Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "A few fixes for ARM. Some of these are correctness issues: - TLBs must be flushed after the old mappings are removed by the DMA mapping code, but before the new mappings are established. - An off-by-one entry error in the Keystone LPAE setup code. Fixes include: - ensuring that the identity mapping for LPAE does not remove the kernel image from the identity map. - preventing userspace from trapping into kgdb. - fixing a preemption issue in the Intel iwmmxt code. - fixing a build error with nommu. Other changes include: - Adding a note about which areas of memory are expected to be accessible while the identity mapping tables are in place" * 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: ARM: 8124/1: don't enter kgdb when userspace executes a kgdb break instruction ARM: idmap: add identity mapping usage note ARM: 8115/1: LPAE: reduce damage caused by idmap to virtual memory layout ARM: fix alignment of keystone page table fixup ARM: 8112/1: only select ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT if MMU is enabled ARM: 8100/1: Fix preemption disable in iwmmxt_task_enable() ARM: DMA: ensure that old section mappings are flushed from the TLB

ARM: 8124/1: don't enter kgdb when userspace executes a kgdb break instruction

2014-08-02T14:20:30Z

The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn) should only be entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed from the kernel. Otherwise, if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program can cause the kernel to drop into the debugger by executing either KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK.

ARM: idmap: add identity mapping usage note

2014-08-02T14:20:26Z

Add a note about the usage of the identity mapping; we do not support accesses outside of the identity map region and kernel image while a CPU is using the identity map. This is because the identity mapping may overwrite vmalloc space, IO mappings, the vectors pages, etc. Acked-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Russell King

Pull x86 fix from Peter Anvin: "A single fix to not invoke the espfix code on Xen PV, as it turns out to oops the guest when invoked after all. This patch leaves some amount of dead code, in particular unnecessary initialization of the espfix stacks when they won't be used, but in the interest of keeping the patch minimal that cleanup can wait for the next cycle" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86_64/entry/xen: Do not invoke espfix64 on Xen
