This errata covers all r1 variants of Cortex A8, it's not limited to
just r1p0..r1p2. Update the documentation to reflect this. The code
already applies the workaround to all r1p* A8 CPUs.

We have recently had an example of someone wanting to use a 90kHz timer
for the software delay loop.
udelay() needs to have at least microsecond resolution to allow drivers
access to a delay mechanism with a reasonable chance of delaying the
period they requested within at least a 50% marging of error, especially
for small delays.
Discussion about the udelay() accuracy can be found at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/9/37
Reject timers which are unable to supply this level of resolution.

Avoid the errata 430973 workaround for non-Cortex A8 CPUs. Having this
workaround enabled introduces an additional branch target buffer flush
into the context switching path, something we wish to avoid. To allow
this errata to be enabled in multiplatform kernels while reducing its
impact, rearrange the Cortex-A8 CPU support to avoid impacting on other
Version 7 CPUs.

The effects of not having ARM errata 643719 enabled on affected CPUs
can be very confusing and hard to debug. Rather than leave this to
chance, enable this workaround by default. Now that we have rearranged
the code, it should have a low impact on the majority of CPUs.

Rather than have code which masks and then shifts, such as:
mrc p15, 1, r0, c0, c0, 1
ALT_SMP(ands r3, r0, #7 << 21)
ALT_UP( ands r3, r0, #7 << 27)
ALT_SMP(mov r3, r3, lsr #20)
ALT_UP( mov r3, r3, lsr #26)
re-arrange this as a shift and then mask. The masking is the same for
each field which we want to extract, so this allows the mask to be
shared amongst code paths:
mrc p15, 1, r0, c0, c0, 1
ALT_SMP(mov r3, r0, lsr #20)
ALT_UP( mov r3, r0, lsr #26)
ands r3, r3, #7 << 1

Documentation: DT bindings: Tegra AHB: require the legacy base address for existing chips
Per Stephen Warren, note in the Tegra AHB DT binding documentation
that we specifically deprecate any attempt to use the IP block's
actual hardware base address, and advocate the use of the legacy
"off-by-four" address in the 'regs' property, for Tegra chips with
existing upstream Linux DT files that include a Tegra AHB node. This
patch updates the documentation accordingly.
Changing the existing kernel DT data isn't under consideration because
Linux kernel DT data policy is to preserve compatibility between newer
DT data files and older kernels. However, this additional step of
changing the documentation should discourage others from sending
kernel patches to try to change the legacy kernel DT data.
Furthermore, for out-of-tree software (such as bootloaders or other
operating systems) that may rely on Linux kernel DT binding
documentation as an ABI (but not the Linux kernel DT data itself),
such a change may allow future convergence with the Linux kernel DT
data without additional code changes.

amba: tegra-ahb: detect and correct bogus base address
From a hardware SoC integration point of view, the starting address of
this IP block in the existing Tegra SoC DT files is off by 4 bytes
from the actual base address. Since we attempt to make old DT files
forward-compatible with newer kernels, we cannot fix the IP block base
address in old DT data. This patch works around the problem by
detecting the four byte base address offset in the driver code, and
correcting it if it's detected. (In general, IP block base addresses
almost always have a null low byte.)
Future SoC DT data for Tegra AHB should use the correct Tegra AHB base
address, in cases where there is no DT data backward compatibility
requirement.
This patch is a revision of the patch originally titled
"amba: tegra-ahb: use correct base address for future chip support".

amba: tegra-ahb: fix register offsets in the macros
From a hardware SoC integration point of view, the offsets of the
Tegra AHB registers that are currently defined in tegra-ahb.c macros
are all off by four bytes. Similarly, the starting address of this IP
block in our existing DT files is also off by four bytes. Since we
attempt to make old DT files forward-compatible with newer kernels, we
cannot fix the IP block base address in old DT data. However, we can
fix the offsets in the driver so that they are correct with respect to
the hardware, which is what this patch does. And a subsequent patch
will allow the offset to be removed for DT 'compatible' strings used
in future DT files for newer Tegra chips that the kernel does not yet
support.

When trying to kexec into a new kernel on a platform where multiple CPU
cores are present, but no SMP bringup code is available yet, the
kexec_load system call fails with:
kexec_load failed: Invalid argument
The SMP test added to machine_kexec_prepare() in commit 2103f6cba61a8b8b
("ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support") wants to prohibit
kexec on SMP platforms where it cannot disable secondary CPUs.
However, this test is too strict: if the secondary CPUs couldn't be
enabled in the first place, there's no need to disable them later at
kexec time. Hence skip the test in the absence of SMP bringup code.
This allows to add all CPU cores to the DTS from the beginning, without
having to implement SMP bringup first, improving DT compatibility.

Normally, when a CPU wants to clear a cache line to zero in the external
L2 cache, it would generate bus cycles to write each word as it would do
with any other data access.
However, a Cortex A9 connected to a L2C-310 has a specific feature where
the CPU can detect this operation, and signal that it wants to zero an
entire cache line. This feature, known as Full Line of Zeros (FLZ),
involves a non-standard AXI signalling mechanism which only the L2C-310
can properly interpret.
There are separate enable bits in both the L2C-310 and the Cortex A9 -
the L2C-310 needs to be enabled and have the FLZ enable bit set in the
auxiliary control register before the Cortex A9 has this feature
enabled.
Unfortunately, the suspend code was not respecting this - it's not
obvious from the code:
swsusp_arch_suspend()
cpu_suspend() /* saves the Cortex A9 auxiliary control register */
arch_save_image()
soft_restart() /* turns off FLZ in Cortex A9, and disables L2C */
cpu_resume() /* restores the Cortex A9 registers, inc auxcr */
At this point, we end up with the L2C disabled, but the Cortex A9 with
FLZ enabled - which means any memset() or zeroing of a full cache line
will fail to take effect.
A similar issue exists in the resume path, but it's slightly more
complex:
swsusp_arch_suspend()
cpu_suspend() /* saves the Cortex A9 auxiliary control register */
arch_save_image() /* image with A9 auxcr saved */
...
swsusp_arch_resume()
call_with_stack()
arch_restore_image() /* restores image with A9 auxcr saved above */
soft_restart() /* turns off FLZ in Cortex A9, and disables L2C */
cpu_resume() /* restores the Cortex A9 registers, inc auxcr */
Again, here we end up with the L2C disabled, but Cortex A9 FLZ enabled.
There's no need to turn off the L2C in either of these two paths; there
are benefits from not doing so - for example, the page copies will be
faster with the L2C enabled.
Hence, fix this by providing a variant of soft_restart() which can be
used without turning the L2 cache controller off, and use it in both
of these paths to keep the L2C enabled across the respective resume
transitions.

When building a very large kernel, it is up to the linker to decide
when and where to insert stubs to allow calls to functions that are
out of range for the ordinary b/bl instructions.
However, since the kernel is built as a position dependent binary,
these stubs (aka veneers) may contain absolute addresses, which will
break far calls performed with the MMU off.
For instance, the call from __enable_mmu() in the .head.text section
to __turn_mmu_on() in the .idmap.text section may be turned into
something like this:
c0008168 <__enable_mmu>:
c0008168: f020 0002 bic.w r0, r0, #2
c000816c: f420 5080 bic.w r0, r0, #4096
c0008170: f000 b846 b.w c0008200 <____turn_mmu_on_veneer>
[...]
c0008200 <____turn_mmu_on_veneer>:
c0008200: 4778 bx pc
c0008202: 46c0 nop
c0008204: e59fc000 ldr ip, [pc]
c0008208: e12fff1c bx ip
c000820c: c13dfae1 teqgt sp, r1, ror #21
[...]
c13dfae0 <__turn_mmu_on>:
c13dfae0: 4600 mov r0, r0
[...]
After adding --pic-veneer to the LDFLAGS, the veneer is emitted like
this instead:
c0008200 <____turn_mmu_on_veneer>:
c0008200: 4778 bx pc
c0008202: 46c0 nop
c0008204: e59fc004 ldr ip, [pc, #4]
c0008208: e08fc00c add ip, pc, ip
c000820c: e12fff1c bx ip
c0008210: 013d7d31 teqeq sp, r1, lsr sp
c0008214: 00000000 andeq r0, r0, r0
Note that this particular example is best addressed by moving
.head.text and .idmap.text closer together, but this issue could
potentially affect any code that needs to execute with the
MMU off.

Note that
*(.text)
*(.text.fixup)
is not the same as
*(.text .text.fixup)
and we are looking for the latter, to ensure that fixup snippets that
are assembled into a separate section in the object file do not end
up out of range for the relative branch instructions it contains if
the .text section itself grows very large.

__alloc_from_pool uses an internal pool from which we already have

alloc_pages, which will always return a lowmem page, which is already

The pci_mmap_page_range() API should be written to expect offset
values representing PCI memory resource addresses as seen by user
space, through the pci_resource_to_user() API.
ARM relies on the standard implementation of pci_resource_to_user()
which actually is an identity map and exports to user space
PCI memory resources as they are stored in PCI devices resources
structures, which represent CPU physical addresses (fixed-up using
BUS to CPU address conversions) not PCI bus addresses.
Therefore, on ARM platforms where the mapping between CPU and BUS
address is not a 1:1 the current pci_mmap_page_range() implementation is
erroneous, in that an additional shift is applied to an already fixed-up
offset passed from userspace.
Hence, this patch removes the mem_offset from the pgoff calculation
since the offset as passed from user space already represents the CPU
physical address corresponding to the resource to be mapped, ie no
additional offset should be applied.

.. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to
the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad.
Big surprise.
But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
can't even follow the most basic directions?
In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.
Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.
But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

As it is, we have debugfs_remove() racing with symlink traversals.
Supply ->evict_inode() and do freeing there - inode will remain
pinned until we are done with the symlink body.
And rip the idiocy with checking if dentry is positive right after
we'd verified debugfs_positive(), which is a stronger check...

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.
Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.
This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

Fanotify probably doesn't want to watch autodirs so make it use d_can_lookup()
rather than d_is_dir() when checking a dir watch and give an error on fake
directories.

Fix up the following scripted S_ISDIR/S_ISREG/S_ISLNK conversions (or lack
thereof) in cachefiles:
(1) Cachefiles mostly wants to use d_can_lookup() rather than d_is_dir() as
it doesn't want to deal with automounts in its cache.
(2) Coccinelle didn't find S_IS* expressions in ASSERT() statements in
cachefiles.

Convert the following where appropriate:
(1) S_ISLNK(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_symlink(dentry).
(2) S_ISREG(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_reg(dentry).
(3) S_ISDIR(dentry->d_inode) to d_is_dir(dentry). This is actually more
complicated than it appears as some calls should be converted to
d_can_lookup() instead. The difference is whether the directory in
question is a real dir with a ->lookup op or whether it's a fake dir with
a ->d_automount op.
In some circumstances, we can subsume checks for dentry->d_inode not being
NULL into this, provided we the code isn't in a filesystem that expects
d_inode to be NULL if the dirent really *is* negative (ie. if we're going to
use d_inode() rather than d_backing_inode() to get the inode pointer).
Note that the dentry type field may be set to something other than
DCACHE_MISS_TYPE when d_inode is NULL in the case of unionmount, where the VFS
manages the fall-through from a negative dentry to a lower layer. In such a
case, the dentry type of the negative union dentry is set to the same as the
type of the lower dentry.
However, if you know d_inode is not NULL at the call site, then you can use
the d_is_xxx() functions even in a filesystem.
There is one further complication: a 0,0 chardev dentry may be labelled
DCACHE_WHITEOUT_TYPE rather than DCACHE_SPECIAL_TYPE. Strictly, this was
intended for special directory entry types that don't have attached inodes.
The following perl+coccinelle script was used:
use strict;
my @callers;
open($fd, 'git grep -l \'S_IS[A-Z].*->d_inode\' |') ||
die "Can't grep for S_ISDIR and co. callers";
@callers = <$fd>;
close($fd);
unless (@callers) {
print "No matches\n";
exit(0);

print($fd "$_\n") || die $coccifile foreach (@cocci);
close($fd);
foreach my $file (@callers) {
