2013-04-03ARM: 7688/1: add support for context tracking subsystemKevin Hilman
commit 91d1aa43 (context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem) generalized parts of the RCU userspace extended quiescent state into the context tracking subsystem. Context tracking is then used to implement adaptive tickless (a.k.a extended nohz) To support the new context tracking subsystem on ARM, the user/kernel boundary transtions need to be instrumented. For exceptions and IRQs in usermode, the existing usr_entry macro is used to instrument the user->kernel transition. For the return to usermode path, the ret_to_user* path is instrumented. Using the usr_entry macro, this covers interrupts in userspace, data abort and prefetch abort exceptions in userspace as well as undefined exceptions in userspace (which is where FP emulation and VFP are handled.) For syscalls, the slow return path is covered by instrumenting the ret_to_user path. In addition, the syscall entry point is instrumented which covers the user->kernel transition for both fast and slow syscalls, and an additional instrumentation point is added for the fast syscall return path (ret_fast_syscall).

2013-04-03ARM: entry: move disable_irq_notrace into svc_exitRussell King
All svc exit paths need IRQs off. Rather than placing this before every user of svc_exit, combine it into this macro. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2013-04-03ARM: entry: move IRQ tracing exit into svc_exitRussell King
The IRQ tracing exit path is much the same between all SVC mode exits, so move this into the svc_exit macro. Use a macro parameter to identify the IRQ case, which is the only different case there is. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2011-07-13ARM: Thumb-2: Fix exception return sequence to restore stack correctlyJon Medhurst
The implementation of svc_exit didn't take into account any stack hole created by svc_entry; as happens with the undef handler when kprobes are configured. The fix is to read the saved value of SP rather than trying to calculate it. Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2011-07-02ARM: entry: avoid enabling interrupts in prefetch/data abort handlersRussell King
Avoid enabling interrupts if the parent context had interrupts enabled in the abort handler assembly code, and move this into the breakpoint/ page/alignment fault handlers instead. This gets rid of some special-casing for the breakpoint fault handlers from the low level abort handler path.

2011-02-02ARM: v6k: select clear exclusive code seqences according to V6 variantsRussell King
If CONFIG_CPU_V6 is enabled, then the kernel must support ARMv6 CPUs which don't have the V6K extensions implemented. Always use the dummy store-exclusive method to ensure that the exclusive monitors are cleared. If CONFIG_CPU_V6 is not set, but CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is enabled, then we have the K extensions available on all CPUs we're building support for, so we can use the new clear-exclusive instruction.

2010-12-06ARM: hw_breakpoint: disable preemption during debug exception handlingWill Deacon
On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts. One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read from the wrong registers. This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

2010-03-15ARM: 5991/1: Fix regression in restore_user_regs macroAnders Grafström
ARMv5T and earlier require that a ldm {}^ instruction is not followed by an instruction that accesses banked registers.

2009-10-14ARM: 5757/1: Thumb-2: Correct "mov.w pc, lr" instruction which is unpredictableCatalin Marinas
The 32-bit wide variant of "mov pc, reg" in Thumb-2 is unpredictable causing improper handling of the undefined instructions not caught by the kernel. This patch adds a movw_pc macro for such situations (currently only used in call_fpe).

2009-09-26make Linux bootable on ARM againNicolas Pitre
Commit 200b812d00 "Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exception" broke the vast majority of ARM systems in the wild which are still pre ARMv6. The kernel is crashing on the first occurrence of an exception due to the removal of the actual return instruction for them. Let's add it back.

2009-09-18Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exceptionCatalin Marinas
The patch adds a CLREX or dummy STREX to the exception return path. This is needed because several atomic/locking operations use a pair of LDREX/STREXEQ and the EQ condition may not always be satisfied. This would leave the exclusive monitor status set and may cause problems with atomic/locking operations in the interrupted code. With this patch, the atomic_set() operation can be a simple STR instruction (on SMP systems, the global exclusive monitor is cleared by STR anyway). Clearing the exclusive monitor during context switch is no longer needed as this is handled by the exception return path anyway.

2006-01-14[ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU ↵Nicolas Pitre
exception Patch from Nicolas Pitre The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions. We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function. If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data stack space remain multiples of 8.

2005-05-31[PATCH] ARM SMP: convert alignment enableRussell King
The current vector entry system does not allow for SMP. In order to work around this, we need to eliminate our reliance on the fixed save areas, which breaks the way we enable alignment traps. This patch makes the alignment trap enable code independent of the way we handle the save areas. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
