Use cpu compatibility field and clock-frequency field of DT to estimate the capacity of each core of the system and to update the cpu_power field accordingly. This patch enables to put more running tasks on big cores than on LITTLE ones. But this patch doesn't ensure that long running tasks will run on big cores and short ones on LITTLE cores.

The syscall_trace on ARM takes a `why' parameter to indicate whether or not we are entering or exiting a system call. This can be confusing for people looking at the code since (a) it conflicts with the why register alias in the entry assembly code and (b) it is not immediately clear what it represents. This patch splits up the syscall_trace function into separate wrappers for syscall entry and exit, allowing the low-level syscall handling code to branch to the appropriate function.

When auditing system calls on ARM, the audit code is called before notifying the parent process in the case that the current task is being ptraced. At this point, the parent (debugger) may choose to change the system call being issued via the SET_SYSCALL ptrace request, causing the wrong system call to be reported to the audit tools. This patch moves the audit calls after the ptrace SIGTRAP handling code in the syscall tracing implementation.

ret_from_fork is setup for a freshly spawned child task via copy_thread, called from copy_process. The latter function clears TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE and also resets the child task's audit_context to NULL, meaning that there is little point invoking the system call tracing routines. Furthermore, getting hold of the syscall number is a complete pain and it looks like the current code doesn't even bother. This patch removes the syscall tracing checks from ret_from_fork.

This patch allows a timer-based delay implementation to be selected by switching the delay routines over to use get_cycles, which is implemented in terms of read_current_timer. This further allows us to skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the face of core frequency scaling. To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C, the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay functions directly.

This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for ARM using the same algorithm as x86. We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.

In order to provide PMU name strings compatible with the OProfile user ABI, an enumeration of all PMUs is currently used by perf to identify each PMU uniquely. Unfortunately, this does not scale well in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace across all PMUs in the system. This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.

When a CPU is shutdown its architected timer comparators registers are lost. Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter clock events broadcast mode through the clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid); function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer. On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting broadcast mode through clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid); In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the CPU is in off-mode.

Robustify ARM's die() handling with improvements from x86: - Fix for a deadlock (before panic in the case of panic_on_oops) if we oops under a spinlock which is also used from interrupt handler, since the old code was unconditionally enabling interrupts. - Usage of arch spinlock so lockdep etc doesn't get involved while we're trying to dump out oopses. - Deadlock prevention in the unlikely event that die() recurses. The changes all touch the same few lines of code, so they're done together in one patch.

'sub pc, pc, #1b-2b+8-2' results in address<1:0> == '10'. sub pc, pc, #const (== ADR pc, #const) performs an interworking branch (BXWritePC()) on ARMv7+ and a simple branch (BranchWritePC()) on earlier versions. In ARM state, BXWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE when address<1:0> == '10'. In ARM state on ARMv6+, BranchWritePC() ignores address<1:0>. Before ARMv6, BranchWritePC() is UNPREDICTABLE if address<1:0> != '00' So the instruction is UNPREDICTABLE both before and after v6.

This reverts commit 6b5c8045. Conflicts: arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c The new syscall restarting code can lead to problems if we take an interrupt in userspace just before restarting the svc instruction. If a signal is delivered when returning from the interrupt, the TIF_SYSCALL_RESTARTSYS will remain set and cause any syscalls executed from the signal handler to be treated as a restart of the previously interrupted system call. This includes the final sigreturn call, meaning that we may fail to exit from the signal context. Furthermore, if a system call made from the signal handler requires a restart via the restart_block, it is possible to clear the thread flag and fail to restart the originally interrupted system call. The right solution to this problem is to perform the restarting in the kernel, avoiding the possibility of handling a further signal before the restart is complete. Since we're almost at -rc6, let's revert the new method for now and aim for in-kernel restarting at a later date.

ARM builds seem to be plagued by an occasional build error: Inconsistent kallsyms data This is a bug - please report about it Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround The problem has to do with alignment of some sections by the linker. The kallsyms data is built in two passes by first linking the kernel without it, and then linking the kernel again with the symbols included. Normally, this just shifts the symbols, without changing their order, and the compression used by the kallsyms gives the same result. On non SMP, the per CPU data is empty. Depending on the where the alignment ends up, it can come out as either: +-------------------+ | last text segment | +-------------------+ /* padding */ +-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt | per cpu (empty) | +-------------------+ __per_cpu_end: /* padding */ __data_loc: +-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment | data | +-------------------+ or +-------------------+ | last text segment | +-------------------+ /* padding */ +-------------------+ <- L1_CACHE_BYTES alignemnt | per cpu (empty) | +-------------------+ __per_cpu_end: /* no padding */ __data_loc: +-------------------+ <- THREAD_SIZE alignment | data | +-------------------+ if the alignment satisfies both. Because symbols that have the same address are sorted by 'nm -n', the second case will be in a different order than the first case. This changes the compression, changing the size of the kallsym data, causing the build failure. The KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 workaround usually works, but it is still possible to have the alignment change between the second and third pass. It's probably even possible for it to never reach a fixedpoint. The problem only occurs on non-SMP, when the per-cpu data is empty, and when the data segment has alignment (and immediately follows the text segments). Fix this by only including the per_cpu section on SMP, when it is not empty. Signed-off-by: NDavid Brown <davidb@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number + siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one, signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() - take one).

This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board initialisation). Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping is updated to to match requested memory access type. GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on allocation time. CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.
