commit 8fad87bca7ac9737e413ba5f1656f1114a8c314d upstream.

When we configure CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, pfn &lt;&lt; PAGE_SHIFT will
overflow if pfn &gt;= 0x100000 in copy_oldmem_page.
So use __pfn_to_phys for converting.

commit 29c350bf28da333e41e30497b649fe335712a2ab upstream.

The array was missing the final entry for the undefined instruction

commit 1b15ec7a7427d4188ba91b9bbac696250a059d22 upstream.

get_wchan() is lockless. Task may wakeup at any time and change its own stack,
thus each next stack frame may be overwritten and filled with random stuff.

/proc/$pid/stack interface had been disabled for non-current tasks, see [1]
But 'wchan' still allows to trigger stack frame unwinding on volatile stack.

This patch fixes oops in unwind_frame() by adding stack pointer validation on
each step (as x86 code do), unwind_frame() already checks frame pointer.

Also I've found another report of this oops on stackoverflow (irony).

commit c95eb3184ea1a3a2551df57190c81da695e2144b upstream.

It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a
group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group.
This results in the event group being validated by adding all members
of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on
their respective PMU.

Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this
results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the -&gt;get_event_idx
function pointer.

This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events
and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be
scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the
validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with
multiple hardware PMUs anyway.

commit c5f927a6f62196226915f12194c9d0df4e2210d7 upstream.

With this change, we no longer lose the innermost entry in the user-mode
part of the call chain.  See also the x86 port, which includes the ip.

It's possible to partially work around this problem by post-processing
the data to use the PERF_SAMPLE_IP value, but this works only if the CPU
wasn't in the kernel when the sample was taken.

commit 92bdd3f5eba299b33c2f4407977d6fa2e2a6a0da upstream.

The cpu_topology symbol is required by any driver using the topology
interfaces, which leads to a couple of build errors:

ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/cpufreq/arm_big_little.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.ko] undefined!

The obvious solution is to export this symbol.

commit cb2d8b342aa084d1f3ac29966245dec9163677fb upstream.

Events may be created with attr-&gt;disabled == 1 and attr-&gt;enable_on_exec
== 1, which confuses the group validation code because events with the
PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF are not considered candidates for scheduling, which
may lead to failure at group scheduling time.

This patch fixes the validation check for ARM, so that events in the
OFF state are still considered when enable_on_exec is true.
