On newer architectures (ARMv6, ARMv7), the depth of the prefetch and branch prediction is implementation defined and there is a small risk of wrong ASID tagging when changing TTBR0 before setting the new context id. The recommended solution is to set a reserved ASID during TTBR changing. This patch reserves ASID 0. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

The current lazy saving of the VFP registers is no longer possible with thread migration on SMP. This patch implements a per-CPU vfp-state pointer and the saving of the VFP registers at every context switch. The registers restoring is still performed in a lazy way.

In some situations, the pen_release store in platform_secondary_init() may stay forever in the write buffer while the CPU is waiting on the boot_lock to be released in boot_secondary(). The primary CPU could never see the pen_release update without the barriers. 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.

Using console=ttyAM1 or console=ttyAMA1 resulted in an oops during boot due to trying to drive the console before that port had been registered. Fix this by checking whether the port is present before allowing console setup to proceed. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Current sched_clock() implementations on ARM cause unbootable kernels with PRINTK_TIME support enabled. To avoid this, provide a basic printk_clock() implementation which avoids sched_clock() being called before the page tables have been set up. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

If PG_dcache_dirty is set for a page, we need to flush the source page before performing any copypage operation using a different virtual address. This fixes the copypage implementations for XScale, StrongARM and ARMv6. This patch fixes segmentation faults seen in the dynamic linker under the usage patterns in glibc 2.4/2.5.

Add: sys_unshare sys_set_robust_list sys_get_robust_list sys_splice sys_arm_sync_file_range sys_tee sys_vmsplice sys_move_pages sys_getcpu Special note about sys_arm_sync_file_range(), which is implemented as: asmlinkage long sys_arm_sync_file_range(int fd, unsigned int flags, loff_t offset, loff_t nbytes) { return sys_sync_file_range(fd, offset, nbytes, flags); } We can't export sys_sync_file_range() directly on ARM because the argument list someone picked does not fit in the available registers. Would be nice if... there was an arch maintainer review mechanism for new syscalls before they hit the kernel. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

i.MX needs to tweak the control register to support CPU frequency scaling. Rather than have folk blindly try and change the control register by writing to it and then wondering why it doesn't work, provide a method (which is safe for UP only, and therefore only available for UP) to achieve this.

optimization The gcc manual says: |`-fdelete-null-pointer-checks' | Use global dataflow analysis to identify and eliminate useless | checks for null pointers. The compiler assumes that dereferencing | a null pointer would have halted the program. If a pointer is | checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null. | Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'. Now the problem can be seen with this test case: #include <linux/prefetch.h> extern void bar(char *x); void foo(char *x) { prefetch(x); if (x) bar(x); } Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in. Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar() is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x. Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more complex code. It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code for the above example confirms that. An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an offsettable memory reference. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Don't set HWCAP_VFP in the processor support file; not only does it depend on the processor features, but it also depends on the support code being present. Therefore, only set it if the support code detects that we have a VFP coprocessor attached. Also, move the VFP handling of the coprocessor access register into the VFP support code.

Remove ARM local cache of 4 struct thread_info. Can cause oops under certain circumstances. Russell indicated the original optimization was required on older kernels to avoid thread starvation on memory fragmentation, but may no longer be required. I've updated the patch to 19rc4 and ensured no <config.h> dain-bramage slipped in this time (sorry about that). Original description follows: I was given some test results which pointed to an Oops in alloc_thread_info (happened 2x), and after looking at the code, I see that ARM has its own local cache of 4 struct thread_info. There wasn't any clear (to me) synchronization between the alloc_thread_info and the free_thread_info. I looked over the other arch, and they all simply allocate them on an as needed basis, so I simplified the ARM to do the same, based on the other arch (e.g. PPC) and the folks doing the testing have indicated that this fixed the oops.

Move HWCAP_* definitions into asm/elf.h, where they should belong.
