commit 0b46b8a718c6e90910a1b1b0fe797be3c167e186 upstream.

This is a bug fix for using physical arch timers when
the arch_timer_use_virtual boolean is false.  It restores the
arch_counter_get_cntpct() function after removal in

0d651e4e "clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters"

We need this on certain ARMv7 systems which are architected like this:

* The firmware doesn't know and doesn't care about hypervisor mode and
  we don't want to add the complexity of hypervisor there.

* The firmware isn't involved in SMP bringup or resume.

* The ARCH timer come up with an uninitialized offset between the
  virtual and physical counters.  Each core gets a different random
  offset.

* The device boots in "Secure SVC" mode.

* Nothing has touched the reset value of CNTHCTL.PL1PCEN or
  CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN (both default to 1 at reset)

One example of such as system is RK3288 where it is much simpler to
use the physical counter since there's nobody managing the offset and
each time a core goes down and comes back up it will get reinitialized
to some other random value.

<title>ARM: 8226/1: cacheflush: get rid of restarting block</title>

We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined
signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned
and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are
a few problems with that:
 * looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush
 * but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the
   process has to use the same range again
 * ...and again, what might lead to looping forever

So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing
as early as fatal signal is pending.

<id>38f791a4e499792eeb2a3c0572dd5133511c5bbb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the necessary support for all host kernel PGSIZE and
VA_SPACE configuration options for both EL2 and the Stage-2 page tables.

However, for 40bit and 42bit PARange systems, the architecture mandates
that VTCR_EL2.SL0 is maximum 1, resulting in fewer levels of stage-2
pagge tables than levels of host kernel page tables.  At the same time,
systems with a PARange &gt; 42bit, we limit the IPA range by always setting
VTCR_EL2.T0SZ to 24.

To solve the situation with different levels of page tables for Stage-2
translation than the host kernel page tables, we allocate a dummy PGD
with pointers to our actual inital level Stage-2 page table, in order
for us to reuse the kernel pgtable manipulation primitives.  Reproducing
all these in KVM does not look pretty and unnecessarily complicates the
32-bit side.

Systems with a PARange &lt; 40bits are not yet supported.

 [ I have reworked this patch from its original form submitted by
   Jungseok to take the architecture constraints into consideration.
   There were too many changes from the original patch for me to
   preserve the authorship.  Thanks to Catalin Marinas for his help in
   figuring out a good solution to this challenge.  I have also fixed
   various bugs and missing error code handling from the original
   patch. - Christoffer ]

Now that we support read-only memslots, we need to make sure that
pass-through device mappings are not mapped writable if the guest
has requested them to be read-only. The existing implementation
already honours this by calling kvm_set_s2pte_writable() on the new
pte in case of writable mappings, so all we need to do is define
the default pgprot_t value used for devices to be PTE_S2_RDONLY.

Add support for read-only MMIO passthrough mappings by adding a
'writable' parameter to kvm_phys_addr_ioremap. For the moment,
mappings will be read-write even if 'writable' is false, but once
the definition of PAGE_S2_DEVICE gets changed, those mappings will
be created read-only.

Merge patch-bomb from Andrew Morton:
 - part of OCFS2 (review is laggy again)
 - procfs
 - slab
 - all of MM
 - zram, zbud
 - various other random things: arch, filesystems.

* emailed patches from Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@linux-foundation.org&gt;: (164 commits)
  nosave: consolidate __nosave_{begin,end} in &lt;asm/sections.h&gt;
  include/linux/screen_info.h: remove unused ORIG_* macros
  kernel/sys.c: compat sysinfo syscall: fix undefined behavior
  kernel/sys.c: whitespace fixes
  acct: eliminate compile warning
  kernel/async.c: switch to pr_foo()
  include/linux/blkdev.h: use NULL instead of zero
  include/linux/kernel.h: deduplicate code implementing clamp* macros
  include/linux/kernel.h: rewrite min3, max3 and clamp using min and max
  alpha: use Kbuild logic to include &lt;asm-generic/sections.h&gt;
  frv: remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED
  frv: remove unused cpuinfo_frv and friends to fix future build error
  zbud: avoid accessing last unused freelist
  zsmalloc: simplify init_zspage free obj linking
  mm/zsmalloc.c: correct comment for fullness group computation
  zram: use notify_free to account all free notifications
  zram: report maximum used memory
  zram: zram memory size limitation
  zsmalloc: change return value unit of zs_get_total_size_bytes
  zsmalloc: move pages_allocated to zs_pool

Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM.  We also need to force THP splits to
broadcast an IPI s.t.  we block in the fast_gup page walker.  As THP
splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable
performance degradation.

Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.
