Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot jails. This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to access TEEHBR.

If a bank of memory spanning the 4GB boundary is added on a !CONFIG_LPAE kernel then we will hang early during boot since the memory bank will have wrapped around to zero. This patch truncates memory banks for !LPAE configurations when the end address is not representable in 32 bits.

During booting of cpu1, there is a short window where cpu1 is online, but not active where cpu1 is occupied by waiting to become active. If cpu0 then decides to schedule something on cpu1 and wait for it to complete, before cpu0 has set cpu1 active, we have a deadlock. Typically it's this CPU frequency transition that happens at this time, so let's just not wait for it to happen, it will happen whenever the CPU eventually comes online instead.

Commit 94e5a85b ("ARM: earlier initialization of vectors page") made it the responsibility of paging_init to initialise the vectors page. This patch adds a call to early_trap_init for the !CONFIG_MMU case, placing the vectors at CONFIG_VECTORS_BASE.

atags_to_fdt() returns 1 when it fails to find a valid FDT signature. The CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT code is supposed to retry with another location, but only does so when the initial call doesn't fail. Fix this by using the correct condition in the assembly code.

The AMBA bus regulator support is being used to model on/off switches for power domains which isn't terribly idiomatic for modern kernels with the generic power domain code and creates integration problems on platforms which don't use regulators for their power domains as it's hard to tell the difference between a regulator that is needed but failed to be provided and one that isn't supposed to be there (though DT does make that easier). Platforms that wish to use the regulator API to manage their power domains can indirect via the power domain interface. This feature is only used with the vape supply of the db8500 PRCMU driver which supplies the UARTs and MMC controllers, none of which have support for managing vcore at runtime in mainline (only pl022 SPI controller does). Update that supply to have an always_on constraint until the power domain support for the system is updated so that it is enabled for these users, this is likely to have no impact on practical systems as probably at least one of these devices will be active and cause AMBA to hold the supply on anyway.

handle_IRQ may briefly cause interrupts to be re-enabled during soft IRQ processing on the exit path, leading to nested handling of VIC interrupts. Since the current code does not re-read the VIC_IRQ_STATUS register, this can lead to multiple invocations of the same interrupt handler and spurious interrupts to be reported. This patch changes the VIC interrupt dispatching code to re-read the status register each time, avoiding duplicate invocations of the same handler.

commit 8878a539 was done by me to make the page fault handler retryable as well as interruptible. Due to this commit, there is a mistake in the way in which tsk->[maj|min]_flt counter gets incremented for VM_FAULT_ERROR: If VM_FAULT_ERROR is returned in the fault flags by handle_mm_fault, then either maj_flt or min_flt will get incremented. This is wrong as in the case of a VM_FAULT_ERROR we need to be skip ahead to the error handling code in do_page_fault. Added a check after the call to __do_page_fault() to check for (fault & VM_FAULT_ERROR).

Commit f02e8a65 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section. This sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker. Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o (which is not linked yet) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet). These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure. [ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the problem, copied from commit 62a26356 ("modpost: Fix modpost's license checking V3"). That commit fixed the problem for module object files, but not for vmlinux.o. This patch fixes modpost for vmlinux.o. ] Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: Alessio Igor Bogani <abogani@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The task handoff notifier leaks task_struct since it never gets freed after the callback returns NOTIFY_OK, which means it is responsible for doing so. It turns out the lowmemorykiller actually doesn't need this notifier at all. It's used to prevent unnecessary killing by waiting for a thread to exit as a result of lowmem_shrink(), however, it's possible to do this in the same way the kernel oom killer works by setting TIF_MEMDIE and avoid killing if we're still waiting for it to exit. The kernel oom killer will already automatically set TIF_MEMDIE for threads that are attempting to allocate memory that have a fatal signal. The thread selected by lowmem_shrink() will have such a signal after the lowmemorykiller sends it a SIGKILL, so this won't result in an unnecessary use of memory reserves for the thread to exit. This has the added benefit that we don't have to rely on CONFIG_PROFILING to prevent needlessly killing tasks.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout cases, because calling that function in that context would free memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing. This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses them. This is preparation for that. This moves them into an architecture-specific header file. It's architecture-specific for two reasons: - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific implementations. Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast bit count instruction, for example. - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in particular the actual unaligned accesses). So we're likely to have more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using this. (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the right thing to do, of course) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Fix from Eric Dumazet. 11) do_tcp_sendpage() unloads the send queue way too fast, because it invokes tcp_push() when it shouldn't. Let the natural sequence generated by the splice paths, and the assosciated MSG_MORE settings, guide the tcp_push() calls. Otherwise what goes out of TCP is spaghetti and doesn't batch effectively into GSO/TSO clusters. From Eric Dumazet. 12) Once we put a SKB into either the netlink receiver's queue or a socket error queue, it can be consumed and freed up, therefore we cannot touch it after queueing it like that. Fixes from Eric Dumazet. 13) PPP has this annoying behavior in that for every transmit call it immediately stops the TX queue, then calls down into the next layer to transmit the PPP frame. But if that next layer can take it immediately, it just un-stops the TX queue right before returning from the transmit method. Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in particular things like the equalizers. Well behaved devices should only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case when it gets backlogged to the downstream device. David Woodhouse therefore fixed PPP to not stop the TX queue until it's downstream can't take data any more. 14) IFF_UNICAST_FLT got accidently lost in some recent stmmac driver changes, re-add.

Prior to 2.6.19 and as of 2.6.31, pci_enable_msix() can return a positive value to indicate the number of vectors (less than the amount requested) that can be set up for a given device. Returning this as an operation value (secondary result) is fine, but (primary) operation results are expected to be negative (error) or zero (success) according to the protocol. With the frontend fixed to match the XenoLinux behavior, the backend can now validly return zero (success) here, passing the upper limit on the number of vectors in op->value.

That function calls mp_find_ioapics to get the 'struct ioapic' structure - which along with the mp_irq[x] is used to figure out the default values and the polarity/trigger overrides. Since the mp_find_ioapics now returns -1 [b/c the IOAPIC is filled with 0xffffffff], the acpi_get_override_irq() stops trying to lookup in the mp_irq[x] the proper INT_SRV_OVR and we can't install the SCI interrupt. The proper fix for this is going in v3.5 and adds an x86_io_apic_ops struct so that platforms can override it. But for v3.4 lets carry this work-around. This patch does that by providing a slightly different variant of the fake IOAPIC entries. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
