2011-05-26ARM: 6913/1: sparsemem: allow pfn_valid to be overridden when using SPARSEMEMWill Deacon1-0/+3
In commit eb33575c ("[ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected holes V2"), a new function, memmap_valid_within, was introduced to mmzone.h so that holes in the memmap which pass pfn_valid in SPARSEMEM configurations can be detected and avoided. The fix to this problem checks that the pfn <-> page linkages are correct by calculating the page for the pfn and then checking that page_to_pfn on that page returns the original pfn. Unfortunately, in SPARSEMEM configurations, this results in reading from the page flags to determine the correct section. Since the memmap here has been freed, junk is read from memory and the check is no longer robust. In the best case, reading from /proc/pagetypeinfo will give you the wrong answer. In the worst case, you get SEGVs, Kernel OOPses and hung CPUs. Furthermore, ioremap implementations that use pfn_valid to disallow the remapping of normal memory will break. This patch allows architectures to provide their own pfn_valid function instead of using the default implementation used by sparsemem. The architecture-specific version is aware of the memmap state and will return false when passed a pfn for a freed page within a valid section.

2011-03-10ARM: 6781/1: Thumb-2: Work around buggy Thumb-2 short branch relocations in gasDave Martin1-0/+31
Various binutils versions can resolve Thumb-2 branches to locally-defined, preemptible global symbols as short-range "b.n" branch instructions. This is a problem, because there's no guarantee the final destination of the symbol, or any candidate locations for a trampoline, are within range of the branch. For this reason, the kernel does not support fixing up the R_ARM_THM_JUMP11 (102) relocation in modules at all, and it makes little sense to add support. The symptom is that the kernel fails with an "unsupported relocation" error when loading some modules. Until fixed tools are available, passing -fno-optimize-sibling-calls to gcc should prevent gcc generating code which hits this problem, at the cost of a bit of extra runtime stack usage in some cases. The problem is described in more detail at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/binutils-linaro/+bug/725126 Only Thumb-2 kernels are affected. This patch adds a new CONFIG_THUMB2_AVOID_R_ARM_THM_JUMP11 config option which adds -fno-optimize-sibling-calls to CFLAGS_MODULE when building a Thumb-2 kernel.
