commit 1fc593feaf8e440511f381f4cdff483b55bbf546 upstream.

The head-v7.S contains a call to the generic cpu_suspend function,
which is only available when selected by the i.MX6 code. As
pointed out by Shawn Guo, i.MX5 does not actually use any
functions defined in head-v7.S. It is also needed only for
the i.MX6 power management code and for the SMP code, so
we can restrict building this file to situations in which
at least one of those two is present.

Finally, other platforms with a similar file call it headsmp.S,
so we can rename it to the same for consistency.

Without this patch, building imx5 standalone results in:

arch/arm/mach-imx/built-in.o: In function `v7_cpu_resume':
arch/arm/mach-imx/head-v7.S:104: undefined reference to `cpu_resume'

<title>ARM: imx: select CPU_FREQ_TABLE when needed</title>

commit f637c4c9405e21f44cf0045eaf77eddd3a79ca5a upstream.

The i.MX cpufreq implementation uses the CPU_FREQ_TABLE helpers,
so it needs to select that code to be built. This problem has
apparently existed since the i.MX cpufreq code was first merged
in v2.6.37.

Building IMX without CPU_FREQ_TABLE results in:

arch/arm/plat-mxc/built-in.o: In function `mxc_cpufreq_exit':
arch/arm/plat-mxc/cpufreq.c:173: undefined reference to `cpufreq_frequency_table_put_attr'
arch/arm/plat-mxc/built-in.o: In function `mxc_set_target':
arch/arm/plat-mxc/cpufreq.c:84: undefined reference to `cpufreq_frequency_table_target'

arch/arm/plat-mxc/built-in.o: In function `mxc_cpufreq_init':

commit a28eecef8ac2671dce7d892165bf374eeaa04e15 upstream.

This moves the imx5 pm code out of the list of unconditionally
compiled files for imx5, mirroring what we already do for imx6
and how it was done before the code was move from mach-mx5 to
mach-imx in v3.3.

Without this patch, building with CONFIG_PM disabled results in:

arch/arm/mach-imx/pm-imx5.c:202:116: error: redefinition of 'imx51_pm_init'
arch/arm/mach-imx/include/mach-imx/common.h:154:91: note: previous definition of 'imx51_pm_init' was here

<title>ARM: imx6: spin the cpu until hardware takes it down</title>

commit c944b0b9354ea06ffb0c8a7178949f1185f9f499 upstream.

Though commit 602bf40 (ARM: imx6: exit coherency when shutting down
a cpu) improves the stability of imx6q cpu hotplug a lot, there are
still hangs seen with a more stressful hotplug testing.

It's expected that once imx_enable_cpu(cpu, false) is called, the cpu
will be taken down by hardware immediately, and the code after that
will not get any chance to execute.  However, this is not always the
case from the testing.  The cpu could possibly be alive for a few
cycles before hardware actually takes it down.  So rather than letting
cpu execute some code that could cause a hang in these cycles, let's
make the cpu spin there and wait for hardware to take it down.

commit b01858c7806e7e6f6121da2e51c9222fc4d21dc6 upstream.

Commit d670ac019f60 (ARM: SAMSUNG: DMA Cleanup as per sparse) changed the
prototype of the s3c2410_dma_* functions to use the enum dma_ch instead
of an generic unsigned int.

In the s3c24xx dma.c s3c2410_dma_enqueue seems to have been forgotten,
the other functions there were changed correctly.

So mimic the dummy-add of DMACH_DT_PROP on s3c64xx for s3c24xx

<title>ARM: OMAP2+: Fix dmtimer set source clock failure</title>

commit 54f32a35f4d3a653a18a2c8c239f19ae060bd803 upstream.

Calling the dmtimer function omap_dm_timer_set_source() fails if following a
call to pm_runtime_put() to disable the timer. For example the following
sequence would fail to set the parent clock ...

	omap_dm_timer_stop(gptimer);
	omap_dm_timer_set_source(gptimer, OMAP_TIMER_SRC_32_KHZ);

The following error message would be seen ...

omap_dm_timer_set_source: failed to set timer_32k_ck as parent

The problem is that, by design, pm_runtime_put() simply decrements the usage
count and returns before the timer has actually been disabled. Therefore,
setting the parent clock failed because the timer was still active when the
trying to set the parent clock. Setting a parent clock will fail if the clock
you are setting the parent of has a non-zero usage count. To ensure that this
does not fail use pm_runtime_put_sync() when disabling the timer.

Note that this will not be seen on OMAP1 devices, because these devices do
not use the clock framework for dmtimers.

commit 730a8128cd8978467eb1cf546b11014acb57d433 upstream.

Commit 5a783cbc4836 ("ARM: 7478/1: errata: extend workaround for erratum
 #720789") added workarounds for erratum #720789 to the range TLB
invalidation functions with the observation that the erratum only
affects SMP platforms. However, when running an SMP_ON_UP kernel on a
uniprocessor platform we must take care to preserve the ASID as the
workaround is not required.

This patch ensures that we don't set the ASID to 0 when flushing the TLB
on such a system, preserving the original behaviour with the workaround
disabled.

commit f5f2025ef3e2cdb593707cbf87378761f17befbe upstream.

Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t.
For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to
sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits
to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into
a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code
defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not
get used.

This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us
to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each.

commit 47f1204329237a0f8655f5a9f14a38ac81946ca1 upstream.

Swap entries are encoding in ptes such that !pte_present(pte) and
pte_file(pte). The remaining bits of the descriptor are used to identify
the swapfile and offset within it to the swap entry.

When writing such a pte for a user virtual address, set_pte_at
unconditionally sets the nG bit, which (in the case of LPAE) will
corrupt the swapfile offset and lead to a BUG:

[  140.494067] swap_free: Unused swap offset entry 000763b4
[  140.509989] BUG: Bad page map in process rs:main Q:Reg  pte:0ec76800 pmd:8f92e003

This patch fixes the problem by only setting the nG bit for user
mappings that are actually present.
