commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

<title>ARM: 8637/1: Adjust memory boundaries after reservations</title>

commit 985626564eedc470ce2866e53938303368ad41b7 upstream.

adjust_lowmem_bounds is responsible for setting up the boundary for
lowmem/highmem. This needs to be setup before memblock reservations can
occur. At the time memblock reservations can occur, memory can also be
removed from the system. The lowmem/highmem boundary and end of memory
may be affected by this but it is currently not recalculated. On some
systems this may be harmless, on others this may result in incorrect
ranges being passed to the main memory allocator. Correct this by
recalculating the lowmem/highmem boundary after all reservations have
been made.

The logic for sanity_check_meminfo has become difficult to
follow. Clean up the code so it's more obvious what the code
is actually trying to do. Additionally, meminfo is now removed
so rename the function to better describe its purpose.

commit d6dbdd3c8558cad3b6d74cc357b408622d122331 upstream.

Under memory pressure, we start ageing pages, which amounts to parsing
the page tables. Since we don't want to allocate any extra level,
we pass NULL for our private allocation cache. Which means that
stage2_get_pud() is allowed to fail. This results in the following
splat:

The trivial fix is to handle this NULL pud value early, rather than
dereferencing it blindly.

The trivial fix is to handle this NULL pud value early, rather than
dereferencing it blindly.

commit 33b5c38852b29736f3b472dd095c9a18ec22746f upstream.

We currently have the HSCTLR.A bit set, trapping unaligned accesses
at HYP, but we're not really prepared to deal with it.

Since the rest of the kernel is pretty happy about that, let's follow
its example and set HSCTLR.A to zero. Modern CPUs don't really care.

commit d8581c7c8be172dac156a19d261f988a72ce596f upstream.

The board file for imx6sx-sdb overrides cpufreq operating points to use
higher voltages. This is done because the board has a shared rail for
VDD_ARM_IN and VDD_SOC_IN and when using LDO bypass the shared voltage
needs to be a value suitable for both ARM and SOC.

This only applies to LDO bypass mode, a feature not present in upstream.
When LDOs are enabled the effect is to use higher voltages than necessary
for no good reason.

Setting these higher voltages can make some boards fail to boot with ugly
semi-random crashes reminiscent of memory corruption. These failures only
happen on board rev. C, rev. B is reported to still work.

commit d3df1ec06353e51fc44563d2e7e18d42811af290 upstream.

Remove ADC channels that are not available by default on the sama5d3_xplained
board (resistor not populated) in order to not create confusion.

commit 9cdd31e5913c1f86dce7e201b086155b3f24896b upstream.

The voltage reference for the ADC is not 3V but 3.3V since it is connected to
VDDANA.

commit 6d80594936914e798b1b54b3bfe4bd68d8418966 upstream.

We save/restore registers around v7m_invalidate_l1 to address pointed
by r12, which is vector table, so the first eight entries are
overwritten with a garbage. We already have stack setup at that stage,
so use it to save/restore register.
