commit 2ad5d52d42810bed95100a3d912679d8864421ec upstream.

In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG &gt; 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if
BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin.

Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead.  Since we now
#include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution
by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not
exported to userspace.

This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc.

commit 9aed02feae57bf7a40cb04ea0e3017cb7a998db4 upstream.

After emulating an unaligned access in delay slot of a branch, we
pretend as the delay slot never happened - so return back to actual
branch target (or next PC if branch was not taken).

Curently we did this by handling STATUS32.DE, we also need to clear the
BTA.T bit, which is disregarded when returning from original misaligned
exception, but could cause weirdness if it took the interrupt return
path (in case interrupt was acive too)

One ARC700 customer ran into this when enabling unaligned access fixup
for kernel mode accesses as well

<title>ARC: udelay: fix inline assembler by adding LP_COUNT to clobber list</title>

commit 36425cd67052e3becf325fd4d3ba5691791ef7e4 upstream.

commit 3c7c7a2fc8811bc ("ARC: Don't use "+l" inline asm constraint")
modified the inline assembly to setup LP_COUNT register manually and NOT
rely on gcc to do it (with the +l inline assembler contraint hint, now
being retired in the compiler)

However the fix was flawed as we didn't add LP_COUNT to asm clobber list,
meaning gcc doesn't know that LP_COUNT or zero-delay-loops are in action
in the inline asm.

This resulted in some fun - as nested ZOL loops were being generared

| mov lp_count,250000 ;16 # tmp235,
| lp .L__GCC__LP14 #		&lt;======= OUTER LOOP (gcc generated)
|   .L14:
|   ld r2, [r5] # MEM[(volatile u32 *)prephitmp_43], w
|   dmb 1
|   breq r2, -1, @.L21 #, w,,
|   bbit0 r2,1,@.L13 # w,,
|   ld r4,[r7] ;25 # loops_per_jiffy, loops_per_jiffy
|   mpymu r3,r4,r6 #, loops_per_jiffy, tmp234
|
|   mov lp_count, r3 #		 &lt;====== INNER LOOP (from inline asm)
|   lp 1f
| 	 nop
|   1:
|   nop_s
| .L__GCC__LP14: ; loop end, start is @.L14 #,

This caused issues with drivers relying on sane behaviour of udelay
friends.

With LP_COUNT added to clobber list, gcc doesn't generate the outer
loop in say above case.

commit 9dce990d2cf57b5ed4e71a9cdbd7eae4335111ff upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.

convert_vx_to_fp() is adapted to handle only a specified number of
registers rather than unconditionally handling all of them: other
callers of this function are adapted appropriately.

Based on an initial patch by Dave Martin.

<title>arm64: avoid returning from bad_mode</title>

commit 7d9e8f71b989230bc613d121ca38507d34ada849 upstream.

Generally, taking an unexpected exception should be a fatal event, and
bad_mode is intended to cater for this. However, it should be possible
to contain unexpected synchronous exceptions from EL0 without bringing
the kernel down, by sending a SIGILL to the task.

We tried to apply this approach in commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95 ("arm64:
don't kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0"), by sending a signal for
any bad_mode call resulting from an EL0 exception.

However, this also applies to other unexpected exceptions, such as
SError and FIQ. The entry paths for these exceptions branch to bad_mode
without configuring the link register, and have no kernel_exit. Thus, if
we take one of these exceptions from EL0, bad_mode will eventually
return to the original user link register value.

This patch fixes this by introducing a new bad_el0_sync handler to cater
for the recoverable case, and restoring bad_mode to its original state,
whereby it calls panic() and never returns. The recoverable case
branches to bad_el0_sync with a bl, and returns to userspace via the
usual ret_to_user mechanism.

commit 90f92c631b210c1e97080b53a9d863783281a932 upstream.

The following patch was sketched by Russell in response to my
crashes on the PB11MPCore after the patch for software-based
priviledged no access support for ARMv8.1. See this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&amp;m=144051749807214&amp;w=2

I am unsure what is going on, I suspect everyone involved in
the discussion is. I just want to repost this to get the
discussion restarted, as I still have to apply this patch
with every kernel iteration to get my PB11MPCore Realview
running.

Testing by Neil Armstrong on the Oxnas NAS has revealed that
this bug exist also on that widely deployed hardware, so
we are probably currently regressing all ARM11MPCore systems.

commit 6ab5c2b662e2dcbb964099bf7f19e9dbc9ae5a41 upstream.

This patch fixes the following error:
sgtl5000 0-000a: Error reading chip id -6
imx-sgtl5000 sound: ASoC: CODEC DAI sgtl5000 not registered
imx-sgtl5000 sound: snd_soc_register_card failed (-517)

The problem was that the pinctrl group was linked to the sound driver
instead of the codec node. Since the codec is probed first, the sys_mclk
was missing and it would therefore fail to initialize.

commit ad9e202aa1ce571b1d7fed969d06f66067f8a086 upstream.

We cannot preserve partial fields for hardware breakpoints, because
the values written by userspace to the hardware breakpoint
registers can't subsequently be recovered intact from the hardware.

So, just reject attempts to write incomplete fields with -EINVAL.
