2012-07-12ARM: 7463/1: topology: Update cpu_power according to DT informationVincent Guittot1-0/+153
Use cpu compatibility field and clock-frequency field of DT to estimate the capacity of each core of the system and to update the cpu_power field accordingly. This patch enables to put more running tasks on big cores than on LITTLE ones. But this patch doesn't ensure that long running tasks will run on big cores and short ones on LITTLE cores.

2012-07-09ARM: 7456/1: ptrace: provide separate functions for tracing syscall {entry,exit}Will Deacon2-20/+31
The syscall_trace on ARM takes a `why' parameter to indicate whether or not we are entering or exiting a system call. This can be confusing for people looking at the code since (a) it conflicts with the why register alias in the entry assembly code and (b) it is not immediately clear what it represents. This patch splits up the syscall_trace function into separate wrappers for syscall entry and exit, allowing the low-level syscall handling code to branch to the appropriate function.

2012-07-09ARM: 7455/1: audit: move syscall auditing until after ptrace SIGTRAP handlingWill Deacon1-8/+9
When auditing system calls on ARM, the audit code is called before notifying the parent process in the case that the current task is being ptraced. At this point, the parent (debugger) may choose to change the system call being issued via the SET_SYSCALL ptrace request, causing the wrong system call to be reported to the audit tools. This patch moves the audit calls after the ptrace SIGTRAP handling code in the syscall tracing implementation.

2012-07-09ARM: 7454/1: entry: don't bother with syscall tracing on ret_from_fork pathWill Deacon1-6/+0
ret_from_fork is setup for a freshly spawned child task via copy_thread, called from copy_process. The latter function clears TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE and also resets the child task's audit_context to NULL, meaning that there is little point invoking the system call tracing routines. Furthermore, getting hold of the syscall number is a complete pain and it looks like the current code doesn't even bother. This patch removes the syscall tracing checks from ret_from_fork.

2012-07-09ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selectedWill Deacon2-2/+4
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.

If they are detected not to be usable at runtime, we return -ENXIO to the caller.

2012-07-09ARM: 7449/1: use generic strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functionsWill Deacon1-4/+0
This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for ARM using the same algorithm as x86. We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.

2012-07-09ARM: 7448/1: perf: remove arm_perf_pmu_ids global enumerationWill Deacon4-18/+6
In order to provide PMU name strings compatible with the OProfile user ABI, an enumeration of all PMUs is currently used by perf to identify each PMU uniquely. Unfortunately, this does not scale well in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace across all PMUs in the system. This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

2012-07-09ARM: 7444/1: kernel: add arch-timer C3STOP featureLorenzo Pieralisi1-1/+1
When a CPU is shutdown its architected timer comparators registers are lost. Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter clock events broadcast mode through the clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid); function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer. On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting broadcast mode through clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid); In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the CPU is in off-mode.

2012-07-05ARM: 7443/1: Revert "new way of handling ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK"Will Deacon2-9/+27
This reverts commit 6b5c8045ecc7e726cdaa2a9d9c8e5008050e1252. Conflicts: arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to restart the originally interrupted system call. The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

2012-06-23ARM: 7428/1: Prevent KALLSYM size mismatch on ARM.David Brown1-0/+2
ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error: Inconsistent kallsyms data This is a bug - please report about it Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker. The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols included. Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same result. On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty. Depending on the where the alignment ends up, it can come out as either: +-------------------+ | last text segment | +-------------------+ /* padding */ +-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt | per cpu (empty) | +-------------------+ __per_cpu_end: /* padding */ __data_loc: +-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment | data | +-------------------+ or +-------------------+ | last text segment | +-------------------+ /* padding */ +-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt | per cpu (empty) | +-------------------+ __per_cpu_end: /* no padding */ __data_loc: +-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment | data | +-------------------+ if the alignment satisfies both. Because symbols that have the same address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different order than the first case. This changes the compression, changing the size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure. The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still possible to have the alignment change between the second and third pass. It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint. The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty, and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the text segments). Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on SMP, when it is not empty. Signed-off-by: David Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2012-06-01arm: use clear_tasks_mm_cpumask()Anton Vorontsov1-7/+1
Checking for process->mm is not enough because process' main thread may exit or detach its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a valid mm. To fix this we would need to use find_lock_task_mm(), which would walk up all threads and returns an appropriate task (with task lock held). clear_tasks_mm_cpumask() has this issue fixed, so let's use it.

git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski: "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem (mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted. The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big chunk of physically contiguous memory. For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles: - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator': http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ - 'CMA and ARM': http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/ - 'A deep dive into CMA': http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/ - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204 The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the core, common code. The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework. This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware. For more information please refer to the following thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman: "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete implementation. Highlights: - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe. - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe. - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared uids remains the same. - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or better than it is today. - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or operationally with the user namespace enabled. - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1 billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to 164ns per stat operation). - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value. Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause entertaining failures in userspace. - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails. I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and handle the case where setuid fails. - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we can't map. - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities. My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."
