Russell King faabfa0816 ARM: SMP: ensure frame pointer is reinitialized for soft-CPU hotplug
When we soft-CPU hotplug a CPU, we reset the stack pointer and
jump back to start_secondary().  This allows us to restart as if
the CPU was actually reset.

However, we weren't resetting the frame pointer, which could cause
problems with backtracing.  Reset the frame pointer to zero (which
means no parent frame) just like the early assembly code also does.

Russell King 10034aabca ARM: localtimer: clean up local timer on hot unplug
When a CPU is hot unplugged, the generic tick code cleans up the
clock event device, but fails to call down to the device's set_mode
function to actually shut the device down.

To work around this, we've historically had a local_timer_stop()
callback out of the hotplug code.  However, this adds needless
complexity when we have the clock event device itself available.

Explicitly call the clock event device's set_mode function with
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED, so that the hardware can be cleanly shutdown
without any special external callbacks.  When/if the generic code
is fixed, percpu_timer_stop() can be killed off.

Russell King d4450261e5 ARM: CPU hotplug: fix reporting of spurious wakeups
The original scheme for reporting spurious wakeups was broken - it
tried to use printk() from a context which wasn't coherent with the
other CPUs, which risks corrupting the printk() data.

Fix this by noting the number spurious wakeups, and only report them
when we are properly woken - when we will be coherent with the rest
of the system.

Russell King 58613cd1d4 ARM: smp: improve CPU bringup failure diagnostics
We used to print a bland error message which gave no clue as to the
failure when we failed to bring up a secondary CPU.  Resolve this by
separating the two failure cases.

If boot_secondary() fails, we print a message indicating the returned
error code from boot_secondary():
	"CPU%u: failed to boot: %d\n", cpu, ret.

However, if boot_secondary() succeeded, but the CPU did not appear to
mark itself online within the timeout, indicate that it failed to come
online:
	"CPU%u: failed to come online\n", cpu

Russell King 3705ff6da5 ARM: Fix subtle race in CPU pen_release hotplug code
There is a subtle race in the CPU hotplug code, where a CPU which has
been offlined can online itself before being requested, which results
in things going astray on the next online/offline cycle.

What happens in the normal online/offline/online cycle is:

	CPU0			CPU3
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1
	... requests CPU3 offline ...
				... dies ...
				checks pen_release, reads -1
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1

However, as the write of -1 of pen_release is not fully flushed back to
memory, and the checking of pen_release is done with caches disabled,
this allows CPU3 the opportunity to read the old value of pen_release:

	CPU0			CPU3
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1
	... requests CPU3 offline ...
				... dies ...
				checks pen_release, reads 3
				starts boot
				pen_release = -1
	requests boot of CPU3
	pen_release = 3
	flush cache line

Fix this by grouping the write of pen_release along with its cache line
flushing code to ensure that any update to pen_release is always pushed
out to physical memory.

Dave Martin ed3768a8d9 ARM: 6516/1: Allow SMP_ON_UP to work with Thumb-2 kernels.
* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the
    THUMB2_KERNEL case.  For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split
    into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on
    unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on.

    No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the
    number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep
    the code as simple as possible.

  * Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support
    CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre.

  * Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that
    the content really is the right size (4 bytes).

    (No check is done for ALT_SMP().  Possibly, this could be fixed
    by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus
    ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros.  In the first case,
    ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.)

  * smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due
    to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected
    instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct
    instruction size is satisfied in this case.

  * A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb:

    smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser)
    smp_dmb     @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP()

    This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb,
    when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page.

    There might be a better way to achieve this.

  * Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on
    (!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now
    supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2
    currently assumes little-endian order.)

Tested using a single generic realview kernel on:
	ARM RealView PB-A8 (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL={n,y})
	ARM RealView PBX-A9 (SMP)

Oleg Nesterov 114279be21 exec: copy-and-paste the fixes into compat_do_execve() paths
Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible.
That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and
uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later.

compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has
two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory
is not visible to oom killer.

Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings()
to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0)
as do_execve() does.

Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and
compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly
makes sense.

Oleg Nesterov 3c77f84572 exec: make argv/envp memory visible to oom-killer
Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that
evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT):
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c

execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but
this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent
bprm->mm and take it into account.

With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES
counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When
do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back.

Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new
page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but
I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct
once exec changes ->mm or fails.

use the appropriate RCU call version.

Dave Airlie bcb38ceb22 Revert "debug_locks: set oops_in_progress if we will log messages."
This reverts commit e0fdace10e.

On-list discussion seems to suggest that the robustness fixes for printk
make this unnecessary and DaveM has also agreed in person at Kernel Summit
and on list.

The main problem with this code is once we hit a lockdep splat we always
keep oops_in_progress set, the console layer uses oops_in_progress with KMS
to decide when it should be showing the oops and not showing X, so it causes
problems around suspend/resume time when a userspace resume can cause a console
switch away from X, only if oops_in_progress is set (which is what we want
if an oops actually is in progress, but not because we had a lockdep splat
2 days prior).
