commit a9c406e6462ff14956d690de7bbe5131a5677dc9 upstream.

Adding a second set of vectors to .entry.tramp.text will make it
larger than a single 4K page.

Allow the trampoline text to occupy up to three pages by adding two
more fixmap slots. Previous changes to tramp_valias allowed it to reach
beyond a single page.

commit c091fb6ae059cda563b2a4d93fdbc548ef34e1d6 upstream.

The trampoline code has a data page that holds the address of the vectors,
which is unmapped when running in user-space. This ensures that with
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, the randomised address of the kernel can't be
discovered until after the kernel has been mapped.

If the trampoline text page is extended to include multiple sets of
vectors, it will be larger than a single page, making it tricky to
find the data page without knowing the size of the trampoline text
pages, which will vary with PAGE_SIZE.

Move the data page to appear before the text page. This allows the
data page to be found without knowing the size of the trampoline text
pages. 'tramp_vectors' is used to refer to the beginning of the
.entry.tramp.text section, do that explicitly.

commit 6c27c4082f4f upstream.

The literal pool entry for identifying the vectors base is the only piece
of information in the trampoline page that identifies the true location
of the kernel.

This patch moves it into a page-aligned region of the .rodata section
and maps this adjacent to the trampoline text via an additional fixmap
entry, which protects against any accidental leakage of the trampoline
contents.

commit 51a0048beb44 upstream.

The exception entry trampoline needs to be mapped at the same virtual
address in both the trampoline page table (which maps nothing else)
and also the kernel page table, so that we can swizzle TTBR1_EL1 on
exceptions from and return to EL0.

This patch maps the trampoline at a fixed virtual address in the fixmap
area of the kernel virtual address space, which allows the kernel proper
to be randomized with respect to the trampoline when KASLR is enabled.

<title>arm64: Remove fixmap include fragility</title>

<content type='text'>
The asm-generic fixmap.h depends on each architecture's fixmap.h to pull
in the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, if this exists. In the absence of
this, FIXMAP_PAGE_RO will not be defined. In mm/early_ioremap.c the
definition of early_memremap_ro is predicated on FIXMAP_PAGE_RO being
defined.

Currently, the arm64 fixmap.h doesn't include pgtable.h for the
definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, and as a knock-on effect early_memremap_ro
is not always defined, leading to link-time failures when it is used.
This has been observed with defconfig on next-20160226.

Unfortunately, as pgtable.h includes fixmap.h, adding the include
introduces a circular dependency, which is just as fragile.

Instead, this patch factors out PAGE_KERNEL_RO and other prot
definitions into a new pgtable-prot header which can be included by poth
pgtable.h and fixmap.h, avoiding the  circular dependency, and ensuring
that early_memremap_ro is alwyas defined where it is used.

<title>arm64: use fixmap region for permanent FDT mapping</title>

Currently, the FDT blob needs to be in the same 512 MB region as
the kernel, so that it can be mapped into the kernel virtual memory
space very early on using a minimal set of statically allocated
translation tables.

Now that we have early fixmap support, we can relax this restriction,
by moving the permanent FDT mapping to the fixmap region instead.
This way, the FDT blob may be anywhere in memory.

This also moves the vetting of the FDT to mmu.c, since the early
init code in head.S does not handle mapping of the FDT anymore.
At the same time, fix up some comments in head.S that have gone stale.

Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
 "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
  kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile.  We don't support any
  peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:

   - MEMORY init (UEFI)

   - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)

   - CPU init (FADT)

   - GIC init (MADT)

   - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)

   - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)

  ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
  has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables.  This
  has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for

Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
 "This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
  kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile.  We don't support any
  peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:

   - MEMORY init (UEFI)

   - ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)

   - CPU init (FADT)

   - GIC init (MADT)

   - SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)

   - ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)

  ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
  has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables.  This
  has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
  ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
  also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
  kernel.  This pull request is the result of that work.
