[GIT PULL] arm64: fixes for -rc2

From: Will Deacon
Date: Thu Sep 17 2015 - 10:04:25 EST


Hi Linus,

Please pull the following arm64 fixes for 4.3-rc2. They address some
problems with filesystem writeback due to the recently merged hardware
DBM patches, which caused us to treat some read-only pages as dirty.

There are also some other, less significant fixes that are described in
the tag.

Cheers,

Will

arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419 (2015-09-17 11:57:03 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 fixes for 4.3-rc2

A mixture of fixes for regressions introduced during the merge window,
some longer standing problems that we spotted and a couple of hardware
errata. The main changes are:

- Fix fallout from the h/w DBM patches, causing filesystem writeback
issues on both v8 and v8.1 CPUs
- Workaround for Cortex-A53 erratum #843419 in the module loader
- Fix for long-standing issue with compat big-endian signal handlers
using the saved floating point state

----------------------------------------------------------------
Catalin Marinas (2):
arm64: Fix the pte_hw_dirty() check when AF/DBM is enabled
arm64: Fix pte_modify() to preserve the hardware dirty information

Jisheng Zhang (1):
arm64: dma-mapping: check whether cma area is initialized or not

Leo Yan (1):
arm64: enable generic idle loop

Will Deacon (5):
arm64: pgtable: use a single bit for PTE_WRITE regardless of DBM
arm64: head.S: initialise mdcr_el2 in el2_setup
arm64: cpu hotplug: ensure we mask out CPU_TASKS_FROZEN in notifiers
arm64: compat: fix vfp save/restore across signal handlers in big-endian
arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419
