<title>ARM: 8856/1: NOMMU: Fix CCR register faulty initialization when MPU is disabled</title>

When CONFIG_ARM_MPU is not defined, the base address of v7M SCB register
is not initialized with correct value. This prevents enabling I/D caches
when the L1 cache poilcy is applied in kernel.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - An improvement from Ard Biesheuvel, who noted that the identity map
   setup was taking a long time due to flush_cache_louis().

 - Update a comment about dma_ops from Wolfram Sang.

 - Remove use of "-p" with ld, where this flag has been a no-op since
   2004.

 - Remove the printing of the virtual memory layout, which is no longer
   useful since we hide pointers.

 - Correct SCU help text.

 - Remove legacy TWD registration method.

 - Add pgprot_device() implementation for mapping PCI sysfs resource
   files.

 - Initialise PFN limits earlier for kmemleak.

 - Fix argument count to match macro definition (affects clang builds)

 - Use unified assembler language almost everywhere for clang, and other
   clang improvements (from Stefan Agner, Nathan Chancellor).

 - Support security extension for noMMU and other noMMU cleanups (from
   Vladimir Murzin).

 - Remove unnecessary SMP bringup code (which was incorrectly copy'n'
   pasted from the ARM platform implementations) and remove it from the
   arch code to discourge further copys of it appearing.

 - Add Cortex A9 erratum preventing kexec working on some SoCs.

 - AMBA bus identification updates from Mike Leach.

 - More use of raw spinlocks to avoid -RT kernel issues (from Yang Shi
   and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior).

 - MCPM hyp/svc mode mismatch fixes from Marek Szyprowski.

<title>treewide: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()</title>

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.  The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.

The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

  @@
  expression ptr, size, align;
  @@
  ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);
  + if (!ptr)
  + 	panic("%s: Failed to allocate %lu bytes align=0x%lx\n", __func__, size, align);

<title>get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function</title>

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function).  It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.

Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.

Inspired by a patch from Jann Horn that just did this for a very small
subset of users (the ones in fs/), along with Al who suggested a script.
I then just took it to the logical extreme and removed all the remaining
gunk.

Roughly scripted with

   git grep -l '(get_ds())' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i 's/(get_ds())/(KERNEL_DS)/'
   git grep -lw 'get_ds' -- :^tools/ | xargs sed -i '/^#define get_ds()/d'

plus manual fixups to remove a few unusual usage patterns, the couple of
inline function cases and to fix up a comment that had become stale.

The 'get_ds()' function remains in an x86 kvm selftest, since in user
space it actually does something relevant.

Every in-kernel use of this function defined it to KERNEL_DS (either as
an actual define, or as an inline function).  It's an entirely
historical artifact, and long long long ago used to actually read the
segment selector valueof '%ds' on x86.

Which in the kernel is always KERNEL_DS.

To access PRBARn, where n is referenced as a binary number:

MRC p15, 0, &lt;Rt&gt;, c6, c8+n[3:1], 4*n[0] ; Read PRBARn into Rt
MCR p15, 0, &lt;Rt&gt;, c6, c8+n[3:1], 4*n[0] ; Write Rt into PRBARn

To access PRLARn, where n is referenced as a binary number:

MRC p15, 0, &lt;Rt&gt;, c6, c8+n[3:1], 4*n[0]+1 ; Read PRLARn into Rt
MCR p15, 0, &lt;Rt&gt;, c6, c8+n[3:1], 4*n[0]+1 ; Write Rt into PRLARn

For PR{B,L}AR4, n is 4, n[0] is 0, n[3:1] is 2, while current encoding
done with n[0] set to 1 which is wrong. Use proper encoding instead.

arm64 has got relaxation on GIC version check at early boot stage due
to update of the GIC architecture let's align ARM with that.

<title>ARM: 8847/1: pm: fix HYP/SVC mode mismatch when MCPM is used</title>

MCPM does a soft reset of the CPUs and uses common cpu_resume() routine to
perform low-level platform initialization. This results in a try to install
HYP stubs for the second time for each CPU and results in false HYP/SVC
mode mismatch detection. The HYP stubs are already installed at the
beginning of the kernel initialization on the boot CPU (head.S) or in the
secondary_startup() for other CPUs. To fix this issue MCPM code should use
a cpu_resume() routine without HYP stubs installation.

This change fixes HYP/SVC mode mismatch on Samsung Exynos5422-based Odroid
XU3/XU4/HC1 boards.

Use unified assembler syntax (UAL) in assembly files. Divided
syntax is considered deprecated. This will also allow to build
the kernel using LLVM's integrated assembler.
