Pull ARM SoC platform changes from Olof Johansson:
"This is the bulk of new SoC enablement and other platform changes for
3.17:
- Samsung S5PV210 has been converted to DT and multiplatform
- Clock drivers and bindings for some of the lower-end i.MX 1/2
platforms
- Kirkwood, one of the popular Marvell platforms, is folded into the
mvebu platform code, removing mach-kirkwood
- Hwmod data for TI AM43xx and DRA7 platforms
- More additions of Renesas shmobile platform support
- Removal of plat-samsung contents that can be removed with S5PV210
being multiplatform/DT-enabled and the other two old platforms
being removed
New platforms (most with only basic support right now):
- Hisilicon X5HD2 settop box chipset is introduced
- Mediatek MT6589 (mobile chipset) is introduced
- Broadcom BCM7xxx settop box chipset is introduced
+ as usual a lot other pieces all over the platform code"

Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit
values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow
the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared
ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to
avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user().
This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other
32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out
architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze,
mn10300, sh.
Credit:
My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and
v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4
I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I
have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine
even if credit should more widely shared.
Changelog:
v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King)
v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King),
used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file),
cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8.
v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues
v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing
double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion)
v1: original

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

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.

After a bunch of benchmarking on the interaction between dmb and pldw,
it turns out that issuing the pldw *after* the dmb instruction can
give modest performance gains (~3% atomic_add_return improvement on a
dual A15).
This patch adds prefetchw invocations to our barriered atomic operations
including cmpxchg, test_and_xxx and futexes.

We don't need the offset for the first function name in each backtrace
entry; this needlessly consumes screen space. This is virtually always
the first or second instruction in the called function.
Also, recognise stmfd instructions which include r10 as a valid stack
saving instruction, and when dumping the registers, dump six registers
per line rather than five, and fix the wrapping.

Currently mx53 (CortexA8) running at 1GHz reports:
Calibrating delay loop... 663.55 BogoMIPS (lpj=3317760)
Tom Evans verified that alignments of 0x0 and 0x8 run the two instructions of __loop_delay in one clock cycle (1 clock/loop), while alignments of 0x4 and 0xc take 3 clocks to run the loop twice. (1.5 clock/loop)
The original object code looks like this:

, which now reports:
Calibrating delay loop... 996.14 BogoMIPS (lpj=4980736)
Some more test results:
On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz, before the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 351.43 BogoMIPS (lpj=1757184)
On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz after the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 528.79 BogoMIPS (lpj=2643968)
Also tested on mx6 (CortexA9) and on mx27 (ARM926), which shows the same
BogoMIPS value before and after this patch.

Uwe reported a build failure when targetting a NOMMU platform with my
recent prefetch changes:
arch/arm/lib/changebit.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/lib/changebit.S:15: Error: architectural extension `mp' is
not allowed for the current base architecture
This is due to use of the .arch_extension mp directive immediately prior
to an ALT_SMP(...) instruction. Whilst the ALT_SMP macro will expand to
nothing if !CONFIG_SMP, gas will still choke on the directive.
This patch fixes the issue by only emitting the sequence (including the
directive) if CONFIG_SMP=y.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:
1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.
There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.
The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.
Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"
I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.
This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.
On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).
Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.
Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero
removed):
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024
Gave: 2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages,
2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages,
5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK.
After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK,
as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall
system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long.
This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

The cost of changing a cacheline from shared to exclusive state can be
significant, especially when this is triggered by an exclusive store,
since it may result in having to retry the transaction.
This patch prefixes our atomic bitops implementation with prefetchw,
to try and grab the line in exclusive state from the start. The testop
macro is left alone, since the barrier semantics limit the usefulness
of prefetching data.

The Shark machine sub-architecture (also known as DNARD, the
DIGITAL Network Appliance Reference Design) lacks a maintainer
able to apply and test patches to modernize the architecture.
It is suspected that the current kernel, while it compiles,
does not even boot on this machine. The listed maintainer has
expressed that he will not be able to spend any time on the
maintenance for the coming year.
So let's delete it from the kernel for now. It can always be
resurrected with git revert if maintenance is resumed.
As the VIA82c505 PCI adapter was only used by this
architecture, that gets deleted too.

into devel-stable
Comments from Ard Biesheuvel:
I have included two use cases that I have been using, XOR and RAID-6
checksumming. The former gets a 60% performance boost on the NEON, the
latter over 400%.
ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON
Adds kernel_neon_begin/end (renamed from kernel_vfp_begin/end in the
previous version to de-emphasize the VFP part as VFP code that needs
software assistance is not supported currently.)
Introduces <asm/neon.h> and the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON. This
has been aligned with Catalin for arm64, so any NEON code that does
not use assembly but intrinsics or the GCC vectorizer (such as my
examples) can potentially be shared between arm and arm64 archs.
ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage
This is needed so the NEON is enabled when the XOR and RAID-6 algo
boot time benchmarks are run.
ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode
This adds a check to vfp_support_entry() to flag unsupported uses of
the NEON/VFP in kernel mode. FP exceptions (bounces) are flagged as
a bug, this is because of their potentially intermittent nature.
Exceptions caused by the fact that kernel_neon_begin has not been
called are just routed through the undef handler.
ARM: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation
This is the xor_blocks() implementation built with -ftree-vectorize,
60% faster than optimized ARM code. It calls in_interrupt() to check
whether the NEON flavor can be used: this should really not be
necessary, but due to xor_blocks'squite generic nature, there is no
telling how exactly people may be using it in the real world.
lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation
This is a port of the RAID-6 checksumming code in altivec.uc ported
to use NEON intrinsics. It is about 4x faster than the sequential
code.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Commit 70264367a243 ("ARM: 7653/2: do not scale loops_per_jiffy when
using a constant delay clock") fixed a problem with our timer-based
delay loop, where loops_per_jiffy is scaled by cpufreq yet used directly
by the timer delay ops.
This patch fixes the problem in a more elegant way by keeping a private
ticks_per_jiffy field in the delay ops, independent of loops_per_jiffy
and therefore not subject to scaling. The loop-based delay continues to
use loops_per_jiffy directly, as it should.

Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
with the memset return value. However the memset itself became broken
by that patch for misaligned pointers.
This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.
Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.
While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
issue pipelines.

optimizations
Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.
For instance in the following function:
void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
waiter->magic = waiter;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
}

GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.
This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:
Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -> r8, then
r0 -> ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).
Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:
save r8:
- str lr, [sp, #-4]!
+ stmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
- ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
- ldr lr, [sp], #4
+ ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:
save r8:
- stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
bgt 3b
- ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
- ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

When udelay() is implemented using an architected timer, it is wrong
to scale loops_per_jiffy when changing the CPU clock frequency since
the timer clock remains constant.
The lpj should probably become an implementation detail relevant to
the CPU loop based delay routine only and more confined to it. In the
mean time this is the minimal fix needed to have expected delays with
the timer based implementation when cpufreq is also in use.

The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).
This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

The delay functions may be called by some platforms between switching to
the timer-based delay loop but before calibration. In this case, the
initial loops_per_jiffy may not be suitable for the timer (although a
compromise may be achievable) and delay times may be considered too
inaccurate.
This patch updates loops_per_jiffy when switching to the timer-based
delay loop so that delays are consistent prior to calibration.

This patch allows a timer-based delay implementation to be selected by
switching the delay routines over to use get_cycles, which is
implemented in terms of read_current_timer. This further allows us to
skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the
face of core frequency scaling.
To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this
implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers
when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is
kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both
the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for
determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the
indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C,
the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay
functions directly.

This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for ARM using the
same algorithm as x86. We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where
we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction
when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001
constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from
asm-generic.
With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user
and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.

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.

When disabling the MMU, it is necessary to take out a 1:1 identity map
of the reset code so that it can safely be executed with and without
the MMU active. To avoid the situation where the physical address of the
reset code aliases with the virtual address of the active stack (which
cannot be included in the 1:1 mapping), it is desirable to change to a
new stack at a location which is less likely to alias.
This code adds a new lib function, call_with_stack:
void call_with_stack(void (*fn)(void *), void *arg, void *sp);
which changes the stack to point at the sp parameter, before invoking
fn(arg) with the new stack selected.

The bitops functions (e.g. _test_and_set_bit) on ARM do not have unwind
annotations and therefore the kernel cannot backtrace out of them on a
fatal error (for example, NULL pointer dereference).
This patch annotates the bitops assembly macros with UNWIND annotations
so that we can produce a meaningful backtrace on error. Callers of the
macros are modified to pass their function name as a macro parameter,
enforcing that the macros are used as standalone function implementations.

Since commit 1eb19a12bd22 ("lib/sha1: use the git implementation of
SHA-1"), the ARM SHA1 routines no longer work. The reason? They
depended on the larger 320-byte workspace, and now the sha1 workspace is
just 16 words (64 bytes). So the assembly version would overwrite the
stack randomly.
The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved
C version, so there's no reason to keep it around. At least that was
the case in git, where what appears to be the same assembly language
version was removed two years ago because the optimized C BLK_SHA1 code
was faster.
