ARM: 8314/1: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset

2015-03-28T15:46:14+00:00

This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather than an instruction. This is mainly done to prevent linker failures on large kernels, where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

ARM: 8216/1: xscale: correct auxiliary register in suspend/resume

2014-11-21T15:25:17+00:00

According to the manuals I have, XScale auxiliary register should be reached with opc_2 = 1 instead of crn = 1. cpu_xscale_proc_init correctly uses c1, c0, 1 arguments, but cpu_xscale_do_suspend and cpu_xscale_do_resume use c1, c1, 0. Correct suspend/resume functions to also use c1, c0, 1. The issue was primarily noticed thanks to qemu reporing "unsupported instruction" on the pxa suspend path. Confirmed in PXA210/250 and PXA255 XScale Core manuals and in PXA270 and PXA320 Developers Guides. Harware tested by me on tosa (pxa255). Robert confirmed on pxa270 board.

ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+

2014-07-18T11:29:04+00:00

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.

arm: delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from all ARM users

2013-07-14T23:36:52+00:00

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.

ARM: 7542/1: mm: fix cache LoUIS API for xscale and feroceon

2012-09-28T20:09:50+00:00

Some architectures like xscale and feroceon have cache API variants that map cache flushing functions as aliases to the base architecture. This patch adds the required aliases to complete the implementation of cache flushing LoUIS API. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: mm: implement LoUIS API for cache maintenance ops

2012-09-25T10:20:25+00:00

ARM v7 architecture introduced the concept of cache levels and related control registers. New processors like A7 and A15 embed an L2 unified cache controller that becomes part of the cache level hierarchy. Some operations in the kernel like cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable do not require a flush of the entire cache hierarchy to DRAM but just the cache levels belonging to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS), which in most of ARM v7 systems correspond to L1. The current cache flushing API used in cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable, flush_cache_all(), ends up flushing the whole cache hierarchy since for v7 it cleans and invalidates all cache levels up to Level of Coherency (LoC) which cripples system performance when used in hot paths like hotplug and cpuidle. Therefore a new kernel cache maintenance API must be added to cope with latest ARM system requirements. This patch adds flush_cache_louis() to the ARM kernel cache maintenance API. This function cleans and invalidates all data cache levels up to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS) and invalidates the instruction cache for processors that support it (> v7). This patch also creates an alias of the cache LoUIS function to flush_kern_all for all processor versions prior to v7, so that the current cache flushing behaviour is unchanged for those processors. v7 cache maintenance code implements a cache LoUIS function that cleans and invalidates the D-cache up to LoUIS and invalidates the I-cache, according to the new API.

ARM: proc-*.S: place cpu_reset functions into .idmap.text section

The CPU reset functions disable the MMU and therefore must be executed with an identity mapping in place. This patch places the CPU reset functions into the .idmap.text section, causing the idmap code to include them as part of the identity mapping. Acked-by: Dave Martin Signed-off-by: Will Deacon
