If poweroff takes a bit more time (e.g. due to I2C call), it is
quite likely that another timer interrupt fires. Timer interrupt
get broadcasted through the timer interrupt callback
tick_handle_oneshot_broadcast. This code broadcasts the timer
interrupt to all CPU's in tick_broadcast_oneshot_mask. The only
function which removes CPU from this mask is
tick_shutdown_broadcast_oneshot which ultimately get called by
_cpu_down (in kernel/cpu.c). The function disable_nonboot_cpus
makes sure that the CPU's get properly taken down and _cpu_down
gets called. With that no more broadcasts are sent to CPU's which
are no longer online.

commit fbfb872f5f417cea48760c535e0ff027c88b507a upstream.
The TPIDRURO and TPIDRURW registers need to be flushed during exec;
otherwise TLS information is potentially leaked. TPIDRURO in
particular needs careful treatment. Since flush_thread basically
needs the same code used to set the TLS in arm_syscall, pull that into
a common set_tls helper in tls.h and use it in both places.
Similarly, TEEHBR needs to be cleared during exec as well. Clearing
its save slot in thread_info isn't right as there is no guarantee
that a thread switch will occur before the new program runs. Just
setting the register directly is sufficient.

get_wchan() is lockless. Task may wakeup at any time and change its own stack,
thus each next stack frame may be overwritten and filled with random stuff.
/proc/$pid/stack interface had been disabled for non-current tasks, see [1]
But 'wchan' still allows to trigger stack frame unwinding on volatile stack.
This patch fixes oops in unwind_frame() by adding stack pointer validation on
each step (as x86 code do), unwind_frame() already checks frame pointer.
Also I've found another report of this oops on stackoverflow (irony).

Unfortunately, I never committed the fix to a nasty oops which can
occur as a result of that commit:
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at /home/olof/work/batch/include/linux/mm.h:414!
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 490 Comm: killall5 Not tainted 3.11.0-rc3-00288-gabe0308 #53
task: e90acac0 ti: e9be8000 task.ti: e9be8000
PC is at special_mapping_fault+0xa4/0xc4
LR is at __do_fault+0x68/0x48c
This doesn't show up unless you do quite a bit of testing; a simple
boot test does not do this, so all my nightly tests were passing fine.
The reason for this is that install_special_mapping() expects the
page array to stick around, and as this was only inserting one page
which was stored on the kernel stack, that's why this was blowing up.

If one process calls sys_reboot and that process then stops other
CPUs while those CPUs are within a spin_lock() region we can
potentially encounter a deadlock scenario like below.
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
spin_lock(my_lock)
smp_send_stop()
<send IPI> handle_IPI()
disable_preemption/irqs
while(1);
<PREEMPT>
spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever
We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop
IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to
completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch
consistency with x86.

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in
the vectors page. This allows us to place them randomly within this
page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace
further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks. The new
VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page.

Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to
prevent it from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.
There are more and more applications coming to Windows RT,
Wine could support them, but mostly they expect to have
the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.
This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

Add comments to machine_shutdown()/halt()/power_off()/restart() that
describe their purpose and/or requirements re: CPUs being active/not.
In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call to
disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU, thus
satisfying the requirement that only a single CPU be active for kexec.
Adjust Kconfig dependencies for this change.
In machine_halt()/power_off()/restart(), call smp_send_stop() directly,
rather than via machine_shutdown(); these functions don't need to
completely de-activate all CPUs using hotplug, but rather just quiesce
them.
Remove smp_kill_cpus(), and its call from smp_send_stop().
smp_kill_cpus() was indirectly calling smp_ops.cpu_kill() without calling
smp_ops.cpu_die() on the target CPUs first. At least some implementations
of smp_ops had issues with this; it caused cpu_kill() to hang on Tegra,
for example. Since smp_send_stop() is only used for shutdown, halt, and
power-off, there is no need to attempt any kind of CPU hotplug here.
Adjust Kconfig to reflect that machine_shutdown() (and hence kexec)
relies upon disable_nonboot_cpus(). However, this alone doesn't guarantee
that hotplug will work, or even that hotplug is implemented for a
particular piece of HW that a multi-platform zImage runs on. Hence, add
error-checking to machine_kexec() to determine whether it did work.

If one reads /proc/$PID/smaps, the mmap_sem belonging to the
address space of the task being examined is locked for reading.
All the pages of the vmas belonging to the task's address space
are then walked with this lock held.
If a gate_vma is present in the architecture, it too is examined
by the fs/proc/task_mmu.c code. As gate_vma doesn't belong to the
address space of the task though, its pages are not walked.
A recent cleanup (commit f6604efe) of the gate_vma initialisation
code set the vm_mm value to &init_mm. Unfortunately a non-NULL
vm_mm value in the gate_vma will cause the task_mmu code to attempt
to walk the pages of the gate_vma (with no mmap-sem lock held). If
one enables Transparent Huge Page support and vm debugging, this
will then cause OOPses as pmd_trans_huge_lock is called without
mmap_sem being locked.
This patch removes the .vm_mm value from gate_vma, restoring the
original behaviour of the task_mmu code.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.
show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.
* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.
alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
um, xtensa
* Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
The printed information is superset of what used to be there.
arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86
* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the
arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
Converted to use the generic version.
Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
"All architectures are converted to new model. Quite a bit of that
stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
- kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
or kernel_execve():
kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
successful do_execve() before returning.
kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
do transition to user mode anymore.
As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
resp. sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
architecture-independent.
- daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c
- struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.
- sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures

1. On ARM platform, "nohlt" can be used to prevent core from idle
process, returning immediately.
2. There are two interfaces, exported for other modules, named
"disable_hlt" and "enable_hlt" are used to enable/disable the
cpuidle mechanism by increasing/decreasing "hlt_counter".
Disable_hlt and enable_hlt are paired operation,
when you first call disable_hlt and then enable_hlt, the
semantics are right.
3. There is no obvious constraint to prevent user(driver/module)
code to prevent the case that enable_hlt is ahead of disable_hlt,
which is a fatal operation on kernel state change from user,
and there is no any WARNING or notification if the case happens
in current kernel code.
This patch aims to report BUG when the case happens, just like
what the kernel do when enable_irq is ahead of disable_irq.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/linux-leds into next/drivers
From Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@canonical.com>:
Based on Linus Walleij's ARM LED consolidation work, this patchset introduce a
new generic led trigger for CPU not only for ARM but also for others.
For enabling CPU idle event, CPU arch code should call ledtrig_cpu() stub to
trigger idle start or idle end event.
These patches convert old style LED driver in arch/arm to gpio_led or new led
driver interface. Against 3.5 release and build successfully for all the machines.
Test ledtrig-cpu driver on OMAP4 Panda board.
v9 --> v10
* fix compiling issue on versatile_defconfig reported by Russell King
* rebase to 3.5 kernel and move patches to new git tree
v8 --> v9:
* use mutex to replace rw_sema pointed out by Tim Gardner
* add a new struct led_trigger_cpu
* add lock_is_inited to record mutex lock initialization
v6 --> v7:
* add a patch to unify the led-trigger name
* fix some typo pointed
* use BUG_ON to detect CPU numbers during building stage
v5 --> v6:
* replace __get_cpu_var() to per_cpu()
* remove smp_processor_id() which is wrong with for_each_possible_cpu()
* test on real OMAP4 Panda board
* add comments about CPU hotplug in the CPU LED trigger driver
v4 --> v5:
* rebase all the patches on top of latest linux-next
* replace on_each_cpu() with for_each_possible_cpu()
* add some description of ledtrig_cpu() API
* remove old leds code from driver nwflash.c, which should use a new led trigger then
* this trigger driver can be built as module now
v3 --> v4:
* fix a typo pointed by Jochen Friedrich
* fix some building errors
* add Reviewed-by and Tested-by into patch log
v2 --> v3:
* almost rewrote the whole ledtrig-cpu driver, which is more simple
* every CPU will have a per-CPU trigger
* cpu trigger can be assigned to any leds
* fix a lockdep issue in led-trigger common code
* other fix according to review
v1 --> v2:
* remove select operations in Kconfig of every machines
* add back supporting of led in core module of mach-integrator
* solidate name scheme in ledtrig-cpu.c
* add comments of CPU_LED_* cpu led events
* fold patches of RealView and Versatile together
* add machine_is_ check during assabet led driver init
* add some Acked-by in patch logs
* remove code for simpad machine in machine-sa11000, since Jochen Friedrich
introduced gpiolib and gpio-led driver for simpad
* on Assabet and Netwinder machine, LED operations is reversed like:
setting bit means turn off leds
clearing bit means turn on leds
* add a new function to read CM_CTRL register for led driver
* 'for-arm-soc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cooloney/linux-leds:

The CPU will endlessly spin at the end of machine_halt and
machine_restart calls. However, this will lead to a soft lockup
warning after about 20 seconds, if CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled,
as system timer is still alive.
Disable interrupt before going to spin endlessly, so that the lockup
warning will never be seen.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system
Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible
hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes
problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55
Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses
the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating
the horrible hack VMAs into one.

Pull #1 ARM updates from Russell King:
"This one covers stuff which Arnd is waiting for me to push, as this is
shared between both our trees and probably other trees elsewhere.
Essentially, this contains:
- AMBA primecell device initializer updates - mostly shrinking the
size of the device declarations in platform code to something more
reasonable.
- Getting rid of the NO_IRQ crap from AMBA primecell stuff.
- Nicolas' idle cleanups. This in combination with the restart
cleanups from the last merge window results in a great many
mach/system.h files being deleted."

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).
Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.
The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.
The qemu code which implements this features is at:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.
I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.
This patch:
The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

Let's factor out the need_resched() check instead of having it duplicated
in every pm_idle implementations to avoid inconsistencies (omap2_pm_idle
is missing it already).
The forceful re-enablement of IRQs after pm_idle has returned can go.
The warning certainly doesn't trigger for existing users.
To get rid of the pm_idle calling convention oddity, let's introduce
arm_pm_idle() allowing for the local_irq_enable() to be factored out
from SOC specific implementations. The default pm_idle function becomes
a wrapper for arm_pm_idle and it takes care of enabling IRQs closer to
where they are initially disabled.
And finally move the comment explaining the reason for that turning off
of IRQs to a more proper location.
