Michael Olbrich reported that his test program fails when built with -O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon, and a kernel which supports v6 and v7 CPUs: volatile int x = 2; volatile int64_t y = 2; int main() { volatile int a = 0; volatile int64_t b = 0; while (1) { a = (a + x) % (1 << 30); b = (b + y) % (1 << 30); assert(a == b); } } and two instances are run. When built for just v7 CPUs, this program works fine. It uses the "vadd.i64 d19, d18, d16" VFP instruction. It appears that we do not save the high-16 double VFP registers across context switches when the kernel is built for v6 CPUs. Fix that.

It appears that performing a "movs pc, lr" to force the kernel into SVC mode on the OMAP2420 (ARM1136) prevents the platform from booting correctly (change introduced in 80c59daf [ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP mode]). While the reason it fails is not understood yet (the same code runs fine on the OMAP2430, ARM1136 as well), partially revert that change for platforms that do not enter in HYP mode, preserving the new feature and restoring a working kernel on the OMAP2420.

The syscall tracing patch introduces a compile bug in lttng-modules when the latter calls syscall_get_nr(), similar to the following: <path-to-linux>/arch/arm/include/asm/syscall.h:21:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'task_thread_info' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] The issue is that we are using task_thread_info() in the syscall_get_nr() function in asm/syscall.h, but not explicitly including sched.h from this file, so we can expect this bug might surface any time that syscall_get_nr() is called. Explicitly including sched.h solves the problem.

... no need to read current_thread_info()->task only to feed it to task_thread_page() immediately afterwards. Moreover, not using current_thread_info() at all ends up with better assembler - we need a location very close to the top of kernel stack page and it's actually better to do or with 0x1fff, followed be subtracting a small constant than and with ~0x1fff, followed by adding a large one.

The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up and ticking as long as the CPUs are online). This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer (which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

由 Lorenzo Pieralisi 提交于
ARM v7 architecture introduced the concept of cache levels and related control registers. New processors like A7 and A15 embed an L2 unified cache controller that becomes part of the cache level hierarchy. Some operations in the kernel like cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable do not require a flush of the entire cache hierarchy to DRAM but just the cache levels belonging to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS), which in most of ARM v7 systems correspond to L1. The current cache flushing API used in cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable, flush_cache_all(), ends up flushing the whole cache hierarchy since for v7 it cleans and invalidates all cache levels up to Level of Coherency (LoC) which cripples system performance when used in hot paths like hotplug and cpuidle. Therefore a new kernel cache maintenance API must be added to cope with latest ARM system requirements. This patch adds flush_cache_louis() to the ARM kernel cache maintenance API. This function cleans and invalidates all data cache levels up to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS) and invalidates the instruction cache for processors that support it (> v7). This patch also creates an alias of the cache LoUIS function to flush_kern_all for all processor versions prior to v7, so that the current cache flushing behaviour is unchanged for those processors. v7 cache maintenance code implements a cache LoUIS function that cleans and invalidates the D-cache up to LoUIS and invalidates the I-cache, according to the new API.

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.

This patch adds some __inst_() macros for injecting custom opcodes in assembler (both inline and in .S files). They should make it easier and cleaner to get things right in little-/big- endian/ARM/Thumb-2 kernels without a lot of #ifdefs. This pure-preprocessor approach is preferred over the alternative method of wedging extra assembler directives into the assembler input using top-level asm() blocks, since there is no way to guarantee that the compiler won't reorder those with respect to each other or with respect to non-toplevel asm() blocks, unless -fno-toplevel-reorder is passed (which is in itself somewhat undesirable because it defeats some potential optimisations). Currently <asm/unified.h> _does_ silently rely on the compiler not reordering at the top level, but it seems better to avoid adding extra code which depends on this if the same result can be achieved in another way.

Most of the existing macros don't work with assembler, due to the use of type casts and C functions from <linux/swab.h>. This patch abstracts out those operations and provides simple explicit versions for use in assembly code. __opcode_is_thumb32() and __opcode_is_thumb16() are also converted to do bitmask-based testing to avoid confusion if these are used in assembly code (the assembler typically treats all arithmetic values as signed). These changes avoid the need for the compiler to pre-evaluate constant expressions used to generate opcodes. By ensuring that the forms of these expressions can be evaluated directly by the assembler, we can just stringify the expressions directly into the asm during the preprocessing pass. The alternative approach (passing the evaluated expression via an inline asm "i" constraint) gets painful because the contents of the asm and the constraints must be kept in sync. This makes the resulting macros awkward to use. Retaining the C forms of the macros allows more efficient code to be generated when opcodes are generated programmatically at run- time, but there is no way to embed run-time-generated opcodes in asm() blocks.

The existing __mem_to_opcode_thumb32() is incorrect for BE32 platforms. However, these don't support Thumb-2 kernels, so this option is not so relevant for those platforms anyway. This operation is complicated by the lack of unaligned memory access support prior to ARMv6. Rather than provide a "working" macro which will probably won't get used (or worse, will get misused), this patch removes the macro for BE32 kernels. People manipulating Thumb opcodes prior to ARMv6 should almost certainly be splitting these operations into halfwords anyway, using __opcode_thumb32_{first,second,compose}() and the 16-bit opcode transformations.

This lets us build a multiplatform kernel for experimental purposes. However, it will not be useful for any real work, because it relies on a number of useful things to be disabled for now: * SMP support must be turned off because of conflicting symbols. Marc Zyngier has proposed a solution by adding a new SOC operations structure to hold indirect function pointers for these, but that work is currently stalled * We turn on SPARSE_IRQ unconditionally, which is not supported on most platforms. Each of them is currently in a different state, but most are being worked on. * A common clock framework is in place since v3.4 but not yet being used. Work on this is on its way. * DEBUG_LL for early debugging is currently disabled. * THUMB2_KERNEL does not work with allyesconfig because the kernel gets too big [Rob Herring]: Rebased to not be dependent on the mass mach header rename.

This adds a 'struct smp_operations' to abstract the CPU initialization and hot plugging functions on SMP systems, which otherwise conflict in a multiplatform kernel. This also helps shmobile and potentially others that have more than one method to do these. To allow the kernel to continue building, the platform hooks are defined as weak symbols which are overrided by the platform code. Once all platforms are converted, the "weak" attribute will be removed and the function made static. Unlike the original version from Marc, this new version from Arnd does not use a generalized abstraction for per-soc data structures but only tries to solve the problem for the SMP operations. This way, we can collapse the previous four data structures into a single struct, which is less systematic but also easier to follow as a causal reader.
