Architectures should fully validate whether kexec is possible as part of
machine_kexec_prepare(), so that user-space's kexec_load() operation can
report any problems. Performing validation in machine_kexec() itself is
too late, since it is not allowed to return.
Prior to this patch, ARM's machine_kexec() was testing after-the-fact
whether machine_kexec_prepare() was able to disable all but one CPU.
Instead, modify machine_kexec_prepare() to validate all conditions
necessary for machine_kexec_prepare()'s to succeed. BUG if the validation
succeeded, yet disabling the CPUs didn't actually work.

It is possible to construct an event group with a software event as a
group leader and then subsequently add a hardware event to the group.
This results in the event group being validated by adding all members
of the group to a fake PMU and attempting to allocate each event on
their respective PMU.
Unfortunately, for software events wthout a corresponding arm_pmu, this
results in a kernel crash attempting to dereference the ->get_event_idx
function pointer.
This patch fixes the problem by checking explicitly for software events
and ignoring those in event validation (since they can always be
scheduled). We will probably want to revisit this for 3.12, since the
validation checks don't appear to work correctly when dealing with
multiple hardware PMUs anyway.

Commit 621a0147d5 ("ARM: 7757/1: mm:
don't flush icache in switch_mm with hardware broadcasting") breaks
the boot on OMAP2430SDP with omap2plus_defconfig. Tracked to an
undefined instruction abort from the CP15 read in
cache_ops_need_broadcast(). It turns out that gcc 4.5 reorders the
extended CP15 read above the is_smp() test. This breaks ARM1136 r0
cores, since they don't support several CP15 registers that later ARM
cores do. ARM1136JF-S TRM section 3.2.1 "Register allocation" has the
details.
So mark the extended CP15 read as clobbering memory, which prevents
the compiler from reordering it before the is_smp() test. Russell
states that the code generated from this approach is preferable to
marking the inline asm as volatile. Remove the existing condition
code clobber as it's obsolete, per Nico's post:

a.out support on ARM requires that argc, argv and envp are passed in
r0-r2 respectively, which requires hacking load_aout_binary to
prevent argc being clobbered by the return code. Whilst mainline kernels
do set the registers up in start_thread, the aout loader has never
carried the hack in mainline.
Initialising the registers in this way actually goes against the libc
expectations for ELF binaries, where argc, argv and envp are passed on
the stack, with r0 being used to hold a pointer to an exit function for
cleaning up after the dynamic linker if required. If the pointer is
NULL, then it is ignored. When execing an ELF binary, Linux currently
zeroes r0, then sets it to argc and then finally clobbers it with the
return value of the execve syscall, so we actually end up with:
r0 = 0
stack[0] = argc
r1 = stack[1] = argv
r2 = stack[2] = envp
libc treats r1 and r2 as undefined. The clobbering of r0 by sys_execve
works for user-spawned threads, but when executing an ELF binary from a
kernel thread (via call_usermodehelper), the execve is performed on the
ret_from_fork path, which restores r0 from the saved pt_regs, resulting
in argc being presented to the C library. This has horrible consequences
when the application exits, since we have an exit function registered
using argc, resulting in a jump to hyperspace.
This patch solves the problem by removing the partial a.out support from
arch/arm/ altogether.

As of commit b9d4d42ad9 (ARM: Remove __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW on
pre-ARMv6 CPUs), the mm switching on VIVT processors is done in the
finish_arch_post_lock_switch() function to avoid whole cache flushing
with interrupts disabled. The need for deferred mm switch is stored as a
thread flag (TIF_SWITCH_MM). However, with preemption enabled, we can
have another thread switch before finish_arch_post_lock_switch(). If the
new thread has the same mm as the previous 'next' thread, the scheduler
will not call switch_mm() and the TIF_SWITCH_MM flag won't be set for
the new thread.
This patch moves the switch pending flag to the mm_context_t structure
since this is specific to the mm rather than thread.

When map_lowmem() runs, and processes a memory bank whose start or end
is not section-aligned, memory must be allocated to store the 2nd-level
page tables. Those allocations are made by calling memblock_alloc().
At this point, the only memory that is free *and* mapped is memory which
has already been mapped by map_lowmem() itself. For this reason, we must
calculate the first point at which map_lowmem() will need to allocate
memory, and set the memblock allocation limit to a lower address, so that
memblock_alloc() is guaranteed to return memory that is already mapped.
This patch enhances sanity_check_meminfo() to calculate that memory
address, and pass it to memblock_set_current_limit(), rather than just
assuming the limit is arm_lowmem_limit.
The algorithm applied is:
* Default memblock_limit to arm_lowmem_limit in the absence of any other
limit; arm_lowmem_limit is the highest memory that is mapped by
map_lowmem().
* While walking the list of memblocks, if the start of a block is not
aligned, 2nd-level page tables will need to be allocated to map the
first few pages of the block. Hence, the memblock_limit must be before
the start of the block.
* Similarly, if the end of any block is not aligned, 2nd-level page
tables will need to be allocated to map the last few pages of the
block. Hence, the memblock_limit must point at the end of the block,
rounded down to section-alignment.
* The memory blocks are assumed to be sorted in address order, so the
first unaligned block start or end is used to set the limit.
With this algorithm, the start or end of almost any bank can be non-
section-aligned. The only exception is that the start of bank 0 must
be section-aligned, since otherwise memory would need to be allocated
when mapping the start of bank 0, which occurs before any free memory
is mapped.

Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
controversial. The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
that I think it's time to actually make some progress.
The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.
However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly
in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
8 compatibility.
[ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
problems to show up elsewhere ]
Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does
that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
likes that part).
The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
compatible with Windows 8.
The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
Thinkpads).
The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.
The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
GUI.
Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
backlight control problems in the future.
- Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
that we are compatible with Windows 8.
- Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
(that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).
- Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
thinks it's dealing with Windows 8. Based on the work of multiple
developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
and Aaron Lu.
- Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
by GUI"

Here are a few iio driver fixes for 3.11-rc2. They are still spread
across drivers/iio and drivers/staging/iio so they are coming in through
this tree.
I've also removed the drivers/staging/csr/ driver as the developers who
originally sent it to me have moved on to other companies, and CSR still
will not send us the specs for the device, making the driver pretty much
obsolete and impossible to fix up. Deleting it now prevents people from
sending in lots of tiny codingsyle fixes that will never go anywhere.
It also helps to offset the large lustre filesystem merge that happened
in 3.11-rc1 in the overall 3.11.0 diffstat. :)
