      ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+ · 6ebbf2ce
      Russell King 提交于
      ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
      to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
      "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
      and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
      architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
      
      We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
      code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
      
      Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
      the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
      the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
      the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
      of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

      arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM users · 8bd26e3a
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
      some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
      do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
      commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
      is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
      with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
      
      After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
      the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
      we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
      
      Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
      notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
      and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
      the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
      As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
      related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
      rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
      
      This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
      and all __CPUINIT from assembly code.  It also had two ".previous"
      section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
      (aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

      ARM: Factor out common code from cpu_proc_fin() · 9ca03a21
      Russell King 提交于
      All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts
      and then flush caches.  Rather than have every processors proc_fin()
      implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the
      cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having
      caches still enabled.)
      
      This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache
      types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support
      code.
