ARM: 7809/1: perf: fix event validation for software group leaders

2013-09-10T00:57:23+00:00

commit c95eb3184ea1a3a2551df57190c81da695e2144b upstream.

It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a
group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group.
This results in the event group being validated by adding all members
of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on
their respective PMU.

Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this
results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the ->get_event_idx
function pointer.

This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events
and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be
scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the
validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with
multiple hardware PMUs anyway.

ARM: 7791/1: a.out: remove partial a.out support

2013-09-10T00:57:14+00:00

commit acfdd4b1f7590d02e9bae3b73bdbbc4a31b05d38 upstream.

a.out support on ARM requires that argc, argv and envp are passed in
r0-r2 respectively, which requires hacking load_aout_binary to
prevent argc being clobbered by the return code. Whilst mainline kernels
do set the registers up in start_thread, the aout loader has never
carried the hack in mainline.

Initialising the registers in this way actually goes against the libc
expectations for ELF binaries, where argc, argv and envp are passed on
the stack, with r0 being used to hold a pointer to an exit function for
cleaning up after the dynamic linker if required. If the pointer is
NULL, then it is ignored. When execing an ELF binary, Linux currently
zeroes r0, then sets it to argc and then finally clobbers it with the
return value of the execve syscall, so we actually end up with:

	r0 = 0
	stack[0] = argc
	r1 = stack[1] = argv
	r2 = stack[2] = envp

libc treats r1 and r2 as undefined. The clobbering of r0 by sys_execve
works for user-spawned threads, but when executing an ELF binary from a
kernel thread (via call_usermodehelper), the execve is performed on the
ret_from_fork path, which restores r0 from the saved pt_regs, resulting
in argc being presented to the C library. This has horrible consequences
when the application exits, since we have an exit function registered
using argc, resulting in a jump to hyperspace.

This patch solves the problem by removing the partial a.out support from
arch/arm/ altogether.

ARM: 7765/1: perf: Record the user-mode PC in the call chain.

2013-07-27T04:34:16+00:00

commit c5f927a6f62196226915f12194c9d0df4e2210d7 upstream.

With this change, we no longer lose the innermost entry in the user-mode
part of the call chain.  See also the x86 port, which includes the ip.

It's possible to partially work around this problem by post-processing
the data to use the PERF_SAMPLE_IP value, but this works only if the CPU
wasn't in the kernel when the sample was taken.

ARM: 7772/1: Fix missing flush_kernel_dcache_page() for noMMU

2013-06-29T03:06:28+00:00

commit 63384fd0b1509acf522a8a8fcede09087eedb7df upstream.

Commit 1bc3974 (ARM: 7755/1: handle user space mapped pages in
flush_kernel_dcache_page) moved the implementation of
flush_kernel_dcache_page() into mm/flush.c but did not implement it
on noMMU ARM.

ARM: 7755/1: handle user space mapped pages in flush_kernel_dcache_page

2013-06-29T03:06:28+00:00

commit 1bc39742aab09248169ef9d3727c9def3528b3f3 upstream.

Commit f8b63c1 made flush_kernel_dcache_page a no-op assuming that
the pages it needs to handle are kernel mapped only.  However, for
example when doing direct I/O, pages with user space mappings may
occur.

Thus, continue to do lazy flushing if there are no user space
mappings.  Otherwise, flush the kernel cache lines directly.

ARM: 7743/1: compressed/head.S: work around new binutils warning

2013-06-19T01:16:56+00:00

commit da94a829305f1c217cfdf6771cb1faca0917e3b9 upstream.

In August 2012, Matthew Gretton-Dann checked a change into binutils
labelled "Error on obsolete & warn on deprecated registers", apparently as
part of ARMv8 support. Apparently, this was supposed to emit the message
"Warning: This coprocessor register access is deprecated in ARMv8" when
using certain mcr/mrc instructions and building for ARMv8. Unfortunately,
the message that is actually emitted appears to be '(null)', which is
less helpful in comparison.

Even more unfortunately, this is biting us on every single kernel
build with a new gas, because arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S and some
other files in that directory are built with -march=all since kernel
commit 80cec14a8 "[ARM] Add -march=all to assembly file build in
arch/arm/boot/compressed" back in v2.6.28.

This patch reverts Russell's nice solution and instead marks the head.S
file to be built for armv7-a, which fortunately lets us build all
instructions in that file without warnings even on the broken binutils.

Without this patch, building anything results in:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:565: Warning: (null)

ARM: 7742/1: topology: export cpu_topology

2013-06-19T01:16:56+00:00

commit 92bdd3f5eba299b33c2f4407977d6fa2e2a6a0da upstream.

The cpu_topology symbol is required by any driver using the topology
interfaces, which leads to a couple of build errors:

ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/sfc.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/cpufreq/arm_big_little.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "cpu_topology" [drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.ko] undefined!

The obvious solution is to export this symbol.
