Clarify that the memory below the start of the image but inside the region covered by the linear mapping has no special significance to the kernel, and may be used by the firmware provided that it is marked as reserved. Also, fix up some whitespace errors. Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

For some reason, the ll/sc cmpxchg asm is all off to the left and awkward to read in conjunction with the following (correctly indented) LSE version. This patch shifts the ll/sc code back to where it should be. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

Commit 4b3dc967 ("arm64: force CONFIG_SMP=y and remove redundant #ifdefs") forces SMP on arm64. To build the necessary objects for SMP, they were added to the arm64-obj-y rule in arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile, without removing the arm64-obj-$(CONFIG_SMP) rule. Remove redundant object file list depending on always-yes CONFIG_SMP in arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile.

When unlocking a spinlock, we perform a read-modify-write on the owner ticket in order to increment it and store it back with release semantics. In the LL/SC case, we load the 16-bit ticket using a 32-bit load and therefore store back the wrong halfword on a big-endian system, corrupting the lock after the first unlock and killing the system dead. This patch fixes the unlock code to use 16-bit accessors consistently. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The flush_tlb_page() function is used on user address ranges when PTEs (or PMDs/PUDs for huge pages) were changed (attributes or clearing). For such cases, it is more efficient to invalidate only the last level of the TLB with the "tlbi vale1is" instruction. In the TLB shoot-down case, the TLB caching of the intermediate page table levels (pmd, pud, pgd) is handled by __flush_tlb_pgtable() via the __(pte|pmd|pud)_free_tlb() functions and it is not deferred to tlb_finish_mmu() (as of commit 285994a6 - "arm64: Invalidate the TLB corresponding to intermediate page table levels"). The tlb_flush() function only needs to invalidate the TLB for the last level of page tables; the __flush_tlb_range() function gains a fourth argument for last level TLBI.

Currently create_mapping is marked with __ref, apparently because it refers to early_alloc. However, create_mapping has no logic to prevent erroneous use of early_alloc after it has been freed, and is only ever called by __init functions anyway. Thus the __ref marker is misleading and unnecessary. Instead, this patch marks create_mapping as __init, resulting in warnings if it is used from a a non __init functions, and allowing its memory to be reclaimed.

lib/list_sort.c defines a 'struct debug_el', where "el" is assumedly a a contraction of "element". This conflicts with 'enum debug_el' in our asm/debug-monitors.h header file, where "el" stands for Exception Level. The result is build failure when targetting allmodconfig, so rename our enum to 'dbg_active_el' to be slightly more explicit about what it is. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

The cost of changing a cacheline from shared to exclusive state can be significant, especially when this is triggered by an exclusive store, since it may result in having to retry the transaction.

On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1, it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences. This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that the CPU supports it. If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n.

In order to patch in the new atomic instructions at runtime, we need to generate wrappers around the out-of-line exclusive load/store atomics. This patch adds a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS. which causes our atomic functions to branch to the out-of-line ll/sc implementations. To avoid the register spill overhead of the PCS, the out-of-line functions are compiled with specific compiler flags to force out-of-line save/restore of any registers that are usually caller-saved.

Implement atomic logic ops -- atomic_{or,xor,and}. For tilegx, these are relatively straightforward; the architecture provides atomic "or" and "and", both 32-bit and 64-bit. To support xor we provide a loop using "cmpexch". For the older 32-bit tilepro architecture, we have to extend the set of low-level assembly routines to include 32-bit "and", as well as all three 64-bit routines. Somewhat confusingly, some 32-bit versions are already used by the bitops inlines, with parameter types appropriate for bitops, so we have to do a bit of casting to match "int" to "unsigned long".
