This can't be NULL and we dereferenced it earlier. Smatch used to
ignore these things where the pointer was obviously non-NULL but I've
found that sometimes the intention was to check something else so we
were maybe missing bugs.

This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,
as demonstrated by Mathias Krause:

Add a DT node for the TRNG (True Random Number Generator) block.
Keep this block enabled as it does not depend on any external connection,
and thus should be available on all boards.

This module registers a crc32 algorithm and a crc32c algorithm
that use the optional CRC32 and CRC32C instructions in ARMv8.
Tested on AMD Seattle.
Improvement compared to crc32c-generic algorithm:
TCRYPT CRC32C speed test shows ~450% speedup.
Simple dd write tests to btrfs filesystem show ~30% speedup.

This patch enables a few things missing from our defconfig:
- PCI and MSI, including support for the x-gene host controller
- BPF JIT
- SPI, GPIO and MMC for Seattle
- GPIO for x-gene
- USB for Juno
- RTC
It also removes HMC_DRV, which was being built as a module for some
reason.

The Parallella board comes with a U-Boot bootloader that loads one of
two predefined FPGA bitstreams before booting the kernel. Both define an
AXI interface to the on-board Epiphany processor.
Enable clocks FCLK0..FCLK3 for the Programmable Logic by default.
Otherwise accessing, e.g., the ESYSRESET register freezes the board,
as seen with the Epiphany SDK tools e-reset and e-hw-rev, using /dev/mem.

Merge "ARM: imx: fixes for 3.18, 2nd round" from Shawn Guo:
"This is the second round of i.MX fixes for 3.18. The clk-vf610 fix is
relatively big, because it needs some adaption to the change made by
offending commit dc4805c2e78b (ARM: imx: remove ENABLE and BYPASS bits
from clk-pllv3 driver). And it should have been sent to you for earlier
-rc inclusion, but unfortunately it got delayed for some time because
Stefan wasn't aware of my email address change."
The i.MX fixes for 3.18, 2nd round:
- Fix a regression on Vybrid platform which is caused by commit
dc4805c2e78b (ARM: imx: remove ENABLE and BYPASS bits from clk-pllv3
driver), and results in a missing configuration on PLL clocks.
- Fix a regression with i.MX defconfig files where CONFIG_SPI option
gets lost accidentally.

So far, the required PLL's (PLL1/PLL2/PLL5) have been initialized
by boot loader and the kernel code defined fixed rates according
to those default configurations. Beginning with the USB PLL7 the
code started to initialize the PLL's itself (using imx_clk_pllv3).
However, since commit dc4805c2e78ba5a22ea1632f3e3e4ee601a1743b
(ARM: imx: remove ENABLE and BYPASS bits from clk-pllv3 driver)
imx_clk_pllv3 no longer takes care of the ENABLE and BYPASS bits,
hence the USB PLL were not configured correctly anymore.
This patch not only fixes those USB PLL's, but also makes use of
the imx_clk_pllv3 for all PLL's and alignes the code with the PLL
support of the i.MX6 series.

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:
{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
LD arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float
To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS; but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

Even if CMA is disabled, the for_each_memblock macro expands
to run reserve_bootmem once. Hence, reserve_bootmem attempts to
reserve location 0 of size 0.
Add a check to avoid that.
Issue was highlighted during testing with EVA enabled.
resrve_bootmem used to exit gracefully when passed arguments to
reserve 0 size location at 0 without EVA.
But with EVA enabled, macros would point to different addresses
and the code would trigger a BUG.

Make Octeon GPIO IRQ chip CPU hotplug-aware
Seems that irq_cpu_offline callbacks were forgotten in v1 and v2 CIU
GPIO chips. There is such a callback for octeon_irq_chip_ciu2_gpio,
covering CIU2 chips. Without this callback GPIO IRQs are not being migrated
during core offlining. Patch is tested on Octeon II.

Add an ftrace_graph_is_dead() check to prepare_ftrace_return() in order to
detect an internal ftrace graph error. This allows to prevent further ftrace
graph handling and hopefully keeps the kernel alive.
This patch is the same like for all other architectures.
For unkown reasons s390 was left out.

The kernel provided vdso functions do not get a stack frame from the
calling function and therefore may not change the stack contents, unless
they allocate space on their own.
This problem was exposed with 070b7be633dc "s390/vdso: replace stck with
stcke" which writes 16 bytes instead of 8 bytes into the stack frame. These
additional 8 bytes however were indeed used by the caller (glibc) to save
data and therefore this data was corrupted by the vdso code.

In powerpc pseries platform dlpar operations, use device_online() and
device_offline() instead of cpu_up() and cpu_down().
Calling cpu_up/down() directly does not update the cpu device offline
field, which is used to online/offline a cpu from sysfs. Calling
device_online/offline() instead keeps the sysfs cpu online value
correct. The hotplug lock, which is required to be held when calling
device_online/offline(), is already held when dlpar_online/offline_cpu()
are called, since they are called only from cpu_probe|release_store().
This patch fixes errors on phyp (PowerVM) systems that have cpu(s)
added/removed using dlpar operations; without this patch, the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/online nodes do not correctly show the
online state of added/removed cpus.

Endian is hard, especially when I designed a stupid FW interface, and
I should know better... oh well, this is attempt #2 at fixing this
properly. This time it seems to work with all access sizes and I
can run my flashing tool (which exercises all sort of access sizes
and types to access the SPI controller in the BMC) just fine.

Back in 7230c5644188 ("powerpc: Rework lazy-interrupt handling") we
added a call out to restore_interrupts() (written in c) before calling
do_notify_resume:
bl restore_interrupts
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
bl do_notify_resume
Unfortunately do_notify_resume takes two arguments, the second one
being the thread_info flags:
void do_notify_resume(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long thread_info_flags)
We do populate r4 (the second argument) earlier, but
restore_interrupts() is free to muck it up all it wants. My guess is
the gcc compiler gods shone down on us and its register allocator
never used r4. Sometimes, rarely, luck is on our side.
LLVM on the other hand did trample r4.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
"A surprisingly small batch of fixes for -rc3. Suspiciously small, I'd
say.
Anyway, most of this are a few defconfig updates. Some for omap to
deal with kernel binary size (moving ipv6 to module, etc). A larger
one for socfpga that refreshes with some churn, but also turns on a
few options that makes the newly-added board in my bootfarm usable for
testing.
OMAP3 will also now warn when booted with legacy (non-DT) boot
protocols, hopefully encouraging those who still care about some of
those platforms to submit DT support and report bugs where needed.
Nothing stops working though, this is just to warn for future
deprecation.
Beyond this, very few actual bugfixes. A PXA fix for DEBUG_LL boot
hangs, a missing terminting entry in a dt_match array on RealView a
MTD fix on OMAP with NAND"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into fixes
Merge "omap fixes against v3.18-rc2" from Tony Lindgren:
Few fixes for omaps to enable NAND BCH so devices won't
produce errors when booted with omap2plus_defconfig, and
reduce bloat by making IPV6 a loadable module.
Also let's add a warning about legacy boot being deprecated
for omap3.
We now have things working with device tree, and only omap3 is
still booting in legacy mode. So hopefully this warning will
help move the remaining legacy mode users to boot with device
tree.
As the total reduction of code and static data is somewhere
around 20000 lines of code once we remove omap3 legacy mode
booting, we really do want to make omap3 to boot also in
device tree mode only over the next few merge cycles.

We're moving omaps to use device tree based booting and already have
omap2, omap4, omap5, am335x and am437x booting in device tree only
mode.
Only omap3 still has legacy booting still around and we really want
to make that device tree only. So let's add a warning about deprecated
legacy booting so we get people to upgrade their boards to use device
tree based booting and find out about any remaining issues.
Note that for most boards we already have the .dts file and those can
be booted with without changing the bootloader using the appended
DTB mode.

Commit 673ce00c5d6c (ARM: omap2plus_defconfig: Add support for
distros with systemd) caused considerable bloat as noted by
Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com>.
Let's fix this issue by making what we can into loadable modules
for the systemd options. That's only IPV6 and AUTOFS4_FS it
seems, and IPv6 defaults to a loadable module.

arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/include/mach/io.h:79: warning: passing argument 2 of '__raw_writeb' makes pointer from integer without a cast
Both functions expect an 'volatile void __iomem *' but get an u32.
The 'u32 addr' variable is initialized with the address of an
'volatile void __iomem *' pointer. Passing the pointer
directly, avoids the warning and semantics are preserved.
This warning was found with vampyr.

The commit 2111667b4677 ("ARM: pxa: call debug_ll_io_init for
earlyprintk") triggers in the current kernel the attached backtrace on
PXA/tosa early in the boot time when DEBUG_LL is enabled.
It is due to overlap between uart virtual memory defined in
DEBUG_UART_VIRT and mapped by debug_ll_io_init() and peripheral bus
mapped by pxa_map_io at the same address, 0xf2100000.
As hinted by Arnd, map early virtual memory for low level debug on
address 0xf6200000, even if that means 2 virtual mappings will give
access to the pxa internal UARTs (FFUART, BTUART, STUART, ...).

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
- add the new bpf syscall to ARM.
- drop a redundant return statement in __iommu_alloc_remap()
- fix a performance issue noticed by Thomas Petazzoni with
kmap_atomic().
- fix an issue with the L2 cache OF parsing code which caused it to
incorrectly print warnings on each boot, and make the warning text
more consistent with the rest of the code
* 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 8180/1: mm: implement no-highmem fast path in kmap_atomic_pfn()

Since CONFIG_HIGHMEM got enabled on ARMv5 Kirkwood, we have noticed a
very significant drop in networking performance. The test were
conducted on an OpenBlocks A7 board. Without this patch, the outgoing
performance measured with iperf are:
- highmem OFF, TSO OFF 544 Mbit/s
- highmem OFF, TSO ON 942 Mbit/s
- highmem ON, TSO OFF 306 Mbit/s
- highmem ON, TSO ON 246 Mbit/s
On this Kirkwood platform, the L2 cache is a Feroceon cache, and with
this cache, all the range operations have to be done on virtual
addresses and not physical addresses. Therefore, whenever
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled, the cache maintenance operations call
kmap_atomic_pfn() and kunmap_atomic().
However, kmap_atomic_pfn() does not implement the same fast path for
non-highmem pages as the one implemented in kmap_atomic(), and this is
one of the reason for the performance drop. While this patch does not
fully restore the performances, it clearly improves them a lot:
without patch with patch
- highmem ON, TSO OFF 306 Mbit/s 387 Mbit/s
- highmem ON, TSO ON 246 Mbit/s 434 Mbit/s
We're still far from the !CONFIG_HIGHMEM performances, but it does
improve a bit the situation.
Thanks a lot to Ezequiel Garcia and Gregory Clement for all the
testing work around this topic.
