As Stephen Rothwell reports, a849088aa1 ("ARM: Fix ioremap() of
address zero") from the arm-current tree and commit c279443709 ("ARM:
Add fixed PCI i/o mapping") from the arm-soc tree conflict in
a nontrivial way in arch/arm/mm/mmu.c.
Rob Herring explains:
The PCI i/o reserved area has a dummy physical address of 0 and
needs to be skipped by ioremap searches. So we don't set
VM_ARM_STATIC_MAPPING to prevent matches by ioremap. The vm_struct
settings don't really matter when we do the real mapping of the
i/o space.
Since commit a849088aa1 is at the start of the fixes branch
in the arm tree, we can merge it into the branch that contains
the other ioremap changes.

This adds a fixed virtual mapping for PCI i/o addresses. The mapping is
located at the last 2MB of vmalloc region (0xfee00000-0xff000000). 2MB
is used to align with PMD size, but IO_SPACE_LIMIT is 1MB. The space
is reserved after .map_io and can be mapped at any time later with
pci_ioremap_io. Platforms which need early i/o mapping (e.g. for vga
console) can call pci_map_io_early in their .map_io function.
This has changed completely from the 1st implementation which only
supported creating the static mapping at .map_io.

On ARM with the 2-level page table format, a PMD entry is represented by
two consecutive section entries covering 2MB of virtual space.
However, static mappings always were allowed to use separate 1MB section
entries. This means in practice that a static mapping may create half
populated PMDs via create_mapping().
Since commit 0536bdf33f (ARM: move iotable mappings within the vmalloc
region) those static mappings are located in the vmalloc area. We must
ensure no such half populated PMDs are accessible once vmalloc() or
ioremap() start looking at the vmalloc area for nearby free virtual
address ranges, or various things leading to a kernel crash will happen.

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialisation).
Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.
CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

Initialize the contents of the vectors page immediately after we
allocate the page, but before we map it. This avoids any possible

We follow this later with a flush_cache_all() after all static memory

sanity_check_meminfo walks over the registered memory banks and attempts
to split banks across lowmem and highmem when they would otherwise
overlap with the vmalloc space.
When SPARSEMEM is used, there are two potential problems that occur
when the virtual address of the start of a bank is equal to vmalloc_min.
1.) The end of lowmem is calculated as __pa(vmalloc_min - 1) + 1.
In the above scenario, this will give the end address of the
previous bank, rather than the actual bank we are interested in.
This value is later used as the memblock limit and artificially
restricts the total amount of available memory.
2.) The checks to determine whether or not a bank belongs to highmem
or not only check if __va(bank->start) is greater or less than
vmalloc_min. In the case that it is equal, the bank is incorrectly
treated as lowmem, which hoses the vmalloc area.
This patch fixes these two problems by checking whether the virtual
start address of a bank is >= vmalloc_min and then calculating
lowmem_end by finding the virtual end address of the highest lowmem
bank.

In commit e616c59140, highmem support was
deactivated for SMP platforms without hardware TLB ops broadcast because
usage of kmap_high_get() requires that IRQs be disabled when kmap_lock
is locked which is incompatible with the IPI mechanism used by the
software TLB ops broadcast invoked through flush_all_zero_pkmaps().
The reason for kmap_high_get() is to ensure that the currently kmap'd
page usage count does not decrease to zero while we're using its
existing virtual mapping in an atomic context. With a VIVT cache this
is essential to do due to cache coherency issues, but with a VIPT cache
this is only an optimization so not to pay the price of establishing a
second mapping if an existing one can be used. However, on VIPT
platforms without hardware TLB maintenance we can give up on that
optimization in order to be able to use highmem.
From ARMv7 onwards the TLB ops are broadcasted in hardware, so let's
disable ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET only when CONFIG_SMP and
CONFIG_CPU_TLB_V6 are defined.

This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and
__switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register.
Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page
tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the
kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in
the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and
newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory.
Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific
functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel
memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set
to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to
the LDR/STR ones.
The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only
access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still
works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register
(CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page
isn't possible.
The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok()
function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

Use memblock information to setup lowmem mappings rather than the
membank array.
This allows platforms to manipulate the memblock information during
initialization to reserve (and remove) memory from the kernel's view
of memory - and thus allowing platforms to setup their own private
mappings for this memory without causing problems with multiple
aliasing mappings:
size = min(size, SZ_2M);
base = memblock_alloc(size, min(align, SZ_2M));
memblock_free(base, size);
memblock_remove(base, size);
This is needed because multiple mappings of regions with differing
