In the case of a conflict between the memory used by the compressed kernel with its decompressor code and the memory used for the decompressed kernel, we currently store the later after the former and relocate it afterwards. This would be more efficient to do this the other way around i.e. relocate the compressed data up front instead, resulting in a smaller copy. That also has the advantage of making the code smaller and more straight forward. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

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.

Some installers would binary patch the kernel zImage to replace the first few nops with custom instructions. This breaks the Thumb2 kernel as the mode switch is right at the beginning.

In commit e616c591, 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.

Current diagnostics are rather poor when things go wrong: ipv6: relocation out of range, section 2 reloc 0 sym 'snmp_mib_free' Let's include a little more information about the problem: ipv6: section 2 reloc 0 sym 'snmp_mib_free': relocation 28 out of range (0xbf0000a4 -> 0xc11b4858) so that we show exactly what the problem is - not only what type of relocation but also the offending address range too.

We have 'install' and 'zinstall' for installing Image and zImage kernels, so add 'uinstall' to complete the set. This allows developers to have a ~/bin/installkernel script which (eg) copies the kernel to the tftp server automatically once the kernel has built, resulting in a better workflow.

Achieve better usage of the DMA coherent region by doing top-down allocation rather than bottom up. If we ask for a 128kB allocation, this will be aligned to 128kB and satisfied from the very bottom address. If we then ask for a 600kB allocation, this will be aligned to 1MB, and we will have a 896kB hole. Performing top-down allocation resolves this by allocating the 128kB at the very top, and then the 600kB can come in below it without any unnecessary wastage. This problem was reported by Janusz Krzysztofik, who had 2 x 128kB + 1 x 640kB allocations which wouldn't fit into 1MB.

Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type information, the machine type lookup can be deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which simplifies the code somewhat. We also move the __error_a functionality into setup.c for displaying a message when a bad machine ID is passed to the kernel via the LL debug code. We also log this into the kernel ring buffer which makes it possible to retrieve the message via a debugger. Original idea from Grant Likely.

Allow non-ARM SMP processors to use the SMP_ON_UP feature. CPUs supporting SMP must have the new CPU ID format, so check for this first. Then check for ARM11MPCore, which fails the MPIDR check. Lastly check the MPIDR reports multiprocessing extensions and that the CPU is part of a multiprocessing system.

Disable the initrd if the passed address already overlaps the reserved region. This avoids oopses on Netwinders when NeTTrom tells the kernel that an initrd is located at mem+4MB, but this overlaps the BSS, resulting in the kernels in-use BSS being freed. This should be applied to v2.6.37-stable. Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

In ntfs_mft_record_alloc() when mapping the new extent mft record with map_extent_mft_record() we overwrite @M with the return value and on error, we then try to use the old @M but that is no longer there as @M now contains an error code instead so we crash when dereferencing the error code as if it were a pointer. The simple fix is to use a temporary variable to store the return value thus preserving the original @M for later use. This is a backport from the commercial Tuxera-NTFS driver and is well tested... Thanks go to Julia Lawall for pointing this out (whilst I had fixed it in the commercial driver I had failed to fix it in the Linux kernel).
