This reverts commit d0c69c722ff16ce2481a5e0932c6d5b172109f21 which is
commit 0b4edf111870b83ea77b1d7e16b8ceac29f9f388 upstream.

The reverted commit completely breaks MMC on the AM33xx/AM437x for
multiple reasons:

- The changed compatible strings ti,am335-sdhci and ti,am437-sdhci
  aren't supported on Linux 5.4 at all, so no driver is found
- Even when additionally backporting the support for these compatible
  strings in the sdhci-omap driver, I could not the the MMC interfaces
  to work on our TQMa335x SoM - the interface would time out during card
  initialization for both an eMMC and an SD card.

I did not investigate the cause of the timeouts further, and instead
just reverted the commit - switching to a different MMC driver in a stable
kernel seems like a rather risky change unless it's thoroughly tested,
which has obviously not happened in this case.

The reverted commit is also given as a Stable-dep-of commit 2eb502f496f7
("ARM: dts: am33xx: Fix MMCHS0 dma properties"), however the conflict
resulting when only the one commit is reverted is trivial to resolve,
which leads to working MMC controllers again.

commit 7e09ac27f43b382f5fe9bb7c7f4c465ece1f8a23 upstream.

Commit in Fixes added the "NOLOAD" attribute to the .brk section as a
"failsafe" measure.

Unfortunately, this leads to the linker no longer covering the .brk
section in a program header, resulting in the kernel loader not knowing
that the memory for the .brk section must be reserved.

This has led to crashes when loading the kernel as PV dom0 under Xen,
but other scenarios could be hit by the same problem (e.g. in case an
uncompressed kernel is used and the initrd is placed directly behind
it).

So drop the "NOLOAD" attribute. This has been verified to correctly
cover the .brk section by a program header of the resulting ELF file.

commit e32683c6f7d22ba624e0bfc58b02cf3348bdca63 upstream.

With binutils 2.26, RESERVE_BRK() causes a build failure:

  /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')'
  /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')'
  /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')'
  /tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized
  character is `U'

The problem is this line:

  RESERVE_BRK(early_pgt_alloc, INIT_PGT_BUF_SIZE)

Specifically, the INIT_PGT_BUF_SIZE macro which (via PAGE_SIZE's use
_AC()) has a "1UL", which makes older versions of the assembler unhappy.
Unfortunately the _AC() macro doesn't work for inline asm.

Inline asm was only needed here to convince the toolchain to add the
STT_NOBITS flag.  However, if a C variable is placed in a section whose
name is prefixed with ".bss", GCC and Clang automatically set
STT_NOBITS.  In fact, ".bss..page_aligned" already relies on this trick.

So fix the build failure (and simplify the macro) by allocating the
variable in C.

Also, add NOLOAD to the ".brk" output section clause in the linker
script.  This is a failsafe in case the ".bss" prefix magic trick ever
stops working somehow.  If there's a section type mismatch, the GNU
linker will force the ".brk" output section to be STT_NOBITS.  The LLVM
linker will fail with a "section type mismatch" error.

Note this also changes the name of the variable from .brk.##name to
__brk_##name.  The variable names aren't actually used anywhere, so it's
harmless.

commit a1e2c031ec3949b8c039b739c0b5bf9c30007b00 upstream.

RESERVE_BRK() reserves data in the .brk_reservation section.  The data
is initialized to zero, like BSS, so the macro specifies 'nobits' to
prevent the data from taking up space in the vmlinux binary.  The only
way to get the compiler to do that (without putting the variable in .bss
proper) is to use inline asm.

The macro also has a hack which encloses the inline asm in a discarded
function, which allows the size to be passed (global inline asm doesn't
allow inputs).

Remove the need for the discarded function hack by just stringifying the
size rather than supplying it as an input to the inline asm.

<title>arm64: fix a concurrency issue in emulation_proc_handler()</title>

<id>0a45e0e5dd8d35e3f771447c5dbf43441ea7f453</id>
<content type='text'>
In linux-6.1, the related code is refactored in commit 124c49b1b5d9
("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") and this
issue was incidentally fixed. I have adapted the patch set to linux stable
5.10. However, 4.19 and 5.10 are too different and the patch set is
hard to adapt to 4.19.

This patch is to solve the problem of repeated addition of linked lists
described below with few changes.

How to reproduce:
CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y,
then launch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

or "echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/abi/swp" and then aunch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on
insn-&gt;current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects
writing insn-&gt;current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are
two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn-&gt;current_mode to INSN_EMULATE
in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data
INSN_UNDEF of insn-&gt;current_mode. As a result, two tasks call
update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and
current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice,
resulting in a list_add double problem.

After applying this patch, the following list add or list del double
warnings never occur.

commit 128b0c9781c9f2651bea163cb85e52a6c7be0f9e upstream.

David and a few others reported that on certain newer systems some legacy
interrupts fail to work correctly.

Debugging revealed that the BIOS of these systems leaves the legacy PIC in
uninitialized state which makes the PIC detection fail and the kernel
switches to a dummy implementation.

Unfortunately this fallback causes quite some code to fail as it depends on
checks for the number of legacy PIC interrupts or the availability of the
real PIC.

In theory there is no reason to use the PIC on any modern system when
IO/APIC is available, but the dependencies on the related checks cannot be
resolved trivially and on short notice. This needs lots of analysis and
rework.

The PIC detection has been added to avoid quirky checks and force selection
of the dummy implementation all over the place, especially in VM guest
scenarios. So it's not an option to revert the relevant commit as that
would break a lot of other scenarios.

One solution would be to try to initialize the PIC on detection fail and
retry the detection, but that puts the burden on everything which does not
have a PIC.

Fortunately the ACPI/MADT table header has a flag field, which advertises
in bit 0 that the system is PCAT compatible, which means it has a legacy
8259 PIC.

Evaluate that bit and if set avoid the detection routine and keep the real
PIC installed, which then gets initialized (for nothing) and makes the rest
of the code with all the dependencies work again.

<title>s390/pci: fix iommu bitmap allocation</title>

commit c1ae1c59c8c6e0b66a718308c623e0cb394dab6b upstream.

Since the fixed commits both zdev-&gt;iommu_bitmap and zdev-&gt;lazy_bitmap
are allocated as vzalloc(zdev-&gt;iommu_pages / 8). The problem is that
zdev-&gt;iommu_bitmap is a pointer to unsigned long but the above only
yields an allocation that is a multiple of sizeof(unsigned long) which
is 8 on s390x if the number of IOMMU pages is a multiple of 64.
This in turn is the case only if the effective IOMMU aperture is
a multiple of 64 * 4K = 256K. This is usually the case and so didn't
cause visible issues since both the virt_to_phys(high_memory) reduced
limit and hardware limits use nice numbers.

Under KVM, and in particular with QEMU limiting the IOMMU aperture to
the vfio DMA limit (default 65535), it is possible for the reported
aperture not to be a multiple of 256K however. In this case we end up
with an iommu_bitmap whose allocation is not a multiple of
8 causing bitmap operations to access it out of bounds.

Sadly we can't just fix this in the obvious way and use bitmap_zalloc()
because for large RAM systems (tested on 8 TiB) the zdev-&gt;iommu_bitmap
grows too large for kmalloc(). So add our own bitmap_vzalloc() wrapper.
This might be a candidate for common code, but this area of code will
be replaced by the upcoming conversion to use the common code DMA API on
s390 so just add a local routine.

Fixes: 13954fd6913a ("s390/pci_dma: improve lazy flush for unmap")

[ Upstream commit 5ad37b5e30433afa7a5513e3eb61f69fa0976785 ]

On mapphone devices we may get lots of noise on the micro-USB port in debug
uart mode until the phy-cpcap-usb driver probes. Let's limit the noise by
using overrun-throttle-ms.

Note that there is also a related separate issue where the charger cable
connected may cause random sysrq requests until phy-cpcap-usb probes that
still remains.

commit a16eb25b09c02a54c1c1b449d4b6cfa2cf3f013a upstream.

Per the SDM, "When the local APIC handles a performance-monitoring
counters interrupt, it automatically sets the mask flag in the LVT
performance counter register."  Add this behavior to KVM's local APIC
emulation.

Failure to mask the LVTPC entry results in spurious PMIs, e.g. when
running Linux as a guest, PMI handlers that do a "late_ack" spew a large
number of "dazed and confused" spurious NMI warnings.
