2015-07-03ARM: avoid unwanted GCC memset()/memcpy() optimisations for IO variantsRussell King2-0/+4
We don't want GCC optimising our memset_io(), memcpy_fromio() or memcpy_toio() variants, so we must not call one of the standard functions. Provide a separate name for our assembly memcpy() and memset() functions, and use that instead, thereby bypassing GCC's ability to optimise these operations. GCCs optimisation may introduce unaligned accesses which are invalid for device mappings. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2015-05-08ARM: replace BSYM() with badr assembly macroRussell King1-1/+1
BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr' instruction did not take account of their ISA. Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM() mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

2015-04-14ARM: ensure delay timer has sufficient accuracy for delaysRussell King1-0/+6
We have recently had an example of someone wanting to use a 90kHz timer for the software delay loop. udelay() needs to have at least microsecond resolution to allow drivers access to a delay mechanism with a reasonable chance of delaying the period they requested within at least a 50% marging of error, especially for small delays. Discussion about the udelay() accuracy can be found at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/9/37 Reject timers which are unable to supply this level of resolution.

2014-09-12ARM: 8137/1: fix get_user BE behavior for target variable with size of 8 bytesVictor Kamensky1-2/+36
e38361d 'ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types' commit broke V7 BE get_user call when target var size is 64 bit, but '*ptr' size is 32 bit or smaller. e38361d changed type of __r2 from 'register unsigned long' to 'register typeof(x) __r2 asm("r2")' i.e before the change even when target variable size was 64 bit, __r2 was still 32 bit. But after e38361d commit, for target var of 64 bit size, __r2 became 64 bit and now it should occupy 2 registers r2, and r3. The issue in BE case that r3 register is least significant word of __r2 and r2 register is most significant word of __r2. But __get_user_4 still copies result into r2 (most significant word of __r2). Subsequent code copies from __r2 into x, but for situation described it will pick up only garbage from r3 register. Special __get_user_64t_(124) functions are introduced. They are similar to corresponding __get_user_(124) function but result stored in r3 register (lsw in case of 64 bit __r2 in BE image). Those function are used by get_user macro in case of BE and target var size is 64bit. Also changed __get_user_lo8 name into __get_user_32t_8 to get consistent naming accross all cases.

2014-07-18ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte typesDaniel Thompson1-1/+36
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 Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2014-07-18ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+Russell King30-80/+89
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.

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.

2013-10-29ARM: 7858/1: mm: make UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY huge page awareSteven Capper1-3/+38
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.

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.
2013-07-14arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM usersPaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
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); } compiled as: 800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>: 800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr} 800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1 800554d8: e3a02010 mov r2, #16 ; 0x10 800554dc: e3a01011 mov r1, #17 ; 0x11 800554e0: eb04426e bl 80165ea0 <memset> 800554e4: e1a03000 mov r3, r0 800554e8: e583000c str r0, [r3, #12] 800554ec: e5830000 str r0, [r3] 800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4] 800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc} 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".

2013-02-21ARM: 7653/2: do not scale loops_per_jiffy when using a constant delay clockNicolas Pitre1-0/+1
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.

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).

2012-07-09ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selectedWill Deacon3-12/+81
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.

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.
