[ Upstream commit d248220f0465b818887baa9829e691fe662b2c5e ]

Since commit 6ce0d2001692 ("ARM: dma: Use dma_pfn_offset for dma address translation"),
dma_to_pfn() already returns the PFN with the physical memory start offset
so we don't need to add it again.

This fixes USB mass storage lock-up problem on systems that can't do DMA
over the entire physical memory range (e.g.) Keystone 2 systems with 4GB RAM
can only do DMA over the first 2GB. [K2E-EVM].

What happens there is that without this patch SCSI layer sets a wrong
bounce buffer limit in scsi_calculate_bounce_limit() for the USB mass
storage device. dma_max_pfn() evaluates to 0x8fffff and bounce_limit
is set to 0x8fffff000 whereas maximum DMA'ble physical memory on Keystone 2
is 0x87fffffff. This results in non DMA'ble pages being given to the
USB controller and hence the lock-up.

NOTE: in the above case, USB-SCSI-device's dma_pfn_offset was showing as 0.
This should have really been 0x780000 as on K2e, LOWMEM_START is 0x80000000
and HIGHMEM_START is 0x800000000. DMA zone is 2GB so dma_max_pfn should be
0x87ffff. The incorrect dma_pfn_offset for the USB storage device is because
USB devices are not correctly inheriting the dma_pfn_offset from the
USB host controller. This will be fixed by a separate patch.

[ Upstream commit 6ed518328d0189e0fdf1bb7c73290d546143ea66 ]

We have one critical section in the syscall entry path in which we switch from
the userspace stack to kernel stack. In the event of an external interrupt, the
interrupt code distinguishes between those two states by analyzing the value of
sr7. If sr7 is zero, it uses the kernel stack. Therefore it's important, that
the value of sr7 is in sync with the currently enabled stack.

This patch now disables interrupts while executing the critical section.  This
prevents the interrupt handler to possibly see an inconsistent state which in
the worst case can lead to crashes.

Interestingly, in the syscall exit path interrupts were already disabled in the
critical section which switches back to the userspace stack.

The ERET instruction to return from exception is used for returning from
exception level (Status.EXL) and error level (Status.ERL). If both bits
are set however we should be returning from ERL first, as ERL can
interrupt EXL, for example when an NMI is taken. KVM however checks EXL
first.

Fix the order of the checks to match the pseudocode in the instruction
set manual.

[ Upstream commit 80f23935cadb1c654e81951f5a8b7ceae0acc1b4 ]

PowerPC's "cmp" instruction has four operands. Normally people write
"cmpw" or "cmpd" for the second cmp operand 0 or 1. But, frequently
people forget, and write "cmp" with just three operands.

With older binutils this is silently accepted as if this was "cmpw",
while often "cmpd" is wanted. With newer binutils GAS will complain
about this for 64-bit code. For 32-bit code it still silently assumes
"cmpw" is what is meant.

In this instance the code comes directly from ISA v2.07, including the
cmp, but cmpd is correct. Backport to stable so that new toolchains can
build old kernels.

If a cxl adapter faults on an invalid address for a kernel context, we
may enter copro_calculate_slb() with a NULL mm pointer (kernel
context) and an effective address which looks like a user
address. Which will cause a crash when dereferencing mm. It is clearly
an AFU bug, but there's no reason to crash either. So return an error,
so that cxl can ack the interrupt with an address error.

[ Upstream commit 581b7f158fe0383b492acd1ce3fb4e99d4e57808 ]

There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is
supposed to return precisely.  Native returns the full flags, while lguest and
Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the
implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at.  This may
have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is.

To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making
the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour.  Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV
guests on Broadwell hardware.  The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual
build, but not consistent for all builds.  It has also been a sitting timebomb
since SMAP support was introduced.

Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC
flag.

[ Upstream commit 581b7f158fe0383b492acd1ce3fb4e99d4e57808 ]

There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is
supposed to return precisely.  Native returns the full flags, while lguest and
Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the
implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at.  This may
have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is.

To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making
the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour.  Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV
guests on Broadwell hardware.  The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual
build, but not consistent for all builds.  It has also been a sitting timebomb
since SMAP support was introduced.

Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC
flag.

[ Upstream commit 8e4b72054f554967827e18be1de0e8122e6efc04 ]

Since commit acb2505d0119 ("openrisc: fix copy_from_user()"),
copy_from_user() returns the number of bytes requested, not the
number of bytes not copied.

[ Upstream commit 2f90bce7ff1f760986d55d9cb3a834e8638b1295 ]

The commit "genirq: Generic chip: Change irq_reg_{readl,writel}
arguments" modified the API. In the same tome the
arch/arm/plat-orion/gpio.c file received a fix with the use of the old
API: "ARM: orion: Fix for certain sequence of request_irq can cause
irq storm". This commit fixes the use of the API.
