry point is entered in ARM
mode, and so the instructions emitted here will be ARM instructions
that only exist in a wide encoding to begin with, which is why the
assembler rejects the .w suffix here and aborts the build with the
following message:

  head.S: Assembler messages:
  head.S:132: Error: width suffixes are invalid in ARM mode -- `mov.w r0,r0'

So replace the W(mov) with separate ARM and Thumb2 instructions, where
the latter will only be used for THUMB2_ONLY builds.

commit e17b1af96b2afc38e684aa2f1033387e2ed10029 upstream.

The EFI stub is entered with the caches and MMU enabled by the
firmware, and once the stub is ready to hand over to the decompressor,
we clean and disable the caches.

The cache clean routines use CP15 barrier instructions, which can be
disabled via SCTLR. Normally, when using the provided cache handling
routines to enable the caches and MMU, this bit is enabled as well.
However, but since we entered the stub with the caches already enabled,
this routine is not executed before we call the cache clean routines,
resulting in undefined instruction exceptions if the firmware never
enabled this bit.

So set the bit explicitly in the EFI entry code, but do so in a way that
guarantees that the resulting code can still run on v6 cores as well
(which are guaranteed to have CP15 barriers enabled)

(commit c1c386681bd73c4fc28eb5cc91cf8b7be9b409ba upstream)

Use cc-options call for compiler options which are not available
in clang. With this patch an ARMv7 multi platform kernel can be
successfully build using clang (tested with version 5.0.1).

<title>ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor header layout for v7-M</title>

[ Upstream commit 06a4b6d009a1b74a6ec46c5418b46cc53a79fcb8 ]

As reported by Patrice, the header layout of the decompressor is
incorrect when building for v7-M. In this case, the __nop macro
resolves to 'mov r0, r0', which is emitted as a narrow encoding,
resulting in the header data fields to end up at lower offsets than
required.

Given the variety of targets we need to support with the same code,
the startup sequence is a bit of a jumble, and uses instructions
and macros whose encoding widths cannot be specified (badr), or only
exist in a narrow encoding (bx)

So force the use of a wide encoding in __nop, and replace the start
sequence with a simple jump to the label marking the start of code,
preceded by a Thumb2 mode switch if required (using explicit wide
encodings where appropriate). The label itself can be moved to the
start of code [where it belongs] due to the larger range of branch
instructions as compared to adr instructions.
