[ Upstream commit 6849b5eba1965ceb0cad3a75877ef4569dd3638e ]

Updates to the Generic Timer architecture allow ID_PFR1.GenTimer to
have values other than 0 or 1 while still preserving backward
compatibility. At the moment, Linux is quite strict in the way it
handles this field at early boot and will not configure arch timer if
it doesn't find the value 1.

Since here use ubfx for arch timer version extraction (hyb-stub build
with -march=armv7-a, so it is safe)

To help backports (even though the code was correct at the time of writing)

<title>ARM: 8943/1: Fix topology setup in case of CPU hotplug for CONFIG_SCHED_MC</title>

commit ff98a5f624d2910de050f1fc7f2a32769da86b51 upstream.

Commit ca74b316df96 ("arm: Use common cpu_topology structure and
functions.") changed cpu_coregroup_mask() from the ARM32 specific
implementation in arch/arm/include/asm/topology.h to the one shared
with ARM64 and RISCV in drivers/base/arch_topology.c.

Currently on ARM32 (TC2 w/ CONFIG_SCHED_MC) the task scheduler setup
code (w/ CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG) shows this during CPU hotplug:

  ERROR: groups don't span domain-&gt;span

It happens to CPUs of the cluster of the CPU which gets hot-plugged
out on scheduler domain MC.

Turns out that the shared cpu_coregroup_mask() requires that the
hot-plugged CPU is removed from the core_sibling mask via
remove_cpu_topology(). Otherwise the 'is core_sibling subset of
cpumask_of_node()' doesn't work. In this case the task scheduler has to
deal with cpumask_of_node instead of core_sibling which is wrong on
scheduler domain MC.

e.g. CPU3 hot-plugged out on TC2 [cluster0: 0,3-4 cluster1: 1-2]:

  cpu_coregroup_mask(): CPU3 cpumask_of_node=0-2,4 core_sibling=0,3-4
                                                                  ^
should be:

  cpu_coregroup_mask(): CPU3 cpumask_of_node=0-2,4 core_sibling=0,4

Add remove_cpu_topology() to __cpu_disable() to remove the CPU from the
topology masks in case of a CPU hotplug out operation.

At the same time tweak store_cpu_topology() slightly so it will call
update_siblings_masks() in case of CPU hotplug in operation via
secondary_start_kernel()-&gt;smp_store_cpu_info().

This aligns the ARM32 implementation with the ARM64 one.

Guarding remove_cpu_topology() with CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY is
necessary since some Arm32 defconfigs (aspeed_g5_defconfig,
milbeaut_m10v_defconfig, spear13xx_defconfig) specify an explicit

 # CONFIG_ARM_CPU_TOPOLOGY is not set

w/ ./arch/arm/Kconfig: select GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY if ARM_CPU_TOPOLOGY

It was reported that 72cd4064fcca "NOMMU: Toggle only bits in
EXC_RETURN we are really care of" breaks NOMMU+XIP combination.
It happens because saved EXC_RETURN gets overwritten when data
section is relocated.

The fix is to propagate EXC_RETURN via register and let relocation
code to commit that value into memory.

<title>arm: use generic mmap top-down layout and brk randomization</title>

<content type='text'>
arm uses a top-down mmap layout by default that exactly fits the generic
functions, so get rid of arch specific code and use the generic version by
selecting ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT.

As ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT selects ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE,
use the generic version of arch_randomize_brk since it also fits.  Note
that this commit also removes the possibility for arm to have elf
randomization and no MMU: without MMU, the security added by randomization
is worth nothing.

Note that it is safe to remove STACK_RND_MASK since it matches the default
value.

Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "This cycle's RCU changes were:

   - A few more RCU flavor consolidation cleanups.

   - Updates to RCU's list-traversal macros improving lockdep usability.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Avoid ignoring
     incoming callbacks during grace-period waits.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Use -&gt;cblist
     structure to take advantage of others' grace periods.

   - Also added a small commit that avoids needlessly inflicting
     scheduler-clock ticks on callback-offloaded CPUs.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Reduce contention on
     -&gt;nocb_lock guarding -&gt;cblist.

   - Forward-progress improvements for no-CBs CPUs: Add -&gt;nocb_bypass
     list to further reduce contention on -&gt;nocb_lock guarding -&gt;cblist.

   - Miscellaneous fixes.

   - Torture-test updates.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "Although there isn't tonnes of code in terms of line count, there are
  a fair few headline features which I've noted both in the tag and also
  in the merge commits when I pulled everything together.

  The part I'm most pleased with is that we had 35 contributors this
  time around, which feels like a big jump from the usual small group of
  core arm64 arch developers. Hopefully they all enjoyed it so much that
  they'll continue to contribute, but we'll see.

  It's probably worth highlighting that we've pulled in a branch from
  the risc-v folks which moves our CPU topology code out to where it can
  be shared with others.

  Summary:

   - 52-bit virtual addressing in the kernel

   - New ABI to allow tagged user pointers to be dereferenced by
     syscalls

   - Early RNG seeding by the bootloader

   - Improve robustness of SMP boot

   - Fix TLB invalidation in light of recent architectural
     clarifications

   - Support for i.MX8 DDR PMU

   - Remove direct LSE instruction patching in favour of static keys

   - Function error injection using kprobes

   - Support for the PPTT "thread" flag introduced by ACPI 6.3

   - Move PSCI idle code into proper cpuidle driver

   - Relaxation of implicit I/O memory barriers

   - Build with RELR relocations when toolchain supports them

   - Numerous cleanups and non-critical fixes"
