commit 2952a6070e07ebdd5896f1f5b861acad677caded upstream.

Make sure we don't use a cached value of the KVM stage2 PGD while
resetting the PGD.

commit 6c0d706b563af732adb094c5bf807437e8963e84 upstream.

In kvm_free_stage2_pgd() we check the stage2 PGD before holding
the lock and proceed to take the lock if it is valid. And we unmap
the page tables, followed by releasing the lock. We reset the PGD
only after dropping this lock, which could cause a race condition
where another thread waiting on or even holding the lock, could
potentially see that the PGD is still valid and proceed to perform
a stage2 operation and later encounter a NULL PGD.

commit 7e5a672289c9754d07e1c3b33649786d3d70f5e4 upstream.

The mmu_notifier_release() callback of KVM triggers cleaning up
the stage2 page table on kvm-arm. However there could be other
notifier callbacks in parallel with the mmu_notifier_release(),
which could cause the call backs ending up in an empty stage2
page table. Make sure we check it for all the notifier callbacks.

[ Upstream commit 270c8cf1cacc69cb8d99dea812f06067a45e4609 ]

ARM has a few system calls (most notably mmap) for which the names of
the functions which are referenced in the syscall table do not match the
names of the syscall tracepoints.  As a consequence of this, these
tracepoints are not made available.  Implement
arch_syscall_match_sym_name to fix this and allow tracing even these
system calls.

commit 8d4514173211586c6238629b1ef1e071927735f5 upstream.

As written in the datasheet the PCA955 can only handle low level irq and
not edge irq.

Without this fix the interrupt is not usable for pca955: the gpio-pca953x
driver already set the irq type as low level which is incompatible with
edge type, then the kernel prevents using the interrupt:

"irq: type mismatch, failed to map hwirq-18 for
/soc/internal-regs/gpio@18100!"

[ Upstream commit 3ef01c968fbfb21c2f16281445d30a865ee4412c ]

NF_CT_PROTO_DCCP/SCTP/UDPLITE were switched from tristate to boolean so
defconfig needs to be adjusted to silence warnings:
	warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for NF_CT_PROTO_DCCP
	warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for NF_CT_PROTO_SCTP

[ Upstream commit 3ef01c968fbfb21c2f16281445d30a865ee4412c ]

NF_CT_PROTO_DCCP/SCTP/UDPLITE were switched from tristate to boolean so
defconfig needs to be adjusted to silence warnings:
	warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for NF_CT_PROTO_DCCP
	warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for NF_CT_PROTO_SCTP

[ Upstream commit 4cf48f1d7520a4d325af58eded4d8090e1b40be7 ]

Trying to initialize eMMC slot as SDIO or SD cause failure in n900 port of
qemu. eMMC itself is not detected and is not working.

Real Nokia N900 harware does not have this problem. As eMMC is really not
SDIO or SD based such change is harmless and will fix support for qemu.

<title>arm: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4MB</title>

commit 6a9af90a3bcde217a1c053e135f5f43e5d5fafbd upstream.

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we
have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the
address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions.

4MB is chosen here mainly to have parity with x86, where this is the
traditional minimum load location, likely to avoid historically
requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB
would be used (since the NULL address is avoided).

For ARM the position could be 0x8000, the standard ET_EXEC load address,
but that is needlessly close to the NULL address, and anyone running PIE
on 32-bit ARM will have an MMU, so the tight mapping is not needed.

<title>ARM: 8685/1: ensure memblock-limit is pmd-aligned</title>

commit 9e25ebfe56ece7541cd10a20d715cbdd148a2e06 upstream.

The pmd containing memblock_limit is cleared by prepare_page_table()
which creates the opportunity for early_alloc() to allocate unmapped
memory if memblock_limit is not pmd aligned causing a boot-time hang.

Commit 965278dcb8ab ("ARM: 8356/1: mm: handle non-pmd-aligned end of RAM")
attempted to resolve this problem, but there is a path through the
adjust_lowmem_bounds() routine where if all memory regions start and
end on pmd-aligned addresses the memblock_limit will be set to
arm_lowmem_limit.

Since arm_lowmem_limit can be affected by the vmalloc early parameter,
the value of arm_lowmem_limit may not be pmd-aligned. This commit
corrects this oversight such that memblock_limit is always rounded
down to pmd-alignment.

commit 0c2bf9f95983fe30aa2f6463cb761cd42c2d521a upstream.

GIC_PPI flags were misconfigured for the timers, resulting in errors
like:
[    0.000000] GIC: PPI11 is secure or misconfigured

Changing them to being edge triggered corrects the issue
