<id>urn:sha1:3df3b2efc065e71ba5edda9fa9b3cab1933d131c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit dd86e373e09fb16b83e8adf5c48c421a4ca76468 upstream.

The package management code in RAPL relies on package mapping being
available before a CPU is started. This changed with:

  9d85eb9119f4 ("x86/smpboot: Make logical package management more robust")

because the ACPI/BIOS information turned out to be unreliable, but that
left RAPL in broken state. This was not noticed because on a regular boot
all CPUs are online before RAPL is initialized.

A possible fix would be to reintroduce the mess which allocates a package
data structure in CPU prepare and when it turns out to already exist in
starting throw it away later in the CPU online callback. But that's a
horrible hack and not required at all because RAPL becomes functional for
perf only in the CPU online callback. That's correct because user space is
not yet informed about the CPU being onlined, so nothing caan rely on RAPL
being available on that particular CPU.

Move the allocation to the CPU online callback and simplify the hotplug
handling. At this point the package mapping is established and correct.

This also adds a missing check for available package data in the
event_init() function.

<title>clocksource/dummy_timer: Move hotplug callback after the real timers</title>

commit 9bf11ecce5a2758e5a097c2f3a13d08552d0d6f9 upstream.

When the dummy timer callback is invoked before the real timer callbacks,
then it tries to install that timer for the starting CPU. If the platform
does not have a broadcast timer installed the installation fails with a
kernel crash. The crash happens due to a unconditional deference of the non
available broadcast device. This needs to be fixed in the timer core code.

But even when this is fixed in the core code then installing the dummy
timer before the real timers is a pointless exercise.

Move it to the end of the callback list.

<title>clocksource: Add J-Core timer/clocksource driver</title>
<updated>2016-10-20T18:10:17Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Rich Felker</name>
<email>dalias@libc.org</email>
</author>
<published>2016-10-13T21:51:06Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=9995f4f184613fb02ee73092b03545520a72b104'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9995f4f184613fb02ee73092b03545520a72b104</id>
<content type='text'>
At the hardware level, the J-Core PIT is integrated with the interrupt
controller, but it is represented as its own device and has an
independent programming interface. It provides a 12-bit countdown
timer, which is not presently used, and a periodic timer. The interval
length for the latter is programmable via a 32-bit throttle register
whose units are determined by a bus-period register. The periodic
timer is used to implement both periodic and oneshot clock event
modes; in oneshot mode the interrupt handler simply disables the timer
as soon as it fires.

Despite its device tree node representing an interrupt for the PIT,
the actual irq generated is programmable, not hard-wired. The driver
is responsible for programming the PIT to generate the hardware irq
number that the DT assigns to it.

On SMP configurations, J-Core provides cpu-local instances of the PIT;
no broadcast timer is needed. This driver supports the creation of the
necessary per-cpu clock_event_device instances.

A nanosecond-resolution clocksource is provided using the J-Core "RTC"
registers, which give a 64-bit seconds count and 32-bit nanoseconds
that wrap every second. The driver converts these to a full-range
32-bit nanoseconds count.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - Correct ARMs dma-mapping to use the correct printk format strings.

 - Avoid defining OBJCOPYFLAGS globally which upsets lkdtm rodata
   testing.

 - Cleanups to ARMs asm/memory.h include.

 - L2 cache cleanups.

 - Allow flat nommu binaries to be executed on ARM MMU systems.

 - Kernel hardening - add more read-only after init annotations,
   including making some kernel vdso variables const.

 - Ensure AMBA primecell clocks are appropriately defaulted.

 - ARM breakpoint cleanup.

 - Various StrongARM 11x0 and companion chip (SA1111) updates to bring
   this legacy platform to use more modern APIs for (eg) GPIOs and
   interrupts, which will allow us in the future to reduce some of the
   board-level driver clutter and elimate function callbacks into board
   code via platform data. There still appears to be interest in these
   platforms!

 - Remove the now redundant secure_flush_area() API.

 - Module PLT relocation optimisations. Ard says: This series of 4
   patches optimizes the ARM PLT generation code that is invoked at
   module load time, to get rid of the O(n^2) algorithm that results in
   pathological load times of 10 seconds or more for large modules on
   certain STB platforms.

 - ARMv7M cache maintanence support.

 - L2 cache PMU support

Pull CPU hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another batch of cpu hotplug core updates and conversions:

   - Provide core infrastructure for multi instance drivers so the
     drivers do not have to keep custom lists.

   - Convert custom lists to the new infrastructure. The block-mq custom
     list conversion comes through the block tree and makes the diffstat
     tip over to more lines removed than added.

   - Handle unbalanced hotplug enable/disable calls more gracefully.

   - Remove the obsolete CPU_STARTING/DYING notifier support.

   - Convert another batch of notifier users.

   The relayfs changes which conflicted with the conversion have been
   shipped to me by Andrew.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "It's a bit all over the place this time with no "killer feature" to
  speak of.  Support for mismatched cache line sizes should help people
  seeing whacky JIT failures on some SoCs, and the big.LITTLE perf
  updates have been a long time coming, but a lot of the changes here
  are cleanups.

  We stray outside arch/arm64 in a few areas: the arch/arm/ arch_timer
  workaround is acked by Russell, the DT/OF bits are acked by Rob, the
  arch_timer clocksource changes acked by Marc, CPU hotplug by tglx and
  jump_label by Peter (all CC'd).

  Summary:

   - Support for execute-only page permissions
   - Support for hibernate and DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
   - Support for heterogeneous systems with mismatches cache line sizes
   - Errata workarounds (A53 843419 update and QorIQ A-008585 timer bug)
   - arm64 PMU perf updates, including cpumasks for heterogeneous systems
   - Set UTS_MACHINE for building rpm packages
   - Yet another head.S tidy-up
   - Some cleanups and refactoring, particularly in the NUMA code
   - Lots of random, non-critical fixes across the board"
