The kernel originally supported revB only. This patch enables revC by default and adds a config option for building the kernel for the revB platform. Signed-off-by: Harry Fearnhamm <Harry.Fearnhamm@arm.com>

Patch from Nicolas Pitre The RESTARTBLOCK case currently store some code on the stack to invoke sys_restart_syscall. However this is ABI dependent and there is a mismatch with the way __NR_restart_syscall gets defined when the kernel is compiled for EABI. There is also a long standing bug in the thumb case since with OABI the __NR_restart_syscall value includes __NR_SYSCALL_BASE which should not be the case for Thumb syscalls. Credits to Yauheni Kaliuta <yauheni.kaliuta@gmail.com> for finding the EABI bug. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The byte order functions are visible to userspace. Unfortunately, __arch_swab32() contains an assembly instruction which is invalid when compiling for Thumb. This reverts to the C version when compiling for Thumb. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Patch from Paul Brook The old-abi sys_syscall syscall is broken when called from Thumb mode. It assumes the syscall number is an Arm syscall number (ie. starts from __NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE). In thumb mode syscall numbers start from zero. The patch below fixes this by clearing the nigh bits of the syscall number instead of inverting them. Technically this means we accept some invalid syscall numbers, but I can't see how that could be a problem. The two sets of numbers far apart that unimplemented syscalls should still be rejected.

This patch adds the support for VFPv3 (the kernel currently supports VFPv2). The main differences are 32 double registers (compared to 16) and missing FPINST and FPINST2 registers. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

bootmem_init_node() creates new mappings that override the initial sections set up by __create_page_tables. With the addition of the supersections support, two mappings can exist in the TLB for the same virtual address (the original section and the newly created supersection). This is considered undefined behaviour. The patch flushes the TLB after creating the memory mappings for each node. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This code was still using the old format for the ARMv6 CPU id and it wasn't flushing the caches on the MPCore CPU (and other ARM1176 cores). The patch changes the mask bits to cope with the new id format. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch is a workaround for the 364296 ARM1136 r0pX errata (possible cache data corruption with hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the undocumented bit 31 in the auxiliary control register and the FI bit in the control register, thus disabling hit-under-miss without putting the processor into full low interrupt latency mode.

Being named "Crazed Snow-Weasel" instills a lot of confidence in this release, so I'm sure this will be one of the better ones.

The page size encoding passed to tlbie is incorrect for new-style large pages. This fixes it. This doesn't affect anything on older machines because mmu_psize_defs[psize].penc (the page size encoding) is 0 for 4k and 16M pages (the two are distinguished by a separate "is a large page" bit).

arm_timer() checks PF_EXITING to prevent BUG_ON(->exit_state) in run_posix_cpu_timers(). However, for some reason it does so only for CPUCLOCK_PERTHREAD case (which is imho wrong). Also, this check is not reliable, PF_EXITING could be set on another cpu without any locks/barriers just after the check, so it can't prevent from attaching the timer to the exiting task. The previous patch makes this check unneeded. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

do_exit() clears ->it_##clock##_expires, but nothing prevents another cpu to attach the timer to exiting process after that. arm_timer() tries to protect against this race, but the check is racy. After exit_notify() does 'write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock)' and before do_exit() calls 'schedule() local timer interrupt can find tsk->exit_state != 0. If that state was EXIT_DEAD (or another cpu does sys_wait4) interrupted task has ->signal == NULL. At this moment exiting task has no pending cpu timers, they were cleanuped in __exit_signal()->posix_cpu_timers_exit{,_group}(), so we can just return from irq.

If the local timer interrupt happens just after do_exit() sets PF_EXITING (and before it clears ->it_xxx_expires) run_posix_cpu_timers() will call check_process_timers() with tasklist_lock + ->siglock held and check_process_timers: t = tsk; do { .... do { t = next_thread(t); } while (unlikely(t->flags & PF_EXITING)); } while (t != tsk); the outer loop will never stop. Actually, the window is bigger. Another process can attach the timer after ->it_xxx_expires was cleared (see the next commit) and the 'if (PF_EXITING)' check in arm_timer() is racy (see the one after that).

A couple of fixes that should prevent crashes when using netconsole and suspend/resume. First, netconsole poll routine shouldn't run unless the device is up; second, the NAPI poll should be disabled during suspend. This is only an issue on sky2, because it has to have one NAPI poll routine for both ports on dual port boards. Normal drivers use netif_rx_schedule_prep and that checks for netif_running.

If get_user_pages() returns less pages than what we asked for, we jump to out_unmap which will return ERR_PTR(ret). But ret can contain a positive number just smaller than local_nr_pages, so be sure to set it to -EFAULT always.

Some time ago the cdrom open routine was changed so that we call the driver's open routine before checking to see if it is read only. However, if we discovered that a read write open was not possible and the open flags required a writable open, we just returned -EROFS without calling the driver's release routine. This seems to work for most cdrom drivers, but breaks the Powerpc iSeries virtual cdrom rather badly. This just inserts the release call in the error path to balance the call to "->open()" done by "open_for_data()".

We don't clear the seek stat values in cfq_alloc_io_context(), and if ->seek_mean is unlucky enough to be set to -36 by chance, the first invocation of cfq_update_io_seektime() will oops with a divide by zero in do_div().
