[ Upstream commit 3d0358d0ba048c5afb1385787aaec8fa5ad78fcc ]

Chris has discovered and reported that v7_dma_inv_range() may corrupt
memory if address range is not aligned to cache line size.

Since the whole cache-v7m.S was lifted form cache-v7.S the same
observation applies to v7m_dma_inv_range(). So the fix just mirrors
what has been done for v7 with a little specific of M-class.

[ Upstream commit a1208f6a822ac29933e772ef1f637c5d67838da9 ]

This patch addresses possible memory corruption when
v7_dma_inv_range(start_address, end_address) address parameters are not
aligned to whole cache lines. This function issues "invalidate" cache
management operations to all cache lines from start_address (inclusive)
to end_address (exclusive). When start_address and/or end_address are
not aligned, the start and/or end cache lines are first issued "clean &amp;
invalidate" operation. The assumption is this is done to ensure that any
dirty data addresses outside the address range (but part of the first or
last cache lines) are cleaned/flushed so that data is not lost, which
could happen if just an invalidate is issued.

The problem is that these first/last partial cache lines are issued
"clean &amp; invalidate" and then "invalidate". This second "invalidate" is
not required and worse can cause "lost" writes to addresses outside the
address range but part of the cache line. If another component writes to
its part of the cache line between the "clean &amp; invalidate" and
"invalidate" operations, the write can get lost. This fix is to remove
the extra "invalidate" operation when unaligned addressed are used.

A kernel module is available that has a stress test to reproduce the
issue and a unit test of the updated v7_dma_inv_range(). It can be
downloaded from
http://ftp.sageembedded.com/outgoing/linux/cache-test-20181107.tgz.

v7_dma_inv_range() is call by dmac_[un]map_area(addr, len, direction)
when the direction is DMA_FROM_DEVICE. One can (I believe) successfully
argue that DMA from a device to main memory should use buffers aligned
to cache line size, because the "clean &amp; invalidate" might overwrite
data that the device just wrote using DMA. But if a driver does use
unaligned buffers, at least this fix will prevent memory corruption
outside the buffer.

<title>ARM: mmp/mmp2: fix cpu_is_mmp2() on mmp2-dt</title>

commit 76f4e2c3b6a560cdd7a75b87df543e04d05a9e5f upstream.

cpu_is_mmp2() was equivalent to cpu_is_pj4(), wouldn't be correct for
multiplatform kernels. Fix it by also considering mmp_chip_id, as is
done for cpu_is_pxa168() and cpu_is_pxa910() above.

Moreover, it is only available with CONFIG_CPU_MMP2 and thus doesn't work
on DT-based MMP2 machines. Enable it on CONFIG_MACH_MMP2_DT too.

Note: CONFIG_CPU_MMP2 is only used for machines that use board files
instead of DT. It should perhaps be renamed. I'm not doing it now, because
I don't have a better idea.

[ Upstream commit cec83ff1241ec98113a19385ea9e9cfa9aa4125b ]

While playing with initialization order of modem device, it has been
discovered that under some circumstances (early console init, I
believe) its .pm() callback may be called before the
uart_port-&gt;private_data pointer is initialized from
plat_serial8250_port-&gt;private_data, resulting in NULL pointer
dereference.  Fix it by checking for uninitialized pointer before using
it in modem_pm().

[ Upstream commit eef3dc34a1e0b01d53328b88c25237bcc7323777 ]

When building the kernel with Clang, the following section mismatch
warning appears:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x38b3c): Section mismatch in reference from
the function omap44xx_prm_late_init() to the function
.init.text:omap44xx_prm_enable_io_wakeup()
The function omap44xx_prm_late_init() references
the function __init omap44xx_prm_enable_io_wakeup().
This is often because omap44xx_prm_late_init lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of omap44xx_prm_enable_io_wakeup is wrong.

Remove the __init annotation from omap44xx_prm_enable_io_wakeup so there
is no more mismatch.

(commit 4ea7bdc6b5b33427bbd3f41c333e21c1825462a3 upstream)

As documented in GCC naked functions should only use basic ASM
syntax. The extended ASM or mixture of basic ASM and "C" code is
not guaranteed. Currently this works because it was hard coded
to follow and check GCC behavior for arguments and register
placement.

Furthermore with clang using parameters in Extended asm in a
naked function is not supported:
  arch/arm/firmware/trusted_foundations.c:47:10: error: parameter
          references not allowed in naked functions
                : "r" (type), "r" (arg1), "r" (arg2)
                       ^

Use a regular function to be more portable. This aligns also with
the other SMC call implementations e.g. in qcom_scm-32.c and
bcm_kona_smc.c.

According to GCC documentation -m(no-)thumb-interwork is
meaningless in AAPCS configurations. Also clang does not
support the flag:
  clang-5.0: error: unknown argument: '-mno-thumb-interwork'

Just drop -mno-thumb-interwork in AEABI configuration.

(commit 22905a24306c8c312c2d66da9f90d09af0414f81 upstream)

According to GCC documentation -m(no-)thumb-interwork is
meaningless in AAPCS configurations. Also clang does not
support the flag:
  clang-5.0: error: unknown argument: '-mno-thumb-interwork'

Just drop -mno-thumb-interwork in AEABI configuration.

Commit a3c0f84765bb429ba0fd23de1c57b5e1591c9389 upstream.

Spectre variant 1 attacks are about this sequence of pseudo-code:

	index = load(user-manipulated pointer);
	access(base + index * stride);

In order for the cache side-channel to work, the access() must me made
to memory which userspace can detect whether cache lines have been
loaded.  On 32-bit ARM, this must be either user accessible memory, or
a kernel mapping of that same user accessible memory.

The problem occurs when the load() speculatively loads privileged data,
and the subsequent access() is made to user accessible memory.

Any load() which makes use of a user-maniplated pointer is a potential
problem if the data it has loaded is used in a subsequent access.  This
also applies for the access() if the data loaded by that access is used
by a subsequent access.

Harden the get_user() accessors against Spectre attacks by forcing out
of bounds addresses to a NULL pointer.  This prevents get_user() being
used as the load() step above.  As a side effect, put_user() will also
be affected even though it isn't implicated.

Also harden copy_from_user() by redoing the bounds check within the
arm_copy_from_user() code, and NULLing the pointer if out of bounds.
