Some common Xen drivers, like balloon.c, call pfn_to_mfn and mfn_to_pfn
even for autotranslate guests, expecting the argument back.
The following commit broke these drivers by changing the behavior of
pfn_to_mfn and mfn_to_pfn:

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson:
"This branch contains code cleanups, moves and removals for 3.13.
Qualcomm msm targets had a bunch of code removal for legacy non-DT
platforms. Nomadik saw more device tree conversions and cleanup of
old code. Tegra has some code refactoring, etc.
One longish patch series from Sebastian Hasselbarth changes the
init_time hooks and tries to use a generic implementation for most
platforms, since they were all doing more or less the same things.
Finally the "shark" platform is removed in this release. It's been
abandoned for a while and nobody seems to care enough to keep it
around. If someone comes along and wants to resurrect it, the removal
can easily be reverted and code brought back.
Beyond this, mostly a bunch of removals of stale content across the
board, etc"

atomic* value is signed value, and atomic* functions need also process
signed value (parameter value, and return value), so 32-bit arm need
use 'long long' instead of 'u64'.
After replacement, it will also fix a bug for atomic64_add_negative():
"u64 is never less than 0".
The modifications are:
in vim, use "1,% s/\<u64\>/long long/g" command.
remove '__aligned(8)' which is useless for 64-bit.
be sure of 80 column limitation after replacement.

By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see
irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full
NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and
if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we
have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via
self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again.
Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on
SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only
supported on SMP builds anyway.

Most of the kernel code assumes that max*pfn is maximum pfns because
the physical start of memory is expected to be PFN0. Since this
assumption is not true on ARM architectures, the meaning of max*pfn
is number of memory pages. This is done to keep drivers happy which
are making use of of these variable to calculate the dma bounce limit
using dma_mask.
Now since we have a architecture override possibility for DMAable
maximum pfns, lets make meaning of max*pfns as maximum pnfs on ARM
as well.

CPU hotplug and kexec rely on smp_ops.cpu_kill(), which is supposed
to wait for the CPU to park or power down, and perform the last
rites (such as disabling clocks etc., where the platform doesn't do
this automatically).
kexec in particular is unsafe without performing this
synchronisation to park secondaries. Without it, the secondaries
might not be parked when kexec trashes the kernel.
There is no generic way to do this synchronisation, so a new mcpm
platform_ops method power_down_finish() is added by this patch.
The new method is mandatory. A platform which provides no way to
detect when CPUs are parked is likely broken.

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.
This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.
On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).
Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.
Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero
removed):
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024
Gave: 2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages,
2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages,
5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK.
After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK,
as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall
system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long.
This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

not unsigned 64bit expression.
Otherwise when 64bit ASID is passed to inline assembler statement
as 'r' operand (32bit) compiler behavior is not well specified.
For example when __flush_tlb_mm function compiled in big endian
case, and ASID is passed to tlb_op macro directly, 0 will be passed

The arch_kgdb_breakpoint() function uses an inline assembly directive
to assemble a specific instruction using .word. This means the linker
will not treat is as an instruction, and therefore incorrectly swap
the endian-ness if running BE8.
As noted, this code means that kgdb is really only usable on arm32
kernels, and should be made dependant on not being a thumb2 kernel
until fixed. However this is not something to be added to this patch.

of the processor when reading and writing data, so change to using
the readl/writel relaxed variants from the raw ones.

Add ARM_BE8() helper to wrap any code conditional on being
compile when CONFIG_ARM_ENDIAN_BE8 is selected and convert
existing places where this is to use it.

This series extends the existing ARM v2p runtime patching for 64 bit.
Needed for LPAE machines which have physical memory beyond 4GB.

Support huge pages in KVM/ARM and KVM/ARM64. The pud_huge checking on
the unmap path may feel a bit silly as the pud_huge check is always
defined to false, but the compiler should be smart about this.
Note: This deals only with VMAs marked as huge which are allocated by
users through hugetlbfs only. Transparent huge pages can only be
detected by looking at the underlying pages (or the page tables
themselves) and this patch so far simply maps these on a page-by-page
level in the Stage-2 page tables.

Update comments to reflect what is really going on and add the TWE bit
to the comments in kvm_arm.h.
Also renames the function to kvm_handle_wfx like is done on arm64 for
consistency and uber-correctness.

On an (even slightly) oversubscribed system, spinlocks are quickly
becoming a bottleneck, as some vcpus are spinning, waiting for a
lock to be released, while the vcpu holding the lock may not be
running at all.
This creates contention, and the observed slowdown is 40x for
hackbench. No, this isn't a typo.
The solution is to trap blocking WFEs and tell KVM that we're
now spinning. This ensures that other vpus will get a scheduling
boost, allowing the lock to be released more quickly. Also, using
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_CPU_RELAX_INTERCEPT slightly improves the performance
when the VM is severely overcommited.
Quick test to estimate the performance: hackbench 1 process 1000
2xA15 host (baseline): 1.843s
2xA15 guest w/o patch: 2.083s
4xA15 guest w/o patch: 80.212s
8xA15 guest w/o patch: Could not be bothered to find out
2xA15 guest w/ patch: 2.102s
4xA15 guest w/ patch: 3.205s
8xA15 guest w/ patch: 6.887s
So we go from a 40x degradation to 1.5x in the 2x overcommit case,
which is vaguely more acceptable.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"Some more ARM fixes, nothing particularly major here. The biggest
change is to fix the SMP_ON_UP code so that it works with TI's Aegis
cores"
* 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 7851/1: check for number of arguments in syscall_get/set_arguments()
ARM: 7846/1: Update SMP_ON_UP code to detect A9MPCore with 1 CPU devices
ARM: 7845/1: sharpsl_param.c: fix invalid memory access for pxa devices
ARM: 7843/1: drop asm/types.h from generic-y
