On ARMv8 support for AArch32 state is optional. Hence it is
not safe to check the AArch32 ID registers for sanity, which
could lead to false warnings. This patch makes sure that the
AArch32 state is implemented before we keep track of the 32bit
ID registers.
As per ARM ARM (D.1.21.2 - Support for Exception Levels and
Execution States, DDI0487A.h), checking the support for AArch32
at EL0 is good enough to check the support for AArch32 (i.e,
AArch32 at EL1 => AArch32 at EL0, but not vice versa).

When hardware updates of the access and dirty states are enabled, the
default ptep_set_access_flags() implementation based on calling
set_pte_at() directly is potentially racy. This triggers the "racy dirty
state clearing" warning in set_pte_at() because an existing writable PTE
is overridden with a clean entry.
There are two main scenarios for this situation:
1. The CPU getting an access fault does not support hardware updates of
the access/dirty flags. However, a different agent in the system
(e.g. SMMU) can do this, therefore overriding a writable entry with a
clean one could potentially lose the automatically updated dirty
status
2. A more complex situation is possible when all CPUs support hardware
AF/DBM:
a) Initial state: shareable + writable vma and pte_none(pte)
b) Read fault taken by two threads of the same process on different
CPUs
c) CPU0 takes the mmap_sem and proceeds to handling the fault. It
eventually reaches do_set_pte() which sets a writable + clean pte.
CPU0 releases the mmap_sem
d) CPU1 acquires the mmap_sem and proceeds to handle_pte_fault(). The
pte entry it reads is present, writable and clean and it continues
to pte_mkyoung()
e) CPU1 calls ptep_set_access_flags()
If between (d) and (e) the hardware (another CPU) updates the dirty
state (clears PTE_RDONLY), CPU1 will override the PTR_RDONLY bit
marking the entry clean again.
This patch implements an arm64-specific ptep_set_access_flags() function
to perform an atomic update of the PTE flags.

There are two problems with the UEFI stub DT memory node removal
routine:
- it deletes nodes as it traverses the tree, which happens to work
but is not supported, as deletion invalidates the node iterator;
- deleting memory nodes entirely may discard annotations in the form
of additional properties on the nodes.
Since the discovery of DT memory nodes occurs strictly before the
UEFI init sequence, we can simply clear the memblock memory table
before parsing the UEFI memory map. This way, it is no longer
necessary to remove the nodes, so we can remove that logic from the
stub as well.

The mapping of the kernel consist of four segments, each of which is mapped
with different permission attributes and/or lifetimes. To optimize the TLB
and translation table footprint, we define various opaque constants in the
linker script that resolve to different aligment values depending on the
page size and whether CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set.
Considering that
- a 4 KB granule kernel benefits from a 64 KB segment alignment (due to
the fact that it allows the use of the contiguous bit),
- the minimum alignment of the .data segment is THREAD_SIZE already, not
PAGE_SIZE (i.e., we already have padding between _data and the start of
the .data payload in many cases),
- 2 MB is a suitable alignment value on all granule sizes, either for
mapping directly (level 2 on 4 KB), or via the contiguous bit (level 3 on
16 KB and 64 KB),
- anything beyond 2 MB exceeds the minimum alignment mandated by the boot
protocol, and can only be mapped efficiently if the physical alignment
happens to be the same,
we can simplify this by standardizing on 64 KB (or 2 MB) explicitly, i.e.,
regardless of granule size, all segments are aligned either to 64 KB, or to
2 MB if CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y. This also means we can drop the Kconfig
dependency of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA on CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

Keeping .head.text out of the .text mapping buys us very little: its actual
payload is only 4 KB, most of which is padding, but the page alignment may
add up to 2 MB (in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y) of additional
padding to the uncompressed kernel Image.
Also, on 4 KB granule kernels, the 4 KB misalignment of .text forces us to
map the adjacent 56 KB of code without the PTE_CONT attribute, and since
this region contains things like the vector table and the GIC interrupt
handling entry point, this region is likely to benefit from the reduced TLB
pressure that results from PTE_CONT mappings.
So remove the alignment between the .head.text and .text sections, and use
the [_text, _etext) rather than the [_stext, _etext) interval for mapping
the .text segment.

Apart from the arm64/linux and EFI header data structures, there is nothing
in the .head.text section that must reside at the beginning of the Image.
So let's move it to the .init section where it belongs.
Note that this involves some minor tweaking of the EFI header, primarily
because the address of 'stext' no longer coincides with the start of the
.text section. It also requires a couple of relocated symbol references
to be slightly rewritten or their definition moved to the linker script.

Instead of going out of our way to relocate the initrd if it turns out
to occupy memory that is not covered by the linear mapping, just add the
initrd to the linear mapping. This puts the burden on the bootloader to
pass initrd= and mem= options that are mutually consistent.
Note that, since the placement of the linear region in the PA space is
also dependent on the placement of the kernel Image, which may reside
anywhere in memory, we may still end up with a situation where the initrd
and the kernel Image are simply too far apart to be covered by the linear
region.
Since we now leave it up to the bootloader to pass the initrd in memory
that is guaranteed to be accessible by the kernel, add a mention of this to

After choosing memstart_addr to be the highest multiple of
ARM64_MEMSTART_ALIGN less than or equal to the first usable physical memory
address, we clip the memblocks to the maximum size of the linear region.
Since the kernel may be high up in memory, we take care not to clip the
kernel itself, which means we have to clip some memory from the bottom if
this occurs, to ensure that the distance between the first and the last
usable physical memory address can be covered by the linear region.
However, we fail to update memstart_addr if this clipping from the bottom
occurs, which means that we may still end up with virtual addresses that
wrap into the userland range. So increment memstart_addr as appropriate to
prevent this from happening.

This reverts commit 1028b55baf.
It's broken: it makes ext4 return an error at an invalid point, causing
the readdir wrappers to write the the position of the last successful
directory entry into the position field, which means that the next
readdir will now return that last successful entry _again_.
You can only return fatal errors (that terminate the readdir directory
walk) from within the filesystem readdir functions, the "normal" errors
(that happen when the readdir buffer fills up, for example) happen in
the iterorator where we know the position of the actual failing entry.
I do have a very different patch that does the "signal_pending()"
handling inside the iterator function where it is allowable, but while
that one passes all the sanity checks, I screwed up something like four
times while emailing it out, so I'm not going to commit it today.
So my track record is not good enough, and the stars will have to align
better before that one gets committed. And it would be good to get some
review too, of course, since celestial alignments are always an iffy
debugging model.
IOW, let's just revert the commit that caused the problem for now.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
"Since commit 0de798584b ("parisc: Use generic extable search and
sort routines") module loading is boken on parisc, because the parisc
module loader wasn't prepared for the new R_PARISC_PCREL32 relocations.
In addition, due to that breakage, Mikulas Patocka noticed that
handling exceptions from modules probably never worked on parisc. It
was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules don't happen
during normal use.
This patch series fixes those issues and survives the tests of the
lib/test_user_copy kernel module test. Some patches are tagged for
stable"

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Three fixes, the first two are tagged for -stable:
- The ndctl utility/library gained expanded unit tests illuminating a
long standing bug in the libnvdimm SMART data retrieval
implementation.
It has been broken since its initial implementation, now fixed.
- Another one line fix for the detection of stale info blocks.
Without this change userspace can get into a situation where it is
unable to reconfigure a namespace.
- Fix the badblock initialization path in the presence of the new (in
v4.6-rc1) section alignment workarounds.
Without this change badblocks will be reported at the wrong offset.
These have received a build success report from the kbuild robot and
have appeared in -next with no reported issues"
* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
libnvdimm, pfn: fix nvdimm_namespace_add_poison() vs section alignment
libnvdimm, pfn: fix uuid validation
libnvdimm: fix smart data retrieval
Core fixes:
- Defer GPIO device setup until after gpiolib is initialized.
It turns out that a few very tightly integrated GPIO platform
drivers initialize so early (befor core_initcall()) so that
the gpiolib isn't even initialized itself. That limits what
the library can do, and we cannot reference uninitialized
fields until later. Defer some of the initialization until
right after the gpiolib is initialized in these (rare) cases.
- As a consequence: do not use devm_* resources when allocating
the states in the initial set-up of the gpiochip.
Driver fixes:
- In ACPI retrieveal: ignore GpioInt when looking for output
GPIOs.
- Fix legacy builds on the PXA without a backing pin controller.
- Use correct datatype on pca953x register writes.
