The section of the makefile that determines the TEXT_OFFSET is sorted by address so that, in multi-arch kernel builds, the architecture with the most stringent requirements for the kernel base address gets to define TEXT_OFFSET.

Since pj4b suspend/resume routines are implemented based on generic ARMv7 ones, instead of hard-coding cpu_pj4b_suspend_size, we should have it be cpu_v7_suspend_size plus pj4b specific bytes. Otherwise, if cpu_v7_suspend_size gets updated alone, the pj4b suspend/resume will likely be broken. While at it, fix the comments in cpu_pj4b_do_resume, as we're restoring CP15 registers rather than saving in there.

Commit 78d7530a ("ARM: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.") modified the arm kernel linker script to use the STABS_DEBUG macro, but left a .comment section definition. As STABS_DEBUG defines the .comment section in an identical way, the second section definition is redundant and can be removed. This patch removes the redundant .comment section definition.

Currently there are numerous places where "struct pt_regs" are used to populate "struct stackframe", however all of those location do not consider the situation where the kernel might be compiled in THUMB2 mode, in which case the framepointer member of pt_regs become ARM_r7 instead of ARM_fp (r11). Document this idiosyncracy in the definition of "struct stackframe" The easiest solution is to introduce a new function (in the spirit of https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/linux.kernel/dA2YuUcSpZ4) which would hide the complexity of initializing the stackframe struct from pt_regs. Also implement a macro frame_pointer(regs) that would return the correct register so that we can use it in cases where we just require the frame pointer and not a whole struct stackframe Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <Nikolay.Borisov@arm.com> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Acked-by: Robert Richter <rric@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

With patch #8067/1 ("zImage: ensure header in LE format for BE8 kernels") applied, it is no longer possible to determine the endianness of a compiled kernel image. This normally shouldn't matter to the boot environment, except for those cases where the selection of a ramdisk or root filesystem with a matching endianness has to be automated. Let's add a flag to the zImage header indicating the actual endianness. Four bytes from offset 0x30 can be interpreted as follows: 04 03 02 01 big endian kernel 01 02 03 04 little endian kernel Anything else should be interpreted as "unknown", in which case it is most likely that patch #8067/1 was not applied either and the zImage magic number at offset 0x24 could be used instead to determine endianness. No zImage before this patch ever produced 0x01020304 nor 0x04030201 at offset 0x30 so there is no confusion possible.

Save and report (via the procfs file) the last kernel unaligned fault location. This allows us to trivially inspect where the last fault happened for cases which we don't expect to occur. Since we expect the kernel to generate misalignment faults (due to the networking layer), even when warnings are enabled, we don't log them for the kernel.

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

Ensure that platform maintainers check the CPU part number in the right manner: the CPU part number is meaningless without also checking the CPU implement(e|o)r (choose your preferred spelling!) Provide an interface which returns both the implementer and part number together, and update the definitions to include the implementer. Mark the old function as being deprecated... indeed, using the old function with the definitions will now always evaluate as false, so people must update their un-merged code to the new function. While this could be avoided by adding new definitions, we'd also have to create new names for them which would be awkward.

The Chromebook firmware doesn't enable the CCI for the boot cpu, and arguably it shouldn't have to either. Let's have the kernel handle the CCI on its own for the boot CPU the same way it does it for secondary CPUs by using the MCPM loopback. This allows to boot all 8 cores on exynos5420-peach-pit, exynos5800-peach-pi and ARM Chromebook 2.

The kernel already has the responsibility to handle resources such as the CCI when hotplugging CPUs, during the booting of secondary CPUs, and when resuming from suspend/idle. It would be more coherent and less confusing if the CCI for the boot CPU (or cluster) was also initialized by the kernel rather than expecting the firmware/bootloader to do it and only in that case. After all, the kernel has all the necessary code already and the bootloader shouldn't have to care at all. The CCI may be turned on only when the cache is off. Leveraging the CPU suspend code to loop back through the low-level MCPM entry point is all that is needed to properly turn on the CCI from the kernel by using the same code as during secondary boot. Let's provide a generic MCPM loopback function that can be invoked by backend initialization code to set things (CCI or similar) on the boot CPU just as it is done for the other CPUs.

Changing kernel stack size on arm is not as simple as it should be: 1) THREAD_SIZE macro doesn't respect PAGE_SIZE and THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 2) stack size is hardcoded in get_thread_info macro This patch fixes it by calculating THREAD_SIZE and thread_info address taking into account PAGE_SIZE and THREAD_SIZE_ORDER. Now changing stack size becomes simply changing THREAD_SIZE_ORDER.

Pull ARM fixes from Russell King: "Another round of ARM fixes. The largest change here is the L2 changes to work around problems for the Armada 37x/380 devices, where most of the size comes down to comments rather than code. The other significant fix here is for the ptrace code, to ensure that rewritten syscalls work as intended. This was pointed out by Kees Cook, but Will Deacon reworked the patch to be more elegant.

On the syscall tracing path, we call out to secure_computing() to allow seccomp to check the syscall number being attempted. As part of this, a SIGTRAP may be sent to the tracer and the syscall could be re-written by a subsequent SET_SYSCALL ptrace request. Unfortunately, this new syscall is ignored by the current code unless TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is also set on the current thread. This patch slightly reworks the enter path of the syscall tracing code so that we always reload the syscall number from current_thread_info()->syscall after the potential ptrace traps.

When a PL310 cache is used on a system that provides hardware coherency, the outer cache sync operation is useless, and can be skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe controller and the Cortex-A9. To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property 'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the outer cache sync operation. Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and only ->sync is disabled. While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only used in very specific situations. Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

On uniprocessor preemptible kernel, target core deadlocks on unload. The following events happen: * iscsit_del_np is called * it calls send_sig(SIGINT, np->np_thread, 1); * the scheduler switches to the np_thread * the np_thread is woken up, it sees that kthread_should_stop() returns false, so it doesn't terminate * the np_thread clears signals with flush_signals(current); and goes back to sleep in iscsit_accept_np * the scheduler switches back to iscsit_del_np * iscsit_del_np calls kthread_stop(np->np_thread); * the np_thread is waiting in iscsit_accept_np and it doesn't respond to kthread_stop The deadlock could be resolved if the administrator sends SIGINT signal to the np_thread with killall -INT iscsi_np The reproducible deadlock was introduced in commit db6077fd, but the thread-stopping code was racy even before. This patch fixes the problem. Using kthread_should_stop to stop the np_thread is unreliable, so we test np_thread_state instead. If np_thread_state equals ISCSI_NP_THREAD_SHUTDOWN, the thread exits.
