The current code hides a couple of bugs:
- The global variable 'clock_event_ddata' is overwritten each time the
init function is invoked.
This is fixed with a kmemdup() instead of assigning the global variable. That
prevents a memory corruption when several timers are defined in the DT.
- The clockevent's event_handler is NULL if the time framework does
not select the clockevent when registering it, this is fine but the init
code generates in any case an interrupt leading to dereference this
NULL pointer.
The stm32 timer works with shadow registers, a mechanism to cache the
registers. When a change is done in one buffered register, we need to
artificially generate an event to force the timer to copy the content
of the register to the shadowed register.
The auto-reload register (ARR) is one of the shadowed register as well as
the prescaler register (PSC), so in order to force the copy, we issue an
event which in turn leads to an interrupt and the NULL dereference.
This is fixed by inverting two lines where we clear the status register
before enabling the update event interrupt.
As this kernel crash is resulting from the combination of these two bugs,
the fixes are grouped into a single patch.

Pull the last batch of manual timer conversions from Kees Cook:
- final batch of "non trivial" timer conversions (multi-tree dependencies,
things Coccinelle couldn't handle, etc).
- treewide conversions via Coccinelle, in 4 steps:
- DEFINE_TIMER() functions converted to struct timer_list * argument
- init_timer() -> setup_timer()
- setup_timer() -> timer_setup()
- setup_timer() -> timer_setup() (with a single embedded structure)
- deprecated timer API removals (init_timer(), setup_*timer())
- finalization of new API (remove global casts)

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
is solid now.
Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
future.
Plenty of acronym soup here:
- initial support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
- improved handling for SError interrupts (required to handle RAS
events)
- enable GCC support for 128-bit integer types
- remove kernel text addresses from backtraces and register dumps
- use of WFE to implement long delay()s
- ACPI IORT updates from Lorenzo Pieralisi
- perf PMU driver for the Statistical Profiling Extension (SPE)
- perf PMU driver for Hisilicon's system PMUs
- misc cleanups and non-critical fixes"

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Yet another big pile of changes:
- More year 2038 work from Arnd slowly reaching the point where we
need to think about the syscalls themself.
- A new timer function which allows to conditionally (re)arm a timer
only when it's either not running or the new expiry time is sooner
than the armed expiry time. This allows to use a single timer for
multiple timeout requirements w/o caring about the first expiry
time at the call site.
- A new NMI safe accessor to clock real time for the printk timestamp
work. Can be used by tracing, perf as well if required.
- A large number of timer setup conversions from Kees which got
collected here because either maintainers requested so or they
simply got ignored. As Kees pointed out already there are a few
trivial merge conflicts and some redundant commits which was
unavoidable due to the size of this conversion effort.
- Avoid a redundant iteration in the timer wheel softirq processing.
- Provide a mechanism to treat RTC implementations depending on their
hardware properties, i.e. don't inflict the write at the 0.5
seconds boundary which originates from the PC CMOS RTC to all RTCs.
No functional change as drivers need to be updated separately.
- The usual small updates to core code clocksource drivers. Nothing
really exciting"

Using the physical counter allows KVM to retain the offset between the
virtual and physical counter as long as it is actively running a VCPU.
As soon as a VCPU is released, another thread is scheduled or we start
running userspace applications, we reset the offset to 0, so that
userspace accessing the virtual timer can still read the virtual counter
and get the same view of time as the kernel.
This opens up potential improvements for KVM performance, but we have to
make a few adjustments to preserve system consistency.
Currently get_cycles() is hardwired to arch_counter_get_cntvct() on
arm64, but as we move to using the physical timer for the in-kernel
time-keeping on systems that boot in EL2, we should use the same counter
for get_cycles() as for other in-kernel timekeeping operations.
Similarly, implementations of arch_timer_set_next_event_phys() is
modified to use the counter specific to the timer being programmed.
VHE kernels or kernels continuing to use the virtual timer are
unaffected.
