Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson: "Two more fixes for 4.5: - One is a fix for OMAP that is urgently needed to avoid DRA7xx chips from premature aging, by always keeping the Ethernet clock enabled. - The other solves a I/O memory layout issue on Armada, where SROM and PCI memory windows were conflicting in some configurations" * tag 'armsoc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: ARM: mvebu: fix overlap of Crypto SRAM with PCIe memory window ARM: dts: dra7: do not gate cpsw clock due to errata i877 ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Introduce ti,no-idle dt property

KVM: MMU: fix ept=0/pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0/CR4.SMEP=1/EFER.NX=0 combo

2016-03-10T10:26:07Z

Yes, all of these are needed. :) This is admittedly a bit odd, but kvm-unit-tests access.flat tests this if you run it with "-cpu host" and of course ept=0. KVM runs the guest with CR0.WP=1, so it must handle supervisor writes specially when pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0. Such writes cause a fault when U=1 and W=0 in the SPTE, but they must succeed because CR0.WP=0. When KVM gets the fault, it sets U=0 and W=1 in the shadow PTE and restarts execution. This will still cause a user write to fault, while supervisor writes will succeed. User reads will fault spuriously now, and KVM will then flip U and W again in the SPTE (U=1, W=0). User reads will be enabled and supervisor writes disabled, going back to the originary situation where supervisor writes fault spuriously. When SMEP is in effect, however, U=0 will enable kernel execution of this page. To avoid this, KVM also sets NX=1 in the shadow PTE together with U=0. If the guest has not enabled NX, the result is a continuous stream of page faults due to the NX bit being reserved. The fix is to force EFER.NX=1 even if the CPU is taking care of the EFER switch. (All machines with SMEP have the CPU_LOAD_IA32_EFER vm-entry control, so they do not use user-return notifiers for EFER---if they did, EFER.NX would be forced to the same value as the host). There is another bug in the reserved bit check, which I've split to a separate patch for easier application to stable kernels.

ARM: OMAP2+: critical DRA7xx fix for v4.5-rc Force the DRA7xx Ethernet internal clock source to stay enabled per TI erratum i877: http://www.ti.com/lit/er/sprz429h/sprz429h.pdf Otherwise, if the Ethernet internal clock source is disabled, the chip will age prematurely, and the RGMII I/O timing will soon fail to meet the delay time and skew specifications for 1000Mbps Ethernet. This fix should go in as soon as possible.

ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Introduce ti,no-idle dt property

2016-03-07T08:41:21Z

Introduce a dt property, ti,no-idle, that prevents an IP to idle at any point. This is to handle Errata i877, which tells that GMAC clocks cannot be disabled.

2016-02-24T08:10:11Z

Two omap fixes for omaps against v4.5-rc5: - Yet another fix for n900 onenand to avoid corruption. This time to fix the issue of mounting onenand back and forth between the original maemo kernel and mainline Linux kernel. And it also seems there will be two more fixes coming via the MTD tree as issues were discovered also in the onenand driver during testing. - Revert tps65217 regulator clean up as it breaks MMC for am335x variants. The proper way to clean this up is just to rename the tps65217.dtsi file into tps65217-am335x.dtsi as a similar setup is used on many am335x boards. * tag 'omap-for-v4.5/fixes-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: ARM: OMAP2+: Fix onenand initialization to avoid filesystem corruption Revert "regulator: tps65217: remove tps65217.dtsi file" Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson
