2009-05-30Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endianCatalin Marinas
Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian (byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support: - setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and user threads - big-endian page table walking - REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault processing as they are still little-endian format - Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to little-endian Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-04-01[ARM] 5439/1: Do not clear bit 10 of DFSR during abort handling on ARMv6Catalin Marinas
Because of an ARM1136 erratum (326103), the current v6_early_abort function needs to set the correct FSR[11] value which determines whether the data abort was caused by a read or write. For legacy reasons (bit 10 not handled by software), bit 10 was also cleared masking out imprecise aborts on ARMv6 CPUs. This patch removes the clearing of bit 10 of FSR.

2009-03-03[ARM] 5416/1: Use unused address in v6_early_abortSeth Forshee
The target of the strex instruction to clear the exlusive monitor is currently the top of the stack. If the store succeeeds this corrupts r0 in pt_regs. Use the next stack location instead of the current one to prevent any chance of corrupting an in-use address.

2006-02-22[ARM] CONFIG_CPU_MPCORE -> CONFIG_CPU_32v6KRussell King
CONFIG_CPU_MPCORE has never been a configuration symbol - it should be CONFIG_CPU_32v6K. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-10-02[ARM] 2943/1: Clear the exclusive monitor in v6_early_abortCatalin Marinas
Patch from Catalin Marinas Data abort caused by ldrex/strex can leave the exclusive monitor in an unpredictable state. It is recommended that a clrex/strex is performed to clear this state.

2005-04-29[PATCH] ARM: 2655/1: ARM1136 SWP instruction abort handler fixGeorge G. Davis
Patch from George G. Davis As noted in http://www.arm.com/linux/patch-2.6.9-arm1.gz, the "Faulty SWP instruction on 1136 doesn't set bit 11 in DFSR." So the v6_early_abort handler does not report the correct rd/wr direction for the SWP instruction which may result in SEGVS or hangs. In order to work around this problem, this patch merely updates the fix contained in the ARM Ltd. patch to use the macroised abort handler fixups. Signed-off-by: George G.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
