Some chained IRQ handlers are written to cope with primary chips of
potentially different flow types. Whether this a sensible thing to do
is a point of contention.
This patch introduces entry/exit functions for chained handlers which
infer the flow type of the primary chip as fasteoi or level-type by
checking whether or not the ->irq_eoi function pointer is present and
calling back to the primary chip as necessary. Other methods of flow
control are not considered.

The removal of the single-step emulation from ptrace on ARM means that
thread_struct no longer has software breakpoint fields in its debug
member.
This patch fixes the a.out core dump code so that the debug registers
are zeroed rather than trying to copy from non-existent fields.

On revisions of the Cortex-A9 prior to r2p0, the Store Buffer does not
have any automatic draining mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur
if an external agent continuously polls a memory location waiting to
observe an update.
This workaround defines cpu_relax() as smp_mb(), preventing correctly
written polling loops from denying visibility of updates to memory.

Few architectures combine the GIC with an external interrupt
controller. On such systems it may be necessary to update both
the GIC registers and the external controller's registers to control
IRQ behavior.
This can be addressed in couple of possible methods.
1. Export common GIC routines along with 'struct irq_chip gic_chip'
and allow architectures to have custom function by override.
2. Provide architecture specific function pointer hooks
within GIC library and leave platforms to add the necessary
code as part of these hooks.
First one might be non-intrusive but have few shortcomings like arch
needs to have there own custom gic library. Locks used should be
common since it caters to same IRQs etc. Maintenance point of view
also it leads to multiple file fixes.
The second probably is cleaner and portable. It ensures that all the
common GIC infrastructure is not touched and also provides archs to
address their specific issue.

PL310 implements the Clean & Invalidate by Way L2 cache maintenance
operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that
PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very
rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when
PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean & Invalidate
by Way operation.
Workaround:
Disable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register)
Clean & Invalidate by Way (0x7FC)
Re-enable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register)
This patch also removes any OMAP dependency on PL310 Errata's

PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping
support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware
support for this operation.
On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware
single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the
next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location.
Unfortunately this has the following problems:
1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported
2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported
3.) The code is not SMP safe
We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above
issues it is rarely used in practice. GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT
and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any
kernel assistance.
This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that
the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must
check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

In commit e616c591405c168f6dc3dfd1221e105adfe49b8d, highmem support was
deactivated for SMP platforms without hardware TLB ops broadcast because
usage of kmap_high_get() requires that IRQs be disabled when kmap_lock
is locked which is incompatible with the IPI mechanism used by the
software TLB ops broadcast invoked through flush_all_zero_pkmaps().
The reason for kmap_high_get() is to ensure that the currently kmap'd
page usage count does not decrease to zero while we're using its
existing virtual mapping in an atomic context. With a VIVT cache this
is essential to do due to cache coherency issues, but with a VIPT cache
this is only an optimization so not to pay the price of establishing a
second mapping if an existing one can be used. However, on VIPT
platforms without hardware TLB maintenance we can give up on that
optimization in order to be able to use highmem.
From ARMv7 onwards the TLB ops are broadcasted in hardware, so let's
disable ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET only when CONFIG_SMP and
CONFIG_CPU_TLB_V6 are defined.

We need to delay freeing any mapped page on SMP and ARMv7 systems to
ensure that the data is not accessed by other CPUs, or is used for
speculative prefetch with ARMv7. This includes not only mapped pages
but also pages used for the page tables themselves.
This avoids races with the MMU/other CPUs accessing pages after they've
been freed but before we've invalidated the TLB.

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.

In low-level board support code, there is sometimes a need to
copy a function body to another location at run-time.
A straightforward call to memcpy doesn't work in Thumb-2,
because bit 0 of external Thumb function symbols is set to 1,
indicating that the function is Thumb. Without corrective
measures, this will cause an off-by-one copy, and the copy
may be called using the wrong instruction set.
This patch adds an fncpy() macro to help with such copies.
Particular care is needed, because C doesn't guarantee any
defined behaviour when casting a function pointer to any other
type. This has been observed to lead to strange optimisation
side-effects when doing the arithmetic which is required in
order to copy/move function bodies correctly in Thumb-2.

Timers on Versatile Express mainboard are used as system clock/event
sources. Driver assumes that they are clocked with 1MHz signal.
Old V2M firmware apparently configured it by default, but on newer
boards one can observe that "sleep 1" command takes over 30 seconds
to finish, as the timers are fed with 32kHz instead...
This patch performs required magic and also removes code clearing
timer's control registers, as exactly the same operations are
performed by the timer driver few jiffies later.

sched_clock is supposed to be initialized early - in the recently added
init_early platform hook. However, in doing so we end up calling
mod_timer() before the timer lists are initialized, resulting in an
oops.
Split the initialization in two - the part which the platform calls
early which starts things off. The addition of the timer can be
delayed until after we have more of the kernel initialized - when the
normal time sources are initialized.

Normally different ARM platform has different way to decode the IRQ
hardware status and demultiplex to the corresponding IRQ handler.
This is highly optimized by macro irq_handler in entry-armv.S, and
each machine defines their own macro to decode the IRQ number.
However, this prevents multiple machine classes to be built into a
single kernel.
By allowing each machine to specify thier own handler, and making
function pointer 'handle_arch_irq' to point to it at run time, this
can be solved. And introduce CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER to allow both
solutions to work.
Comparing with the highly optimized macro of irq_handler, the new
function must be written with care not to lose too much performance.
And the IPI stuff on SMP is expected to move to the provided arch
IRQ handler as well.
The assembly code to invoke handle_arch_irq is optimized by Russell
King.

Provide common sched_clock() infrastructure for platforms to use to
create a 64-bit ns based sched_clock() implementation from a counter
running at a non-variable clock rate.
This implementation is based upon maintaining an epoch for the counter
and an epoch for the nanosecond time. When we desire a sched_clock()
time, we calculate the number of counter ticks since the last epoch
update, convert this to nanoseconds and add to the epoch nanoseconds.
We regularly refresh these epochs within the counter wrap interval.
We perform a similar calculation as above, and store the new epochs.
We read and write the epochs in such a way that sched_clock() can easily
(and locklessly) detect when an update is in progress, and repeat the
loading of these constants when they're known not to be stable. The
one caveat is that sched_clock() is not called in the middle of an
update. We achieve that by disabling IRQs.
Finally, if the clock rate is known at compile time, the counter to ns
conversion factors can be specified, allowing sched_clock() to be tightly
optimized. We ensure that these factors are correct by providing an
initialization function which performs a run-time check.

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. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning
of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking
it away, along with the other control bits.
This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture.
