2009-10-07Blackfin: mass clean up of copyright/licensing infoRobin Getz
Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in ./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up. It also removes: - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file) - file names (you are looking at the file) - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file) - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

2009-10-07Blackfin: convert to use arch_gettimeoffset()john stultz
Convert Blackfin to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to maintain. I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I wasn't able to check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great.

This patch fixes the m32r SMP kernel after 2.6.27.

The m32r SMP kernel hanged-up during boot operation, because the CPU_BOOT_IPI was called instead of CALL_FUNC_SINGLE_IPI (CPU_BOOT_IPI had no side effect at that time because the 2nd core had already been started up), as a result, csd_unlock() was not called, then a dead lock occurred in csd_lock_wait() after the detection of Compact Flash memory as IDE generic disk.

2009-10-02ARM: 5728/1: Proper prefetch abort handling on ARMv6 and ARMv7Kirill A. Shutemov
Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort processes as a translation fault. To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it accordingly. To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in both IFSR and DFSR. This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception type was received. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill@shutemov.name> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to provide status information about the last insturction fault. It needed for proper prefetch abort handling. Now we have three prefetch abort model: * legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault status for them to generalize code; * ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR; * ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console") introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel arguments. If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument and not as "serial" and then "ttyS". Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS directly without the "serial" argument.

2009-10-01x86: Don't generate cmpxchg8b_emu if CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64=yEric Dumazet
Conditionaly compile cmpxchg8b_emu.o and EXPORT_SYMBOL(cmpxchg8b_emu). This reduces the kernel size a bit.

2009-10-01x86: Fix csum_ipv6_magic asm memory clobberSamuel Thibault
Just like ip_fast_csum, the assembly snippet in csum_ipv6_magic needs a memory clobber, as it is only passed the address of the buffer, not a memory reference to the buffer itself. This caused failures in Hurd's pfinetv4 when we tried to compile it with gcc-4.3 (bogus checksums). Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> Acked-by: David S.

2009-10-01x86: Optimize cmpxchg64() at build-time some moreLinus Torvalds
Try to avoid the 'alternates()' code when we can statically determine that cmpxchg8b is fine. We already have that CONFIG_x86_CMPXCHG64 (enabled by PAE support), and we could easily also enable it for some of the CPU cases. Note, this patch only adds CMPXCHG8B for the obvious Intel CPU's, not for others. (There was something really messy about cmpxchg8b and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it carefully.) If we avoid that asm-alternative thing when we can assume the instruction exists, we'll generate less support crud, and we'll avoid the whole issue with that extra 'nop' for padding instruction sizes etc. LKML-Reference: <alpine.LFD.2.01.0909301743150.6996@localhost.localdomain> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
