Subject: [PATCH] media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix a reference leak in
mtk_vcodec_fw_vpu_init()
vpu_get_plat_device() increases the reference count of the returned
platform device. However, when devm_kzalloc() fails, the reference
is not released, causing a reference leak.
Fix this by calling put_device() on fw_pdev->dev before returning
on the error path.

Matthew has analyzed the report and identified that in drain_page_zone()
we are in a section protected by spin_lock(&pcp->lock) and then get an
interrupt that attempts spin_trylock() on the same lock. The code is
designed to work this way without disabling IRQs and occasionally fail the
trylock with a fallback. However, the SMP=n spinlock implementation
assumes spin_trylock() will always succeed, and thus it's normally a
no-op. Here the enabled lock debugging catches the problem, but otherwise
it could cause a corruption of the pcp structure.
The problem has been introduced by commit 574907741599 ("mm/page_alloc:
leave IRQs enabled for per-cpu page allocations"). The pcp locking scheme
recognizes the need for disabling IRQs to prevent nesting spin_trylock()
sections on SMP=n, but the need to prevent the nesting in spin_lock() has
not been recognized. Fix it by introducing local wrappers that change the
spin_lock() to spin_lock_iqsave() with SMP=n and use them in all places
that do spin_lock(&pcp->lock).

mm-page_alloc-thp-prevent-reclaim-for-__gfp_thisnode-thp-allocations.patch
__arm_lpae_unmap() returns size_t but was returning -ENOENT (negative
error code) when encountering an unmapped PTE. Since size_t is unsigned,
-ENOENT (typically -2) becomes a huge positive value (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE
on 64-bit systems).
This corrupted value propagates through the call chain:
__arm_lpae_unmap() returns -ENOENT as size_t
-> arm_lpae_unmap_pages() returns it
-> __iommu_unmap() adds it to iova address
-> iommu_pgsize() triggers BUG_ON due to corrupted iova
This can cause IOVA address overflow in __iommu_unmap() loop and
trigger BUG_ON in iommu_pgsize() from invalid address alignment.
Fix by returning 0 instead of -ENOENT. The WARN_ON already signals
the error condition, and returning 0 (meaning "nothing unmapped")
is the correct semantic for size_t return type. This matches the
behavior of other io-pgtable implementations (io-pgtable-arm-v7s,
io-pgtable-dart) which return 0 on error conditions.

Platform drivers can be probed after their init sections have been
discarded (e.g. on probe deferral or manual rebind through sysfs) so the
probe function must not live in init.

The arm64 kernel doesn't boot with annotated branches
(PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES) enabled and CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL together.
Bisecting it, I found that disabling branch profiling in arch/arm64/mm
solved the problem. Narrowing down a bit further, I found that
physaddr.c is the file that needs to have branch profiling disabled to
get the machine to boot.
I suspect that it might invoke some ftrace helper very early in the boot
process and ftrace is still not enabled(!?).
Disable branch profiling for physaddr.o to allow booting an arm64
machine with CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES and
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL together.

Another approach is to disable profiling on all arch/arm64 code, similarly to
x86, where DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING is called for all arch/x86 code. See
commit 2cbb20b008dba ("tracing: Disable branch profiling in noinstr
