The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid
floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an
incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler
chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl()
function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger
kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the
signal stack.
This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c86055f5bbdcdf
"s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register"

This reverts commit 852ffd0f4e23248b47531058e531066a988434b5.
There are use cases where an intermediate boot kernel (1) uses kexec
to boot the final production kernel (2). For this scenario we should
provide the original boot information to the production kernel (2).
Therefore clearing the boot information during kexec() should not
be done.

{pud,pmd}_alloc_one are allocating from {PGT,PUD}_CACHE initialized in
pgtable_cache_init which doesn't have larger than sizeof(void *) << 12
size and that fits into !costly allocation request size.
PGALLOC_GFP is used only in radix__pgd_alloc which uses either order-0
or order-4 requests. The first one doesn't need the flag while the
second does. Drop __GFP_REPEAT from PGALLOC_GFP and add it for the
order-4 one.

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.
{pte,pmd,pud}_alloc_one{_kernel}, late_pgtable_alloc use PGALLOC_GFP for
__get_free_page (aka order-0).
pgd_alloc is slightly more complex because it allocates from pgd_cache
if PGD_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE and PGD_SIZE depends on the configuration
(CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS, PAGE_SHIFT and CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS).
As per
config PGTABLE_LEVELS
int
default 2 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_36
default 2 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_42
default 3 if ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48
default 3 if ARM64_4K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_39
default 3 if ARM64_16K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_47
default 4 if !ARM64_64K_PAGES && ARM64_VA_BITS_48
we should have the following options
CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:4k size:4096 pages:1
CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:48 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:4 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16 pages:1

CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS:36 CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS:2 PAGE_SIZE:16k size:16384 pages:1
All of them fit into a single page (aka order-0). This means that this

only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

The INIT_TASK() initializer was similarly confused about the stack vs
thread_info allocation that the allocators had, and that were fixed in
commit b235beea9e99 ("Clarify naming of thread info/stack allocators").
The task ->stack pointer only incidentally ends up having the same value
as the thread_info, and in fact that will change.
So fix the initial task struct initializer to point to 'init_stack'
instead of 'init_thread_info', and make sure the ia64 definition for
that exists.
This actually makes the ia64 tsk->stack pointer be sensible for the
initial task, but not for any other task. As mentioned in commit
b235beea9e99, that whole pointer isn't actually used on ia64, since
task_stack_page() there just points to the (single) allocation.
All the other architectures seem to have copied the 'init_stack'
definition, even if it tended to be generally unusued.

As the actual pointer value is the same for the thread stack allocation
and the thread_info, code that confused the two worked fine, but will
break when the thread info is moved away from the stack allocation. It
also looks very confusing.
For example, the kprobe code wanted to know the current top of stack.
To do that, it used this:
(unsigned long)current_thread_info() + THREAD_SIZE
which did indeed give the correct value. But it's not only a fairly
nonsensical expression, it's also rather complex, especially since we
actually have this:
static inline unsigned long current_top_of_stack(void)
which not only gives us the value we are interested in, but happens to
be how "current_thread_info()" is currently defined as:
(struct thread_info *)(current_top_of_stack() - THREAD_SIZE);
so using current_thread_info() to figure out the top of the stack really
is a very round-about thing to do.
The other cases are just simpler confusion about task_thread_info() vs
task_stack_page(), which currently return the same pointer - but if you
want the stack page, you really should be using the latter one.
And there was one entirely unused assignment of the current stack to a
thread_info pointer.
All cleaned up to make more sense today, and make it easier to move the
thread_info away from the stack in the future.
No semantic changes.

We've had the thread info allocated together with the thread stack for
most architectures for a long time (since the thread_info was split off
from the task struct), but that is about to change.
But the patches that move the thread info to be off-stack (and a part of
the task struct instead) made it clear how confused the allocator and
freeing functions are.
Because the common case was that we share an allocation with the thread
stack and the thread_info, the two pointers were identical. That
identity then meant that we would have things like
ti = alloc_thread_info_node(tsk, node);
...
tsk->stack = ti;
which certainly _worked_ (since stack and thread_info have the same
value), but is rather confusing: why are we assigning a thread_info to
the stack? And if we move the thread_info away, the "confusing" code
just gets to be entirely bogus.
So remove all this confusion, and make it clear that we are doing the
stack allocation by renaming and clarifying the function names to be
about the stack. The fact that the thread_info then shares the
allocation is an implementation detail, and not really about the
allocation itself.
This is a pure renaming and type fix: we pass in the same pointer, it's
just that we clarify what the pointer means.
The ia64 code that actually only has one single allocation (for all of
task_struct, thread_info and kernel thread stack) now looks a bit odd,
but since "tsk->stack" is actually not even used there, that oddity
doesn't matter. It would be a separate thing to clean that up, I
intentionally left the ia64 changes as a pure brute-force renaming and
type change.

When page tables entries are set using xen_set_pte_init() during early
boot there is no page fault handler that could handle a fault when
performing an M2P lookup.
In 64 bit guests (usually dom0) early_ioremap() would fault in
xen_set_pte_init() because an M2P lookup faults because the MFN is in
MMIO space and not mapped in the M2P. This lookup is done to see if
the PFN in in the range used for the initial page table pages, so that
the PTE may be set as read-only.
The M2P lookup can be avoided by moving the check (and clear of RW)
earlier when the PFN is still available.

As part of the Radix MMU support we added some feature sections in the
SLB miss handler. These are intended to catch the case that we
incorrectly take an SLB miss when Radix is enabled, and instead of
crashing weirdly they bail out to a well defined exit path and trigger
an oops.
However the way they were written meant the bailout case was enabled by
default until we did CPU feature patching.
On powermacs the early debug prints in setup_system() can cause an SLB
miss, which happens before code patching, and so the SLB miss handler
would incorrectly bailout and crash during boot.
Fix it by inverting the sense of the feature section, so that the code
which is in place at boot is correct for the hash case. Once we
determine we are using Radix - which will never happen on a powermac -
only then do we patch in the bailout case which unconditionally jumps.

kernel/smp.c has a fancy counter that keeps track of the number of CPUs
it marked as not-present and left in cpu_park_loop(). If there are any
CPUs spinning in here, features like kexec or hibernate may release them
by overwriting this memory.
This problem also occurs on machines using spin-tables to release
secondary cores.
After commit 44dbcc93ab67 ("arm64: Fix behavior of maxcpus=N")
we bring all known cpus into the secondary holding pen, meaning this
memory can't be re-used by kexec or hibernate.

__sync_icache_dcache unconditionally skips the cache maintenance for
anonymous pages, under the assumption that flushing is only required in
the presence of D-side aliases [see 7249b79f6b4cc ("arm64: Do not flush
the D-cache for anonymous pages")].
Unfortunately, this breaks migration of anonymous pages holding
self-modifying code, where userspace cannot be reasonably expected to
reissue maintenance instructions in response to a migration.
This patch fixes the problem by removing the broken page_mapping(page)
check from the cache syncing code, otherwise we may end up fetching and
executing stale instructions from the PoU.

During a rollover, we mark the active ASID on each CPU as reserved, before
allocating a new ID for the task that caused the rollover. This means that
with N CPUs, we can only guarantee the new task to obtain a valid ASID if
we have at least N+1 ASIDs. Update this limit in the initcall check.
Note that this restriction was introduced by commit 8e648066 on the
arch/arm side, which disallow re-using the previously active ASID on the
local CPU, as it would introduce a TLB race.
In addition, we only dispose of NUM_USER_ASIDS-1, since ASID 0 is
reserved. Add this restriction as well.

This patch fixes a non-booting issue in Mainline.
When booting with a compressed kernel, we need to be careful how we
populate memory close to DDR start. AUTO_ZRELADDR is enabled by default
in multi-arch enabled configurations, which place some restrictions on
where the kernel is placed and where it will be uncompressed to on boot.
AUTO_ZRELADDR takes the decompressor code's start address and masks out
the bottom 28 bits to obtain an address to uncompress the kernel to
(thus a load address of 0x42000000 means that the kernel will be
uncompressed to 0x40000000 i.e. DDR START on this platform).
Even changing the load address to after the co-processor's shared memory
won't render a booting platform, since the AUTO_ZRELADDR algorithm still
ensures the kernel is uncompressed into memory shared with the first
co-processor (0x40000000).
Another option would be to move loading to 0x4A000000, since this will
mean the decompressor will decompress the kernel to 0x48000000. However,
this would mean a large chunk (0x44000000 => 0x48000000 (64MB)) of
memory would essentially be wasted for no good reason.
Until we can work with ST to find a suitable memory location to
relocate co-processor shared memory, let's disable the shared memory
nodes. This will ensure a working platform in the mean time.
NB: The more observant of you will notice that we're leaving the DMU
shared memory node enabled; this is because a) it is the only one in
active use at the time of this writing and b) it is not affected by
the current default behaviour which is causing issues.

Several modern devices, such as PC/104 cards, are expected to run on
modern systems via an ISA bus interface. Since ISA is a legacy interface
for most modern architectures, ISA support should remain disabled in
general. Support for ISA-style drivers should be enabled on a per driver
basis.
To allow ISA-style drivers on modern systems, this patch introduces the
ISA_BUS_API and ISA_BUS Kconfig options. The ISA bus driver will now
build conditionally on the ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option, which defaults to
the legacy ISA Kconfig option. The ISA_BUS Kconfig option allows the
ISA_BUS_API Kconfig option to be selected on architectures which do not
enable ISA (e.g. X86_64).
The ISA_BUS Kconfig option is currently only implemented for X86
architectures. Other architectures may have their own ISA_BUS Kconfig
options added as required.

Based on the latest timing specifications for the TPS65218 from the data
sheet, http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps65218.pdf, document SLDS206
from November 2014, we must change the i2c bus speed to better fit within
the minimum high SCL time required for proper i2c transfer.
When running at 400khz, measurements show that SCL spends
0.8125 uS/1.666 uS high/low which violates the requirement for minimum
high period of SCL provided in datasheet Table 7.6 which is 1 uS.
Switching to 100khz gives us 5 uS/5 uS high/low which both fall above
the minimum given values for 100 khz, 4.0 uS/4.7 uS high/low.
Without this patch occasionally a voltage set operation from the kernel
will appear to have worked but the actual voltage reflected on the PMIC
will not have updated, causing problems especially with cpufreq that may
update to a higher OPP without actually raising the voltage on DCDC2,
leading to a hang.
