The ARM kernel uses undefined instructions to implement
BUG/BUG_ON(). This leads to problems where people don't read one
line above the Oops message and see the "kernel BUG at ..."
message and so they wrongly assume the kernel has hit an
undefined instruction.
Instead of printing:
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
print
Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
This should prevent people from thinking the BUG_ON was an
undefined instruction when it was actually intentional.

With an admittedly exotic choice of configuration options
(CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, THUMB2, some other size-minimizing ones)
and compiler, the proc_info table can end up being misaligned,
and the kernel being unbootable (Error: unrecognized/unsupported
processor variant).
Forcing the alignement to 4 bytes in the linker script fixes the
issue.

__kuser_cmpxchg64 has a return path using bx lr to get back to the caller.
This is actually ok since the code in question is predicated on
CONFIG_CPU_32v6K, but for the sake of consistency using the usr_ret
macro is probably better.

Commit 89d6c0b5 ("perf, arch: Add generic NODE cache events") added
empty NODE event definitions for the ARM PMU implementations. This was
merged along with Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A15 PMU support, so they missed
out on the original patch.
This patch adds the empty definitions to Cortex-A5 and Cortex-A15.

If we are context switched whilst copying into a thread's
vfp_hard_struct then the partial copy may be corrupted by the VFP
context switching code (see "ARM: vfp: flush thread hwstate before
restoring context from sigframe").
This patch updates the ptrace VFP set code so that the thread state is
flushed before the copy, therefore disabling VFP and preventing
corruption from occurring.

In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the
hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is
being read and modified. This leads to a race condition which can
cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context
save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate
is read and the time the modified state is written back.
This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a
ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread.
Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios --
none has been reported, so far as I am aware. Only uniprocessor
systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently
lazy in SMP kernels.
The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use
regsets to implement ptrace.
This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading
thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not
live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified.
Thanks to Will Deacon for spotting this.

Following execution of a signal handler, we currently restore the VFP
context from the ucontext in the signal frame. This involves copying
from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then
flushing the new data out to the hardware registers.
This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be
context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current
thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP
notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct,
overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code.
Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so
instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the
vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the
effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer,
therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on
the next context switch.

The dynamic ftrace ops startup test currently fails on Thumb-2 kernels:
Testing tracer function: PASSED
Testing dynamic ftrace: PASSED
Testing dynamic ftrace ops #1: (0 0 0 0 0) FAILED!
This is because while the addresses in the mcount records do not have
the zero bit set, the IP reported by the mcount call does have it set
(because it is copied from the LR). This mismatch causes the ops
filtering in ftrace_ops_list_func() to not call the relevant tracers.
Fix this by clearing the zero bit before adjusting the LR for the mcount
instruction size. Also, combine the mov+sub into a single sub
instruction.

On secondary CPUs, the Timer Control Register is not reset
to a sane value before the timer is registered, and the TRM
doesn't seem to indicate any reset value either. In some cases,
the kernel will take an interrupt too early, depending on what
junk was present in the registers at reset time.
The fix is to set the Timer Control Register to 0 before
registering the clock_event_device and enabling the interrupt.
Problem seen on VE (Cortex A5) and Tegra.

It turns out that the logical CPU mapping is useful even when !CONFIG_SMP
for manipulation of devices like interrupt and power controllers when
running a UP kernel on a CPU other than 0. This can happen when kexecing
a UP image from an SMP kernel.
In the future, multi-cluster systems running AMP configurations will
require something similar for mapping cluster IDs, so it makes sense to
decouple this logic in preparation for this support.

The exception fixup table is currently aligned to a 32-byte boundary.
Whilst this won't cause any problems, the exception_table_entry
structures contain only a pair of unsigned longs, so 4-byte alignment
is all that is required. If the table was walked from start to end,
cacheline alignment may bring some performance benefits, but since a
binary search is used, the access pattern is random and will not benefit
from a stricter alignment.

We can stall RCU processing on SMP platforms if a CPU sits in its idle
loop for a long time. This happens because we don't call irq_enter()
and irq_exit() around generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() and
friends. Add the necessary calls, and remove the one from within
ipi_timer(), so that they're all in a common place.

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the
ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the
MIPS platform and information in this
(http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html)
mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and
audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard
registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information
flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was
added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall
entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is
set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes
were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled.
Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested
on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29"
kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's
cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The
changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications,
the patch is "obviously correct".

This patch converts ARM's architecture-specific inlined
'pcibios_set_master()' routine to a non-inlined function. This will
allow follow on patches to create a generic 'pcibios_set_master()'
function using the '__weak' attribute which can be used by all
architectures as a default which, if necessary, can then be over-
ridden by architecture-specific code.
Converting 'pci_bios_set_master()' to a non-inlined function will allow
ARM's 'pcibios_set_master()' implementation to remain architecture-
specific after the generic version is introduced and thus, not change
current behavior.
Note that ARM also has a non-inlined 'pcibios_set_master()' that is
used if CONFIG_PCI_HOST_ITE8152 is defined. This patch does not
change any behavior here either.
No functional change.

This break-out from Colin Cross' cpufreq-aware TWD patch
will handle the case when our localtimer's clock changes with
the cpu clock. A cpufreq transtion notifier will be registered
only if the platform has supplied a specified clock to the TWD.
After a cpufreq transition, update the clockevent's frequency
by fetching the new clock rate from the clock framework and
reprogram the next clock event.
The necessary changes in the clockevents framework was done by
Thomas Gleixner in kernel v3.0.
ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Replace IS_ERR_OR_NULL() with IS_ERR() in twd_clk check.
- Update code to use the already existing per-cpu array of TWD
clockevents instead of adding cruft.

sched_clock() is yet another blocker on the road to the single
image. This patch implements an idea by Russell King:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg49561.html
Instead of asking the platform to implement both sched_clock()
itself and the rollover callback, simply register a read()
function, and let the ARM code care about sched_clock() itself,
the conversion to ns and the rollover. sched_clock() uses
this read() function as an indirection to the platform code.
If the platform doesn't provide a read(), the code falls back
to the jiffy counter (just like the default sched_clock).
This allow some simplifications and possibly some footprint gain
when multiple platforms are compiled in. Among the drawbacks,
the removal of the *_fixed_sched_clock optimization which could
negatively impact some platforms (sa1100, tegra, versatile
and omap).
Tested on 11MPCore, OMAP4 and Tegra.

The bisection implemented in unwind_find_origin() stopped to early. If
there is only a single entry left to check the original code just took
the end point as origin which might be wrong.
This was introduced in commit de66a979012d ("ARM: 7187/1: fix unwinding
for XIP kernels").

This patch fixes two separate issues with the SWP emulation handler:
1: Certain processors implementing ARMv7-A can (legally) take an
undef exception even when the condition code would have meant that
the instruction should not have been executed.
2: Opcodes with all flags set (condition code = 0xf) have been reused
in recent, and not-so-recent, versions of the ARM architecture to
implement unconditional extensions to the instruction set. The
existing code would still have processed any undefs triggered by
executing an opcode with such a value.
This patch uses the new generic ARM instruction set condition code
checks to implement proper handling of these situations.

This patch breaks the ARM condition checking code out of nwfpe/fpopcode.{ch}
into a standalone file for opcode operations. It also modifies the code
somewhat for coding style adherence, and adds some temporary variables for
increased readability.

The Integrator AP/CP can have a varying set of core modules, some
(like ARM920T) are so old that trying to read the TCM status register
with CP15 will make them hang. So we need to make sure that we are
running on v5 or later in order to be able to activate this for
the Integrator. (The Integrator with CM926EJ-S has 32+32 kb of TCM
memory.)

Now that there is a common way to reset the machine, let's use it
instead of reinventing the wheel in the kexec backend.

Sending IPI_CPU_STOP to a CPU causes it to execute a busy cpu_relax
loop forever. This makes it impossible to kexec successfully on an SMP
system since the secondary CPUs do not reset.
This patch adds a callback to platform_cpu_kill, defined when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, from the ipi_cpu_stop handling code. This function
currently just returns 1 on all platforms that define it but allows them
to do something more sophisticated in the future.

Tools such as kexec and CPU hotplug require a way to reset the processor
and branch to some code in physical space. This requires various bits of
jiggery pokery with the caches and MMU which, when it goes wrong, tends
to lock up the system.
This patch fleshes out the soft_restart implementation so that it
branches to the reset code using the identity mapping. This requires us
to change to a temporary stack, held within the kernel image as a static
array, to avoid conflicting with the new view of memory.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.
