commit 3bed491c8d28329e34f8a31e3fe64d03f3a350f1 upstream.

The CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR was set to 65536 in mxs_defconfig,
this caused severe breakage of userland applications since the upper
limit for ARM is 32768. By default CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR is
set to 4096 and can also be changed via /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr
if needed.

Quoting Russell King [1]:

"4096 is also fine for ARM too. There's not much point in having
defconfigs change it - that would just be pure noise in the config
files."

the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR can be removed from the defconfig
altogether.

This problem was introduced by commit cde7c41 (ARM: configs: add
defconfig for mach-mxs).

<title>ARM: 7479/1: mm: avoid NULL dereference when flushing gate_vma with VIVT caches</title>

commit b74253f78400f9a4b42da84bb1de7540b88ce7c4 upstream.

The vivt_flush_cache_{range,page} functions check that the mm_struct
of the VMA being flushed has been active on the current CPU before
performing the cache maintenance.

The gate_vma has a NULL mm_struct pointer and, as such, will cause a
kernel fault if we try to flush it with the above operations. This
happens during ELF core dumps, which include the gate_vma as it may be
useful for debugging purposes.

This patch adds checks to the VIVT cache flushing functions so that VMAs
with a NULL mm_struct are flushed unconditionally (the vectors page may
be dirty if we use it to store the current TLS pointer).

Commit cdf357f1 ("ARM: 6299/1: errata: TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS
operations can broadcast a faulty ASID") replaced by-ASID TLB flushing
operations with all-ASID variants to workaround A9 erratum #720789.

This patch extends the workaround to include the tlb_range operations,
which were overlooked by the original patch.

<title>ARM: OMAP2+: OPP: Fix to ensure check of right oppdef after bad one</title>

commit b110547e586eb5825bc1d04aa9147bff83b57672 upstream.

Commit 9fa2df6b90786301b175e264f5fa9846aba81a65
(ARM: OMAP2+: OPP: allow OPP enumeration to continue if device is not present)
makes the logic:
for (i = 0; i &lt; opp_def_size; i++) {
	&lt;snip&gt;
	if (!oh || !oh-&gt;od) {
		&lt;snip&gt;
		continue;
	}
&lt;snip&gt;
opp_def++;
}

In short, the moment we hit a "Bad OPP", we end up looping the list
comparing against the bad opp definition pointer for the rest of the
iteration count. Instead, increment opp_def in the for loop itself
and allow continue to be used in code without much thought so that
we check the next set of OPP definition pointers :)

commit 7deabca0acfe02b8e18f59a4c95676012f49a304 upstream.

We can stall RCU processing on SMP platforms if a CPU sits in its idle
loop for a long time.  This happens because we don't call irq_enter()
and irq_exit() around generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() and
friends.  Add the necessary calls, and remove the one from within
ipi_timer(), so that they're all in a common place.

commit 350ab15bb2ffe7103bc6bf6c634f3c5b286eaf2a upstream.

The statically defined I/O memory regions for the i.MX21 on chip
peripherals and the on board I/O peripherals of the i.MX21ADS board
overlap. This results in a kernel crash during startup. This is fixed
by reducing the memory range for the on board I/O peripherals to the
actually required range.

commit 435a7ef52db7d86e67a009b36cac1457f8972391 upstream.

We can't be holding the mmap_sem while calling flush_cache_user_range
because the flush can fault. If we fault on a user address, the
page fault handler will try to take mmap_sem again. Since both places
acquire the read lock, most of the time it succeeds. However, if another
thread tries to acquire the write lock on the mmap_sem (e.g. mmap) in
between the call to flush_cache_user_range and the fault, the down_read
in do_page_fault will deadlock.

[will: removed drop of vma parameter as already queued by rmk (7365/1)]

commit 4542b6a0fa6b48d9ae6b41c1efeb618b7a221b2a upstream.

vma isn't used and flush_cache_user_range isn't a standard macro that
is used on several archs with the same prototype. In fact only unicore32
has a macro with the same name (with an identical implementation and no
in-tree users).

This is a part of a patch proposed by Dima Zavin (with Message-id:
1272439931-12795-1-git-send-email-dima@android.com) that didn't get
accepted.
