* Thumb-2: Implementation of the unified start-up and exceptions codeCatalin Marinas2009-07-24
| | | | | | | This patch implements the ARM/Thumb-2 unified kernel start-up and exception handling code. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
* Thumb-2: Add some .align statements to the .S filesCatalin Marinas2009-07-24
| | | | | | | | Since the Thumb-2 instructions can be 16-bit wide, data in the .text sections may not be aligned to a 32-bit word and this leads to unaligned exceptions. This patch does not affect the ARM code generation. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
* [ARM] 5565/2: Use PAGE_SIZE and RO_DATA() in link scriptLinus Walleij2009-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard- coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric constants.

* [ARM] 5560/1: Avoid buffer overrun in case of an invalid IRQAaro Koskinen2009-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | handle_bad_irq() expects the IRQ number to be valid (used for statistics), so it cannot be called with an illegal vector. The problem was reported by a static analysis tool. The change makes bad_irq_desc redundant, so delete it. Signed-off-by: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] idle: clean up pm_idle calling, obey hlt_counterRussell King2009-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | pm_idle is used by infrastructure (eg, cpuidle) which expects architectures to call it in a certain way. Arrange for ARM to follow x86's lead on this and call pm_idle() with interrupts already disabled. However, we expect pm_idle() to enable interrupts before it returns. Also, OMAP wants to be able to disable hlt-ing, so allow hlt_counter to prevent all calls to pm_idle. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

* [ARM] 5559/1: Limit the stack unwinding caused by a kthread exitCatalin Marinas2009-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a kthread function returns, it branches to do_exit(). However, the unwinding information isn't valid anymore and any stack trace caused by do_exit() may be incorrect. This patch adds a kernel_thread_exit() function and annotated with '.cantunwind' so that the unwinder stops when reaching it.

* [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacksCatalin Marinas2009-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr). The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The 0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian (byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support: - setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and user threads - big-endian page table walking - REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault processing as they are still little-endian format - Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to little-endian Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Those barriers are currently missing on ARM. - test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers. So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub operations which do not require barriers.

* [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation typesPaul Gortmaker2009-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is required. The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16 bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the top half of a register. The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value), so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value. The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel. Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted on linuxppc-dev earlier this month. It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final, so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls doesn't have to special-case ARM.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils (required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations are emitted for function epilogues. This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40" error message. The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the binutils bfd library.

There is already a facility to do this via the reboot() syscall, except we ignore the string passed to machine_restart(). This patch fixes things to pass this string to arch_reset(). This means that we keep the reboot mode limited to telling the kernel _how_ to perform the reboot which should be independent of what we request the boot loader to do.
