commit 7d57511d2dba03a8046c8b428dd9192a4bfc1e73 upstream.

Commit a469abd0f868 (ARM: elf: add new hwcap for identifying atomic
ldrd/strd instructions) introduces HWCAP_ELF for 32-bit ARM
applications. As LPAE is always present on arm64, report the
corresponding compat HWCAP to user space.

<title>clocksource: arch_timer: Fix code to use physical timers when requested</title>

commit 0b46b8a718c6e90910a1b1b0fe797be3c167e186 upstream.

This is a bug fix for using physical arch timers when
the arch_timer_use_virtual boolean is false.  It restores the
arch_counter_get_cntpct() function after removal in

0d651e4e "clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters"

We need this on certain ARMv7 systems which are architected like this:

* The firmware doesn't know and doesn't care about hypervisor mode and
  we don't want to add the complexity of hypervisor there.

* The firmware isn't involved in SMP bringup or resume.

* The ARCH timer come up with an uninitialized offset between the
  virtual and physical counters.  Each core gets a different random
  offset.

* The device boots in "Secure SVC" mode.

* Nothing has touched the reset value of CNTHCTL.PL1PCEN or
  CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN (both default to 1 at reset)

One example of such as system is RK3288 where it is much simpler to
use the physical counter since there's nobody managing the offset and
each time a core goes down and comes back up it will get reinitialized
to some other random value.

Fixes: 0d651e4e65e9 ("clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters")

pfns are unsigned long, but PHYS_PFN_OFFSET is phys_addr_t. This leads
to page_to_pfn() returning phys_addr_t which cause type mismatches in
some print statements.

<title>arm64: ASLR: Don't randomise text when randomise_va_space == 0</title>

<content type='text'>
When user asks to turn off ASLR by writing "0" to
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space there should not be
any randomization to mmap base, stack, VDSO, libs, text and heap

Currently arm64 violates this behavior by randomising text.
Fix this by defining a constant ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. The randomisation of
mm-&gt;mmap_base is done by setup_new_exec -&gt; arch_pick_mmap_layout -&gt;
mmap_base -&gt; mmap_rnd.

<title>arm64: compat: fix compat types affecting struct compat_elf_prpsinfo</title>

<content type='text'>
The compat_elf_prpsinfo structure does not match the arch/arm struct
elf_pspsinfo definition. As result NT_PRPSINFO note in core file
created by arm64 kernel for aarch32 (compat) process has wrong size.
So gdb cannot display command that caused process crash.

Fix is to change size of __compat_uid_t, __compat_gid_t so it would
match size of similar fields in arch/arm case.

This patch adds the necessary support for all host kernel PGSIZE and
VA_SPACE configuration options for both EL2 and the Stage-2 page tables.

However, for 40bit and 42bit PARange systems, the architecture mandates
that VTCR_EL2.SL0 is maximum 1, resulting in fewer levels of stage-2
pagge tables than levels of host kernel page tables.  At the same time,
systems with a PARange &gt; 42bit, we limit the IPA range by always setting
VTCR_EL2.T0SZ to 24.

To solve the situation with different levels of page tables for Stage-2
translation than the host kernel page tables, we allocate a dummy PGD
with pointers to our actual inital level Stage-2 page table, in order
for us to reuse the kernel pgtable manipulation primitives.  Reproducing
all these in KVM does not look pretty and unnecessarily complicates the
32-bit side.

Systems with a PARange &lt; 40bits are not yet supported.

 [ I have reworked this patch from its original form submitted by
   Jungseok to take the architecture constraints into consideration.
   There were too many changes from the original patch for me to
   preserve the authorship.  Thanks to Catalin Marinas for his help in
   figuring out a good solution to this challenge.  I have also fixed
   various bugs and missing error code handling from the original
   patch. - Christoffer ]
