ARM: OMAP3: Fix booting with thumb2 kernel

2016-05-19T00:04:00+00:00

commit d8a50941c91a68da202aaa96a3dacd471ea9c693 upstream.

We get a NULL pointer dereference on omap3 for thumb2 compiled kernels:

Internal error: Oops: 80000005 [#1] SMP THUMB2
...
[] (_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore) from []
(omap3_enter_idle_bm+0xc5/0x178)
[] (omap3_enter_idle_bm) from []

[] (cpu_startup_entry) from []
(start_kernel+0x32f/0x338)
[] (start_kernel) from [<8000807f>] (0x8000807f)

The power management related assembly on omaps needs to interact with
ARM mode bootrom code, so we need to keep most of the related assembly
in ARM mode.

Turns out this error is because of missing ENDPROC for assembly code
as suggested by Stephen Boyd . Let's fix the
problem by adding ENDPROC in two places to sleep34xx.S.

Let's also remove the now duplicate custom code for mode switching.
This has been unnecessary since commit 6ebbf2ce437b ("ARM: convert
all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+").

And let's also remove the comments about local variables, they are
now just confusing after the ENDPROC.

The reason why ENDPROC makes a difference is it sets .type and then
the compiler knows what to do with the thumb bit as explained at:

powerpc: scan_features() updates incorrect bits for REAL_LE

2016-05-11T09:21:03+00:00

commit 6997e57d693b07289694239e52a10d2f02c3a46f upstream.

The REAL_LE feature entry in the ibm_pa_feature struct is missing an MMU
feature value, meaning all the remaining elements initialise the wrong
values.

This means instead of checking for byte 5, bit 0, we check for byte 0,
bit 0, and then we incorrectly set the CPU feature bit as well as MMU
feature bit 1 and CPU user feature bits 0 and 2 (5).

Checking byte 0 bit 0 (IBM numbering), means we're looking at the
"Memory Management Unit (MMU)" feature - ie. does the CPU have an MMU.
In practice that bit is set on all platforms which have the property.

This means we set CPU_FTR_REAL_LE always. In practice that seems not to
matter because all the modern cpus which have this property also
implement REAL_LE, and we've never needed to disable it.

We're also incorrectly setting MMU feature bit 1, which is:

#define MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx 0x00000002

Luckily the only place that looks for MMU_FTR_TYPE_8xx is in Book3E
code, which can't run on the same cpus as scan_features(). So this also
doesn't matter in practice.

Finally in the CPU user feature mask, we're setting bits 0 and 2. Bit 2
is not currently used, and bit 0 is:

#define PPC_FEATURE_PPC_LE 0x00000001

Which says the CPU supports the old style "PPC Little Endian" mode.
Again this should be harmless in practice as no 64-bit CPUs implement
that mode.

Fix the code by adding the missing initialisation of the MMU feature.

Also add a comment marking CPU user feature bit 2 (0x4) as reserved. It
would be unsafe to start using it as old kernels incorrectly set it.

x86/sysfb_efi: Fix valid BAR address range check

2016-05-11T09:21:02+00:00

commit c10fcb14c7afd6688c7b197a814358fecf244222 upstream.

The code for checking whether a BAR address range is valid will break
out of the loop when a start address of 0x0 is encountered.

This behaviour is wrong since by breaking out of the loop we may miss
the BAR that describes the EFI frame buffer in a later iteration.

Because of this bug I can't use video=efifb: boot parameter to get
efifb on my new ThinkPad E550 for my old linux system hard disk with
3.10 kernel. In 3.10, efifb is the only choice due to DRM/I915 not
supporting the GPU.

This patch also add a trivial optimization to break out after we find
the frame buffer address range without testing later BARs.

x86/tsc: Read all ratio bits from MSR_PLATFORM_INFO

2016-05-11T09:21:02+00:00

commit 886123fb3a8656699dff40afa0573df359abeb18 upstream.

Currently we read the tsc radio: ratio = (MSR_PLATFORM_INFO >> 8) & 0x1f;

Thus we get bit 8-12 of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO, however according to the SDM
(35.5), the ratio bits are bit 8-15.

Ignoring the upper bits can result in an incorrect tsc ratio, which causes the
TSC calibration and the Local APIC timer frequency to be incorrect.

Fix this problem by masking 0xff instead.

commit 5616f36713ea77f57ae908bf2fef641364403c9f upstream.

The secondary CPU starts up in ARM mode. When the kernel is compiled in
thumb2 mode we have to explicitly compile the secondary startup
trampoline in ARM mode, otherwise the CPU will go to Nirvana.

ARM: OMAP3: Add cpuidle parameters table for omap3430

2016-05-04T21:51:26+00:00

commit 98f42221501353067251fbf11e732707dbb68ce3 upstream.

Based on CPU type choose generic omap3 or omap3430 specific cpuidle
parameters. Parameters for omap3430 were measured on Nokia N900 device and
added by commit 5a1b1d3a9efa ("OMAP3: RX-51: Pass cpu idle parameters")
which were later removed by commit 231900afba52 ("ARM: OMAP3: cpuidle -
remove rx51 cpuidle parameters table") due to huge code complexity.

This patch brings cpuidle parameters for omap3430 devices again, but uses
simple condition based on CPU type.

x86/iopl/64: Properly context-switch IOPL on Xen PV

2016-05-04T21:51:24+00:00

commit b7a584598aea7ca73140cb87b40319944dd3393f upstream.

On Xen PV, regs->flags doesn't reliably reflect IOPL and the
exit-to-userspace code doesn't change IOPL.  We need to context
switch it manually.

I'm doing this without going through paravirt because this is
specific to Xen PV.  After the dust settles, we can merge this with
the 32-bit code, tidy up the iopl syscall implementation, and remove
the set_iopl pvop entirely.

Fixes XSA-171.

ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Fix updating of sysconfig register

2016-05-04T21:51:23+00:00

commit 3ca4a238106dedc285193ee47f494a6584b6fd2f upstream.

Commit 127500ccb766f ("ARM: OMAP2+: Only write the sysconfig on idle
when necessary") talks about verification of sysconfig cache value before
updating it, only during idle path. But the patch is adding the
verification in the enable path. So, adding the check in a proper place
as per the commit description.

Not keeping this check during enable path as there is a chance of losing
context and it is safe to do on idle as the context of the register will
never be lost while the device is active.

parisc: Fix kernel crash with reversed copy_from_user()

commit ef72f3110d8b19f4c098a0bff7ed7d11945e70c6 upstream.

The kernel module testcase (lib/test_user_copy.c) exhibited a kernel
crash on parisc if the parameters for copy_from_user were reversed
("illegal reversed copy_to_user" testcase).

Fix this potential crash by checking the fault handler if the faulting

parisc: Avoid function pointers for kernel exception routines

commit e3893027a300927049efc1572f852201eb785142 upstream.

We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers
for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing
the external reference from function type to int type fixes this.

This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when
called from a kernel module.
