2014-02-25ARM: 7990/1: asm: rename logical shift macros push pull into lspush lspullVictor Kamensky
Renames logical shift macros, 'push' and 'pull', defined in arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h, into 'lspush' and 'lspull'. That eliminates name conflict between 'push' logical shift macro and 'push' instruction mnemonic. That allows assembler.h to be included in .S files that use 'push' instruction.

2012-08-13ARM: Bring back ARMv3 IO and user access codeRussell King
This partially reverts 357c9c1f07d4546bc3fbc0fd1044d96b114d14ed (ARM: Remove support for ARMv3 ARM610 and ARM710 CPUs). Although we only support StrongARM on the RiscPC, we need to keep the ARMv3 user access code for this platform because the bus does not understand half-word load/stores.

2012-05-05ARM: Remove support for ARMv3 ARM610 and ARM710 CPUsRussell King
This patch removes support for ARMv3 CPUs, which haven't worked properly for quite some time (see the FIXME comment in arch/arm/mm/fault.c). The only V3 parts left is the cache model for ARMv3, which is needed for some odd reason by ARM740T CPUs, and being able to build with -march=armv3, which is required for the RiscPC platform due to its bus structure.

2012-01-25ARM: 7301/1: Rename the T() macro to TUSER() to avoid namespace conflictsCatalin Marinas
This macro is used to generate unprivileged accesses (LDRT/STRT) to user space. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
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.

2010-04-21ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.cRussell King
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077' This is caused because: .section .data .section .text .section .text .previous does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections is not known. Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-09-01[ARM] 5227/1: Add the ENDPROC declarations to the .S filesCatalin Marinas

2006-06-28[ARM] Remove the __arch_* layer from uaccess.hRussell King
Back in the days when we had armo (26-bit) and armv (32-bit) combined, we had an additional layer to the uaccess macros to ensure correct typing. Since we no longer have 26-bit in this tree, we no longer need this layer, so eliminate it. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-06-25[ARM] Remove LOADREGS macroRussell King
As for RETINSTR, LOADREGS is a left-over from the 26-bit days. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-11-11[ARM] 3150/1: make various assembly local labels actually local (uaccess.S)Nicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre For assembly labels to actually be local they must start with ".L" and not only "." otherwise they still remain visible in the final link and clutter kallsyms needlessly, and possibly make for unclear symbolic backtrace. This patch simply inserts a"L" where appropriate. The code itself is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-11-04[ARM] 3094/1: remove PLD stuff from old uaccess codeNicolas Pitre

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
