Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache) caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write GOT entries. The problem is due to an interaction between the write faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been invalidated. a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency. This patch provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the region is being made executable again.) This ensures that the I-cache will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages. Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly synchronized.

flush_cache_mm() is called in two cases: 1. when a process exits, just before the page tables are torn down. We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without causing any harm. 2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID. The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought into the new process address space. Flushing the I-cache here is therefore unnecessary. However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

The I and D caches for copy-on-write pages on processors with write-allocate caches become incoherent causing problems on application relying on CoW for text pages (dynamic linker relocating symbols in a text page). This patch flushes the D-cache for such pages. Cc: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Both call sites for __flush_dcache_page() end up calling __flush_icache_all() themselves, so having __flush_dcache_page() do this as well is wasteful. Remove the duplicated icache flushing. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This driver implements support for on-chip Embedded Tracing Macrocell and Embedded Trace Buffer. It allows to trigger tracing of kernel execution flow and exporting trace output to userspace via character device and a sysrq combo. Trace output can then be decoded by a fairly simple open source tool [1] which is already sufficient to get the idea of what the kernel is doing.

Code was added to mm/higmem.c that depends on several kmap types that powerpc does not support. We add dummy invalid definitions for KM_NMI, KM_NM_PTE, and KM_IRQ_PTE. According to list discussion, this fix should not be needed anymore starting with 2.6.33. The code is commented to this effect so hopefully we will remember to remove this.
