2012-02-03ARM: 7314/1: kuser: consistently use usr_ret for returning from helpersWill Deacon
__kuser_cmpxchg64 has a return path using bx lr to get back to the caller. This is actually ok since the code in question is predicated on CONFIG_CPU_32v6K, but for the sake of consistency using the usr_ret macro is probably better.

2011-11-15ARM: Make global handler and CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER mutually exclusiveMarc Zyngier
Even when CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER is selected, the core code requires the arch_irq_handler_default macro to be defined as a fallback. It turns out nobody is using that particular feature as both PXA and shmobile have all their machine descriptors populated with the interrupt handler, leaving unused code (or empty macros) in their entry-macro.S file just to be able to compile entry-armv.S. Make CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER exclusive wrt arch_irq_handler_default, which allows to remove one test from the hot path. Also cleanup both PXA and shmobile entry-macro.S.

2011-10-17ARM: 7031/1: entry: Fix Thumb-2 undef handling for multi-CPU kernelsDave Martin
When v6 and >=v7 boards are supported in the same kernel, the __und_usr code currently makes a build-time assumption that Thumb-2 instructions occurring in userspace don't need to be supported. Strictly speaking this is incorrect. This patch fixes the above case by doing a run-time check on the CPU architecture in these cases. This only affects kernels which support v6 and >=v7 CPUs together: plain v6 and plain v7 kernels are unaffected.

2011-07-02ARM: entry: instrument usr exception handlers with irqsoff tracingRussell King
As we no longer re-enable interrupts in these exception handlers, add the irqsoff tracing calls to them so that the kernel tracks the state more accurately. Note that these calls are conditional on IRQSOFF_TRACER: kernel ----------> user ---------> kernel ^ irqs enabled ^ irqs disabled No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not take any locks etc. So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask state while userspace is running unless we're doing IRQ off latency tracing.

This patch fixes the lockdep warning of "unannotated irqs-off"[1]. After entering __irq_usr, arm core will disable interrupt automatically, but __irq_usr does not annotate the irq disable, so lockdep may complain the warning if it has chance to check this in irq handler. This patch adds trace_hardirqs_off in __irq_usr before entering irq_handler to handle the irq, also calls ret_to_user_from_irq to avoid calling disable_irq again.

2010-12-24ARM: 6532/1: Allow machine to specify it's own IRQ handlers at run-timeeric miao
Normally different ARM platform has different way to decode the IRQ hardware status and demultiplex to the corresponding IRQ handler. This is highly optimized by macro irq_handler in entry-armv.S, and each machine defines their own macro to decode the IRQ number. However, this prevents multiple machine classes to be built into a single kernel. By allowing each machine to specify thier own handler, and making function pointer 'handle_arch_irq' to point to it at run time, this can be solved. And introduce CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER to allow both solutions to work. Comparing with the highly optimized macro of irq_handler, the new function must be written with care not to lose too much performance. And the IPI stuff on SMP is expected to move to the provided arch IRQ handler as well. The assembly code to invoke handle_arch_irq is optimized by Russell King.

2010-12-20ARM: 6516/1: Allow SMP_ON_UP to work with Thumb-2 kernels.Dave Martin
* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the THUMB2_KERNEL case. For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on. No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep the code as simple as possible. * Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre. * Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that the content really is the right size (4 bytes). (No check is done for ALT_SMP(). Possibly, this could be fixed by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros. In the first case, ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.) * smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct instruction size is satisfied in this case. * A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb: smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser) smp_dmb @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP() This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb, when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page. There might be a better way to achieve this. * Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on (!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2 currently assumes little-endian order.)

2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: disable preemption during debug exception handlingWill Deacon
On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts. One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read from the wrong registers. This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

2010-11-04ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas
This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register. Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory. Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to the LDR/STR ones. The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page isn't possible. The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok() function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

2010-10-04ARM: Allow SMP kernels to boot on UP systemsRussell King
UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have, so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite parts of the kernel. Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions, thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values, and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state. Do this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper, tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them. This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state in kernel space. This also revert portions of 0d928b0b616d1c5c5fe76019a87cba171ca91633 which didn't fix the problem.

2010-07-09ARM: 6207/1: Replace CONFIG_HAS_TLS_REG with HWCAP_TLS and check for it on V6Tony Lindgren
The TLS register is only available on ARM1136 r1p0 and later. Set HWCAP_TLS flags if hardware TLS is available and test for it if CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is not set for V6. Note that we set the TLS instruction in __kuser_get_tls dynamically as suggested by Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>. Also the __switch_to code is optimized out in most cases as suggested by Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

2010-06-14ARM: stack protector: change the canary value per taskNicolas Pitre
A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever a new task is forked. This is meant to allow for different canary values per task. On ARM, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global variable called __stack_chk_guard. So this variable has to be updated with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs. Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP unfortunately. So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still useful. One way to overcome this GCC limitation would be to locate the __stack_chk_guard variable into a memory page of its own for each CPU, and then use TLB locking to have each CPU see its own page at the same virtual address for each of them.

2010-01-12ARM: Fix wrong dmbRussell King
The __kuser_cmpxchg code uses an ARMv6 dmb instruction, rather than one based upon the architecture being built for. Switch to using the macro provided for this purpose, which also eliminates the need for an ifdef. Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The 32-bit wide variant of "mov pc, reg" in Thumb-2 is unpredictable causing improper handling of the undefined instructions not caught by the kernel. This patch adds a movw_pc macro for such situations (currently only used in call_fpe).
