commit 834b2964b7ab047610da038e42d61dc8dac6339a upstream.

DBG_MAX_REG_NUM incorrectly had the number of indices in the GDB regs
array rather than the number of registers, leading to an oops when the
"rd" command is used in KDB.

<title>ARM: 6412/1: kprobes-decode: add support for MOVW instruction</title>

<id>ccdf2e1bca8a45eaf89eb142dbed3551886413fe</id>
<content type='text'>
The MOVW instruction moves a 16-bit immediate into the bottom halfword
of the destination register.

This patch ensures that kprobes leaves the 16-bit immediate intact, rather
than assume a 12-bit immediate and mask out the upper 4 bits.

<title>arm: fix really nasty sigreturn bug</title>

<id>653d48b22166db2d8b1515ebe6f9f0f7c95dfc86</id>
<content type='text'>
If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered
when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for
the first one and got sent to us while we'd been in the first handler),
we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one
insn prior to where we ought to return.  If r0 happens to contain -513
(-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart
syscall song and dance.

Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and
very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland
code...

The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper,
i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers,
suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys.
They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway.

Testcase:
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
	#include &lt;errno.h&gt;

	void f(int n)
	{
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"ldr r0, [%0]\n"
			"b 1f\n"
			"b 2f\n"
			"1:b .\n"
			"2:\n" : : "r"(&amp;n));
	}

	void handler1(int sig) { }
	void handler2(int sig) { raise(1); }
	void handler3(int sig) { exit(0); }

	main()
	{
		struct sigaction s = {.sa_handler = handler2};
		struct itimerval t1 = { .it_value = {1} };
		struct itimerval t2 = { .it_value = {2} };

		signal(1, handler1);

		sigemptyset(&amp;s.sa_mask);
		sigaddset(&amp;s.sa_mask, 1);
		sigaction(SIGALRM, &amp;s, NULL);

		signal(SIGVTALRM, handler3);

		setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &amp;t1, NULL);
		setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &amp;t2, NULL);

		f(-513); /* -ERESTARTNOINTR */

		write(1, "buggered\n", 9);
		return 1;
	}

Al Viro reports that calling "sys_sigsuspend(-ERESTARTNOHAND, 0, 0)"
with two signals coming and being handled in kernel space results
in the syscall restart being done twice.

Avoid this by clearing the 'why' flag when we call the signal handling
code to prevent further syscall restarts after the first.

<title>ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validation</title>

<content type='text'>
The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the
following problems:

1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost.
2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or
    breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation,
    causing the group to fail.

This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the
PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

<title>ARM: 6343/1: wire up fanotify and prlimit64 syscalls on ARM</title>

<content type='text'>
The 2.6.36-rc kernel added three new system calls:
fanotify_init, fanotify_mark, and prlimit64.  This patch
wires them up on ARM.

The only non-trivial issue here is the u64 argument to
sys_fanotify_mark(), but it is the 3rd argument and thus
passed in r2/r3 in both kernel and user space, so it causes
no problems.

Tested with a 2.6.36-rc2 EABI kernel on an ixp4xx machine.

This is purely a cosmetic change to the ARM perf backend because the current
comments about the relationship between NMIs, interrupt context and
perf_event_do_pending are misleading.

This patch updates the comments so that they reflect what the code
actually does (which is in line with other architectures).
