ARM: 8616/1: dt: Respect property size when parsing CPUs

2016-09-29T15:57:43+00:00

Whilst MPIDR values themselves are less than 32 bits, it is still
perfectly valid for a DT to have #address-cells > 1 in the CPUs node,
resulting in the "reg" property having leading zero cell(s). In that
situation, the big-endian nature of the data conspires with the current
behaviour of only reading the first cell to cause the kernel to think
all CPUs have ID 0, and become resoundingly unhappy as a consequence.

Take the full property length into account when parsing CPUs so as to
be correct under any circumstances.

ARM: 8600/1: Enforce some NS-SVC initialisation

2016-08-23T09:08:33+00:00

Since the non-secure copies of banked registers lack architecturally
defined reset values, there is no actual guarantee when entering in Hyp
from secure-only firmware that the Non-Secure PL1 state will look the
way that kernel entry (in particular the decompressor stub) expects.
So far, we've been getting away with it thanks to implementation details
of ARMv7 cores and/or bootloader behaviour, but for the sake of forwards
compatibility let's try to ensure that we have a minimally sane state
before dropping down into it.

Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm

2016-08-18T18:13:20+00:00

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Only three fixes this time:

   - Emil found an overflow problem with the memory layout sanity check.

   - Ard Biesheuvel noticed that late-allocated page tables (for EFI)
     weren't being properly constructed.

   - Guenter Roeck reported a problem found on qemu caused by the recent
     addr_limit changes"

* 'fixes' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
  ARM: fix address limit restoration for undefined instructions
  ARM: 8591/1: mm: use fully constructed struct pages for EFI pgd allocations
  ARM: 8590/1: sanity_check_meminfo(): avoid overflow on vmalloc_limit

arm: oabi compat: add missing access checks

2016-08-10T19:57:45+00:00

Add access checks to sys_oabi_epoll_wait() and sys_oabi_semtimedop().
This fixes CVE-2016-3857, a local privilege escalation under
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT.

ARM: fix address limit restoration for undefined instructions

2016-08-09T21:57:59+00:00

During boot, sometimes the kernel will test to see if an instruction
causes an undefined instruction exception.  Unfortunately, the exit
path for these exceptions did not restore the address limit, which
causes the rootfs mount code to fail.  Fix the missing address limit
restoration.

arm: jump label may reference text in __exit

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The jump table can reference text found in an __exit section.  Thus,
instead of discarding it at build time, include EXIT_TEXT as part of
__init and it will be released when the system boots.

ARM: kexec: fix kexec for Keystone 2

2016-08-02T23:35:29+00:00

Provide kexec with the boot view of memory by overriding the normal
kexec translation functions added in a previous patch.  We also need to
fix a call to memblock in machine_kexec_prepare() so that we provide it
with a running-view physical address rather than a boot- view physical
address.

ARM: kexec: advertise location of bootable RAM

2016-08-02T23:35:25+00:00

Advertise the location of bootable RAM to kexec-tools.  kexec needs to
know where it can place the kernel in RAM, and so be executable when the
system needs to jump into it.

Advertise these areas in /proc/iomem with a "System RAM (boot alias)"
tag.
