<title>ARM: mvebu: remove conflicting muxing on Armada 370 DB</title>

commit b4607572ef86b288a856b9df410ea593c5371dec upstream.

Back when audio was enabled, the muxing of some MPP pins was causing
problems. However, since commit fea038ed55ae ("ARM: mvebu: Add proper
pin muxing on the Armada 370 DB board"), those problematic MPP pins
have been assigned a proper muxing for the Ethernet interfaces. This
proper muxing is now conflicting with the hog pins muxing that had
been added as part of 249f3822509b ("ARM: mvebu: add audio support to
Armada 370 DB").

Therefore, this commit simply removes the hog pins muxing, which
solves a warning a boot time due to the conflicting muxing
requirements.

<title>ARM: mvebu: disable I/O coherency on non-SMP situations on Armada 370/375/38x/XP</title>

commit e55355453600a33bb5ca4f71f2d7214875f3b061 upstream.

Enabling the hardware I/O coherency on Armada 370, Armada 375, Armada
38x and Armada XP requires a certain number of conditions:

 - On Armada 370, the cache policy must be set to write-allocate.

 - On Armada 375, 38x and XP, the cache policy must be set to
   write-allocate, the pages must be mapped with the shareable
   attribute, and the SMP bit must be set

Currently, on Armada XP, when CONFIG_SMP is enabled, those conditions
are met. However, when Armada XP is used in a !CONFIG_SMP kernel, none
of these conditions are met. With Armada 370, the situation is worse:
since the processor is single core, regardless of whether CONFIG_SMP
or !CONFIG_SMP is used, the cache policy will be set to write-back by
the kernel and not write-allocate.

Since solving this problem turns out to be quite complicated, and we
don't want to let users with a mainline kernel known to have
infrequent but existing data corruptions, this commit proposes to
simply disable hardware I/O coherency in situations where it is known
not to work.

And basically, the is_smp() function of the kernel tells us whether it
is OK to enable hardware I/O coherency or not, so this commit slightly
refactors the coherency_type() function to return
COHERENCY_FABRIC_TYPE_NONE when is_smp() is false, or the appropriate
type of the coherency fabric in the other case.

Thanks to this, the I/O coherency fabric will no longer be used at all
in !CONFIG_SMP configurations. It will continue to be used in
CONFIG_SMP configurations on Armada XP, Armada 375 and Armada 38x
(which are multiple cores processors), but will no longer be used on
Armada 370 (which is a single core processor).

In the process, it simplifies the implementation of the
coherency_type() function, and adds a missing call to of_node_put().

<title>ARM: mvebu: make the coherency_ll.S functions work with no coherency fabric</title>

commit 30cdef97107370a7f63ab5d80fd2de30540750c8 upstream.

The ll_add_cpu_to_smp_group(), ll_enable_coherency() and
ll_disable_coherency() are used on Armada XP to control the coherency
fabric. However, they make the assumption that the coherency fabric is
always available, which is currently a correct assumption but will no
longer be true with a followup commit that disables the usage of the
coherency fabric when the conditions are not met to use it.

Therefore, this commit modifies those functions so that they check the
return value of ll_get_coherency_base(), and if the return value is 0,
they simply return without configuring anything in the coherency
fabric.

The ll_get_coherency_base() function is also modified to properly
return 0 when the function is called with the MMU disabled. In this
case, it normally returns the physical address of the coherency
fabric, but we now check if the virtual address is 0, and if that's
case, return a physical address of 0 to indicate that the coherency
fabric is not enabled.

Commit d127e9c ("ARM: tegra: make tegra_resume can work with current and later
chips") removed tegra_get_soc_id macro leaving used cpu register corrupted after
branching to v7_invalidate_l1() and as result causing execution of unintended
code on tegra20. Possibly it was expected that r6 would be SoC id func argument
since common cpu reset handler is setting r6 before branching to tegra_resume(),
but neither tegra20_lp1_reset() nor tegra30_lp1_reset() aren't setting r6
register before jumping to resume function. Fix it by re-adding macro.

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.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "Another round of relatively small ARM fixes.

  Thomas spotted that the strex backoff delay bit was a disable bit, so
  it needed to be clear for this to work.  Vladimir spotted that using a
  restart block for the cache flush operation would return -EINTR, which
  userspace was not expecting.  Dmitry spotted that the auxiliary
  control register accesses for Xscale were not correct"

We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined
signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned
and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are
a few problems with that:
 * looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush
 * but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the
   process has to use the same range again
 * ...and again, what might lead to looping forever

So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing
as early as fatal signal is pending.

Under extremely rare conditions, in an MPCore node consisting of at
least 3 CPUs, two CPUs trying to perform a STREX to data on the same
shared cache line can enter a livelock situation.

This patch enables the HW mechanism that overcomes the bug. This fixes
the incorrect setup of the STREX backoff delay bit due to a wrong
description in the specification.

Note that enabling the STREX backoff delay mechanism is done by
leaving the bit *cleared*, while the bit was currently being set by
the proc-v7.S code.

[Thomas: adapt to latest mainline, slightly reword the commit log, add
stable markers.]

Fixes: de4901933f6d ("arm: mm: Add support for PJ4B cpu and init routines")
