Add the arch-specific code to support jump labels for ARM and Thumb-2. This code will only be activated on compilers that are capable of building it. It has been tested with GCC 4.6 patched with the patch from GCC bug 48637.

Some versions of ARM GCC which do support asm goto, do not support the %c specifier. Since we need the %c to support jump labels on ARM, detect that too in the asm goto detection script to avoid build errors with these versions. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48637Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This is a very simple method for code running in an emulator, or under the supervision of a debugger, to use I/O facilities on the controlling host. Tested with OpenOCD, and ARM's Fast Models. Details on semihosting can be found in chapter 8 of DUI0203I_rvct_developer_guide.pdf from ARM Ltd.

As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is incorrect as we need to check for shared signals we're about to block. Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0 ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked") which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening again.

Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used from the jump label code. Additionally, the separated code: - Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2 support - Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from stop_machine() directly - Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software broadcasting of cache operations Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Tested-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

As commit 592201a9 (ARM: Thumb-2: Support Thumb-2 in undefined instruction handler) says: 32-bit Thumb instructions are specified in the form: ((first_half << 16 ) | second_half) which matches the layout used by the ARM ARM. Convert the ftrace code to use the same format to avoid the usage of different formats in kernel code.

Before replacing an instruction, the ftrace code determines what the old instruction should be and verifies that that's what's really there in memory before replacing it. This is useful if for example a bug in mcountrecord causes it to record wrong locations. However, in cases where we replace call sites in entry-common.S, these checks are not needed. For these, we currently just memcpy() the memory content and then "verify" it -- this is quite useless and can be removed.

The kexec machine crash code can be called in interrupt context via a sysrq trigger made using the magic key combination. If the irq chip dealing with the serial interrupt is using the fasteoi flow handler, then we will never EOI the interrupt because the interrupt handler will be fatal. In the case of a GIC, this results in the crash kernel not receiving interrupts on that CPU interface. This patch adds code (based on the PowerPC implementation) to EOI any pending interrupts on the crash CPU before masking and disabling all interrupts. Secondary cores are not a problem since they are placed into a cpu_relax() loop via an IPI.

The compiler does not conditionalize the assembly instructions for the tlb operations, which leads to sub-optimal code being generated when building a kernel for multiple CPUs.

The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55 Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating the horrible hack VMAs into one.

Initialize the contents of the vectors page immediately after we allocate the page, but before we map it. This avoids any possible aliases with other mappings which may need to be flushed after the page has been mapped irrespective of the cache type. We follow this later with a flush_cache_all() after all static memory mappings have been initialized, which ensures that this is safe from any cache effects.

Add a new seqfile for reporting coherent DMA allocations. This contains the address range, size and the function which was used to allocate each region, allowing these allocations to be viewed in much the same way as /proc/vmallocinfo. The DMA coherent region has limited space, so this allows allocation failures to be viewed, as well as finding out how much space is being used. Make sure this file is only readable by root - same as vmallocinfo - to prevent information leakage.

This updates the Integrator defconfig to include the hardware found on the Integrator/CP: SMC91X, CLCD, MMCI/PL180. Further the sometimes disrupting VGA_CONSOLE is disabled (those who have a VGA card can enable it) and typical default VFAT layouts of the MMC cards are supported by enabling VFAT and CP437 encoding of the file system. After this my default kernels boot successfully on Integrator AP and CP alike. Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
