ARM: 8637/1: Adjust memory boundaries after reservations

2017-06-14T13:06:05+00:00

commit 985626564eedc470ce2866e53938303368ad41b7 upstream.

adjust_lowmem_bounds is responsible for setting up the boundary for
lowmem/highmem. This needs to be setup before memblock reservations can
occur. At the time memblock reservations can occur, memory can also be
removed from the system. The lowmem/highmem boundary and end of memory
may be affected by this but it is currently not recalculated. On some
systems this may be harmless, on others this may result in incorrect
ranges being passed to the main memory allocator. Correct this by
recalculating the lowmem/highmem boundary after all reservations have
been made.

ARM: 8636/1: Cleanup sanity_check_meminfo

2017-06-14T13:06:05+00:00

commit 374d446d25d6271ee615952a3b7f123ba4983c35 upstream.

The logic for sanity_check_meminfo has become difficult to
follow. Clean up the code so it's more obvious what the code
is actually trying to do. Additionally, meminfo is now removed
so rename the function to better describe its purpose.

ARM: 8662/1: module: split core and init PLT sections

2017-05-25T13:44:44+00:00

commit b7ede5a1f5905ac394cc8e61712a13e3c5cb7b8f upstream.

Since commit 35fa91eed817 ("ARM: kernel: merge core and init PLTs"),
the ARM module PLT code allocates all PLT entries in a single core
section, since the overhead of having a separate init PLT section is
not justified by the small number of PLT entries usually required for
init code.

However, the core and init module regions are allocated independently,
and there is a corner case where the core region may be allocated from
the VMALLOC region if the dedicated module region is exhausted, but the
init region, being much smaller, can still be allocated from the module
region. This puts the PLT entries out of reach of the relocated branch
instructions, defeating the whole purpose of PLTs.

So split the core and init PLT regions, and name the latter ".init.plt"
so it gets allocated along with (and sufficiently close to) the .init
sections that it serves. Also, given that init PLT entries may need to
be emitted for branches that target the core module, modify the logic
that disregards defined symbols to only disregard symbols that are
defined in the same section.

arm: kernel: Add SMC structure parameter

2017-04-12T10:41:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 680a0873e193bae666439f4b5e32c758e68f114c ]

This patch adds a quirk parameter to the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) calls.
The quirk structure allows for specialized SMC operations due to SoC
specific requirements.  The current arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) is renamed and
macros are used instead to specify the standard arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) or
the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc)_quirk function.

This patch and partial implementation was suggested by Will Deacon.

ARM: 8643/3: arm/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

ARM: 8613/1: Fix the uaccess crash on PB11MPCore

2017-01-26T07:24:43+00:00

commit 90f92c631b210c1e97080b53a9d863783281a932 upstream.

The following patch was sketched by Russell in response to my
crashes on the PB11MPCore after the patch for software-based
priviledged no access support for ARMv8.1. See this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=144051749807214&w=2

I am unsure what is going on, I suspect everyone involved in
the discussion is. I just want to repost this to get the
discussion restarted, as I still have to apply this patch
with every kernel iteration to get my PB11MPCore Realview
running.

Testing by Neil Armstrong on the Oxnas NAS has revealed that
this bug exist also on that widely deployed hardware, so
we are probably currently regressing all ARM11MPCore systems.

ARM: 8634/1: hw_breakpoint: blacklist Scorpion CPUs

2017-01-26T07:24:40+00:00

commit ddc37832a1349f474c4532de381498020ed71d31 upstream.

On APQ8060, the kernel crashes in arch_hw_breakpoint_init, taking an
undefined instruction trap within write_wb_reg. This is because Scorpion
CPUs erroneously appear to set DBGPRSR.SPD when WFI is issued, even if
the core is not powered down. When DBGPRSR.SPD is set, breakpoint and
watchpoint registers are treated as undefined.

It's possible to trigger similar crashes later on from userspace, by
requesting the kernel to install a breakpoint or watchpoint, as we can
go idle at any point between the reset of the debug registers and their
later use. This has always been the case.

Given that this has always been broken, no-one has complained until now,
and there is no clear workaround, disable hardware breakpoints and
watchpoints on Scorpion to avoid these issues.

Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"

2016-11-23T10:00:03+00:00

This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121.

Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.

While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
change:

- We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
  else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
  become more fragile:
  * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
    asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
    the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
  * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
    with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
    the file.

- We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
  they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
  exports.

As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:
 (original commit)
 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
 (fix for ksyms trimming)
 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
 (two fixes for modversions)
 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.

As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
revert the change.

ARM: Fix XIP kernels

2016-11-16T23:51:19+00:00

Commit 7619751f8c90 ("ARM: 8595/2: apply more __ro_after_init") caused
a regression with XIP kernels by moving the __ro_after_init data into
the read-only section.  With XIP kernels, the read-only section is
located in read-only memory from the very beginning.

Work around this by moving the __ro_after_init data back into the .data
section, which will be in RAM, and hence will be writable.

It should be noted that in doing so, this remains writable after init.

ARM: fix backtrace

2016-11-15T15:25:39+00:00

Recent kernels have changed their behaviour to be more inconsistent
when handling printk continuations.  With todays kernels, the output
looks sane on the console, but dmesg splits individual printk()s which
do not have the KERN_CONT prefix into separate lines.

Since the assembly code is not trivial to add the KERN_CONT, and we
ideally want to avoid using KERN_CONT (as multiple printk()s can race
between different threads), convert the assembly dumping the register
values to C code, and have the C code build the output a line at a
time before dumping to the console.

This avoids the KERN_CONT issue, and also avoids situations where the
output is intermixed with other console activity.
