078c04545b ARM: 7384/1: ThumbEE: Disable userspace TEEHBR access for !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE
Currently when ThumbEE is not enabled (!CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE) the ThumbEE
register states are not saved/restored at context switch. The default state
of the ThumbEE Ctrl register (TEECR) allows userspace accesses to the
ThumbEE Base Handler register (TEEHBR). This can cause unexpected behaviour
when people use ThumbEE on !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE kernels, as well as allowing
covert communication - eg between userspace tasks running inside chroot
jails.

This patch sets up TEECR in order to prevent user-space access to TEEHBR
when !CONFIG_ARM_THUMBEE. In this case, tasks are sent SIGILL if they try to
access TEEHBR.

612539e81f ARM: 7296/1: proc-v7.S: remove HARVARD_CACHE preprocessor guards
On v7, we use the same cache maintenance instructions for data lines
as for unified lines. This was not the case for v6, where HARVARD_CACHE
was defined to indicate the L1 cache topology.

This patch removes the erroneous compile-time check for HARVARD_CACHE in
proc-v7.S, ensuring that we perform I-side invalidation at boot.

868dbf9052 ARM: 7295/1: cortex-a7: move proc_info out of !CONFIG_ARM_LPAE block
The merging of commits 1b6ba46b ("ARM: LPAE: MMU setup for the 3-level
page table format") and b4244738 ("ARM: 7202/1: Add Cortex-A7 proc info")
during the merge window ended up putting the Cortex-A7 proc_info into a
code block guarded by !CONFIG_ARM_LPAE. This makes Cortex-A7 platforms
unbootable when LPAE is enabled.

This patch moves the proc_info structure for Cortex-A7 outside of the
guarded block.

ba90c516ba ARM: 7197/1: errata: Remove SMP dependency for erratum 751472
Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the
workaround's direct dependencies if this makes otherwise reasonable
configuration choices impossible.

This patches uses the SMP/UP patching facilities instead to compile
out the workaround if the configuration means that it is definitely
not needed.

This means that configs for buggy silicon can simply select
ARM_ERRATA_751472, without preventing a UP kernel from being built
or duplicatiing knowledge about when to activate the workaround.
This seems the correct way to do things, because the erratum is a
property of the silicon, irrespective of what the kernel config
happens to be.

There is no need to save and restore the context ID register on ARMv6
and ARMv7 with a temporary page table as we write the context ID
register when we switch back to the real page tables for the thread.

Moreover, the temporary page tables do not contain any non-global
mappings, so the context ID value should not be used.  To be safe,
initialize the register to a reserved context ID value.

The per-CPU do_suspend/do_resume functions are defined via the

converted to assembly, resulting in undefined references to these
functions.  Fix that by moving the ! ifdef section into proc-macros.S

07989b7ad6 Revert "ARM: 6943/1: mm: use TTBR1 instead of reserved context ID"
This reverts commit 52af9c6cd8.

Will Deacon reports that:

 In 52af9c6c ("ARM: 6943/1: mm: use TTBR1 instead of reserved context ID")
 I updated the ASID rollover code to use only the kernel page tables
 whilst updating the ASID.

 Unfortunately, the code to restore the user page tables was part of a
 later patch which isn't yet in mainline, so this leaves the code
 quite broken.

We're also in the process of eliminating __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW
from ARM, so lets revert these until we can properly sort out what we're
doing with the ARM context switching.

52af9c6cd8 ARM: 6943/1: mm: use TTBR1 instead of reserved context ID
On ARMv7 CPUs that cache first level page table entries (like the
Cortex-A15), using a reserved ASID while changing the TTBR or flushing
the TLB is unsafe.

This is because the CPU may cache the first level entry as the result of
a speculative memory access while the reserved ASID is assigned. After
the process owning the page tables dies, the memory will be reallocated
and may be written with junk values which can be interpreted as global,
valid PTEs by the processor. This will result in the TLB being populated
with bogus global entries.

This patch avoids the use of a reserved context ID in the v7 switch_mm
and ASID rollover code by temporarily using the swapper_pg_dir pointed
at by TTBR1, which contains only global entries that are not tagged
with ASIDs.

6323875db2 ARM: 6501/1: Thumb-2: Correct data alignment for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL in mm/proc-v7.S
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas.  As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C.  If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.

In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:

    * .quad and .double:
         .align 3

    * .long, .word, .single, .float:
         .align (or .align 2)

    * .short:
        No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
        instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
        immediately after an instruction.

In this specific case, we can achieve the desired alignment by
forcing a 32-bit branch instruction using the W() macro, since the
assembler location counter is already 32-bit aligned in this case.

64d2dc384e ARM: 6396/1: Add SWP/SWPB emulation for ARMv7 processors
The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture,
superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for
load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing
extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined
from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control
Register SW bit.

This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB
instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to
/proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also
modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when
user RO.

247055aa21 ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUs
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.

5085f3ff45 ARM: hotplug cpu: Keep processor information, startup code & __lookup_processor_type
When hotplug CPU is enabled, we need to keep the list of supported CPUs,
their setup functions, and __lookup_processor_type in place so that we
can find and initialize secondary CPUs.  Move these into the __CPUINIT
section.
