ac919f0883 metag: Traps
Add trap code for metag. At the lowest level Meta traps (and return from
interrupt instruction - RTI) simply swap the PC and PCX registers and
optionally toggle the interrupt status bit (ISTAT). Low level TBX code
in tbipcx.S handles the core context save, determine the TBX signal
number based on the core trigger that fired (using the TXSTATI status
register), and call TBX signal handlers (mostly in traps.c) via a vector
table.

a2c5d4ed92 metag: Time keeping
Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers.
The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.

bc3966bf15 metag: ptrace
The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.

struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.

struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.

struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.

Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.

373cd784d0 metag: Memory handling
Meta has instructions for accessing:
 - bytes        - GETB (1 byte)
 - words        - GETW (2 bytes)
 - doublewords  - GETD (4 bytes)
 - longwords    - GETL (8 bytes)

All accesses must be aligned. Unaligned accesses can be detected and
made to fault on Meta2, however it isn't possible to fix up unaligned
writes so we don't bother fixing up reads either.

This patch adds metag memory handling code including:
 - I/O memory (io.h, ioremap.c): Actually any virtual memory can be
   accessed with these helpers. A part of the non-MMUable address space
   is used for memory mapped I/O. The ioremap() function is implemented
   one to one for non-MMUable addresses.
 - User memory (uaccess.h, usercopy.c): User memory is directly
   accessible from privileged code.
 - Kernel memory (maccess.c): probe_kernel_write() needs to be
   overwridden to use the I/O functions when doing a simple aligned
   write to non-writecombined memory, otherwise the write may be split
   by the generic version.

Note that due to the fact that a portion of the virtual address space is
non-MMUable, and therefore always maps directly to the physical address
space, metag specific I/O functions are made available (metag_in32,
metag_out32 etc). These cast the address argument to a pointer so that
they can be used with raw physical addresses. These accessors are only
to be used for accessing fixed core Meta architecture registers in the
non-MMU region, and not for any SoC/peripheral registers.

f5df8e268f metag: Memory management
Add memory management files for metag.

Meta's 32bit virtual address space is split into two halves:
 - local (0x08000000-0x7fffffff): traditionally local to a hardware
   thread and incoherent between hardware threads. Each hardware thread
   has it's own local MMU table. On Meta2 the local space can be
   globally coherent (GCOn) if the cache partitions coincide.
 - global (0x88000000-0xffff0000): coherent and traditionally global
   between hardware threads. On Meta2, each hardware thread has it's own
   global MMU table.

The low 128MiB of each half is non-MMUable and maps directly to the
physical address space:
 - 0x00010000-0x07ffffff: contains Meta core registers and maps SoC bus
 - 0x80000000-0x87ffffff: contains low latency global core memories

Linux usually further splits the local virtual address space like this:
 - 0x08000000-0x3fffffff: user mappings
 - 0x40000000-0x7fffffff: kernel mappings

99ef7c2ac1 metag: Cache/TLB handling
Add cache and TLB handling code for metag, including the required
callbacks used by MM switches and DMA operations. Caches can be
partitioned between the hardware threads and the global space, however
this is usually configured by the bootloader so Linux doesn't make any
changes to this configuration. TLBs aren't configurable, so only need
consideration to flush them.

On Meta1 the L1 cache was VIVT which required a full flush on MM switch.
Meta2 has a VIPT L1 cache so it doesn't require the full flush on MM
switch. Meta2 can also have a writeback L2 with hardware prefetch which
requires some special handling. Support is optional, and the L2 can be
detected and initialised by Linux.

85d9d7a920 metag: Boot
Add boot code for metag. Due to the multi-threaded nature of Meta it is
not uncommon for an RTOS or bare metal application to be started on
other hardware threads by the bootloader. Since there is a single MMU
switch which affects all threads, the MMU is traditionally configured by
the bootloader prior to starting Linux. The bootloader passes a
structure to Linux which among other things contains information about
memory regions which have been mapped. Linux then assumes control of the
local heap memory region.

A kernel arguments string pointer or a flattened device tree pointer can
be provided in the third argument.

c19fa94a8f Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
On 64 bit architectures with no efficient unaligned access, padding and
explicit alignment must be added in various places to prevent unaligned
64bit accesses (such as taskstats and trace ring buffer).

However this also needs to apply to 32 bit architectures with 64 bit
accesses requiring alignment such as metag.

This is solved by adding a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
which defaults to 64BIT && !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, and can be
explicitly selected by METAG and any other relevant architectures. This
can be used in various places to determine whether 64bit alignment is
required.

1de63d60cd efi: Clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES rather than EFI_BOOT by "noefi" boot parameter
There was a serious problem in samsung-laptop that its platform driver is
designed to run under BIOS and running under EFI can cause the machine to
become bricked or can cause Machine Check Exceptions.

    Discussion about this problem:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

    The patches to fix this problem:
    efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities
    83e6818974

    samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware
    e0094244e4

Unfortunately this problem comes back again if users specify "noefi" option.
This parameter clears EFI_BOOT and that driver continues to run even if running
under EFI. Refer to the document, this parameter should clear
EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES instead.

Petr says: "
 I've analysed the bug and I think that xen_iret() cannot cope with
 mangled DS, in this case zeroed out (null selector/descriptor) by either
 xen_failsafe_callback() or RESTORE_REGS because the corresponding LDT
 entry was invalidated by the reproducer. "

Jan took a look at the preliminary patch and came up a fix that solves
this problem:

"This code gets called after all registers other than those handled by
IRET got already restored, hence a null selector in %ds or a non-null
one that got loaded from a code or read-only data descriptor would
cause a kernel mode fault (with the potential of crashing the kernel
as a whole, if panic_on_oops is set)."

The way to fix this is to realize that the we can only relay on the
registers that IRET restores. The two that are guaranteed are the
%cs and %ss as they are always fixed GDT selectors. Also they are
inaccessible from user mode - so they cannot be altered. This is
the approach taken in this patch.

Another alternative option suggested by Jan would be to relay on
the subtle realization that using the %ebp or %esp relative references uses
the %ss segment.  In which case we could switch from using %eax to %ebp and
would not need the %ss over-rides. That would also require one extra
instruction to compensate for the one place where the register is used
as scaled index. However Andrew pointed out that is too subtle and if
further work was to be done in this code-path it could escape folks attention
and lead to accidents.

Mostly mirrors the s390 logic, as unlike x86 we don't need the

On sparc64 we also lack a user/privileged bit in the huge PMDs.

In order to make this work for THP and non-THP builds, some header
file adjustments were necessary.  Namely, provide the PMD_HUGE_* bit
defines and the pmd_large() inline unconditionally rather than
protected by TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.

The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD.  If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.

This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.

Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.

cb214ede76 x86/apic: Work around boot failure on HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server systems
When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel,
there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could
result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss.

The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical
mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default
setting.

This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or
"nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system
without requiring manual workarounds.

The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table.
As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the
control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec,
chapter 2.9.

Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode
enabled:

When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL:

1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical
   or xapic phys driver at first.

2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode.

3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe()
   will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode.
   Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to
   take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT
   indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check
   FADT PHYSICAL.

Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the
problem.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
 "I was going to hold these off until v3.8 was out, and send them with a
  stable tag, but as everyone else is pushing much bigger fixes which
  Linus is accepting, let's save people from the hastle of having to
  patch v3.8 back into working or use a stable kernel.

  Looking at the diffstat, this really is high value for its size; this
  is miniscule compared to how the -rc6 to tip diffstat currently looks.

  So, four patches in this set:
   - Punit Agrawal reports that the kernel no longer boots on MPCore due
     to a new assumption made in the GIC code which isn't true of
     earlier GIC designs.  This is the biggest change in this set.
   - Punit's boot log also revealed a bunch of WARN_ON() dumps caused by
     the DT-ification of the GIC support without fixing up non-DT
     Realview - which now sees a greater number of interrupts than it
     did before.
   - A fix for the DMA coherent code from Marek which uses the wrong
     check for atomic allocations; this can result in spinlock lockups
     or other nasty effects.
   - A fix from Will, which will affect all Android based platforms if
     not applied (which use the 2G:2G VM split) - this causes
     particularly 'make' to misbehave unless this bug is fixed."

79d1f5c9ac ARM: 7641/1: memory: fix broken mmap by ensuring TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is aligned
We have received multiple reports of mmap failures when running with a
2:2 vm split. These manifest as either -EINVAL with a non page-aligned
address (ending 0xaaa) or a SEGV, depending on the application. The
issue is commonly observed in children of make, which appears to use
bottom-up mmap (assumedly because it changes the stack rlimit).

Further investigation reveals that this regression was triggered by
394ef6403a ("mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on arm architecture"), whereby
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is no longer page-aligned for bottom-up mmap, causing
get_unmapped_area to choke on misaligned addressed.

This patch fixes the problem by defining TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in terms of
TASK_SIZE and explicitly aligns the result to 16M, matching the other
end of the heap.

This happens because the DMA allocation code is not respecting atomic
allocations correctly.

GFP flags should not be tested for GFP_ATOMIC to determine if an
atomic allocation is being requested.  GFP_ATOMIC is not a flag but
a value.  The GFP bitmask flags are all prefixed with __GFP_.

The rest of the kernel tests for __GFP_WAIT not being set to indicate
an atomic allocation.  We need to do the same.

Some early GIC implementations return zero for the first distributor
CPU routing register.  This means we can't rely on that telling us
which CPU interface we're connected to.  We know that these platforms
implement PPIs for IRQs 29-31 - but we shouldn't assume that these
will always be populated.

So, instead, scan for a non-zero CPU routing register in the first
32 IRQs and use that as our CPU mask.

e575a86fdc x86: Do not leak kernel page mapping locations
Without this patch, it is trivial to determine kernel page
mappings by examining the error code reported to dmesg[1].
Instead, declare the entire kernel memory space as a violation
of a present page.

Additionally, since show_unhandled_signals is enabled by
default, switch branch hinting to the more realistic
expectation, and unobfuscate the setting of the PF_PROT bit to
improve readability.

e95c3f7a09 m68knommu: fix trap on execing /bin/init
As of commit fea82210 ("m68k: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics")
the non-mmu m68k targets have trapped on booting. The execing of /bin/init
causes the exec path to try and return through a 0x0 return address - thus
trapping or otherwise hanging or crashing.

The problem isn't in the exec path as such though, but rather in the
m68knommu start_thread() macro. It is trying to clear the a6 register that
it assumes is part of a struct switch_stack below the thread registers on
our stack. But that is not what the stack frames look like when this is run.
So it ends up corrupting our call stack and zeroing out a function return
address that is sitting there.

The clearing of a6 was introduced many years ago in commit 7bf9a37d8d
("m68knommu: force stack alignment on ColdFire"). It used to work because
the kernel init exec code path had a short cut back to the exception return
code, and it didn't need to return through the calls on the stack.

7f04f08168 tile: avoid defining INT_MASK macro in <arch/interrupts.h>
Unfortunately, this name conflicts with a different use of
the name in various places through the tree, so don't provide
it for the kernel.  We preserve it for userspace to avoid
breaking any userspace code that relies on this definition.

This fixes a number of compile errors for various drivers that
are enabled by "allyesconfig".
