      ARM: 7403/1: tls: remove covert channel via TPIDRURW · 6a1c5312
      Will Deacon authored 
      TPIDRURW is a user read/write register forming part of the group of
thread registers in more recent versions of the ARM architecture (~v6+).

Currently, the kernel does not touch this register, which allows tasks
to communicate covertly by reading and writing to the register without
context-switching affecting its contents.

This patch clears TPIDRURW when TPIDRURO is updated via the set_tls
macro, which is called directly from __switch_to. Since the current
behaviour makes the register useless to userspace as far as thread
pointers are concerned, simply clearing the register (rather than saving
and restoring it) will not cause any problems to userspace.

      ARM: OMAP: fix DMA vs memory ordering · 35453584
      Russell King authored 
      Using coherent DMA memory with the OMAP DMA engine results in
unpredictable behaviour due to memory ordering issues; as things stand,
there is no guarantee that data written to coherent DMA memory will be
visible to the DMA hardware.

This is because the OMAP dma_write() accessor contains no barriers,
necessary on ARMv6 and above.  The effect of this can be seen in comments
in the OMAP serial driver, which incorrectly talks about cache flushing
for the coherent DMA stuff.

Rather than adding barriers to the accessors, add it in the DMA support
code just before we enable DMA, and just after we disable DMA.  This
avoids having barriers for every DMA register access.

      ARM: 7390/1: dts: versatile-pb/ab fix MMC IRQs · 754aba43
      Linus Walleij authored 
      The MMCI driver will not work without two IRQs since this is not
flagged as a single-irq variant. Looking through the complex IRQ
definition for the MMCI on the versatile (including an #if 1
statement forcing MMCI IRQ0 to the VIC) this appears to the the
correct IRQ number for both models.

      ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits on entry to sig handler · ff9a184c
      Will Deacon authored 
      The ARM PCS mandates that the length and stride bits of the fpscr are
cleared on entry to and return from a public interface. Although signal
handlers run asynchronously with respect to the interrupted function,
the handler itself expects to run as though it has been called like a
normal function.

This patch updates the state mirroring the VFP hardware before entry to
a signal handler so that it adheres to the PCS. Furthermore, we disable
VFP to ensure that we trap on any floating point operation performed by
the signal handler and synchronise the hardware appropriately. A check
is inserted after the signal handler to avoid redundant flushing if VFP
was not used.

      ARM: 7399/1: vfp: move user vfp state save/restore code out of signal.c · 2498814f
      Will Deacon authored 
      The user VFP state must be preserved (subject to ucontext modifications)
across invocation of a signal handler and this is currently handled by
vfp_{preserve,restore}_context in signal.c

Since this code requires intimate low-level knowledge of the VFP state,
this patch moves it into vfpmodule.c.

      ARM: 7396/1: errata: only handle ARM erratum #326103 on affected cores · f0c4b8d6
      Will Deacon authored 
      Erratum #326103 ("FSR write bit incorrect on a SWP to read-only memory")
only affects the ARM 1136 core prior to r1p0. The workaround
disassembles the faulting instruction to determine whether it was a read
or write access on all v6 cores.

An issue has been reported on the ARM 11MPCore whereby loading the
faulting instruction may happen in parallel with that page being
unmapped, resulting in a deadlock due to the lack of TLB broadcasting
in hardware:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-March/091561.html

This patch limits the workaround so that it is only used on affected
cores, which are known to be UP only. Other v6 cores can rely on the
FSR to indicate the access type correctly.

      powerpc/mpic: Properly set default triggers · 446f6d06
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the
incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for
the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt.

This in turn makes us read the HW state and update the irq desc
accordingly.

      irq: Add IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for use by PIC drivers · 3fca40c7
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      This is meant typically to allow a PIC driver's irq domain map() callback
to establish sane defaults for the interrupt (and make sure that the HW
and the irq_desc are in sync as far as the trigger is concerned).

The irq core may not call the set_trigger callback if it thinks the
trigger is already set to the right setting, so we need to ensure new
descriptors are properly synchronized with the hardware.

      mpic_is_ipi() takes a virq and immediately converts it to a hw_irq.

However, one of the two call sites calls it with a ... hw_irq. The
other call site also happens to have the hw_irq at hand, so let's
change it to just take that as an argument. Also change mpic_is_tm()
for consistency.

      powerpc/pmac: Don't add_timer() twice · 3027691e
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      If the interrupt and the timeout happen roughly at the same
time, we can get into a situation where the timer function
is run while the interrupt has already been processed. In
this case, the timer function might end up doing an add_timer
on an already pending timer, causing a BUG_ON() to trigger.

Instead, just skip the whole timeout operation if we see that
the timer is pending. The spinlock ensures that the only way
that happens is if we already started a new operation and thus
the timeout can be ignored.

      powerpc/eeh: Fix crash caused by null eeh_dev · 2ef822c5
      Gavin Shan authored 
      The problem was reported by Anton Blanchard. While EEH error
happened to the PCI device without the corresponding device
driver, kernel crash was seen. Eventually, I successfully
reproduced the problem on Firebird-L machine with utility
"errinjct". Initially, the device driver for Emulex ethernet
MAC has been disabled from .config and force data parity on
the Emulex ethernet MAC with help of "errinjct". Eventually,
I saw the kernel crash after issueing couple of "lspci -v"
command.

The root cause behind is that the PCI device, including the
reference to the corresponding eeh device, will be removed
from the system while EEH does recovery. Afterwards, the
PCI device will be probed again and added into the system
accordingly. So it's not safe to retrieve the eeh device from
the corresponding PCI device after the PCI device has been removed
and not added again.

The patch fixes the issue and retrieve the eeh device from OF node
instead of PCI device after the PCI device has been removed.
