commit e34b6fcf9b09ec9d93503edd5f81489791ffd602 upstream.

remove the usage of removed irq_to_gpio() function.  On pre-DB1200
boards, pass the actual carddetect GPIO number instead of the IRQ,
because we need the gpio to actually test card status (inserted or
not) and can get the irq number with gpio_to_irq() instead.

Tested on DB1300 and DB1500, this patch fixes PCMCIA on the DB1500,
which used irq_to_gpio().

commit fa8ff601d72bad3078ddf5ef17a5547700d06908 upstream.

Copying the content of an MSA vector from user memory may involve TLB
faults &amp; mapping in pages. This will fail when preemption is disabled
due to an inability to acquire mmap_sem from do_page_fault, which meant
such vector loads to unmapped pages would always fail to be emulated.
Fix this by disabling preemption later only around the updating of
vector register state.

This change does however introduce a race between performing the load
into thread context &amp; the thread being preempted, saving its current
live context &amp; clobbering the loaded value. This should be a rare
occureence, so optimise for the fast path by simply repeating the load if
we are preempted.

Additionally if the copy failed then the failure path was taken with
preemption left disabled, leading to the kernel typically encountering
further issues around sleeping whilst atomic. The change to where
preemption is disabled avoids this issue.

commit d825c06bfe8b885b797f917ad47365d0e9c21fbb upstream.

When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map
cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising
it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask
any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their
way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache
operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same
core, even though the VPEs share primary caches.

Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

commit 7a50e4688dabb8005df39b2b992d76629b8af8aa upstream.

The MIPS_GIC_IPI should only be selected when MIPS_GIC is also
selected, otherwise it results in a compile error. smp-gic.c uses some
functions from include/linux/irqchip/mips-gic.h like
plat_ipi_call_int_xlate() which are only added to the header file when
MIPS_GIC is set. The Lantiq SoC does not use the GIC, but supports SMP.
The calls top the functions from smp-gic.c are already protected by
some #ifdefs

The first part of this was introduced in commit 72e20142b2bf ("MIPS:
Move GIC IPI functions out of smp-cmp.c")

commit 56fa81fc9a5445938f3aa2e63d15ab63dc938ad6 upstream.

In current scache init cache line_size is determined from
cpu config register, however if there there no scache
then mips_sc_probe_cm3 function populates a invalid line_size of 2.

The invalid line_size can cause a NULL pointer deference
during r4k_dma_cache_inv as r4k_blast_scache is populated
based on line_size. Scache line_size of 2 is invalid option in
r4k_blast_scache_setup.

This issue was faced during a MIPS I6400 based virtual platform bring up
where scache was not available in virtual platform model.

<title>MIPS: Fix buffer overflow in syscall_get_arguments()</title>

commit f4dce1ffd2e30fa31756876ef502ce6d2324be35 upstream.

Since commit 4c21b8fd8f14 ("MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls
(o32)"), syscall_get_arguments() attempts to handle o32 indirect syscall
arguments by incrementing both the start argument number and the number
of arguments to fetch. However only the start argument number needs to
be incremented. The number of arguments does not change, they're just
shifted up by one, and in fact the output array is provided by the
caller and is likely only n entries long, so reading more arguments
overflows the output buffer.

In the case of seccomp, this results in it fetching 7 arguments starting
at the 2nd one, which overflows the unsigned long args[6] in
populate_seccomp_data(). This clobbers the $s0 register from
syscall_trace_enter() which __seccomp_phase1_filter() saved onto the
stack, into which syscall_trace_enter() had placed its syscall number
argument. This caused Chromium to crash.

Credit goes to Milko for tracking it down as far as $s0 being clobbered.

stack, into which syscall_trace_enter() had placed its syscall number
argument. This caused Chromium to crash.

Credit goes to Milko for tracking it down as far as $s0 being clobbered.

commit 4f33f6c522948fffc345261896042b58dea23754 upstream.

Commit be0c37c985eddc4 (MIPS: Rearrange PTE bits into fixed positions.)
defines fixed PTE bits for MIPS R2. Then, commit d7b631419b3d230a4d383
(MIPS: pgtable-bits: Fix XPA damage to R6 definitions.) adds the MIPS
R6 definitions in the same way as MIPS R2. But some R6 #ifdefs in the
later commit are missing, so in this patch I fix that.

<title>MIPS: hpet: Choose a safe value for the ETIME check</title>

commit 5610b1254e3689b6ef8ebe2db260709a74da06c8 upstream.

This patch is borrowed from x86 hpet driver and explaind below:

Due to the overly intelligent design of HPETs, we need to workaround
the problem that the compare value which we write is already behind
the actual counter value at the point where the value hits the real
compare register. This happens for two reasons:

1) We read out the counter, add the delta and write the result to the
   compare register. When a NMI hits between the read out and the write
   then the counter can be ahead of the event already.

2) The write to the compare register is delayed by up to two HPET
   cycles in AMD chipsets.

We can work around this by reading back the compare register to make
sure that the written value has hit the hardware. But that is bad
performance wise for the normal case where the event is far enough in
the future.

As we already know that the write can be delayed by up to two cycles
we can avoid the read back of the compare register completely if we
make the decision whether the delta has elapsed already or not based
on the following calculation:

  cmp = event - actual_count;

If cmp is less than 64 HPET clock cycles, then we decide that the event
has happened already and return -ETIME. That covers the above #1 and #2
problems which would cause a wait for HPET wraparound (~306 seconds).
