2010-12-24ARM: 6532/1: Allow machine to specify it's own IRQ handlers at run-timeeric miao
Normally different ARM platform has different way to decode the IRQ hardware status and demultiplex to the corresponding IRQ handler. This is highly optimized by macro irq_handler in entry-armv.S, and each machine defines their own macro to decode the IRQ number. However, this prevents multiple machine classes to be built into a single kernel. By allowing each machine to specify thier own handler, and making function pointer 'handle_arch_irq' to point to it at run time, this can be solved. And introduce CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER to allow both solutions to work. Comparing with the highly optimized macro of irq_handler, the new function must be written with care not to lose too much performance. And the IPI stuff on SMP is expected to move to the provided arch IRQ handler as well. The assembly code to invoke handle_arch_irq is optimized by Russell King.

2010-12-22ARM: sched_clock: provide common infrastructure for sched_clock()Russell King
Provide common sched_clock() infrastructure for platforms to use to create a 64-bit ns based sched_clock() implementation from a counter running at a non-variable clock rate. This implementation is based upon maintaining an epoch for the counter and an epoch for the nanosecond time. When we desire a sched_clock() time, we calculate the number of counter ticks since the last epoch update, convert this to nanoseconds and add to the epoch nanoseconds. We regularly refresh these epochs within the counter wrap interval. We perform a similar calculation as above, and store the new epochs. We read and write the epochs in such a way that sched_clock() can easily (and locklessly) detect when an update is in progress, and repeat the loading of these constants when they're known not to be stable. The one caveat is that sched_clock() is not called in the middle of an update. We achieve that by disabling IRQs. Finally, if the clock rate is known at compile time, the counter to ns conversion factors can be specified, allowing sched_clock() to be tightly optimized. We ensure that these factors are correct by providing an initialization function which performs a run-time check.

2010-12-20ARM: localtimer: clean up local timer on hot unplugRussell King
When a CPU is hot unplugged, the generic tick code cleans up the clock event device, but fails to call down to the device's set_mode function to actually shut the device down. To work around this, we've historically had a local_timer_stop() callback out of the hotplug code. However, this adds needless complexity when we have the clock event device itself available. Explicitly call the clock event device's set_mode function with CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED, so that the hardware can be cleanly shutdown without any special external callbacks. When/if the generic code is fixed, percpu_timer_stop() can be killed off. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-20ARM: 6516/1: Allow SMP_ON_UP to work with Thumb-2 kernels.Dave Martin
* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the THUMB2_KERNEL case. For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on. No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep the code as simple as possible. * Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre. * Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that the content really is the right size (4 bytes). (No check is done for ALT_SMP(). Possibly, this could be fixed by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros. In the first case, ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.) * smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct instruction size is satisfied in this case. * A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb: smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser) smp_dmb @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP() This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb, when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page. There might be a better way to achieve this. * Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on (!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2 currently assumes little-endian order.)

2010-11-04ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas
This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register. Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory. Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to the LDR/STR ones. The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page isn't possible. The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok() function so that they do not point to the kernel space.
