commit 48ccc8edf5b90622cdc4f8878e0042ab5883e2ca upstream.

In randconfig builds, we sometimes come across this warning:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: XIP start address may cause MPU programming issues

While this is helpful for actual systems to figure out why it
fails, the warning does not provide any benefit for build testing,
so guard it in a check for CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, which is usually
set on randconfig builds.

<title>ARM: 9138/1: fix link warning with XIP + frame-pointer</title>

commit 44cc6412e66b2b84544eaf2e14cf1764301e2a80 upstream.

When frame pointers are used instead of the ARM unwinder,
and the kernel is built using clang with an external assembler
and CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL, every file produces two warnings
like:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.ARM.extab' from `net/mac802154/util.o' being placed in section `.ARM.extab'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.ARM.exidx' from `net/mac802154/util.o' being placed in section `.ARM.exidx'

The same fix was already merged for the normal (non-XIP)

linker script, with a longer description.

commit 6fa630bf473827aee48cbf0efbbdf6f03134e890 upstream

FTRACE_ADDR is only defined when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is defined, the
latter is even stronger requirement than CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER (which is
enough for MCOUNT_ADDR).

Teach ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop() about PLTs.
Teach PLT code about FTRACE and all its callbacks.

<title>sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove

[ Upstream commit f1a0a376ca0c4ef1fc3d24e3e502acbb5b795674 ]

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -&gt; idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

commit fdbef8c4e68ad423416aa6cc93d1616d6f8ac5b3 upstream.

Commit 3a95200d3f89 ("arm_pmu: Change API to support 64bit counter values")
changes the input "value" type from 32-bit to 64-bit, which introduces the
following problem: ARMv7 PMU counters is 32-bit width, in big-endian mode,
write counter uses high 32-bit, which writes an incorrect value.

Before:

 Performance counter stats for 'ls':

              2.22 msec task-clock                #    0.675 CPUs utilized
                 0      context-switches          #    0.000 K/sec
                 0      cpu-migrations            #    0.000 K/sec
                49      page-faults               #    0.022 M/sec

        2147745484      branches                  # 965435.074 M/sec
        2147508540      branch-misses             #   99.99% of all branches

None of the above hw event counters are correct.

Solution:

"value" forcibly converted to 32-bit type before being written to PMU register.

After:

commit dad7b9896a5dbac5da8275d5a6147c65c81fb5f2 upstream.

When building the kernel wtih gcc-10 or higher using the
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE=y flag, the compiler picks a slightly
different set of registers for the inline assembly in cpu_init() that
subsequently results in a corrupt kernel stack as well as remaining in
FIQ mode. If a banked register is used for the last argument, the wrong
version of that register gets loaded into CPSR_c.  When building in Arm
mode, the arguments are passed as immediate values and the bug cannot
happen.

This got introduced when Daniel reworked the FIQ handling and was
technically always broken, but happened to work with both clang and gcc
before gcc-10 as long as they picked one of the lower registers.
This is probably an indication that still very few people build the
kernel in Thumb2 mode.

Marek pointed out the problem on IRC, Arnd narrowed it down to this
inline assembly and Russell pinpointed the exact bug.

Change the constraints to force the final mode switch to use a non-banked
register for the argument to ensure that the correct constant gets loaded.
Another alternative would be to always use registers for the constant
arguments to avoid the #ifdef that has now become more complex.

[ Upstream commit 57ac51667d8cd62731223d687e5fe7b41c502f89 ]

On Qualcomm ARM32 platforms, the SMC call can return before it has
completed. If this occurs, the call can be restarted, but it requires
using the returned session ID value from the interrupted SMC call.

The ARM32 SMCC code already has the provision to add platform specific
quirks for things like this. So let's make use of it and add the
Qualcomm specific quirk (ARM_SMCCC_QUIRK_QCOM_A6) used by the QCOM_SCM
driver.

This change is similar to the below one added for ARM64 a while ago:
commit 82bcd087029f ("firmware: qcom: scm: Fix interrupted SCM calls")

Without this change, the Qualcomm ARM32 platforms like SDX55 will return
-EINVAL for SMC calls used for modem firmware loading and validation.
