      ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUs · 247055aa
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and
      __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register.
      
      Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page
      tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the
      kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in
      the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and
      newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory.
      
      Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific
      functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel
      memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set
      to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to
      the LDR/STR ones.
      
      The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only
      access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still
      works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register
      (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page
      isn't possible.
      
      The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok()
      function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

      ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.c · 4260415f

      /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages:
      /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077'
      
      This is caused because:
      
      	.section .data
      	.section .text
      	.section .text
      	.previous
      
      does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this
      makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections
      is not known.
      
      Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are
      a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
