      We don't really need to get the platform irq again when we're
      enabling or disabling the per-cpu irq. Furthermore, we don't
      really need to set and clear bits in the active_irqs bitmask
      because that's only used in the non-percpu irq case to figure out
      when the last CPU PMU has been disabled. Just pass the irq
      directly to the enable/disable functions to clean all this up.
      This should be slightly more efficient and also fix the
      scheduling while atomic bug.

      ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec · fbfb872f
      Nathan Lynch authored
      The TPIDRURO and TPIDRURW registers need to be flushed during exec;
      otherwise TLS information is potentially leaked.  TPIDRURO in
      particular needs careful treatment.  Since flush_thread basically
      needs the same code used to set the TLS in arm_syscall, pull that into
      a common set_tls helper in tls.h and use it in both places.
      
      Similarly, TEEHBR needs to be cleared during exec as well.  Clearing
      its save slot in thread_info isn't right as there is no guarantee
      that a thread switch will occur before the new program runs.  Just
      setting the register directly is sufficient.

      Previous commits that dealt with get_user for 64bit type missed to
      export proper functions, so if get_user macro with particular target/value
      types are used by kernel module modpost would produce 'undefined!' error.
      Solution is to export all required functions.

      ARM: 8133/1: use irq_set_affinity with force=false when migrating irqs · a040803a
      Sudeep Holla authored
      Since commit 1dbfa187 ("ARM: irq migration: force migration off CPU
      going down") the ARM interrupt migration code on cpu offline calls
      irqchip.irq_set_affinity() with the argument force=true. At the point
      of this change the argument had no effect because it was not used by
      any interrupt chip driver and there was no semantics defined.
      
      This changed with commit 01f8fa4f ("genirq: Allow forcing cpu
      affinity of interrupts") which made the force argument useful to route
      interrupts to not yet online cpus without checking the target cpu
      against the cpu online mask. The following commit ffde1de6
      ("irqchip: gic: Support forced affinity setting") implemented this for
      the GIC interrupt controller.
      
      As a consequence the ARM cpu offline irq migration fails if CPU0 is
      offlined, because CPU0 is still set in the affinity mask and the
      validataion against cpu online mask is skipped to the force argument
      being true. The following first_cpu(mask) selection always selects
      CPU0 as the target.
      
      Solve the issue by calling irq_set_affinity() with force=false from
      the CPU offline irq migration code so the GIC driver validates the
      affinity mask against CPU online mask and therefore removes CPU0 from
      the possible target candidates.
      
      Tested on TC2 hotpluging CPU0 in and out. Without this patch the system
      locks up as the IRQs are not migrated away from CPU0.

      ARM: LPAE: drop wrong carry flag correction after adding TTBR1_OFFSET
      
      In commit 7fb00c2f ("ARM: 8114/1: LPAE:
      load upper bits of early TTBR0/TTBR1") part which fixes carrying in adding
      TTBR1_OFFSET to TTRR1 was wrong:
      
              addls   ttbr1, ttbr1, #TTBR1_OFFSET
              adcls   tmp, tmp, #0
      
      addls doesn't update flags, adcls adds carry from cmp above:
      
              cmp     ttbr1, tmp                    @ PHYS_OFFSET > PAGE_OFFSET?
      
      Condition 'ls' means carry flag is clear or zero flag is set, thus only one
      case is affected: when PHYS_OFFSET == PAGE_OFFSET.
      
      It seems safer to remove this fixup. Bug is here for ages and nobody
      complained. Let's fix it separately.

      ARM: 8130/1: cpuidle/cpuidle-big_little: fix reading cpu id part number · eba1c718
      Juri Lelli authored
      Commit af040ffc ("ARM: make it easier to check the CPU part number
      correctly") changed ARM_CPU_PART_X masks, and the way they are returned and
      checked against. Usage of read_cpuid_part_number() is now deprecated, and
      calling places updated accordingly. This actually broke cpuidle-big_little
      initialization, as bl_idle_driver_init() performs a check using an hardcoded
      mask on cpu_id.
      
      Create an interface to perform the check (that is now even easier to read).
      Define also a proper mask (ARM_CPU_PART_MASK) that makes this kind of checks
      cleaner and helps preventing bugs in the future. Update usage accordingly.

      ARM: 8129/1: errata: work around Cortex-A15 erratum 830321 using dummy strex · 2c32c65e
      Mark Rutland authored
      On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may
      falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts
      during exception return and/or livelock.
      
      This patch resolves the issue in the following ways:
      
        - Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as
          we did for v6 CPUs).
      
        - Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives,
          since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when
          non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these).
      
      Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable
      performance difference with this change applied, so the change is
      performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.

      ARM: 8128/1: abort: don't clear the exclusive monitors · 85868313
      Mark Rutland authored
      The ARMv6 and ARMv7 early abort handlers clear the exclusive monitors
      upon entry to the kernel, but this is redundant:
      
        - We clear the monitors on every exception return since commit
          200b812d ("Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an
          exception"), so this is not necessary to ensure the monitors are
          cleared before returning from a fault handler.
      
        - Any dummy STREX will target a temporary scratch area in memory, and
          may succeed or fail without corrupting useful data. Its status value
          will not be used.
      
        - Any other STREX in the kernel must be preceded by an LDREX, which
          will initialise the monitors consistently and will not depend on the
          earlier state of the monitors.
      
      Therefore we have no reason to care about the initial state of the
      exclusive monitors when a data abort is taken, and clearing the monitors
      prior to exception return (as we already do) is sufficient.
      
      This patch removes the redundant clearing of the exclusive monitors from
      the early abort handlers.

      ARM: 8127/1: module: add support for R_ARM_TARGET1 relocations · 55f0fb6a
      Andrey Ryabinin authored
      Kernel module build with GCOV profiling fails to load with the
      following error:
      
       $ insmod test_module.ko
         test_module: unknown relocation: 38
         insmod: can't insert 'test_module.ko': invalid module format
      
      This happens because constructor pointers in the .init_array section
      have not supported R_ARM_TARGET1 relocation type.
      
      Documentation (ELF for the ARM Architecture) says:
          "The relocation must be processed either in the same way as R_ARM_REL32 or
           as R_ARM_ABS32: a virtual platform must specify which method is used."
      
      Since kernel expects to see absolute addresses in .init_array R_ARM_TARGET1
      relocation type should be treated the same way as R_ARM_ABS32.

      Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt:
       "The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
        separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
        the function and function_graph tracers.
      
        The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers
        having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
        set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code).  The design assumed that
        the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can
        be used at a time.  The problem with this assumption was that the
        function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph
        tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the
        function tracer.  This caused the assumption to be broken and when
        ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty
        warning and shut itself down.
      
        Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the
        function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use
        their own ftrace_ops.  But instead of having a complex hierarchy of
        ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the
        ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter.  This change took a bit
        to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can
        share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to
        allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.
      
        The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
        to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).
      
        The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
        but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a
        direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but
        will in the future.  It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be
        fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls
        to the function_graph trampoline"

      Heiko Stuebner authored
      During the restructuring of the Rockchip Cortex-A9 dtsi files it seems
      like the pinctrl settings vanished at some point from the mmc0 support.
      
      This of course renders them unusable, so readd the necessary pinctrl
      properties.

      ftrace: Use current addr when converting to nop in __ftrace_replace_code() · 39b5552c
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      In __ftrace_replace_code(), when converting the call to a nop in a function
      it needs to compare against the "curr" (current) value of the ftrace ops, and
      not the "new" one. It currently does not affect x86 which is the only arch
      to do the trampolines with function graph tracer, but when other archs that do
      depend on this code implement the function graph trampoline, it can crash.
      
      Here's an example when ARM uses the trampolines (in the future):

      ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together · 5f151b24
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
      the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
      share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
      the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
      would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
      were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
      itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
      currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
      it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.
      
      The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
      and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
      This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
      function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
      The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
      tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
      will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
      cause a kernel oops).
      
      To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
      for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
      multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
      and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
      share the hash, which is what is done.
      
      Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
      again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
      is active.
