Pull clock framework updates from Mike Turquette:
 "The clock framework changes contain the usual driver additions,
  enhancements and fixes mostly for ARM32, ARM64, MIPS and Power-based
  devices.

  Additionally the framework core underwent a bit of surgery with two
  major changes:

   - The boundary between the clock core and clock providers (e.g clock
     drivers) is now more well defined with dedicated provider helper
     functions.  struct clk no longer maps 1:1 with the hardware clock
     but is a true per-user cookie which helps us tracker users of
     hardware clocks and debug bad behavior.

   - The addition of rate constraints for clocks.  Rate ranges are now
     supported which are analogous to the voltage ranges in the
     regulator framework.

  Unfortunately these changes to the core created some breakeage.  We
  think we fixed it all up but for this reason there are lots of last
  minute commits trying to undo the damage"

kexec: add IND_FLAGS macro

2015-02-17T22:34:51+00:00

Add a new kexec preprocessor macro IND_FLAGS, which is the bitwise OR of
all the possible kexec IND_ kimage_entry indirection flags.  Having this
macro allows for simplified code in the prosessing of the kexec
kimage_entry items.  Also, remove the local powerpc definition and use the
generic one.

powerpc: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:36+00:00

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

* Spurious if (len > 1) test dropped from shared_cpu_map_show().

powerpc: add running_clock for powerpc to prevent spurious softlockup warnings

2015-02-13T02:54:13+00:00

On POWER8 virtualised kernels the VTB register can be read to have a view
of time that only increases while the guest is running.  This will prevent
guests from seeing time jump if a guest is paused for significant amounts
of time.

On POWER7 and below virtualised kernels stolen time is subtracted from
local_clock as a best effort approximation.  This will not eliminate
spurious warnings in the case of a suspended guest but may reduce the
occurance in the case of softlockups due to host over commit.

Bare metal kernels should avoid reading the VTB as KVM does not restore
sane values when not executing, the approxmation is fine as host kernels
won't observe any stolen time.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

powerpc/kernel: Avoid initializing device-tree pointer twice

2015-02-02T03:51:32+00:00

As commit 50ba08f3 ("of/fdt: Don't clear initial_boot_params
if fdt_check_header() fails") does, the device-tree pointer
"initial_boot_params" is initialized by early_init_dt_verify(),
which is called by early_init_devtree(). So we needn't explicitly
initialize that again in early_init_devtree().

powerpc: Remove old compile time disabled syscall tracing code

2015-02-02T03:51:32+00:00

We have code to do syscall tracing which is disabled at compile time by
default. It's not been touched since the dawn of time (ie. v2.6.12).

There are now better ways to do syscall tracing, ie. using the
raw_syscall, or syscall tracepoints.

For the specific case of tracing syscalls at boot on a system that
doesn't get to userspace, you can boot with:

  trace_event=syscalls tp_printk=on

Which will trace syscalls from boot, and echo all output to the console.
