* sanitize tsk_is_polling()Al Viro2012-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Make default just return 0. The current default (checking TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it; ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all. ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... no need to read current_thread_info()->task only to feed it to task_thread_page() immediately afterwards. Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends up with better assembler - we need a location very close to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large one. Both & and | would be a couple of insns (mvn lsr/mvn lsl for |, a pair of bic for &), but the following addition would cost a pair of add while the subtraction ends up as a single sub.

* ARM: 7488/1: mm: use 5 bits for swapfile type encodingWill Deacon2012-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Page migration encodes the pfn in the offset field of a swp_entry_t. For LPAE, we support physical addresses of up to 36 bits (due to sparsemem limitations with the size of page flags), requiring 24 bits to represent a pfn. A further 3 bits are used to encode a swp_entry into a pte, leaving 5 bits for the type field. Furthermore, the core code defines MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT as 5, so the additional type bit does not get used. This patch reduces the width of the type field to 5 bits, allowing us to create up to 31 swapfiles of 64GB each.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Swap entries are encoding in ptes such that !pte_present(pte) and pte_file(pte). The remaining bits of the descriptor are used to identify the swapfile and offset within it to the swap entry.

* ARM: 7486/1: sched_clock: update epoch_cyc on resumeColin Cross2012-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many clocks that are used to provide sched_clock will reset during suspend. If read_sched_clock returns 0 after suspend, sched_clock will appear to jump forward. This patch resets cd.epoch_cyc to the current value of read_sched_clock during resume, which causes sched_clock() just after suspend to return the same value as sched_clock() just before suspend. In addition, during the window where epoch_ns has been updated before suspend, but epoch_cyc has not been updated after suspend, it is unknown whether the clock has reset or not, and sched_clock() could return a bogus value. Add a suspended flag, and return the pre-suspend epoch_ns value during this period. The new behavior is triggered by calling setup_sched_clock_needs_suspend instead of setup_sched_clock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vivt_flush_cache_{range,page} functions check that the mm_struct of the VMA being flushed has been active on the current CPU before performing the cache maintenance. The gate_vma has a NULL mm_struct pointer and, as such, will cause a kernel fault if we try to flush it with the above operations. This happens during ELF core dumps, which include the gate_vma as it may be useful for debugging purposes. This patch adds checks to the VIVT cache flushing functions so that VMAs with a NULL mm_struct are flushed unconditionally (the vectors page may be dirty if we use it to store the current TLS pointer).

| * ARM: 7467/1: mutex: use generic xchg-based implementation for ARMv6+Will Deacon2012-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The open-coded mutex implementation for ARMv6+ cores suffers from a severe lack of barriers, so in the uncontended case we don't actually protect any accesses performed during the critical section. Furthermore, the code is largely a duplication of the ARMv6+ atomic_dec code but optimised to remove a branch instruction, as the mutex fastpath was previously inlined. Now that this is executed out-of-line, we can reuse the atomic access code for the locking (in fact, we use the xchg code as this produces shorter critical sections). This patch uses the generic xchg based implementation for mutexes on ARMv6+, which introduces barriers to the lock/unlock operations and also has the benefit of removing a fair amount of inline assembly code.

This is especially important on systems where memory-access times are not necessarily uniform when accessing the lock structure (for example, on a multi-cluster platform where the lock is allocated into L1 when a CPU releases it). This patch implements the ticket spinlock algorithm for ARM, replacing the simpler implementation for ARMv6+ processors.

| | * | ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selectedWill Deacon2012-07-09

This further allows us to skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the face of core frequency scaling. To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C, the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay functions directly.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements read_current_timer using the architected timers when they are selected via CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER. If they are detected not to be usable at runtime, we return -ENXIO to the caller. Furthermore, if read_current_timer is exported then we can implement get_cycles in terms of it for use as both an entropy source and for implementing __udelay and friends.

Conflicts: arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to restart the originally interrupted system call. The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.
