Pull arm fixes from Russell King: "Not much here again. The two most notable things here are the sched_clock() fix, which was causing problems with the scheduling of threaded IRQs after a suspend event, and the vfp fix, which afaik has only been seen on some older OMAP boards. Nevertheless, both are fairly important fixes." * 'fixes' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm: ARM: 7569/1: mm: uninitialized warning corrections ARM: 7567/1: io: avoid GCC's offsettable addressing modes for halfword accesses ARM: 7566/1: vfp: fix save and restore when running on pre-VFPv3 and CONFIG_VFPv3 set ARM: 7565/1: sched: stop sched_clock() during suspend
2012-10-29ARM: 7565/1: sched: stop sched_clock() during suspendFelipe Balbi 2
The scheduler imposes a requirement to sched_clock() which is to stop the clock during suspend, if we don't do that any RT thread will be rescheduled in the future which might cause any sort of problems. This became an issue on OMAP when we converted omap-i2c.c to use threaded IRQs, it turned out that depending on how much time we spent on suspend, the I2C IRQ thread would end up being rescheduled so far in the future that I2C transfers would timeout and, because omap_hsmmc depends on an I2C-connected device to detect if an MMC card is inserted in the slot, our rootfs would just vanish. arch/arm/kernel/sched_clock.c already had an optional implementation (sched_clock_needs_suspend()) which would handle scheduler's requirement properly, what this patch does is simply to make that implementation non-optional. Note that this has the side-effect that printk timings won't reflect the actual time spent on suspend so other methods to measure that will have to be used. This has been tested with beagleboard XM (OMAP3630) and pandaboard rev A3 (OMAP4430). Suspend to RAM is now working after this patch. Thanks to Kevin Hilman for helping out with debugging.

2012-10-22ARM: 7559/1: smp: switch away from the idmap before updating init_mm.mm_countWill Deacon
When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page tables via the secondary_data struct: (1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm). (2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF section. The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to swapper as soon as it enters C code: struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm; unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id(); /* * All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a * reference and switch to it. */ atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count); current->active_mm = mm; cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm)); cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm); This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc. This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

2012-10-18ARM: 7556/1: perf: fix updated event period in response to PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIODWill Deacon
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD ioctl command can be used to change the sample period of a running perf_event. Consequently, when calculating the next event period, the new period will only be considered after the previous one has overflowed. This patch changes the calculation of the remaining event ticks so that they are offset if the period has changed.

In init/main.c, we issue: kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND); This creates a new thread, which falls through to the ret_from_fork assembly, with r4 set NULL and r5 set to kernel_init. You can see this in your oops dump register set - r5 is 0xc0344555, which is the address of kernel_init plus 1 which marks the function as Thumb code. Now, let's look at this code a little closer - this is what the disassembly looks like: c000d180 <ret_from_fork>: c000d180: f03a fe08 bl c0047d94 <schedule_tail> c000d184: 2d00 cmp r5, #0 c000d186: bf1e ittt ne c000d188: 4620 movne r0, r4 c000d18a: 46fe movne lr, pc <-- XXXXXXX c000d18c: 46af movne pc, r5 c000d18e: 46e9 mov r9, sp c000d190: ea4f 3959 mov.w r9, r9, lsr #13 c000d194: ea4f 3949 mov.w r9, r9, lsl #13 c000d198: e7c8 b.n c000d12c <ret_to_user> c000d19a: bf00 nop c000d19c: f3af 8000 nop.w This code was introduced in 9fff2fa0db911 (arm: switch to saner kernel_execve() semantics). I have marked one instruction, and it's the significant one - I'll come back to that later. Eventually, having had a successful call to kernel_execve(), kernel_init() returns zero. In returning, it uses the value in 'lr' which was set by the instruction I marked above. Unfortunately, this causes lr to contain 0xc000d18e - an even address. This switches the ISA to ARM on return but with a non word aligned PC value. So, what do we end up executing? Well, not the instructions above - yes the opcodes, but they don't mean the same thing in ARM mode. In ARM mode, it looks like this instead: c000d18c: 46e946af strbtmi r4, [r9], pc, lsr #13 c000d190: 3959ea4f ldmdbcc r9, {r0, r1, r2, r3, r6, r9, fp, sp, lr, pc}^ c000d194: 3949ea4f stmdbcc r9, {r0, r1, r2, r3, r6, r9, fp, sp, lr, pc}^ c000d198: bf00e7c8 svclt 0x0000e7c8 c000d19c: 8000f3af andhi pc, r0, pc, lsr #7 c000d1a0: e88db092 stm sp, {r1, r4, r7, ip, sp, pc} c000d1a4: 46e81fff ; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0x46e81fff c000d1a8: 8a00f3ef bhi 0xc004a16c c000d1ac: 0a0cf08a beq 0xc03493dc I have included more above, because it's relevant. The PSR flags which we can see in the oops dump are nZCv, so Z and C are set. All the above ARM instructions are not executed, except for two. c000d1a0, which has no writeback, and writes below the current stack pointer (and that data is lost when we take the next exception.) The other instruction which is executed is c000d1ac, which takes us to... 0xc03493dc. However, remember that bit 1 of the PC got set. So that makes the PC value 0xc03493de. And that value is the value we find in the oops dump for PC. What is the instruction here when interpreted in ARM mode? 0: f71e150c ; <UNDEFINED> instruction: 0xf71e150c and there we have our undefined instruction (remember that the 'never' condition code, 0xf, has been deprecated and is now always executed as it is now being used for additional instructions.) This path also nicely explains the state of the stack we see in the oops dump too. The above is a consistent and sane story for how we got to the oops dump, which all stems from the instruction at 0xc000d18a being wrong.

More platforms will be convered over in the next few releases. Two critical last things had to be done for this to be practical and possible: * Today each platform has its own include directory under mach-<mach>/include/mach/*, and traditionally that is where a lot of driver/platform shared definitions have gone, such as platform data structures. They now need to move out to a common location instead, and this branch moves a large number of those out to include/linux/platform_data. * Each platform used to list the device trees to compile for its boards in mach-<mach>/Makefile.boot.

2012-09-25ARM: kernel: update __cpu_disable to use cache LoUIS maintenance APILorenzo Pieralisi
When a CPU is hotplugged out caches that reside in its power domain lose their contents and so must be cleaned to the next memory level. Currently, __cpu_disable calls flush_cache_all() that for new generation processor like A15/A7 ends up cleaning and invalidating all cache levels up to Level of Coherency, which includes the unified L2. This ends up being a waste of cycles since the L2 cache contents are not lost on power down. This patch updates __cpu_disable to use the new LoUIS API cache operations.

2012-09-25ARM: kernel: update cpu_suspend code to use cache LoUIS operationsLorenzo Pieralisi
In processors like A15/A7 L2 cache is unified and integrated within the processor cache hierarchy, so that it is not considered an outer cache anymore. For processors like A15/A7 flush_cache_all() ends up cleaning all cache levels up to Level of Coherency (LoC) that includes the L2 unified cache. When a single CPU is suspended (CPU idle) a complete L2 clean is not required, so generic cpu_suspend code must clean the data cache using the newly introduced cache LoUIS function. The context and stack pointer (context pointer) are cleaned to main memory using cache area functions that operate on MVA and guarantee that the data is written back to main memory (perform cache cleaning up to the Point of Coherency - PoC) so that the processor can fetch the context when the MMU is off in the cpu_resume code path. outer_cache management remains unchanged.

To fix the warning, let's convert common clk users over to clk notifiers in place of CPUfreq notifiers. This works out nicely for Cortex-A9 MPcore designs that scale all CPUs at the same frequency. Platforms that have not been converted to the common clk framework and support CPUfreq will rely on the old mechanism. Once these platforms are converted over fully then we can remove the CPUfreq-specific bits for good.

2012-09-19ARM: zImage/virt: hyp mode entry support for the zImage loaderDave Martin
The zImage loader needs to turn on the MMU in order to take advantage of caching while decompressing the zImage. Running this in hyp mode would require the LPAE pagetable format to be supported; to avoid this complexity, this patch switches out of hyp mode, and returns back to hyp mode just before booting the kernel. This implementation assumes that the Hyp mode view of memory and the PL1 view of memory are coherent, providing that the MMU and caches are off in both, as required by the boot protocol. The zImage decompression code must drain the write buffer on completion anyway, and entry into Hyp mode should flush any prefetch buffer, avoiding hazards associated with local write buffers and the pipeline.

2012-09-19ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP modeDave Martin
This patch does two things: * Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry. The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces the damage window just in case it doesn't. * Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a another privileged mode such as hyp mode. This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization Extensions is built into the kernel.
