[ Upstream commit 143c2a89e0e5fda6c6fd08d7bc1126438c19ae90 ]

When running kprobe on -rt kernel, the below bug is caught:

|BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:931
|in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 14, name: migration/0
|Preemption disabled at:[&lt;802f2b98&gt;] cpu_stopper_thread+0xc0/0x140
|CPU: 0 PID: 14 Comm: migration/0 Tainted: G O 4.8.3-rt2 #1
|Hardware name: Freescale LS1021A
|[&lt;8025a43c&gt;] (___might_sleep)
|[&lt;80b5b324&gt;] (rt_spin_lock)

|[&lt;80b5c3ac&gt;] (patch_text_stop_machine)
|[&lt;802f2920&gt;] (multi_cpu_stop)

Since patch_text_stop_machine() is called in stop_machine() which
disables IRQ, sleepable lock should be not used in this atomic context,
 so replace patch_lock to raw lock.

<title>ARM: avoid Cortex-A9 livelock on tight dmb loops</title>

[ Upstream commit 5388a5b82199facacd3d7ac0d05aca6e8f902fed ]

machine_crash_nonpanic_core() does this:

	while (1)
		cpu_relax();

because the kernel has crashed, and we have no known safe way to deal
with the CPU.  So, we place the CPU into an infinite loop which we
expect it to never exit - at least not until the system as a whole is
reset by some method.

In the absence of erratum 754327, this code assembles to:

	b	.

In other words, an infinite loop.  When erratum 754327 is enabled,
this becomes:

1:	dmb
	b	1b

It has been observed that on some systems (eg, OMAP4) where, if a
crash is triggered, the system tries to kexec into the panic kernel,
but fails after taking the secondary CPU down - placing it into one
of these loops.  This causes the system to livelock, and the most
noticable effect is the system stops after issuing:

	Loading crashdump kernel...

to the system console.

The tested as working solution I came up with was to add wfe() to
these infinite loops thusly:

	while (1) {
		cpu_relax();
		wfe();
	}

which, without 754327 builds to:

1:	wfe
	b	1b

or with 754327 is enabled:

1:	dmb
	wfe
	b	1b

Adding "wfe" does two things depending on the environment we're running
under:
- where we're running on bare metal, and the processor implements
  "wfe", it stops us spinning endlessly in a loop where we're never
  going to do any useful work.
- if we're running in a VM, it allows the CPU to be given back to the
  hypervisor and rescheduled for other purposes (maybe a different VM)
  rather than wasting CPU cycles inside a crashed VM.

However, in light of erratum 794072, Will Deacon wanted to see 10 nops
as well - which is reasonable to cover the case where we have erratum
754327 enabled _and_ we have a processor that doesn't implement the
wfe hint.

So, we now end up with:

1:      wfe
        b       1b

when erratum 754327 is disabled, or:

1:      dmb
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        nop
        wfe
        b       1b

when erratum 754327 is enabled.  We also get the dmb + 10 nop
sequence elsewhere in the kernel, in terminating loops.

This is reasonable - it means we get the workaround for erratum
794072 when erratum 754327 is enabled, but still relinquish the dead
processor - either by placing it in a lower power mode when wfe is
implemented as such or by returning it to the hypervisior, or in the
case where wfe is a no-op, we use the workaround specified in erratum
794072 to avoid the problem.

These as two entirely orthogonal problems - the 10 nops addresses
erratum 794072, and the wfe is an optimisation that makes the system
more efficient when crashed either in terms of power consumption or
by allowing the host/other VMs to make use of the CPU.

I don't see any reason not to use kexec() inside a VM - it has the
potential to provide automated recovery from a failure of the VMs
kernel with the opportunity for saving a crashdump of the failure.
A panic() with a reboot timeout won't do that, and reading the
libvirt documentation, setting on_reboot to "preserve" won't either
(the documentation states "The preserve action for an on_reboot event
is treated as a destroy".)  Surely it has to be a good thing to
avoiding having CPUs spinning inside a VM that is doing no useful
work.

Mostly unwind is done with irqs enabled however SLUB may call it with
irqs disabled while creating a new SLUB cache.

I had system freeze while loading a module which called
kmem_cache_create() on init. That means SLUB's __slab_alloc() disabled
interrupts and then

[ Upstream commit 1b5ba350784242eb1f899bcffd95d2c7cff61e84 ]

Arm TC2 fails cpu hotplug stress test.

This issue was tracked down to a missing copy of the new affinity
cpumask for the vexpress-spc interrupt into struct
irq_common_data.affinity when the interrupt is migrated in
migrate_one_irq().

Fix it by replacing the arm specific hotplug cpu migration with the
generic irq code.

This is the counterpart implementation to commit 217d453d473c ("arm64:
fix a migrating irq bug when hotplug cpu").

Tested with cpu hotplug stress test on Arm TC2 (multi_v7_defconfig plus
CONFIG_ARM_BIG_LITTLE_CPUFREQ=y and CONFIG_ARM_VEXPRESS_SPC_CPUFREQ=y).
The vexpress-spc interrupt (irq=22) on this board is affine to CPU0.
Its affinity cpumask now changes correctly e.g. from 0 to 1-4 when
CPU0 is hotplugged out.

[ Upstream commit 82c08c3e7f171aa7f579b231d0abbc1d62e91974 ]

In case panic() and panic() called at the same time on different CPUS.
For example:
CPU 0:
  panic()
     __crash_kexec
       machine_crash_shutdown
         crash_smp_send_stop
       machine_kexec
         BUG_ON(num_online_cpus() &gt; 1);

CPU 1:
  panic()
    local_irq_disable
    panic_smp_self_stop

If CPU 1 calls panic_smp_self_stop() before crash_smp_send_stop(), kdump
fails. CPU1 can't receive the ipi irq, CPU1 will be always online.
To fix this problem, this patch split out the panic_smp_self_stop()
and add set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), false).

[ Upstream commit 73b9160d0dfe44dfdaffd6465dc1224c38a4a73c ]

Define vdso_start, vdso_end as array to avoid compile-time analysis error
for the case of built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

and, since vdso_start, vdso_end are used in vdso.c only,
move extern-declaration from vdso.h to vdso.c.

If kernel is built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE,
compile-time error happens at this code.
- if (memcmp(&amp;vdso_start, "177ELF", 4))

The size of "&amp;vdso_start" is recognized as 1 byte, but n is 4,
So that compile-time error is reported.

[ Upstream commit 73b9160d0dfe44dfdaffd6465dc1224c38a4a73c ]

Define vdso_start, vdso_end as array to avoid compile-time analysis error
for the case of built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

and, since vdso_start, vdso_end are used in vdso.c only,
move extern-declaration from vdso.h to vdso.c.

If kernel is built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE,
compile-time error happens at this code.
- if (memcmp(&amp;vdso_start, "177ELF", 4))

The size of "&amp;vdso_start" is recognized as 1 byte, but n is 4,
So that compile-time error is reported.

commit eb0146daefdde65665b7f076fbff7b49dade95b9 upstream.

Prohibit kprobes on do_undefinstr because kprobes on
arm is implemented by undefined instruction. This means
if we probe do_undefinstr(), it can cause infinit
recursive exception.

<title>ARM: 8668/1: ftrace: Fix dynamic ftrace with DEBUG_RODATA and !FRAME_POINTER</title>

[ Upstream commit 6f05d0761af612e04572ba4d65b4c0274a88444f ]

The support for dynamic ftrace with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA involves
overriding the weak arch_ftrace_update_code() with a variant which makes
the kernel text writable around the patching.

This override was however added under the CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT ifdef, and
CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT is only enabled if frame pointers are enabled.

This leads to non-functional dynamic ftrace (ftrace triggers a
WARN_ON()) when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
is not.

Move the override out of that ifdef and into the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
ifdef where it belongs.

<title>ARM: avoid faulting on qemu</title>

commit 3aaf33bebda8d4ffcc0fc8ef39e6c1ac68823b11 upstream.

When qemu starts a kernel in a bare environment, the default SCR has
the AW and FW bits clear, which means that the kernel can't modify
the PSR A or PSR F bits, and means that FIQs and imprecise aborts are
always masked.

When running uboot under qemu, the AW and FW SCR bits are set, and the
kernel functions normally - and this is how real hardware behaves.

Fix this for qemu by ignoring the FIQ bit.

commit 8bafae202c82dc257f649ea3c275a0f35ee15113 upstream.

Detect if we are returning to usermode via the normal kernel exit paths
but the saved PSR value indicates that we are in kernel mode.  This
could occur due to corrupted stack state, which has been observed with
"ftracetest".

This ensures that we catch the problem case before we get to user code.
