Commit 149c24151e85 ("ARM: SMP: use a timing out completion for cpu
hotplug") modified arm's CPU up path to use completions. It seems that
we only got half of this patch for arm64, so add the missing call to
complete.Reported-by: Jon Brawn

struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state
instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use
regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs
and dump_fpu.Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so
that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle
counter instead.The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the
architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other
event.This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that
we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU
implementations.Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the
kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint
in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will
fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint.This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled
breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further
sanity-checking is required.Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to
the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates
must be aligned to their most aligned member).This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct
user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

According to Documentation/arm64/booting.txt, the kernel image must be
loaded at a pre-defined offset from the start of RAM so that the kernel
can calculate PHYS_OFFSET based on this address. If the DT contains
memory blocks below this PHYS_OFFSET, report them and ignore the
corresponding memory range.Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

Pull arm64 uapi disintegration from Catalin Marinas:
"UAPI headers for arm64 together with some clean-up to make it
possible:
- Do not export the COMPAT_* definitions to user
- Simplify the compat unistd32.h definitions and remove the
__SYSCALL_COMPAT guard
- Disintegrate the arch/arm64/include/asm/* headers"* tag 'arm64-uapi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64:
UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate arch/arm64/include/asm
arm64: Do not export the compat-specific definitions to the user
arm64: Do not include asm/unistd32.h in asm/unistd.h
arm64: Remove unused definitions from asm/unistd32.h -
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton

This patch adds #ifdef __KERNEL__ guards around the COMPAT_* definitions

This patch removes the compat __NR_* definitions from the unistd32.h
file and only keeps those that are used by the AArch64 kernel with a new
__NR_compat_* prefix. The additional wrapper definitions in
arch/arm64/kernel/sys32.S have been removed and the actual wrapper names
included in the asm/unistd32.h file.Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

task_work_run() implementation had the side effect of enabling

This is a preparatory patch for the introduction of NT_SIGINFO elf note.
Make the location of compat_siginfo_t uniform across eight architectures
which have it. Now it can be pulled in by including asm/compat.h or
linux/compat.h.Most of the copies are verbatim. compat_uid[32]_t had to be replaced by
__compat_uid[32]_t. compat_uptr_t had to be moved up before
compat_siginfo_t in asm/compat.h on a several architectures (tile already
had it moved up). compat_sigval_t had to be relocated from linux/compat.h
to asm/compat.h.Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko

This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions
for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the
clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock.The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0

This patch adds support for 32-bit applications. The vectors page is a
binary blob mapped into the application user space at 0xffff0000 (the
AArch64 toolchain does not support compilation of AArch32 code). Full
compatibility with ARMv7 user space is supported. The use of deprecated
ARMv7 functionality (SWP, CP15 barriers) has been disabled by default on
AArch64 kernels and unaligned LDM/STM is not supported.Please note that only the ARM 32-bit EABI is supported, so no OABI

This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit
applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the
canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used
for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and
flush the caches entirely from user space.The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains
pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the
use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for
AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release
instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies
that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive
monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an
explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to
set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a
branch is more expensive.For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.
