<title>ARM: 8319/1: advertise availability of v8 Crypto instructions</title>

<content type='text'>
When running the 32-bit ARM kernel on ARMv8 capable bare metal (e.g.,
32-bit Android userland and kernel on a Cortex-A53), or as a KVM guest
on a 64-bit host, we should advertise the availability of the Crypto
instructions, so that userland libraries such as OpenSSL may use them.
(Support for the v8 Crypto instructions in the 32-bit build was added
to OpenSSL more than six months ago)

This adds the ID feature bit detection, and sets elf_hwcap2 accordingly.

<title>ARM: 8318/1: treat CPU feature register fields as signed quantities</title>

The various CPU feature registers consist of 4-bit blocks that
represent signed quantities, whose positive values represent
incremental features, and whose negative values are reserved.

To improve forward compatibility, update the feature detection
code to take possible future higher values into account, but
ignore negative values.

<title>ARM: 8313/1: Use read_cpuid_ext() macro instead of inline asm</title>

Replace inline asm statement in __get_cpu_architecture() with equivalent
macro invocation, i.e. read_cpuid_ext(CPUID_EXT_MMFR0);

As an added bonus, this squashes a potential bug, described by Paul
Walmsley in commit 067e710b9a98 ("ARM: 7801/1: prevent gcc 4.5 from
reordering extended CP15 reads above is_smp() test").

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Another round of small ARM fixes.

  restore_user_regs early stack deallocation is buggy in the presence of
  FIQs which switch to SVC mode, and could lead to corrupted registers
  being returned to a user process given an inopportune FIQ event.

  Another bug was spotted in the ARM perf code where it could lose track
  of perf counter overflows, leading to incorrect perf results.

  Lastly, a bug in arm_add_memory() was spotted where the memory sizes
  aren't properly rounded.  As most people pass properly rounded sizes,
  this hasn't been noticed"

The current rounding of "size" is wrong:

 - If "start" is sufficiently near the next page boundary, "size"
   is decremented by more than enough and the last page is lost.

 - If "size" is sufficiently small, it is wrapped around and gets
   a bogus value.

Commit 9fc2105aeaaf ("ARM: 7830/1: delay: don't bother reporting
bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo") breaks audio in python, and probably
elsewhere, with message

  FATAL: cannot locate cpu MHz in /proc/cpuinfo

I'm not the first one to hit it, see for example

  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/765800/workaround-for-fatal-cannot-locate-cpu-mhz-in-proc-cpuinf/?offset=1

Reading original changelog, I have to say "Stop breaking working setups.

    This series adds automatic IOMMU and DMA-mapping configuration for
    OF-based DMA masters described using the generic IOMMU devicetree
    bindings. Although there is plenty of future work around splitting up
    iommu_ops, adding default IOMMU domains and sorting out automatic IOMMU
    group creation for the platform_bus, this is already useful enough for
    people to port over their IOMMU drivers and start using the new probing
    infrastructure (indeed, Marek has patches queued for the Exynos IOMMU).

  The branch touches core ARM and IOMMU driver files, and the respective
  maintainers (Russell King and Joerg Roedel) agreed to have the
  contents merged through the arm-soc tree.

  The final version was ready just before the merge window, so we ended
  up delaying it a bit longer than the rest, but we don't expect to see
  regressions because this is just additional infrastructure that will
  get used in drivers starting in 3.20 but is unused so far"
