2011-07-02ARM: entry: prefetch abort: tail-call the main prefetch abort handlerRussell King
Tail-call the main C prefetch abort handler code from the per-CPU helper code. Also note that the helper function becomes ABI compliant in terms of the registers preserved. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-02ARM: entry: re-allocate registers in irq entry assembly macrosRussell King
This avoids the irq entry assembly corrupting r5, thereby allowing it to be preserved through to the svc exit code. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-02ARM: entry: consolidate trace_hardirqs_off into (svc|usr)_entry macrosRussell King
All handlers now call trace_hardirqs_off, so move this common code into the (svc|usr)_entry assembler macros. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-02ARM: entry: instrument usr exception handlers with irqsoff tracingRussell King
As we no longer re-enable interrupts in these exception handlers, add the irqsoff tracing calls to them so that the kernel tracks the state more accurately. Note that these calls are conditional on IRQSOFF_TRACER: kernel ----------> user ---------> kernel ^ irqs enabled ^ irqs disabled No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not take any locks etc. So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask state while userspace is running unless we're doing IRQ off latency tracing. So, we can (and do) avoid the overhead of updating the IRQ mask state on every kernel->user and user->kernel transition. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-02ARM: entry: instrument svc undefined exception handler with irqtraceRussell King
Add irqtrace function calls to the undefined exception handler, so that we get sane lockdep traces from locking problems in undefined exception handlers. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-02ARM: entry: avoid enabling interrupts in prefetch/data abort handlersRussell King
Avoid enabling interrupts if the parent context had interrupts enabled in the abort handler assembly code, and move this into the breakpoint/ page/alignment fault handlers instead. This gets rid of some special-casing for the breakpoint fault handlers from the low level abort handler path.

2011-07-02ARM: pm: allow suspend finisher to return error codesRussell King
There are SoCs where attempting to enter a low power state is ignored, and the CPU continues executing instructions with all state preserved. It is over-complex at that point to disable the MMU just to call the resume path. Instead, allow the suspend finisher to return error codes to abort suspend in this circumstance, where the cpu_suspend internals will then unwind the saved state on the stack. Also omit the tlb flush as no changes to the page tables will have happened. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-01perf: Add context field to perf_eventAvi Kivity
The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived argument, so many callers need to resort to looking up the perf_event in their local data structure. This is ugly and doesn't scale if a single callback services many perf_events. Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.

2011-07-01perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache eventsPeter Zijlstra
Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads and writes do reads only etc.. The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with unsupported events). I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since it does appear to have some NUMA bits. Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they clearly are NUMA capable.

2011-07-01perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interfacePeter Zijlstra
The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the resulting interrupt do the wakeup. For the various event classes: - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from the PMI-tail (ARM etc.) - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context. - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot perform wakeups, and hence need 0. As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented). The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

This patch adds support for platform_device_id tables, allowing new PMU types to be registered with the correct type, without requiring new platform_driver shims to provide the type.

2011-06-29ARM: 6975/1: pmu: reject duplicate PMU registrationsMark Rutland
Currently, the PMU reservation framework allows for multiple PMUs of the same type to register themselves. This can lead to a bug with the sequence: register_pmu(pmu1); reserve_pmu(pmu_type); register_pmu(pmu2); release_pmu(pmu1); Here, pmu1 cannot be released, and pmu2 cannot be reserved. This patch modifies register_pmu to reject registrations where a PMU is already present, preventing this problem. PMUs which can have multiple instances should not use the PMU reservation framework.

2011-06-29ARM: 6974/1: pmu: refactor reservationMark Rutland
Currently, PMU platform_device reservation relies on some minor abuse of the platform_device::id field for determining the type of PMU. This is problematic for device tree based probing, where the ID cannot be controlled. This patch removes reliance on the id field, and depends on each PMU's platform driver to figure out which type it is. As all PMUs handled by the current platform_driver name "arm-pmu" are CPU PMUs, this convention is hardcoded.

2011-06-29ARM: entry: no need to check parent IRQ mask in IRQ handler returnRussell King

2011-06-29ARM: entry: no need to increase preempt count for IRQ handlersRussell King

2011-06-24ARM: pm: convert cpu_suspend() to a normal functionRussell King
cpu_suspend() has a weird calling method which makes it only possible to call from assembly code: it returns with a modified stack pointer to finish the suspend, but on resume, it 'returns' via a provided pointer. We can make cpu_suspend() appear to be a normal function merely by swapping the resume pointer argument and the link register. Do so, and update all callers to take account of this more traditional behaviour.

2011-06-17ARM: 6963/1: Thumb-2: Relax relocation requirements for non-function symbolsDave Martin
The "Thumb bit" of a symbol is only really meaningful for function symbols (STT_FUNC). However, sometimes a branch is relocated against a non-function symbol; for example, PC-relative branches to anonymous assembler local symbols are typically fixed up against the start-of-section symbol, which is not a function symbol. Some inline assembler generates references of this type, such as fixup code generated by macros in <asm/uaccess.h>. The existing relocation code for R_ARM_THM_CALL/R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 interprets this case as an error, because the target symbol appears to be an ARM symbol; but this is really not the case, since the target symbol is just a base in these cases. The addend defines the precise offset to the target location, but since the addend is encoded in a non-interworking Thumb branch instruction, there is no explicit Thumb bit in the addend. Because these instructions never interwork, the implied Thumb bit in the addend is 1, and the destination is Thumb by definition. This patch removes the extraneous Thumb bit check for non-function symbols, enabling modules containing the affected relocation types to be loaded. No modification to the actual relocation code is required, since this code does not take bit[0] of the location->destination offset into account in any case. Function symbols are always checked for interworking conflicts, as before.

2011-06-06ARM: 6952/1: fix lockdep warning of "unannotated irqs-off"Ming Lei
This patch fixes the lockdep warning of "unannotated irqs-off"[1]. After entering __irq_usr, arm core will disable interrupt automatically, but __irq_usr does not annotate the irq disable, so lockdep may complain the warning if it has chance to check this in irq handler. This patch adds trace_hardirqs_off in __irq_usr before entering irq_handler to handle the irq, also calls ret_to_user_from_irq to avoid calling disable_irq again.

* setns: ns: Wire up the setns system call Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to addition of sendmmsg system call
2011-05-28ns: Wire up the setns system callEric W. Biederman
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked at closely and I can't find any problems. setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I don't expect any weird architecture porting problems. While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300 the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was new in the 2.6.39. v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com> v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6 v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts. v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree. >  arch/blackfin/include/asm/unistd.h     |    3 ++- >  arch/blackfin/mach-common/entry.S      |    1 + Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Oh - ia64 wiring looks good.

2011-05-26ARM: 6938/1: fiq: Refactor {get,set}_fiq_regs() for Thumb-2Dave Martin
* To remove the risk of inconvenient register allocation decisions by the compiler, these functions are separated out as pure assembler. * The apcs frame manipulation code is not applicable for Thumb-2 (and also not easily compatible). Since it's not essential to have a full frame on these leaf assembler functions, the frame manipulation is removed, in the interests of simplicity. * Split up ldm/stm instructions to be compatible with Thumb-2, as well as avoiding instruction forms deprecated on >= ARMv7.
