Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2 kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction set state. This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered in ARM. Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy. A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

If an ARM system has multiple cpus in the same socket and the kernel is booted with maxcpus=1, secondary cpus are possible but not present due to how platform_smp_prepare_cpus() is called. Since most typical ARM processors don't actually support physical hotplug, initialize the present map to be equal to the possible map in generic ARM SMP code. Also, always call platform_smp_prepare_cpus() as long as max_cpus is non-zero (0 means no SMP) to allow platform code to do any SMP setup. After applying this patch it's possible to boot an ARM system with maxcpus=1 on the command line and then hotplug in secondary cpus via sysfs. This is more in line with how x86 does things.

The PB11MPCore reports "3" DTCM banks, but anything above 2 is an "undefined" value, so push this to become 0. Further add some checks if code is compiled to TCM even if there is no D/ITCM present in the system, and if we can really fit the compiled code. We don't do the BUG() since it's not helpful, it's better to deal with non-present TCM dynamically. If there is nothing compiled to the TCM and no TCM is detected, it will now just shut up even if TCM support is enabled.

This patch adds support for platform_device_id tables, allowing new PMU types to be registered with the correct type, without requiring new platform_driver shims to provide the type.

This is based on an earlier patch from Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> > Add OF match table to enable OF style driver binding. The dts entry is like > this: > > pmu { > compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-pmu"; > interrupts = <100 101>; > }; > > The use of pdev->id as an index breaks with OF device binding, so set the type > based on the OF compatible string. This modification sets the PMU hardware type based on data embedded in the binding, allowing easy addition of new PMU types in future. Support for new PMU types not provided by devicetree can be added later using platform_device_id tables in a similar fashion.

Currently, the PMU reservation framework allows for multiple PMUs of the same type to register themselves. This can lead to a bug with the sequence: register_pmu(pmu1); reserve_pmu(pmu_type); register_pmu(pmu2); release_pmu(pmu1); Here, pmu1 cannot be released, and pmu2 cannot be reserved. This patch modifies register_pmu to reject registrations where a PMU is already present, preventing this problem. PMUs which can have multiple instances should not use the PMU reservation framework.

Currently, PMU platform_device reservation relies on some minor abuse of the platform_device::id field for determining the type of PMU. This is problematic for device tree based probing, where the ID cannot be controlled. This patch removes reliance on the id field, and depends on each PMU's platform driver to figure out which type it is. As all PMUs handled by the current platform_driver name "arm-pmu" are CPU PMUs, this convention is hardcoded. New PMU types can be supported through the use of {of,platform}_device_id tables Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by: Jamie Iles <jamie@jamieiles.com> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This allows a ROM-able zImage to be written to eSD and for SuperH Mobile ARM to boot directly from the SDHI hardware block. This is achieved by the MaskROM loading the first portion of the image into MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final location and then jumping to it.

Allow SoCs to enable the scatterlist chaining support, which allows scatterlist tables to be broken up into smaller allocations. As support for this feature depends on the implementation details of the users of the scatterlists, we can't enable this globally without auditing all the users, which is a very big task. Instead, let SoCs progressively switch over to using this. SoC drivers using scatterlists and SoC DMA implementations need auditing before this option can be enabled for the SoC.

This reverts commit a197b59a. As rmk says: "Commit a197b59a (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which use GFP_DMA. The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone. However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail which causes drivers to fail. These are regressions compared to the previous kernel version." so just revert it.

The comment in domain_remove_one_dev_info() states "No need to compare PCI domain; it has to be the same". But for the si_domain that isn't going to be true, as it consists of all the PCI devices that are identity mapped thus multiple PCI domains can be in si_domain.

Mike Travis and Mike Habeck reported an issue where iova allocation would return a range that was larger than a device's dma mask. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/29/423 The dmar initialization code will reserve all PCI MMIO regions and copy those reservations into a domain specific iova tree. It is possible for one of those regions to be above the dma mask of a device. It is typical to allocate iovas with a 32bit mask (despite device's dma mask possibly being larger) and cache the result until it exhausts the lower 32bit address space. Freeing the iova range that is >= the last iova in the lower 32bit range when there is still an iova above the 32bit range will corrupt the cached iova by pointing it to a region that is above 32bit. If that region is also larger than the device's dma mask, a subsequent allocation will return an unusable iova and cause dma failure. Simply don't cache an iova that is above the 32bit caching boundary.

The identity mapping code appears to make the assumption that if the devices dma_mask is greater than 32bits the device can use identity mapping. But that is not true: take the case where we have a 40bit device in a 44bit architecture. The device can potentially receive a physical address that it will truncate and cause incorrect addresses to be used. Instead check to see if the device's dma_mask is large enough to address the system's dma_mask.

Commit a97590e5 added unlinking domains from iommus to reciprocate the iommu from domains unlinking that was already done. We actually want to only do this for device domains and never for the static identity map domain or VM domains. The SI domain is special and never freed, while VM domain->id lives in their own special address space, separate from iommu->domain_ids. In the current code, a VM can get domain->id zero, then mark that domain unused when unbound from pci-stub. This leads to DMAR write faults when the device is re-bound to the host driver.

There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping: - size >= 2MiB, and - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and - on hardware that supports superpages. (and likewise for larger superpages). We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always *unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages. Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page tables freed. Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required. == The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'. I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on. The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was: Youquan Song (3): intel-iommu: super page support intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte() David Woodhouse (4): intel-iommu: Precalculate superpage support for dmar_domain intel-iommu: Fix hardware_largepage_caps() intel-iommu: Fix inappropriate use of superpages in __domain_mapping() intel-iommu: Fix phys_pfn in __domain_mapping for sglist pages Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
