ARM: 8720/1: ensure dump_instr() checks addr_limit

2017-11-15T09:09:16+00:00

commit b9dd05c7002ee0ca8b676428b2268c26399b5e31 upstream. When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER is enabled, it's possible for a user to deliberately trigger dump_instr() with a chosen kernel address. Let's avoid problems resulting from this by using get_user() rather than __get_user(), ensuring that we don't erroneously access kernel memory. So that we can use the same code to dump user instructions and kernel instructions, the common dumping code is factored out to __dump_instr(), with the fs manipulated appropriately in dump_instr() around calls to this.

ARM: 8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h

2017-11-08T09:17:17+00:00

commit 1cce91dfc8f7990ca3aea896bfb148f240b12860 upstream. The asm-generic/unaligned.h header provides two different implementations for accessing unaligned variables: the access_ok.h version used when CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set pretends that all pointers are in fact aligned, while the le_struct.h version convinces gcc that the alignment of a pointer is '1', to make it issue the correct load/store instructions depending on the architecture flags. On ARMv5 and older, we always use the second version, to let the compiler use byte accesses. On ARMv6 and newer, we currently use the access_ok.h version, so the compiler can use any instruction including stm/ldm and ldrd/strd that will cause an alignment trap. This trap can significantly impact performance when we have to do a lot of fixups and, worse, has led to crashes in the LZ4 decompressor code that does not have a trap handler. This adds an ARM specific version of asm/unaligned.h that uses the le_struct.h/be_struct.h implementation unconditionally. This should lead to essentially the same code on ARMv6+ as before, with the exception of using regular load/store instructions instead of the trapping instructions multi-register variants. The crash in the LZ4 decompressor code was probably introduced by the patch replacing the LZ4 implementation, commit 4e1a33b105dd ("lib: update LZ4 compressor module"), so linux-4.11 and higher would be affected most. However, we probably want to have this backported to all older stable kernels as well, to help with the performance issues. There are two follow-ups that I think we should also work on, but not backport to stable kernels, first to change the asm-generic version of the header to remove the ARM special case, and second to review all other uses of CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to see if they might be affected by the same problem on ARM.

ARM: dts: mvebu: pl310-cache disable double-linefill

2017-11-08T09:17:17+00:00

commit cda80a82ac3e89309706c027ada6ab232be1d640 upstream. Under heavy system stress mvebu SoC using Cortex A9 sporadically encountered instability issues. The "double linefill" feature of L2 cache was identified as causing dependency between read and write which lead to the deadlock. Especially, it was the cause of deadlock seen under heavy PCIe traffic, as this dependency violates PCIE overtaking rule.

arm/arm64: kvm: Disable branch profiling in HYP code

commit f9b269f3098121b5d54aaf822e0898c8ed1d3fec upstream. When HYP code runs into branch profiling code, it attempts to jump to unmapped memory, causing a HYP Panic.

arm/arm64: KVM: set right LR register value for 32 bit guest when inject abort

2017-11-08T09:17:17+00:00

commit fd6c8c206fc5d0717b0433b191de0715122f33bb upstream. When a exception is trapped to EL2, hardware uses ELR_ELx to hold the current fault instruction address. If KVM wants to inject a abort to 32 bit guest, it needs to set the LR register for the guest to emulate this abort happened in the guest. Because ARM32 architecture is pipelined execution, so the LR value has an offset to the fault instruction address. The offsets applied to Link value for exceptions as shown below, which should be added for the ARM32 link register(LR).

ARM: dts: sun6i: Fix endpoint IDs in second display pipeline

2017-10-27T08:39:14+00:00

commit a231d2783c332ef3e3ba238e82dbe599ff41ba14 upstream. When the second display pipeline device nodes for the A31/A31s were added, it was not known that the TCONs could (through either DRCs) select either backend as their input. Thus in the endpoints connecting these components together, the endpoint IDs were set to 0, while in fact they should have been set to 1.

ARM: 8692/1: mm: abort uaccess retries upon fatal signal

2017-09-13T21:20:54+00:00

commit 746a272e44141af24a02f6c9b0f65f4c4598ed42 upstream. When there's a fatal signal pending, arm's do_page_fault() implementation returns 0. The intent is that we'll return to the faulting userspace instruction, delivering the signal on the way. However, if we take a fatal signal during fixing up a uaccess, this results in a return to the faulting kernel instruction, which will be instantly retried, resulting in the same fault being taken forever. As the task never reaches userspace, the signal is not delivered, and the task is left unkillable. While the task is stuck in this state, it can inhibit the forward progress of the system. To avoid this, we must ensure that when a fatal signal is pending, we apply any necessary fixup for a faulting kernel instruction. Thus we will return to an error path, and it is up to that code to make forward progress towards delivering the fatal signal.
