arm64: compat: use compat_uptr_t type for compat_ucontext.uc_link

2013-02-28T13:38:38+00:00

commit c0e01d5d8f15c085236df184e5bc3d79a8b700cd upstream.

struct compat_ucontext * is a 64-bit pointer, so we need to use a
compat_uptr_t instead to avoid declaring a structure incompatible with
what AArch32 userspace expects.

arm64: vdso: remove broken, redundant sequence counting for timezones

2013-01-10T10:43:43+00:00

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove
redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()").

Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required
to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the
counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz,
so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the
vdso.

ARCH: drivers remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:13+00:00

This fixes up all of the smaller arches that had __dev* markings for
their platform-specific drivers.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

compat: generic compat_sys_sched_rr_get_interval() implementation

2012-12-18T01:15:18+00:00

This function is used by sparc, powerpc tile and arm64 for compat support.
 The patch adds a generic implementation with a wrapper for PowerPC to do
the u32->int sign extension.

The reason for a single patch covering powerpc, tile, sparc and arm64 is
to keep it bisectable, otherwise kernel building may fail with mismatched
function declarations.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal

2012-12-12T20:22:13+00:00

Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
 "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
  stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
  literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.

  A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):

   - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.

     We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
     or kernel_execve():

     kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
     return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
     successful do_execve() before returning.

     kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
     do transition to user mode anymore.

     As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
     arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
     resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely
     architecture-independent.

   - daemonize() is gone, along with its parts in fs/*.c

   - struct pt_regs * is no longer passed to do_fork/copy_process/
     copy_thread/do_execve/search_binary_handler/->load_binary/do_coredump.

   - sys_fork()/sys_vfork()/sys_clone() unified; some architectures
     still need wrappers (ones with callee-saved registers not saved in
     pt_regs on syscall entry), but the main part of those suckers is in
     kernel/fork.c now."

  do_coredump(): get rid of pt_regs argument
  print_fatal_signal(): get rid of pt_regs argument

arm64: move FP-SIMD save/restore code to a macro

2012-12-05T11:26:50+00:00

In order to be able to reuse the save-restore code in KVM, move
it to a pair of macros, similar to what the 32bit code does.

arm64: hyp: initialize vttbr_el2 to zero

2012-12-05T11:26:50+00:00

The architecture doesn't mandate any reset value for vttbr_el2.
Better set it to a known value before some HYP code gets confused.

arm64: add hypervisor stub

2012-12-05T11:26:49+00:00

If booted in EL2, install an dummy hypervisor whose only purpose
is to be replaced by a full fledged one.

A minimal API allows to:
- obtain the current HYP vectors (__hyp_get_vectors)
- set new HYP vectors (__hyp_set_vectors)

arm64: record boot mode when entering the kernel

2012-12-05T11:26:48+00:00

To be able to signal the availability of EL2 to other parts of
the kernel, record the boot mode.

Once booted, two predicates indicate if HYP mode is available,
and if not, whether this is due to a boot mode mismatch or not.
