ARM: reserve syscall 378 for kcmp

2012-09-21T16:56:25+00:00

kcmp has appeared on x86, but has not been noticed because
checksyscalls.sh is broken at the moment.  Reserve ARM syscall 378
for this should we ever need it, and add an __IGNORE entry for this
unimplemented syscall.

It looks that the warning is caused by that twd_update_frequency() gets
called from an atomic context while it calls clk_get_rate() where a
mutex gets held.

To fix the warning, let's convert common clk users over to clk notifiers
in place of CPUfreq notifiers.  This works out nicely for Cortex-A9
MPcore designs that scale all CPUs at the same frequency.

Platforms that have not been converted to the common clk framework and
support CPUfreq will rely on the old mechanism.  Once these platforms
are converted over fully then we can remove the CPUfreq-specific bits
for good.

ARM: 7526/1: traps: send SIGILL if get_user fails on undef handling path

2012-09-07T19:40:44+00:00

get_user may fail to load from the provided __user address due to an
unhandled fault generated by the access.

In the case of the undefined instruction trap, this results in failure
to load the faulting instruction, in which case we should send SIGILL to
the task rather than continue with potentially uninitialised data.

ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte watchpoints on all addresses

2012-08-25T08:15:23+00:00

Breakpoint validation currently fails for single-byte watchpoints on
addresses ending in 11b. There is no reason to forbid such a watchpoint,
so extend the validation code to allow it.

ARM: 7496/1: hw_breakpoint: don't rely on dfsr to show watchpoint access type

2012-08-25T08:15:23+00:00

From ARM debug architecture v7.1 onwards, a watchpoint exception causes
the DFAR to be updated with the faulting data address. However, DFSR.WnR
takes an UNKNOWN value and therefore cannot be used in general to
determine the access type that triggered the watchpoint.

This patch forbids watchpoints without an overflow handler from
specifying a specific access type (load/store). Those with overflow
handlers must be able to handle false positives potentially triggered by
a watchpoint of a different access type on the same address. For
SIGTRAP-based handlers (i.e. ptrace), this should have no impact.

ARM: 7486/1: sched_clock: update epoch_cyc on resume

2012-08-11T08:15:58+00:00

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 function init_cpu_topology() references

This is often because init_cpu_topology lacks a __init

ARM: Fix undefined instruction exception handling

2012-07-31T11:04:30+00:00

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling.  This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.

The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed.  However, if the exception is
not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.

This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes.  This is not true of
Thumb2 though.

Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment.  Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.
