'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' results in address<1:0> == '10'.
sub pc, pc, #const (== ADR pc, #const) performs an interworking branch
(BXWritePC()) on ARMv7+ and a simple branch (BranchWritePC()) on earlier
versions.
In ARM state, BXWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE when address<1:0> == '10'.
In ARM state on ARMv6+, BranchWritePC() ignores address<1:0>. Before
ARMv6, BranchWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE if address<1:0> != '00'
So the instruction is UNPREDICTABLE both before and after v6.

We currently return -EPERM if the user requests mode exclusion that is
not supported by the CPU. This looks pretty confusing from userspace
and is inconsistent with other architectures (ppc, x86).
This patch returns -EOPNOTSUPP instead.

This reverts commit 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252.
Conflicts:
arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c
The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an
interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If
a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the
TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed
from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously
interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning
that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a
system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the
restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to
restart the originally interrupted system call.
The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the
kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the
restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new
method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error:
Inconsistent kallsyms data
This is a bug - please report about it
Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround
The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker.
The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel
without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols
included. Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing
their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same
result.
On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty. Depending on the where the
alignment ends up, it can come out as either:
+-------------------+
| last text segment |
+-------------------+
/* padding */
+-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
| per cpu (empty) |
+-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
/* padding */
__data_loc:
+-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
| data |
+-------------------+
or
+-------------------+
| last text segment |
+-------------------+
/* padding */
+-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt
| per cpu (empty) |
+-------------------+
__per_cpu_end:
/* no padding */
__data_loc:
+-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment
| data |
+-------------------+
if the alignment satisfies both. Because symbols that have the same
address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different
order than the first case. This changes the compression, changing the
size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure.
The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still
possible to have the alignment change between the second and third
pass. It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint.
The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty,
and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the
text segments). Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on
SMP, when it is not empty.

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler(); called when
sigframe has been successfully built. All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).
I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main thread may
exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a
valid mm.
To fix this we would need to use find_lock_task_mm(), which would walk up
all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held).
clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() has this issue fixed, so let's use it.

Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
(mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory
Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.
The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
chunk of physically contiguous memory.
For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:
- 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/
- 'CMA and ARM':
http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
- 'A deep dive into CMA':
http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/
- and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
versions:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204
The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.
The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common
struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than
one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is
dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
core, common code.
The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.
For more information please refer to the following thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html
The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.
Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM
architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices
are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be
created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board
initialisation).
Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page
tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping
is updated to to match requested memory access type.
GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created
early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on
allocation time.
CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch:
"perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object"
That depends on:
commit e7c72d8
perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsing
Conflicts:
tools/perf/builtin-stat.c
Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the
result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope
with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits
were not used.

Most PCI implementations perform simple root bus scanning. Rather than
having each group of platforms provide a duplicated bus scan function,
provide the PCI configuration ops structure via the hw_pci structure,
and call the root bus scanning function from core ARM PCI code.

Most PCI implementations use the standard PCI swizzle function, which
handles the well defined behaviour of PCI-to-PCI bridges which can be
found on cards (eg, four port ethernet cards.)
Rather than having almost every platform specify the standard swizzle
function, make this the default when no swizzle function is supplied.
Therefore, a swizzle function only needs to be provided when there is
something exceptional which needs to be handled.
This gets rid of the swizzle initializer from 47 files, and leaves us
with just two platforms specifying a swizzle function: ARM Integrator
and Chalice CATS.

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

Commit 4e8ee7de227e3ab9a72040b448ad728c5428a042 (ARM: SMP: use
idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting)
switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized
during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during
__cpu_up. This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings
but be missing all dynamic mappings.
If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the
printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on
the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been
initialized, leading to a hang. Initial boot is not affected
because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually
not affected because the offending console is suspended.
Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem.
A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until
after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.

At the moment, read_persistent_clock is implemented at the
platform level, which makes it impossible to compile these
platforms in a single kernel.
Implement these two functions at the architecture level, and
provide a thin registration interface for both read_boot_clock
and read_persistent_clock. The two affected platforms (OMAP and
Tegra) are converted at the same time.

The ARM audit code incorrectly uses the saved application ip register
value to infer syscall entry or exit. Additionally, the saved value will
be clobbered if the current task is not being traced, which can lead to
libc corruption if ip is live (apparently glibc uses it for the TLS
pointer).
This patch fixes the syscall tracing code so that the why parameter is
used to infer the syscall direction and the saved ip is only updated if
we know that we will be signalling a ptrace trap.
