4da3782151 [ARM] omap: clk_set_parent: deny changing parent if clock is enabled
Richard Woodruff writes:
| The historic usage of this has been against single use leaf clocks
| (1st instance of gptimer).  When it was used it did:
|       clk_get()
|       clk_set_parent()
|       clk_enable()
|
| This usage was ok for that. Use on a disabled clock is needed.

| If there are multiple users on the clock or it is enabled there are
| problems.
|
| The call can still be unfriendly if 2 different drivers are using the

This is a good reason to ensure that the clock is not enabled when
clk_set_parent() is called.

867c5b5292 x86: set_highmem_pages_init() cleanup
Impact: cleanup

This patch moves set_highmem_pages_init() to arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c.

The declaration of the function is kept in asm/numa_32.h because
asm/highmem.h is included only if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled so we
can't put the empty static inline function there.

b57ee99fab [ARM] 5417/1: Set the correct cacheid for ARMv6 CPUs with ARMv7 style MMU
The cacheid_init() function assumes that if cpu_architecture() returns
7, the caches are VIPT_NONALIASING. The cpu_architecture() function
returns the version of the supported MMU features (e.g. TEX remapping)
but it doesn't make any assumptions about the cache type. The patch adds
the checking of the Cache Type Register for the ARMv7 format.

This is because the #ifdef's in bfin_serial_5xx.h are messed up. More
specifically, they add/remove the uart_{rts,cts}_pin fields in
bfin_serial_resources based on whether the particular port has rts/cts enabled,
as opposed to when either port has it enabled.

This patch fixed this.

5b1017404a x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

ccbe495caa x86-64: syscall-audit: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases, audit_syscall_entry() will use the wrong system
call number table and the wrong system call argument registers.  This
could be used to circumvent a syscall audit configuration that filters
based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

c79a61f557 tracing: make CALLER_ADDRx overwriteable
The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms.
E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and
AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working
__builtin_return_address.  This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx
macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence.

Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in
<linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an
empty one for free.

9976b39b50 xen: deal with virtually mapped percpu data
The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems:

 - for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable
   walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and

 - when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases,
   we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the
   linear mapping

This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.

389d1fb11e x86: unify chunks of kernel/process*.c
With x86-32 and -64 using the same mechanism for managing the
tss io permissions bitmap, large chunks of process*.c are
trivially unifyable, including:

 - exit_thread
 - flush_thread
 - __switch_to_xtra (along with tsc enable/disable)

and as bonus pickups:

 - sys_fork
 - sys_vfork

(Note: asmlinkage expands to empty on x86-64)

db949bba3c x86-32: use non-lazy io bitmap context switching
Impact: remove 32-bit optimization to prepare unification

x86-32 and -64 differ in the way they context-switch tasks
with io permission bitmaps.  x86-64 simply copies the next
tasks io bitmap into place (if any) on context switch.  x86-32
invalidates the bitmap on context switch, so that the next
IO instruction will fault; at that point it installs the
appropriate IO bitmap.

This makes context switching IO-bitmap-using tasks a bit more
less expensive, at the cost of making the next IO instruction
slower due to the extra fault.  This tradeoff only makes sense
if IO-bitmap-using processes are relatively common, but they
don't actually use IO instructions very often.

However, in a typical desktop system, the only process likely
to be using IO bitmaps is the X server, and nothing at all on
a server.  Therefore the lazy context switch doesn't really win
all that much, and its just a gratuitious difference from
64-bit code.

This patch removes the lazy context switch, with a view to
unifying this code in a later change.
