Uwe Kleine-König authored
The platforms selecting NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H defined the start address of their physical memory in the respective <mach/memory.h>. With ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT=y (which is quite common today) this is useless though because the definition isn't used but determined dynamically. So remove the definitions from all <mach/memory.h> and provide the Kconfig symbol PHYS_OFFSET with the respective defaults in case ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT isn't enabled. This allows to drop the dependency of PHYS_OFFSET on !NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H which prevents compiling an integrator nommu-kernel. (CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET which has "default PHYS_OFFSET if !MMU" expanded to "0x" because CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET doesn't exist as INTEGRATOR selects NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H.)

For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty ptes: L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY !pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1 !pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1 pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1 pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0 So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as read only when they are writeable but not dirty. This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58, and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes and read only ptes. HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically. We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.

Long descriptors on ARM are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast. For example: gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1); where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int. This patch introduces a new macro pte_isset which performs the bitwise and, then performs a double logical invert (where needed) to ensure predictable downcasting. The logical inverse pte_isclear is also introduced. Equivalent pmd functions for Transparent HugePages have also been added.

The CP15 diagnostic register holds ARM errata bits on Cortex-A9, so it needs to be saved/restored on suspend/resume. Otherwise, the effectiveness of errata workaround gets lost together with diagnostic register bit across suspend/resume cycle. And the CP15 power control register of Cortex-A9 shares the same problem. The patch adds a couple of Cortex-A9 specific suspend/resume functions to save/restore these two Cortex-A9 CP15 registers across the suspend/resume cycle.

Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user(). This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other 32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, sh. Credit: My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4 I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine even if credit should more widely shared. Changelog: v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King) v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King), used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file), cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8. v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion) v1: original Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
