      ARM: 7302/1: Add TLB flushing for both entries in a PMD · 6d3ec1ae
      Catalin Marinas authored
      Linux uses two PMD entries for a PTE with the classic page table format,
      covering 2MB range. However, the __pte_free_tlb() function only adds a
      single TLB flush corresponding to 1MB range covering 'addr'. On
      Cortex-A15, level 1 entries can be cached by the TLB independently of
      the level 2 entries and without additional flushing a PMD entry would be
      left pointing at the wrong PTE. The patch limits the TLB flushing range
      to two 4KB pages around the 1MB boundary within PMD.

      ARM: 7303/1: perf: add empty NODE event definitions for Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A15 · 91756acb
      Will Deacon authored
      Commit 89d6c0b5 ("perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache events") added
      empty NODE event definitions for the ARM PMU implementations. This was
      merged along with Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A15 PMU support, so they missed
      out on the original patch.
      
      This patch adds the empty definitions to Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A15.

      ARM: 7308/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before copying ptrace registers · 8130b9d7
      Will Deacon authored
      If we are context switched whilst copying into a thread's
      vfp_hard_struct then the partial copy may be corrupted by the VFP
      context switching code (see "ARM: vfp: flush thread hwstate before
      restoring context from sigframe").
      
      This patch updates the ptrace VFP set code so that the thread state is
      flushed before the copy, therefore disabling VFP and preventing
      corruption from occurring.

      ARM: 7307/1: vfp: fix ptrace regset modification race · 247f4993
      Dave Martin authored
      In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the
      hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is
      being read and modified.  This leads to a race condition which can
      cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context
      save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate
      is read and the time the modified state is written back.
      
      This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a
      ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread.
      Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios --
      none has been reported, so far as I am aware.  Only uniprocessor
      systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently
      lazy in SMP kernels.
      
      The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use
      regsets to implement ptrace.
      
      This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading
      thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not
      live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified.
      
      Thanks to Will Deacon for spotting this.

      ARM: 7306/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before restoring context from sigframe · 2af276df
      Will Deacon authored
      Following execution of a signal handler, we currently restore the VFP
      context from the ucontext in the signal frame. This involves copying
      from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then
      flushing the new data out to the hardware registers.
      
      This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be
      context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current
      thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP
      notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct,
      overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code.
      
      Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so
      instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the
      vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the
      effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer,
      therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on
      the next context switch.

      Russell King authored
      This reverts commit 3c424f35.
      
      Joachim Eastwood reports:
      | "ARM: 7304/1: ioremap: fix boundary check when reusing static mapping"
      | Commit: 3c424f35 in Linus master
      |
      | Breaks booting on my custom AT91RM9200 board.
      | There isn't any error messages or anything that indicates what goes
      | wrong it just stops after; Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the
      | kernel.
      |
      | Reverting it makes my board boot again.
      
      and further debugging reveals:
      
      ioremap: pfn=fffff phys=fffff000 offset=400 size=1000
      ioremap: area c3ffdfc0: phys_addr=200000 pfn=200 size=4000
      ioremap: found: addr fef74000 => fed73000 => fed73400
      
      Clearly, an area for pfn 0x200, 16K can't ever satisfy a request for pfn
      0xfffff.  This happens because the changed if statement becomes:
      
                      if (0x00200 > 0xfffff ||
                          0xfffff000 + 0x400 + 0x1000-1 > 0x00200000 + 0x4000-1)
      and therefore:
                      if (0x00200 > 0xfffff ||
                          0x000003ff > 0x00203fff)
      
      The if condition fails, and so we _believe_ that the SRAM mapping fits
      our request.  Clearly that's totally bogus.
      
      Moreover, the original premise of the 'fix' patch was wrong:
      |    The condition checking boundaries of the requested and existing
      |    mappings didn't take in-page offset into consideration though,
      |    which lead to obscure and hard to debug problems when requested
      |    mapping crossed end of the static one.
      
      as the code immediately above this loop does:
      
              size = PAGE_ALIGN(offset + size);
      
      so 'size' already contains the requested offset into the page.
      
      So, revert the broken 'fix'.

      MFD: ucb1x00-ts: fix resume failure · 0af5e4c3
      Russell King authored
      If the ucb1x00 touchscreen is resumed while the touchscreen is being
      touched, the main thread stops responding.  This occurs because two
      things happen:
      
      1. When we suspended, we were woken up, and executed the loop.
         Finding that the touchscreen was not pressed, we prepare to
         schedule for a maximum timeout, before being stopped in
         try_to_freeze().
      
      2. an irq occurs, we disable the irq, and mark it as disabled,
         and wake the thread.  This wake occurs while the thread is
         still within __refrigerator()
      
      3. The thread is unfrozen, and __refrigerator() sets the threads
         state back to INTERRUPTIBLE.
      
      We then drop into schedule_timeout() with an infinite timeout and the
      IRQ disabled.  This prevents any further screen touches activating
      the thread.
      
      Fix this by using kthread_freezable_should_stop() which handles the
      freezing issues for us outside of the hotspot where the task state
      matters.  Include a flag to ignore the touchscreen until it is
      released to avoid sending unintended data to the application.

      MFD: mcp-core: fix complaints from the genirq layer · 98250221
      Russell King authored
      The genirq layer complains if an interrupt handler returns with
      interrupts enabled.  The UCB1x00 handler does just this, because
      ucb1x00_enable() calls mcp_enable(), which uses spin_lock_irq()
      rather than spin_lock_irqsave().  Convert this, and the divisor
      setting functions to use spin_lock_irqsave().

      This reverts commit 5dd7bf59.
      
      Conflicts:
      
      	scripts/mod/file2alias.c
      
      This change is wrong on many levels.  First and foremost, it causes a
      regression.  On boot on Assabet, which this patch gives a codec id of
      'ucb1x00', it gives:
      
      	ucb1x00 ID not found: 1005
      
      0x1005 is a valid ID for the UCB1300 device.
      
      Secondly, this patch is way over the top in terms of complexity.  The
      only device which has been seen to be connected with this MCP code is
      the UCB1x00 (UCB1200, UCB1300 etc) devices, and they all use the same
      driver.  Adding a match table, requiring the codec string to match the
      hardware ID read out of the ID register, etc is completely over the top
      when we can just read the hardware ID register.
