commit 15ac49b65024f55c4371a53214879a9c77c4fbf9 upstream.

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling.  This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.

The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs-&gt;ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed.  However, if the exception is
not handled, regs-&gt;ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.

This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes.  This is not true of
Thumb2 though.

Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment.  Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.

commit 5a783cbc48367cfc7b65afc75430953dfe60098f upstream.

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: 7477/1: vfp: Always save VFP state in vfp_pm_suspend on UP</title>

commit 24b35521b8ddf088531258f06f681bb7b227bf47 upstream.

vfp_pm_suspend should save the VFP state in suspend after
any lazy context switch.  If it only saves when the VFP is enabled,
the state can get lost when, on a UP system:
  Thread 1 uses the VFP
  Context switch occurs to thread 2, VFP is disabled but the
     VFP context is not saved
  Thread 2 initiates suspend
  vfp_pm_suspend is called with the VFP disabled, and the unsaved
     VFP context of Thread 1 in the registers

Modify vfp_pm_suspend to save the VFP context whenever
vfp_current_hw_state is not NULL.

Includes a fix from Ido Yariv &lt;ido@wizery.com&gt;, who pointed out that on
SMP systems, the state pointer can be pointing to a freed task struct if
a task exited on another cpu, fixed by using #ifndef CONFIG_SMP in the
new if clause.

<title>ARM: 7467/1: mutex: use generic xchg-based implementation for ARMv6+</title>

commit a76d7bd96d65fa5119adba97e1b58d95f2e78829 upstream.

The open-coded mutex implementation for ARMv6+ cores suffers from a
severe lack of barriers, so in the uncontended case we don't actually
protect any accesses performed during the critical section.

Furthermore, the code is largely a duplication of the ARMv6+ atomic_dec
code but optimised to remove a branch instruction, as the mutex fastpath
was previously inlined. Now that this is executed out-of-line, we can
reuse the atomic access code for the locking (in fact, we use the xchg
code as this produces shorter critical sections).

This patch uses the generic xchg based implementation for mutexes on
ARMv6+, which introduces barriers to the lock/unlock operations and also
has the benefit of removing a fair amount of inline assembly code.

commit 98bd8b96b26db3399a48202318dca4aaa2515355 upstream.

The CPU will endlessly spin at the end of machine_halt and
machine_restart calls.  However, this will lead to a soft lockup
warning after about 20 seconds, if CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled,
as system timer is still alive.

Disable interrupt before going to spin endlessly, so that the lockup
warning will never be seen.

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 3dca938656c7b0ff6b0717a5dde0f5f45e592be5 upstream.

While upgrading the kernel on a S3C2412 based board I've noted
that it was impossible to boot the board with a 2.6.32 or upper
kernel. I've tracked down the problem to the EBI virtual memory
mapping that is in conflict with the IO mapping definition in
arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/s3c2412.c.
