commit b0a2679d27408d97ce31e5f800b44227d3388b84 upstream.

Disable the initrd if the passed address already overlaps the reserved
region.  This avoids oopses on Netwinders when NeTTrom tells the kernel
that an initrd is located at mem+4MB, but this overlaps the BSS,
resulting in the kernels in-use BSS being freed.

This should be applied to v2.6.37-stable.

commit a2255ff45143001fecbc5e5a4b58fcb999d393ae upstream.

The AT91 MCI has special SDIO transfer types: SDIO block and SDIO byte
transfers, but at91_mci driver doesn't use them and handles all SDIO
transfers as ordinary MMC block transfers. This causes problems for
multiple-block SDIO transfers (in particular for 256-bytes blocks).

Fix this situation by checking the opcode for SDIO CMD53 and setting
the transfer type in the AT91_MCI_CMDR register properly.

This patch was tested with libertas SDIO driver: problem with TX
timeouts on big packets was eliminated.

commit 85b093bcc5322baa811a03ec73de0909c157f181 upstream.

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the
cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the
SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the
v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and
flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned
to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary.
Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing
cache operations.
While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside
the buffer.

<title>OMAP3: DMA: Errata i541: sDMA FIFO draining does not finish</title>

commit 0e4905c0199d683497833be60a428c784d7575b8 upstream.

Implement the suggested workaround for OMAP3 regarding to sDMA draining
issue, when the channel is disabled on the fly.
This errata affects the following configuration:
sDMA transfer is source synchronized
Buffering is enabled
SmartStandby is selected.

The issue can be easily reproduced by creating overrun situation while
recording audio.
Either introduce load to the CPU:
nice -19 arecord -D hw:0 -M -B 10000 -F 5000 -f dat &gt; /dev/null &amp; \
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null

or suspending the arecord, and resuming it:
arecord -D hw:0 -M -B 10000 -F 5000 -f dat &gt; /dev/null
CTRL+Z; fg; CTRL+Z; fg; ...

In case of overrun audio stops DMA, and restarts it (without reseting
the sDMA channel). When we hit this errata in stop case (sDMA drain did
not complete), at the coming start the sDMA will not going to be
operational (it is still draining).
This leads to DMA stall condition.
On OMAP3 we can recover with sDMA channel reset, it has been observed
that by introducing unrelated sDMA activity might also help (reading
from MMC for example).

The same errata exists for OMAP2, where the suggestion is to disable the
buffering to avoid this type of error.
On OMAP3 the suggestion is to set sDMA to NoStandby before disabling
the channel, and wait for the drain to finish, than configure sDMA to
SmartStandby again.

<title>omap: dma: Fix buffering disable bit setting for omap24xx</title>

<id>52ec3425c2f4e78db7c1ea864d64da4f6125779c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3e57f1626b5febe5cc99aa6870377deef3ae03cc upstream.

An errata workaround for omap24xx is not setting the buffering disable bit
25 what is the purpose but channel enable bit 7 instead.

Background for this fix is the DMA stalling issue with ASoC omap-mcbsp
driver. Peter Ujfalusi &lt;peter.ujfalusi@nokia.com&gt; has found an issue in
recording that the DMA stall could happen if there were a buffer overrun
detected by ALSA and the DMA was stopped and restarted due that. This
problem is known to occur on both OMAP2420 and OMAP3. It can recover on
OMAP3 after dma free, dma request and reconfiguration cycle. However, on
OMAP2420 it seems that only way to recover is a reset.

Problem was not visible before the commit c12abc0. That commit changed that
the McBSP transmitter/receiver is released from reset only when needed. That
is, only enabled McBSP transmitter without transmission was able to prevent
this DMA stall problem in receiving side and underlying problem did not show
up until now. McBSP transmitter itself seems to no be reason since DMA
stall does not recover by enabling the transmission after stall.

Debugging showed that there were a DMA write active during DMA stop time and
it never completed even when restarting the DMA. Experimenting showed that
the DMA buffering disable bit could be used to avoid stalling when using
source synchronized transfers. However that could have performance hit and
OMAP3 TRM states that buffering disable is not allowed for destination
synchronized transfers so subsequent patch will implement a method to
complete DMA writes when stopping.

This patch is based on assumtion that complete lock-up on OMAP2420 is
different but related problem. I don't have access to OMAP2420 errata but
I believe this old workaround here is put for a reason but unfortunately
a wrong bit was typed and problem showed up only now.

commit 0e91ec0c06d2cd15071a6021c94840a50e6671aa upstream.

The find_next_bit, find_first_bit, find_next_zero_bit
and find_first_zero_bit functions were not properly
clamping to the maxbit argument at the bit level. They
were instead only checking maxbit at the byte level.
To fix this, add a compare and a conditional move
instruction to the end of the common bit-within-the-
byte code used by all the functions and be sure not to
clobber the maxbit argument before it is used.

<content type='text'>
commit 1142b71d85894dcff1466dd6c871ea3c89e0352c upstream.

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.

This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.

This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.

commit 4e54d93d3c9846ba1c2644ad06463dafa690d1b7 upstream.

When running following code in a machine which has VIVT caches and
USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is not defined:

  fd = open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY);
  addr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
  addr2 = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

  v = *((int *)addr);

we will hang in spinlock recursion in the page fault handler:

  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, mmap_test/717
  lock: c5e295d8, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: mmap_test/717,
                  .owner_cpu: 0
  [&lt;c0026604&gt;] (unwind_backtrace+0x0/0xec)
  [&lt;c014ee48&gt;] (do_raw_spin_lock+0x40/0x140)
  [&lt;c0027f68&gt;] (update_mmu_cache+0x208/0x250)
  [&lt;c0079db4&gt;] (__do_fault+0x320/0x3ec)
  [&lt;c007af7c&gt;] (handle_mm_fault+0x2f0/0x6d8)
  [&lt;c0027834&gt;] (do_page_fault+0xdc/0x1cc)
  [&lt;c00202d0&gt;] (do_DataAbort+0x34/0x94)

This comes from the fact that when USE_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is not defined,
the only lock protecting the page tables is mm-&gt;page_table_lock
which is already locked before update_mmu_cache() is called.

It can't be merged into Linus' tree because this file has already been
changed in incompatible ways.

Fixup the missing second parameter to addruart macro to allow them to build,
according to to commit 0e17226f7cd289504724466f4298abc9bdfca3fe.
