Pull ARM virtualization changes: "This contains parts of the ARM KVM support that have dependencies on other patches merged through the arm-soc tree. In combination with patches coming through Russell's tree, this will finally add full support for the kernel based virtual machine on ARM, which has been awaited for some time now. Further, we now have a separate platform for virtual machines and qemu booting that is used by both Xen and KVM, separating these from the Versatile Express reference implementation. Obviously, this new platform is multiplatform capable so it can be combined with existing machines in the same kernel." * tag 'virt' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (38 commits) ARM: arch_timer: include linux/errno.h arm: arch_timer: add missing inline in stub function ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Wire the init code and config option ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add timer world switch ARM: KVM: arch_timers: Add guest timer core support ARM: KVM: Add VGIC configuration option ARM: KVM: VGIC initialisation code ARM: KVM: VGIC control interface world switch ARM: KVM: VGIC interrupt injection ARM: KVM: vgic: retire queued, disabled interrupts ARM: KVM: VGIC virtual CPU interface management ARM: KVM: VGIC distributor handling ARM: KVM: VGIC accept vcpu and dist base addresses from user space ARM: KVM: Initial VGIC infrastructure code ARM: KVM: Keep track of currently running vcpus KVM: ARM: Introduce KVM_ARM_SET_DEVICE_ADDR ioctl ARM: gic: add __ASSEMBLY__ guard to C definitions ARM: gic: define GICH offsets for VGIC support ARM: gic: add missing distributor defintions ARM: mach-virt: fixup machine descriptor after removal of sys_timer ...

This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch.

2013-01-31arm64: move from arm_generic to arm_arch_timerMark Rutland
The arch_timer driver supports a superset of the functionality of the arm_generic driver, and is not tied to a particular arch. This patch moves arm64 to use the arch_timer driver, gaining additional functionality in doing so, and removes the (now unused) arm_generic driver.

Add minimal guest support to perf, so it can distinguish whether the PMU interrupt was in the host or the guest, as well as collecting some very basic information (guest PC, user vs kernel mode).

2013-01-22arm64: Add simple earlyprintk supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()"). Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required to ensure consistency.

2013-01-03ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman
This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for their platform-specific drivers. CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support. The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do the u32->int sign extension.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: check sequence counter even for coarse realtime operationsWill Deacon
When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards. This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code, particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

2012-11-23arm64: signal: push the unwinding prologue on the signal stackWill Deacon
To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other event.
