2007-02-25[ARM] 4226/1: initial .data and .bss mappings of XIP kernel should be ↵Nicolas Pitre
TEXT_OFFSET aware Since TEXT_OFFSET is meant to determine RAM location for kernel use, itshould affect .data and .bss initial mapping in the XIP case. Otherwise a XIP kernel would crash if TEXT_OFFSET gets somewhat larger than 2MB. Corresponding code is also moved up a bit to be near the similar .text mapping code making the whole a bit more straight forward to understand.

2007-02-25[ARM] 4224/2: allow XIP kernel to boot againNicolas Pitre
Since commit 2552fc27ff79b10b9678d92bcaef21df38bb7bb6 XIP kernels failed to boot because (_end - PAGE_OFFSET - 1) is much smaller than the size of the kernel text and data in the XIP case, causing the kernel not to be entirely mapped. Even in the non-XIP case, the use of (_end - PAGE_OFFSET - 1) is wrong because it produces a too large value if TEXT_OFFSET is larger than 1MB. Finally the original code was performing one loop too many. Let's break the loop when the section pointer has passed the last byte of the kernel instead.

2007-02-17[ARM] 4185/2: entry: introduce get_irqnr_preamble and arch_ret_to_userDan Williams
get_irqnr_preamble allows machines to take some action before entering the get_irqnr_and_base loop. On iop we enable cp6 access. arch_ret_to_user is added to the userspace return path to allow individual architectures to take actions, like disabling coprocessor access, before the final return to userspace. Per Nicolas Pitre's note, there is no need to cp_wait on the return to user as the latency to return is sufficient.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-06[ARM] Move processor_modes[] to .../process.cRussell King
bad_mode() currently prints the mode which caused the exception, and then causes an oops dump to be printed which again displays this information (since the CPSR in the struct pt_regs is correct.) This leads to processor_modes[] being shared between traps.c and process.c with a local declaration of it. We can clean this up by moving processor_modes[] to process.c and removing the duplication, resulting in processor_modes[] becoming static. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-01-24[ARM] 4102/1: Allow for PHYS_OFFSET on any valid 2MiB addressLinus Walleij
This patchs allows the offset to the first page of physical memory to be on any 2MB boundary whereas the previous code could only handle psysical offset to any 16MB boundary (0xNN000000) or any 1MB boundary below 0x01000000 (e.g. 0x00N00000). The problem is a consequence of the orr one-byte syntax, so we fix this and we can place the first bank of memory at 0x28e00000. I have also included an explicit check that disallow compilation when PHYS_OFFSET is not on a 2MiB boundary. head.S would be the proper place to have this at since this is the first file that attempts to use PHYS_OFFSET during compile.

2006-12-03[ARM] 3881/4: xscale: clean up cp0/cp1 handlingLennert Buytenhek
XScale cores either have a DSP coprocessor (which contains a single 40 bit accumulator register), or an iWMMXt coprocessor (which contains eight 64 bit registers.) Because of the small amount of state in the DSP coprocessor, access to the DSP coprocessor (CP0) is always enabled, and DSP context switching is done unconditionally on every task switch. Access to the iWMMXt coprocessor (CP0/CP1) is enabled only when an iWMMXt instruction is first issued, and iWMMXt context switching is done lazily. CONFIG_IWMMXT is supposed to mean 'the cpu we will be running on will have iWMMXt support', but boards are supposed to select this config symbol by hand, and at least one pxa27x board doesn't get this right, so on that board, proc-xscale.S will incorrectly assume that we have a DSP coprocessor, enable CP0 on boot, and we will then only save the first iWMMXt register (wR0) on context switches, which is Bad. This patch redefines CONFIG_IWMMXT as 'the cpu we will be running on might have iWMMXt support, and we will enable iWMMXt context switching if it does.' This means that with this patch, running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=n kernel on an iWMMXt-capable CPU will no longer potentially corrupt iWMMXt state over context switches, and running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=y kernel on a non-iWMMXt capable CPU will still do DSP context save/restore. These changes should make iWMMXt work on PXA3xx, and as a side effect, enable proper acc0 save/restore on non-iWMMXt capable xsc3 cores such as IOP13xx and IXP23xx (which will not have CONFIG_CPU_XSCALE defined), as well as setting and using HWCAP_IWMMXT properly.

2006-11-30[ARM] 3911/2: Simplify alloc_thread_info on ARMPaul Gortmaker
Remove ARM local cache of 4 struct thread_info. Can cause oops under certain circumstances. Russell indicated the original optimization was required on older kernels to avoid thread starvation on memory fragmentation, but may no longer be required. I've updated the patch to 19rc4 and ensured no <config.h> dain-bramage slipped in this time (sorry about that). Original description follows: I was given some test results which pointed to an Oops in alloc_thread_info (happened 2x), and after looking at the code, I see that ARM has its own local cache of 4 struct thread_info. There wasn't any clear (to me) synchronization between the alloc_thread_info and the free_thread_info. I looked over the other arch, and they all simply allocate them on an as needed basis, so I simplified the ARM to do the same, based on the other arch (e.g. PPC) and the folks doing the testing have indicated that this fixed the oops.

2006-11-07[ARM] 3926/1: make timer led handle HZ != 100David Brownell
The timer LED is unusable at HZ=large, since it's got a hard-wired value of 100 ticks per cycle; when HZ=1024 (for example) it's essentially always-on. This patch just makes that be HZ ticks per cycle. Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-11-02[ARM] 3912/1: Make PXA270 advertise HWCAP_IWMMXT capabilityPaul Gortmaker
ARM patch 3756/1 added HWCAP_IWMMXT. This patch adds support for broadcasting that info via /proc/cpuinfo and sets it for the CPU features of the PXA270. I've booted 19rc3 on a pxa270 and confirmed that the /proc/cpuinfo shows "iwmmxt" in the Features.

2006-10-28[ARM] Fix SMP irqflags supportRussell King
The IRQ changes a while back broke the build for SMP machines. Fix up the SMP code to use set_irq_regs/get_irq_regs as appropriate. Also, fix a warning in arch/arm/kernel/time.c where 'regs' becomes unused for SMP builds. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-10-27[PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sectionsAndrew Morton
Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table, teach all the architectures to use it. This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for multithreaded-probing.
