2010-09-09perf: Reduce perf_disable() usagePeter Zijlstra

2010-09-08ARM: 6357/1: hw-breakpoint: add new ptrace requests for hw-breakpoint ↵Will Deacon
interaction For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel, it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface. This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running thread. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: S.

2010-09-08ARM: 6356/1: hw-breakpoint: add ARM backend for the hw-breakpoint frameworkWill Deacon
The hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel requires architecture-specific support in order to install, remove, validate and manage hardware breakpoints. This patch adds initial support for this framework to the ARM architecture, but restricts the number of watchpoints to a single resource to get around the fact that the Data Fault Address Register is unknown when a watchpoint debug exception is taken. On cores with v7 debug, the Kernel can handle breakpoint and watchpoint exceptions occuring from userspace. Older cores require clients to handle the exception themselves by registering an appropriate overflow handler or, in the case of ptrace, handling the raised SIGTRAP. The memory-mapped extended debug interface is unsupported due to its unreliability in real implementations. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: S.

2010-09-02ARM: 6352/1: perf: fix event validationWill Deacon
The validate_event function in the ARM perf events backend has the following problems: 1.) Events that are disabled count towards the cost. 2.) Events associated with other PMUs [for example, software events or breakpoints] do not count towards the cost, but do fail validation, causing the group to fail. This patch changes validate_event so that it ignores events in the PERF_EVENT_STATE_OFF state or that are scheduled for other PMUs.

2010-09-02ARM: 6341/1: unwind - optimise linked-list searches for modulesPhil Carmody
With several sections per module, and dozens of modules, the searches down the linked list of sections would dominate the lookup time, dwarfing any savings from the binary search within the section. A simple move-to-front optimisation exploits the commonality of the code paths taken, and in simple real-world tests reduces the number of steps in the search to barely more than 1.

2010-09-02ARM: 6340/1: module - additional unwind tables for exit/devexit sectionsPhil Carmody
Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak. This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable. Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation. It also adds support for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers.

Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the Thumb-2 instruction set by correcting the following errors using the fixes suggested by Catalin Marinas: - Problem: The following assembler errors appear at the "adr r0, ftrace_stub" instruction: entry-common.S: Assembler messages: entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004) Fix: The errors don't occur with a non-global symbol, so use one. - Problem: The "mov lr, pc" does not set the lsb when storing the pc in lr. The called function returns with "bx lr", and the mode changes to ARM. Fix: Add a label on the return address and use "adr lr, BSYM(label)". We don't modify the old mcount because it won't be built when using Thumb-2.

The 2.6.36-rc kernel added three new system calls: fanotify_init, fanotify_mark, and prlimit64. This patch wires them up on ARM. The only non-trivial issue here is the u64 argument to sys_fanotify_mark(), but it is the 3rd argument and thus passed in r2/r3 in both kernel and user space, so it causes no problems.

2010-08-17Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

2010-08-15ARM: 6329/1: wire up sys_accept4() on ARMMikael Pettersson
sys_accept4() was added in kernel 2.6.28, but ARM was not updated to include it. The number and types of parameters is such that no ARM-specific processing is needed, so wiring up sys_accept4() just requires defining __NR_accept4 and adding a direct call in the syscall entry table. Tested with an EABI 2.6.35 kernel and Ulrich Drepper's original accept4() test program, modified to define __NR_accept4 for ARM. Using the updated unistd.h also eliminates a warning then building glibc (2.10.2 and newer) about accept4() being unimplemented.

2010-07-27ARM: call machine_shutdown() from machine_halt(), etcRussell King
x86 calls machine_shutdown() from the various machine_*() calls which take the machine down ready for halting, restarting, etc, and uses this to bring the system safely to a point where those actions can be performed. Such actions are stopping the secondary CPUs. So, change the ARM implementation of these to reflect what x86 does. This solves kexec problems on ARM SMP platforms, where the secondary CPUs were left running across the kexec call. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-07-27ARM: SMP: Always enable clock event broadcast supportRussell King
The TWD local timers are unable to wake up the CPU when it is placed into a low power mode, eg. C3. Therefore, we need to adapt things such that the TWD code can cope with this. We do this by always providing a broadcast tick function, and marking the fact that the TWD local timer will stop in low power modes. This means that when the CPU is placed into a low power mode, the core timer code marks this fact, and allows an IPI to be given to the core.
