commit f2fe09b055e2549de41fb107b34c60bac4a1b0cf upstream.

Masked out PMXEVTYPER.NSH means that we can't enable profiling at PL2,
regardless of the settings in the HDCR.

This patch fixes the broken mask.

<title>ARM: 7659/1: mm: make mm-&gt;context.id an atomic64_t variable</title>

commit 8a4e3a9ead7e37ce1505602b564c15da09ac039f upstream.

mm-&gt;context.id is updated under asid_lock when a new ASID is allocated
to an mm_struct. However, it is also read without the lock when a task
is being scheduled and checking whether or not the current ASID
generation is up-to-date.

If two threads of the same process are being scheduled in parallel and
the bottom bits of the generation in their mm-&gt;context.id match the
current generation (that is, the mm_struct has not been used for ~2^24
rollovers) then the non-atomic, lockless access to mm-&gt;context.id may
yield the incorrect ASID.

This patch fixes this issue by making mm-&gt;context.id and atomic64_t,
ensuring that the generation is always read consistently. For code that
only requires access to the ASID bits (e.g. TLB flushing by mm), then
the value is accessed directly, which GCC converts to an ldrb.

commit d61947a164760ac520cb416768afdf38c33d60e7 upstream.

The LPAE page table format uses 64-bit descriptors, so we need to take
endianness into account when populating the swapper and idmap tables
during early initialisation.

This patch ensures that we store the two words making up each page table
entry in the correct order when running big-endian.

<title>ARM: 7653/2: do not scale loops_per_jiffy when using a constant delay clock</title>

commit 70264367a243a68b1d5636ffb570183449803cbe upstream.

When udelay() is implemented using an architected timer, it is wrong
to scale loops_per_jiffy when changing the CPU clock frequency since
the timer clock remains constant.

The lpj should probably become an implementation detail relevant to
the CPU loop based delay routine only and more confined to it. In the
mean time this is the minimal fix needed to have expected delays with
the timer based implementation when cpufreq is also in use.

commit 7c4e9ced424be4d36df6a3e3825763e97ee97607 upstream.

If we want load epoch_cyc and epoch_ns atomically,
we should update epoch_cyc_copy first of all.
This notify reader that updating is in progress.

If we update epoch_cyc first like as current implementation,
there is subtle error case.
Look at the below example.

&lt;Initial Condition&gt;
cyc = 9
ns = 900
cyc_copy = 9

== CASE 1 ==
&lt;CPU A = reader&gt;           &lt;CPU B = updater&gt;
                           write cyc = 10
read cyc = 10
read ns = 900
                           write ns = 1000
                           write cyc_copy = 10
read cyc_copy = 10

output = (10, 900)

== CASE 2 ==
&lt;CPU A = reader&gt;           &lt;CPU B = updater&gt;
read cyc = 9
                           write cyc = 10
                           write ns = 1000
read ns = 1000
read cyc_copy = 9
                           write cyc_copy = 10
output = (9, 1000)

If atomic read is ensured, output should be (9, 900) or (10, 1000).
But, output in example case are not.

So, change updating sequence in order to correct this problem.

With commit a0ae0240 (ARM: kernel: add device tree init map function),
the cpu id value may include the cluster id and is no longer 0-3, so we
need to mask it in scu_power_mode to get the local cpu number. Since we
are only dealing with the cpu we are running on, the cluster id should
not ever be needed.
