2010-01-19ARM: 5884/1: arm: Fix DCC console for v7Tony Lindgren
Without this patch arch/arm/compressed/head.S defaults to generic DCC code that does not work for v7. For more information on the v7 DCC, see Cortex-A8 TRM "12.11.1 Debug communications channel". To use it with post 2.6.33-rc1 or later, you need to have: CONFIG_DEBUG_LL=y ONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC=y CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y Earlier kernels need commit 93fd03a8c6728b58879f8af20ffd55d9c32a778b backported.

2010-01-18ARM: 5883/1: Revert "disable NX support for OABI-supporting kernels"Rabin Vincent
This reverts commit 14f0aa359365e8a93a77b71e3b840274b9b4dcb1. That commit was needed earlier because system call restarting for OABI (compat) required an executable stack and thus had problems with NX. Since ab72b00734ae4d0b ("ARM: Fix signal restart issues with NX and OABI compat") has reworked the code to not require an executable stack anymore, we can re-enable NX support for kernels with OABI (compat) support.

2009-12-15ARM: unexport symbols used to implement floating point emulationAlan Jenkins
The Kconfigs for in-tree floating point emulation do not allow building as modules. That leaves the Acorn FPEmulator module. I found two public releases of this as a binary module for 2.1 and 2.2 kernels, optimized for ARMV4.[1] If there is a resurgence of interest in this, the symbols can always be re-exported. This allows the EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() hack to be removed. The ulterior motive here is that EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS() makes it harder to sort the resulting kernel symbol tables. Sorted symbol tables will allow faster symbol resolution during module loading. Note that fp_send_sigs() and fp_printk() are simply aliases for existing exports and add no obvious value. Similarly fp_enter could easily be renamed to kern_fp_enter at the point of definition. Therefore removing EXPORT_SYMBOL_ALIAS will not serve as a material obstacle to re-adding the exports should they be desired in future. Build tested only.

2009-12-15ARM: use unified discard definition in linker scriptAlan Jenkins
Commit 023bf6f "linker script: unify usage of discard definition" changed the linker scripts for all architectures except for ARM. I can find no discussion about this ommision, so here are the changes for ARM. These changes are exactly parallel to the ia64 case. "ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion." Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated an identical vmlinux file. [I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition. I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux, _and discard the original unsorted tables_. This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.] Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by-without-testing: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-11-12sysctl arm: Remove binary sysctl supportEric W. Biederman
Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys .ctl_name and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code. Remove them. Remove a smattering of ctl_names used in sysctl paths, and kill the ctl_names in the recently added mach-bcmring. mach-bcmring never should have had sysctl entries with .ctl_name set. The binary sysctl interface has been frozen for a long time before that code was merged, to prevent probmes with conflicts and lack of testing. The sysctl_check code would have caught this if anyone had ever tested it that way. So I have simply dropped the binary sysctl support instead of adding another compat entry into sysctl_binary.c.

2009-10-13net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscallArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and net stack entry/exit operations. Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.

do_cache_op() uses find_vma() to validate its arguments without holding any locking. This means that the VMA could vanish beneath us. Fix this by taking a read lock on mmap_sem. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-09-28ARM: Fix __cpuexit section mismatch warningsRussell King
Fix: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x247c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_idle() to the function .cpuexit.text:cpu_die() The function cpu_idle() references a function in an exit section. Often the function cpu_die() has valid usage outside the exit section and the fix is to remove the __cpuexit annotation of cpu_die. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuexit.text+0x3c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel() The function __cpuexit cpu_die() references a function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel(). This is often seen when error handling in the exit function uses functionality in the init path. The fix is often to remove the __cpuinit annotation of secondary_start_kernel() so it may be used outside an init section. Sam says: > The annotation of cpu_die() is wrong. > To be annotated __cpuexit the function shall: > - be used in exit context and only in exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=n > - be used outside exit context with HOTPLUG_CPU=y So, this also means __cpu_disable(), __cpu_die() and twd_timer_stop() are also wrong. However, removing __cpuexit from cpu_die() creates: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x6834): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_die() to the function .cpuinit.text:secondary_start_kernel() The function cpu_die() references the function __cpuinit secondary_start_kernel(). This is often because cpu_die lacks a __cpuinit annotation or the annotation of secondary_start_kernel is wrong. so fix this using __ref.

2009-09-28ARM: Don't allow highmem on SMP platforms without h/w TLB ops broadcastRussell King
We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult: - we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence - this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled - kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear out old mappings - flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many() - smp_call_function_many() must not be called with IRQs disabled: WARNING: at kernel/smp.c:380 smp_call_function_many+0xc4/0x240() Modules linked in: Backtrace: [<c00306f0>] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x108) from [<c0286e6c>] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) r6:c007cd18 r5:c02ff228 r4:0000017c [<c0286e54>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<c0053e08>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x50/0x80) [<c0053db8>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x0/0x80) from [<c0053e50>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x1c) r7:00000003 r6:00000001 r5:c1ff4000 r4:c035fa34 [<c0053e38>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x0/0x1c) from [<c007cd18>] (smp_call_function_many+0xc4/0x240) [<c007cc54>] (smp_call_function_many+0x0/0x240) from [<c007cec0>] (smp_call_function+0x2c/0x38) [<c007ce94>] (smp_call_function+0x0/0x38) from [<c005980c>] (on_each_cpu+0x1c/0x38) [<c00597f0>] (on_each_cpu+0x0/0x38) from [<c0031788>] (flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x50/0x58) r6:00000001 r5:00000800 r4:c05f3590 [<c0031738>] (flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x0/0x58) from [<c009c600>] (flush_all_zero_pkmaps+0xc0/0xe8) [<c009c540>] (flush_all_zero_pkmaps+0x0/0xe8) from [<c009c6b4>] (kmap_high+0x8c/0x1e0) [<c009c628>] (kmap_high+0x0/0x1e0) from [<c00364a8>] (kmap+0x44/0x5c) [<c0036464>] (kmap+0x0/0x5c) from [<c0109dfc>] (cramfs_readpage+0x3c/0x194) [<c0109dc0>] (cramfs_readpage+0x0/0x194) from [<c0090c14>] (__do_page_cache_readahead+0x1f0/0x290) [<c0090a24>] (__do_page_cache_readahead+0x0/0x290) from [<c0090ce4>] (ra_submit+0x30/0x38) [<c0090cb4>] (ra_submit+0x0/0x38) from [<c0089384>] (filemap_fault+0x3dc/0x438) r4:c1819988 [<c0088fa8>] (filemap_fault+0x0/0x438) from [<c009d21c>] (__do_fault+0x58/0x43c) [<c009d1c4>] (__do_fault+0x0/0x43c) from [<c009e8cc>] (handle_mm_fault+0x104/0x318) [<c009e7c8>] (handle_mm_fault+0x0/0x318) from [<c0033c98>] (do_page_fault+0x188/0x1e4) [<c0033b10>] (do_page_fault+0x0/0x1e4) from [<c0033ddc>] (do_translation_fault+0x7c/0x84) [<c0033d60>] (do_translation_fault+0x0/0x84) from [<c002b474>] (do_DataAbort+0x40/0xa4) r8:c1ff5e20 r7:c0340120 r6:00000805 r5:c1ff5e54 r4:c03400d0 [<c002b434>] (do_DataAbort+0x0/0xa4) from [<c002bcac>] (__dabt_svc+0x4c/0x60) ...

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.
