commit 15653371c67c3fbe359ae37b720639dd4c7b42c5 upstream.

Subhash Jadavani reported this partial backtrace:
  Now consider this call stack from MMC block driver (this is on the ARMv7
  based board):

  [&lt;c001b50c&gt;] (v7_dma_inv_range+0x30/0x48) from [&lt;c0017b8c&gt;] (dma_cache_maint_page+0x1c4/0x24c)
  [&lt;c0017b8c&gt;] (dma_cache_maint_page+0x1c4/0x24c) from [&lt;c0017c28&gt;] (___dma_page_cpu_to_dev+0x14/0x1c)
  [&lt;c0017c28&gt;] (___dma_page_cpu_to_dev+0x14/0x1c) from [&lt;c0017ff8&gt;] (dma_map_sg+0x3c/0x114)

This is caused by incrementing the struct page pointer, and running off
the end of the sparsemem page array.  Fix this by incrementing by pfn
instead, and convert the pfn to a struct page.

commit 6f16f4998f98e42e3f2dedf663cfb691ff0324af upstream.

We currently use a temporary 1MB section aligned to a 1MB boundary for
mapping the provided device tree until the final page table is created.
However, if the device tree happens to cross that 1MB boundary, the end
of it remains unmapped and the kernel crashes when it attempts to access
it.  Given no restriction on the location of that DTB, it could end up
with only a few bytes mapped at the end of a section.

Solve this issue by mapping two consecutive sections.

<title>ARM: 7627/1: Predicate preempt logic on PREEMP_COUNT not PREEMPT alone</title>

commit 568dca15aa2a0f4ddee255894ec393a159f13147 upstream.

Patrik Kluba reports that the preempt count becomes invalid due
to the preempt_enable() call being unbalanced with a
preempt_disable() call in the vfp assembly routines. This happens
because preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() update preempt
counts under PREEMPT_COUNT=y but the vfp assembly routines do so
under PREEMPT=y. In a configuration where PREEMPT=n and
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, PREEMPT_COUNT=y and so the preempt_enable()
call in VFP_bounce() keeps subtracting from the preempt count
until it goes negative.

Fix this by always using PREEMPT_COUNT to decided when to update
preempt counts in the ARM assembly code.

commit 3b4bc7bccc7857274705b05cf81a0c72cfd0b0dd upstream.

This patch fixes some code that implements a work-around to a hardware bug in
the ac97 controller on the pxa27x.  A bug in the controller's warm reset
functionality requires that the mfp used by the controller as the AC97_nRESET
line be temporarily reconfigured as a generic output gpio (AF0) and manually
held high for the duration of the warm reset cycle.  This is what was done in
the original code, but it was broken long ago by commit fb1bf8cd
    ([ARM] pxa: introduce processor specific pxa27x_assert_ac97reset())
which changed the mfp to a GPIO input instead of a high output.

The fix requires the ac97 controller to obtain the gpio via gpio_request_one(),
with arguments that configure the gpio as an output initially driven high.

Tested on a palm treo 680 machine.  Reportedly, this broken code only prevents a
warm reset on hardware that lacks a pull-up on the line, which appears to be the
case for me.

find_vma() is *not* safe when somebody else is removing vmas.  Not just
the return value might get bogus just as you are getting it (this instance
doesn't try to dereference the resulting vma), the search itself can get
buggered in rather spectacular ways.  IOW, -&gt;mmap_sem really, really is
not optional here.

commit 864aa04cd02979c2c755cb28b5f4fe56039171c0 upstream.

When updating the page protection map after calculating the user_pgprot
value, the base protection map is temporarily stored in an unsigned long
type, causing truncation of the protection bits when LPAE is enabled.
This effectively means that calls to mprotect() will corrupt the upper
page attributes, clearing the XN bit unconditionally.

This patch uses pteval_t to store the intermediate protection values,
preserving the upper bits for 64-bit descriptors.

commit 39141ddfb63a664f26d3f42f64ee386e879b492c upstream.

After commit 846a136881b8f73c1f74250bf6acfaa309cab1f2 ("ARM: vfp: fix
saving d16-d31 vfp registers on v6+ kernels"), the OMAP 2430SDP board
started crashing during boot with omap2plus_defconfig:

[    3.875122] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD04G 3.69 GiB
[    3.915954]  mmcblk0: p1

[    4.107666] LR is at __und_usr_fault_32+0x0/0x8

It turns out that the context save/restore fix unmasked a latent bug
in commit 5aaf254409f8d58229107b59507a8235b715a960 ("ARM: 6203/1: Make
VFPv3 usable on ARMv6").  When CONFIG_VFPv3 is set, but the kernel is
booted on a pre-VFPv3 core, the code attempts to save and restore the
d16-d31 VFP registers.  These are only present on non-D16 VFPv3+, so
this results in an undefined instruction exception.  The code didn't
crash before commit 846a136 because the save and restore code was
only touching d0-d15, present on all VFP.

Fix by implementing a request from Russell King to add a new HWCAP
flag that affirmatively indicates the presence of the d16-d31
registers:

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&amp;m=135013547905283&amp;w=2

and some feedback from Måns to clarify the name of the HWCAP flag.

commit 1dc831bf53fddcc6443f74a39e72db5bcea4f15d upstream.

- The code relies on rc_pci_fixup being called, which only happens
  when CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS is enabled, so add that to Kconfig. Omitting
  this causes a booting failure with a non-obvious cause.
- Update rc_pci_fixup to set the class properly, copying the
  more modern style from other places
- Correct the rc_pci_fixup comment

commit d356cf5a74afa32b40decca3c9dd88bc3cd63eb5 upstream.

PMU interrupts start at IRQ_DOVE_PMU_START, not IRQ_DOVE_PMU_START + 1.
Fix the condition.  (It may have been less likely to occur had the code
been written "if (irq &gt;= IRQ_DOVE_PMU_START" which imho is the easier
to understand notation, and matches the normal way of thinking about
these things.)

<title>Dove: Attempt to fix PMU/RTC interrupts</title>

commit 5d3df935426271016b895aecaa247101b4bfa35e upstream.

Fix the acknowledgement of PMU interrupts on Dove: some Dove hardware
has not been sensibly designed so that interrupts can be handled in a
race free manner.  The PMU is one such instance.

The pending (aka 'cause') register is a bunch of RW bits, meaning that
these bits can be both cleared and set by software (confirmed on the
Armada-510 on the cubox.)

Hardware sets the appropriate bit when an interrupt is asserted, and
software is required to clear the bits which are to be processed.  If
we write ~(1 &lt;&lt; bit), then we end up asserting every other interrupt
except the one we're processing.  So, we need to do a read-modify-write
cycle to clear the asserted bit.

However, any interrupts which occur in the middle of this cycle will
also be written back as zero, which will also clear the new interrupts.

The upshot of this is: there is _no_ way to safely clear down interrupts
in this register (and other similarly behaving interrupt pending
registers on this device.)  The patch below at least stops us creating
new interrupts.
