init_mm used at kernel/sched.c:idle_task_exit() has spin_lock
(init_mm.context.id_lock) that is not initialized when spin_lock/unlock
is called at an ARM machine. Note that mm_struct.context.id_lock is
usually initialized except for the instance of init_mm at
linux/arch/arm/mm/context.c
Not initializing this spinlock incurs "BUG: pinlock bad magic"
warning when spinlock debug is enabled. We have observed such
instances when testing PM in S5PC210 machines.

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.
This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.

Allow the compiler to better optimize the page table walking code
by avoiding over-complex pmd_addr_end() calculations. These
calculations prevent the compiler spotting that we'll never iterate
over the PMD table, causing it to create double nested loops where
a single loop will do.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

kexec does not disable the outer cache before disabling the inner
caches in cpu_proc_fin(). So L2 is enabled across the kexec jump. When
the new kernel enables chaches again, it randomly crashes.
Disabling L2 before calling cpu_proc_fin() cures the problem.
Disabling L2 requires the following new functions: flush_all(),
inv_all() and disable(). Add them to outer_cache_fns and call them
from the kexec code.

This patch converts arm to use asm-generic/ioctls.h instead of its

The differences between the arch-specific version and the generic

- ARM defines its own value for FIOQSIZE, asm-generic/ioctls.h keeps it
- The generic version adds support for termiox

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

Currently, the Kernel assumes that if a CPU has a non-aliasing D-cache
then the I-cache is also non-aliasing. This may not be true on ARM cores
from v6 onwards, which may have aliasing I-caches but non-aliasing
D-caches.
This patch adds a cpu_has_aliasing_icache function, which is called from
cacheid_init and adds CACHEID_VIPT_I_ALIASING to the cacheid when
appropriate. A utility macro, icache_is_vipt_aliasing(), is also

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.

The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page
contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in
user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem
in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding.
For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack
frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To
unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would
have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame
layout -- which it currently cannot do.
We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into
GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are
guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb
process make an exception for this page and get content from its own
address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either.
Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by
user space code.

ARMv7 onwards requires that there are no aliases to the same physical
location using different memory types (i.e. Normal vs Strongly Ordered).
Access to SO mappings when the unaligned accesses are handled in
hardware is also Unpredictable (pgprot_noncached() mappings in user
space).
The /dev/mem driver requires uncached mappings with O_SYNC. The patch
implements the phys_mem_access_prot() function which generates Strongly

Since page cache pages are now considered 'dirty' by default, the cache
flushing is handled via __flush_dcache_page() when a page gets mapped to
user space. Highmem pages on VIVT systems are flushed during kunmap()
and flush_kernel_dcache_page() was already a no-op in this case.
ARCH_HAS_FLUSH_KERNEL_DCACHE_PAGE is still defined since ARM needs
specific implementations for flush_kernel_vmap_range() and
invalidate_kernel_vmap_range().

ARMv7 processors like Cortex-A9 broadcast the cache maintenance
operations in hardware. This patch allows the
flush_dcache_page/update_mmu_cache pair to work in lazy flushing mode
similar to the UP case.
Note that cache flushing on SMP systems now takes place via the
set_pte_at() call (__sync_icache_dcache) and there is no race with other
CPUs executing code from the new PTE before the cache flushing took
place.

On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a
different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in
update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).
This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a
vm_area_struct is required.

There are places in Linux where writes to newly allocated page cache
pages happen without a subsequent call to flush_dcache_page() (several
PIO drivers including USB HCD). This patch changes the meaning of
PG_arch_1 to be PG_dcache_clean and always flush the D-cache for a newly
mapped page in update_mmu_cache().
The patch also sets the PG_arch_1 bit in the DMA cache maintenance
function to avoid additional cache flushing in update_mmu_cache().

For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel,
it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface.
This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of
virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS
requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running
thread.

The hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel requires architecture-specific
support in order to install, remove, validate and manage hardware
breakpoints.
This patch adds initial support for this framework to the ARM architecture,
but restricts the number of watchpoints to a single resource to get around
the fact that the Data Fault Address Register is unknown when a watchpoint
debug exception is taken.
On cores with v7 debug, the Kernel can handle breakpoint and watchpoint
exceptions occuring from userspace. Older cores require clients to handle
the exception themselves by registering an appropriate overflow handler
or, in the case of ptrace, handling the raised SIGTRAP.
The memory-mapped extended debug interface is unsupported due to its
unreliability in real implementations.

On ARM processors with hardware breakpoint and watchpoint support,
triggering these events results in a debug exception. These manifest
as prefetch and data aborts respectively.
arch/arm/mm/fault.c already provides hook_fault_code for hooking
into data aborts dependent on the DFSR. This patch adds a new function,
hook_ifault_code for hooking into prefetch aborts in the same manner.
