commit 26bef1318adc1b3a530ecc807ef99346db2aa8b0 upstream.

Before we do an EMMS in the AMD FXSAVE information leak workaround we
need to clear any pending exceptions, otherwise we trap with a
floating-point exception inside this code.

<title>parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap</title>

<id>f61151979964da8f08e28c099b85ecb0018be6ef</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f8dae00684d678afa13041ef170cecfd1297ed40 upstream.

Helge Deller noted a few weeks ago problems with the AIO support on
parisc. This change is the result of numerous iterations on how best to
deal with this problem.

The solution adopted here is to provide full cache coherency in a
uniform manner on all parisc systems. This involves calling
flush_dcache_page() on kmap operations and flush_kernel_dcache_page() on
kunmap operations. As a result, the copy_user_page() and
clear_user_page() functions can be removed and the overall code is
simpler.

The change ensures that both userspace and kernel aliases to a mapped
page are invalidated and flushed. This is necessary for the correct
operation of PA8800 and PA8900 based systems which do not support
inequivalent aliases.

With this change, I have observed no cache related issues on c8000 and
rp3440. It is now possible for example to do kernel builds with "-j64"
on four way systems.

On systems using XFS file systems, the patch recently posted by Mikulas
Patocka to "fix crash using XFS on loopback" is needed to avoid a hang
caused by an uninitialized lock passed to flush_dcache_page() in the
page struct.

commit b6328a6b7ba57fc84c38248f6f0e387e1170f1a8 upstream.

Commit 4dcfa60071b3d23f0181f27d8519f12e37cefbb9 ("ARM: DMA-API: better
handing of DMA masks for coherent allocations") added an additional
check to the coherent DMA mask that results in an error when the mask is
larger than what dma_addr_t can address.

Set the LCDC coherent DMA mask to DMA_BIT_MASK(32) instead of ~0 to fix
the problem.

commit 8777539479abd7b3efeb691685415dc2b057d0e0 upstream.

Due to incorrect clock specified in MDMA0 node, using MDMA0 controller
could cause system failures, due to wrong clock being controlled. This
patch fixes this by specifying correct clock.

commit 2a7cfcbc0553365d75716f69ee7b704cac7c9248 upstream.

When given a compound high page, __flush_dcache_page will only flush
the first page of the compound page repeatedly rather than the entire
set of constituent pages.

This error was introduced by:
   0b19f93 ARM: mm: Add support for flushing HugeTLB pages.

This patch corrects the logic such that all constituent pages are now
flushed.

commit 4ff859fe1dc0da0f87bbdfff78f527898878fa4a upstream.

The clockevents code was being told that the footbridge clock event
device ticks at 16x the rate which it actually does.  This leads to
timekeeping problems since it allows the clocksource to wrap before
the kernel notices.  Fix this by using the correct clock.
