2011-12-08ARM: LPAE: add ISBs around MMU enabling codeWill Deacon1-0/+1
Before we enable the MMU, we must ensure that the TTBR registers contain sane values. After the MMU has been enabled, we jump to the *virtual* address of the following function, so we also need to ensure that the SCTLR write has taken effect. This patch adds ISB instructions around the SCTLR write to ensure the visibility of the above.

2011-09-14ARM: zImage: allow supplementing appended DTB with traditional ATAG dataNicolas Pitre5-2/+172
Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one, yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address, the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage. Currently the following ATAGs are converted: ATAG_CMDLINE ATAG_MEM ATAG_INITRD2 If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it. The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made. Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.

The appended DTB gets relocated with the decompressor code to get out of the way of the decompressed kernel. However the kernel's .bss section may be larger than the relocated code and data, and then the DTB gets overwritten. Let's make sure the relocation takes care of moving zImage far enough so no such conflict with .bss occurs. Thanks to Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> for figuring out this issue. While at it, let's clean up the code a bit so that the wont_overwrite symbol is used while determining if a conflict exists, making the above change more precise as well as eliminating some ARM/THUMB alternates.

2011-07-19ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM stateDave Martin1-1/+2
Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2 kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction set state. This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered in ARM. Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy. A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to eSD and for SuperH Mobile ARM to boot directly from the SDHI hardware block. This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion of the image into MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final location and then jumping to it.

It is easy to mis-maintain the proc_types table such that the entries become wrongly-sized and misaligned when the kernel is built in Thumb-2. This patch adds an assembly-time check which will turn most common size/alignment mistakes in this table into build failures, to avoid having to debug the boot-time kernel hang which would happen if the resulting kernel were actually booted.

2011-05-07ARM: zImage: make sure no GOTOFF relocs are used with .bss symbolsNicolas Pitre2-4/+17
To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can be marked static unless they're also const. To enforce this, suffice to fail the build whenever a private symbol is allocated to .bss and list those symbols for convenience. The user_stack and user_stack_end labels in head.S were converted into non exported symbols to remove false positives.

In commit d239b1dc093d the hardcoded 4x estimate for the decompressed kernel size was replaced by the exact Image file size and passed to the linker as a symbol value. Turns out that this is unneeded as the size is already included at the end of the compressed piggy data. For those compressed formats that don't include this data, the build system already takes care of appending it using size_append in scripts/Makefile.lib. So let's use that instead.

If the zImage load address is slightly below the relocation address, there is a risk for the copied data to overwrite the copy loop or cache flush code that the relocation process requires. Always bump the relocation address by the size of that code to avoid this issue. Noticed by Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>. While at it, let's start the copy from the restart symbol which makes the above code size computation possible by the assembler directly (same sections), given that we don't need to preserve the code before that point anyway. And therefore we don't need to carry the _start pointer in r5 anymore. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

2011-03-28ARM: 6826/1: Merge v6 and v7 DEBUG_LL DCC supportStephen Boyd2-20/+2
The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 are purely optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with the pc sets the condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register being read. It just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC support code is testing for are high enough in the register to be put into the condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test operations to check for TX/RX full. Thus, we can drop the v7 implementation and just use the v6 implementation for both.

2011-02-26ARM: 6746/1: remove the 4x expansion presumption while decompressing the kernelNicolas Pitre2-4/+3
We currently presume a 4x expansion to guess the decompressed kernel size in order to determine if the decompressed kernel is in conflict with the location where zImage is loaded. This guess may cause many issues by overestimating the final kernel image size: - This may force a needless relocation if the location of zImage was fine, wasting some precious microseconds of boot time. - The relocation may be located way too far, possibly overwriting the initrd image in RAM. - If the kernel image includes a large already-compressed initramfs image then the problem is even more exacerbated. And if by some strange means the 4x guess is too low then we may overwrite ourselves with the decompressed image. So let's use the exact decompressed kernel image size instead. For that we need to rely on the stat command, but this is hardly a new build dependency as the kernel already depends on many external commands to be built provided by the coreutils package where stat is found.
