commit 5f40b909728ad784eb43aa309d3c4e9bdf050781 upstream.

When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page
tables via the secondary_data struct:

	(1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping
	    of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm).

	(2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF
	    section.

The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which
includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to
swapper as soon as it enters C code:

	struct mm_struct *mm = &amp;init_mm;
	unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id();

	/*
	 * All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a
	 * reference and switch to it.
	 */
	atomic_inc(&amp;mm-&gt;mm_count);
	current-&gt;active_mm = mm;
	cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm));
	cpu_switch_mm(mm-&gt;pgd, mm);

This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as
strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of
exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc.

This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we
switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

commit 2b2040af0b64cd93e5d4df2494c4486cf604090d upstream.

get_user may fail to load from the provided __user address due to an
unhandled fault generated by the access.

In the case of the undefined instruction trap, this results in failure
to load the faulting instruction, in which case we should send SIGILL to
the task rather than continue with potentially uninitialised data.

<title>ARM: 7496/1: hw_breakpoint: don't rely on dfsr to show watchpoint access type</title>

commit bf8801145c01ab600f8df66e8c879ac642fa5846 upstream.

From ARM debug architecture v7.1 onwards, a watchpoint exception causes
the DFAR to be updated with the faulting data address. However, DFSR.WnR
takes an UNKNOWN value and therefore cannot be used in general to
determine the access type that triggered the watchpoint.

This patch forbids watchpoints without an overflow handler from
specifying a specific access type (load/store). Those with overflow
handlers must be able to handle false positives potentially triggered by
a watchpoint of a different access type on the same address. For
SIGTRAP-based handlers (i.e. ptrace), this should have no impact.

commit 15ac49b65024f55c4371a53214879a9c77c4fbf9 upstream.

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling.  This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.

The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs-&gt;ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed.  However, if the exception is
not handled, regs-&gt;ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.

This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes.  This is not true of
Thumb2 though.

Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment.  Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.

<title>ARM: 7480/1: only call smp_send_stop() on SMP</title>

commit c5dff4ffd327088d85035bec535b7d0c9ea03151 upstream.

On reboot or poweroff (machine_shutdown()) a call to smp_send_stop() is
made (to stop the others CPU's) when CONFIG_SMP=y.

arch/arm/kernel/process.c:

void machine_shutdown(void)
{
 #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
       smp_send_stop();
 #endif
}

smp_send_stop() calls the function pointer smp_cross_call(), which is set
on the smp_init_cpus() function for OMAP processors.

arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-smp.c:

void __init smp_init_cpus(void)
{
...
	set_smp_cross_call(gic_raise_softirq);
...
}

But the ARM setup_arch() function only calls smp_init_cpus()
if CONFIG_SMP=y &amp;&amp; is_smp().

arm/kernel/setup.c:

void __init setup_arch(char **cmdline_p)
{
...
 #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
	if (is_smp())
		smp_init_cpus();
 #endif
...
}

Newer OMAP CPU's are SMP machines so omap2plus_defconfig sets
CONFIG_SMP=y. Unfortunately on an OMAP UP machine is_smp()
returns false and smp_init_cpus() is never called and the
smp_cross_call() function remains NULL.

If the machine is rebooted or powered off, smp_send_stop() will
be called (since CONFIG_SMP=y) leading to the following error:

Add a check so smp_cross_call() is only called when there is more than one CPU on-line.

<title>ARM: 7466/1: disable interrupt before spinning endlessly</title>

commit 98bd8b96b26db3399a48202318dca4aaa2515355 upstream.

The CPU will endlessly spin at the end of machine_halt and
machine_restart calls.  However, this will lead to a soft lockup
warning after about 20 seconds, if CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled,
as system timer is still alive.

Disable interrupt before going to spin endlessly, so that the lockup
warning will never be seen.

<title>ARM: 7409/1: Do not call flush_cache_user_range with mmap_sem held</title>

commit 435a7ef52db7d86e67a009b36cac1457f8972391 upstream.

We can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling flush_cache_user_range
because the flush can fault. If we fault on a user address, the
page fault handler will try to take mmap_sem again. Since both places
acquire the read lock, most of the time it succeeds. However, if another
thread tries to acquire the write lock on the mmap_sem (e.g. mmap) in
between the call to flush_cache_user_range and the fault, the down_read
in do_page_fault will deadlock.

[will: removed drop of vma parameter as already queued by rmk (7365/1)]

commit 4542b6a0fa6b48d9ae6b41c1efeb618b7a221b2a upstream.

vma isn't used and flush_cache_user_range isn't a standard macro that
is used on several archs with the same prototype. In fact only unicore32
has a macro with the same name (with an identical implementation and no
in-tree users).

This is a part of a patch proposed by Dima Zavin (with Message-id:
1272439931-12795-1-git-send-email-dima@android.com) that didn't get
accepted.

<title>ARM: 7414/1: SMP: prevent use of the console when using idmap_pgd</title>

Commit 4e8ee7de227e3ab9a72040b448ad728c5428a042 (ARM: SMP: use
idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting)
switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized
during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during
__cpu_up.  This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings
but be missing all dynamic mappings.

If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the
printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on
the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been
initialized, leading to a hang.  Initial boot is not affected
because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually
not affected because the offending console is suspended.
Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem.

A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until
after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.
