commit fb033c95c94ca1ee3d16e04ebdb85d65fb55fff8 upstream.

The system currently warns if the config conditions for
building return_address in arch/arm/kernel/return_address.c
are not met, leaving just an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(return_address)
of a function defined to be 'static linline'.
This is a result of aeea3592a13b ("ARM: 8158/1: LLVMLinux: use static inline in ARM ftrace.h").

Since we're not going to build anything other than an exported
symbol for something that is already being defined to be an
inline-able return of NULL, just avoid building the code to
remove the following warning:

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

        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.

[ Upstream commit 8252ca87c7a2111502ee13994956f8c309faad7f ]

Enabling function_graph tracer on ARM causes kernel panic, because the
function graph tracer updates the "return address" of a function in order
to insert a trace callback on function exit, it saves the function's
original return address in a return trace stack, but cpu_suspend() may not
return through the normal return path.

cpu_suspend() will resume directly via the cpu_resume path, but the return
trace stack has been set-up by the subfunctions of cpu_suspend(), which
makes the "return address" inconsistent with cpu_suspend().

This patch refers to Commit de818bd4522c40ea02a81b387d2fa86f989c9623
("arm64: kernel: pause/unpause function graph tracer in cpu_suspend()"),

fixes the issue by pausing/resuming the function graph tracer on the thread
executing cpu_suspend(), so that the function graph tracer state is kept
consistent across functions that enter power down states and never return
by effectively disabling graph tracer while they are executing.

<title>ARM: 9027/1: head.S: explicitly map DT even if it lives in the first physical section</title>

commit 10fce53c0ef8f6e79115c3d9e0d7ea1338c3fa37 upstream

The early ATAGS/DT mapping code uses SECTION_SHIFT to mask low order
bits of R2, and decides that no ATAGS/DTB were provided if the resulting
value is 0x0.

This means that on systems where DRAM starts at 0x0 (such as Raspberry
Pi), no explicit mapping of the DT will be created if R2 points into the
first 1 MB section of memory. This was not a problem before, because the
decompressed kernel is loaded at the base of DRAM and mapped using
sections as well, and so as long as the DT is referenced via a virtual
address that uses the same translation (the linear map, in this case),
things work fine.

However, commit 7a1be318f579 ("9012/1: move device tree mapping out of
linear region") changes this, and now the DT is referenced via a virtual
address that is disjoint from the linear mapping of DRAM, and so we need
the early code to create the DT mapping unconditionally.

So let's create the early DT mapping for any value of R2 != 0x0.

bits of R2, and decides that no ATAGS/DTB were provided if the resulting
value is 0x0.

This means that on systems where DRAM starts at 0x0 (such as Raspberry
Pi), no explicit mapping of the DT will be created if R2 points into the
first 1 MB section of memory. This was not a problem before, because the
decompressed kernel is loaded at the base of DRAM and mapped using
sections as well, and so as long as the DT is referenced via a virtual
address that uses the same translation (the linear map, in this case),
things work fine.

However, commit 7a1be318f579 ("9012/1: move device tree mapping out of
linear region") changes this, and now the DT is referenced via a virtual
address that is disjoint from the linear mapping of DRAM, and so we need
the early code to create the DT mapping unconditionally.

So let's create the early DT mapping for any value of R2 != 0x0.

commit fc2933c133744305236793025b00c2f7d258b687 upstream

Commit

  149a3ffe62b9dbc3 ("9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region")

created a permanent, read-only section mapping of the device tree blob
provided by the firmware, and added a set of macros to get the base and
size of the virtually mapped FDT based on the physical address. However,
while the mapping code uses the SECTION_SIZE macro correctly, the macros
use PMD_SIZE instead, which means something entirely different on ARM when
using short descriptors, and is therefore not the right quantity to use
here. So replace PMD_SIZE with SECTION_SIZE. While at it, change the names
of the macro and its parameter to clarify that it returns the virtual
address of the start of the FDT, based on the physical address in memory.

commit 7a1be318f5795cb66fa0dc86b3ace427fe68057f upstream

On ARM, setting up the linear region is tricky, given the constraints
around placement and alignment of the memblocks, and how the kernel
itself as well as the DT are placed in physical memory.

Let's simplify matters a bit, by moving the device tree mapping to the
top of the address space, right between the end of the vmalloc region
and the start of the the fixmap region, and create a read-only mapping
for it that is independent of the size of the linear region, and how it
is organized.

Since this region was formerly used as a guard region, which will now be
populated fully on LPAE builds by this read-only mapping (which will
still be able to function as a guard region for stray writes), bump the
start of the [underutilized] fixmap region by 512 KB as well, to ensure
that there is always a proper guard region here. Doing so still leaves
ample room for the fixmap space, even with NR_CPUS set to its maximum
value of 32.

commit e9a2f8b599d0bc22a1b13e69527246ac39c697b4 upstream

Before moving the DT mapping out of the linear region, let's prepare
for this change by removing all the phys-to-virt translations of the
__atags_pointer variable, and perform this translation only once at
setup time.

[ Upstream commit a506bd5756290821a4314f502b4bafc2afcf5260 ]

The commit 1879445dfa7b ("perf/core: Set event's default
::overflow_handler()") set a default event-&gt;overflow_handler in
perf_event_alloc(), and replace the check event-&gt;overflow_handler with
is_default_overflow_handler(), but one is missing.

Currently, the bp-&gt;overflow_handler can not be NULL. As a result,
enable_single_step() is always not invoked.
