2011-02-19ARM: 6743/1: errata: interrupted ICALLUIS may prevent completion of ↵Will Deacon1-0/+6
broadcasted operation On versions of the Cortex-A9 prior to r3p0, an interrupted ICIALLUIS operation may prevent the completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second operation is received by a CPU before the ICIALLUIS has completed, potentially leading to corrupted entries in the cache or TLB. This workaround sets a bit in the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9, causing CP15 maintenance operations to be uninterruptible.

2011-02-19ARM: 6741/1: errata: pl310 cache sync operation may be faultySrinidhi Kasagar1-0/+6
The effect of cache sync operation is to drain the store buffer and wait for all internal buffers to be empty. In normal conditions, store buffer is able to merge the normal memory writes within its 32-byte data buffers. Due to this erratum present in r3p0, the effect of cache sync operation on the store buffer still remains when the operation completes. This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and this prevents it from merging any further writes. This can severely affect performance on the write traffic esp. on Normal memory NC one. The proposed workaround is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation(0x730) by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.

2011-02-10ARM: make SWP emulation explicit on !CPU_USE_DOMAINSRussell King1-1/+1

2011-02-09ARM: Avoid building unsafe kernels on OMAP2 and MX3Russell King1-2/+2
OMAP2 (armv6) and MX3 turn off support for the V6K instructions, which when they include support for SMP kernels means that the resulting kernel is unsafe on SMP and can result in corrupted filesystems as we end up using unsafe bitops. Re-enable the use of V6K instructions on such kernels, and let such kernels running on V6 CPUs eat undefined instruction faults which will be much safer than filesystem corruption. Next merge window we can fix this properly (as it requires a much bigger set of changes.) Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-01-31ARM: initrd: disable initrd if passed address overlaps reserved regionRussell King1-0/+6
Disable the initrd if the passed address already overlaps the reserved region. This avoids oopses on Netwinders when NeTTrom tells the kernel that an initrd is located at mem+4MB, but this overlaps the BSS, resulting in the kernels in-use BSS being freed. This should be applied to v2.6.37-stable. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page table walks.

2010-12-19ARM: fix cache-feroceon-l2 after stack based kmap_atomic()Nicolas Pitre1-18/+19
Since commit 3e4d3af501 "mm: stack based kmap_atomic()", it is actively wrong to rely on fixed kmap type indices (namely KM_L2_CACHE) as kmap_atomic() totally ignores them and a concurrent instance of it may happily reuse any slot for any purpose. Because kmap_atomic() is now able to deal with reentrancy, we can get rid of the ad hoc mapping here. While the code is made much simpler, there is a needless cache flush introduced by the usage of __kunmap_atomic(). It is not clear if the performance difference to remove that is worth the cost in code maintenance (I don't think there are that many highmem users on that platform anyway) but that should be reconsidered when/if someone cares enough to do some measurements.

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary. Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing cache operations. While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside the buffer.

2010-11-30ARM: 6501/1: Thumb-2: Correct data alignment for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL in ↵Dave Martin1-2/+2
mm/proc-v7.S Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result, using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL). This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned, this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in some circumstances. In general, the following rules should be applied when using data word declaration directives inside code sections: * .quad and .double: .align 3 * .long, .word, .single, .float: .align (or .align 2) * .short: No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2 instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size. immediately after an instruction. In this specific case, we can achieve the desired alignment by forcing a 32-bit branch instruction using the W() macro, since the assembler location counter is already 32-bit aligned in this case.

2010-11-04ARM: 6396/1: Add SWP/SWPB emulation for ARMv7 processorsLeif Lindholm2-0/+31
The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture, superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control Register SW bit. This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to /proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when user RO.

2010-11-04ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas4-5/+21
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.
