      ARM: mm: implement LoUIS API for cache maintenance ops · 031bd879
      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.

      arm: mm: fix DMA pool affiliation check · f3d87524
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      The __free_from_pool() function was changed in
      e9da6e99. Unfortunately, the test that
      checks whether the provided (start,size) is within the DMA pool has
      been improperly modified. It used to be:
      
        if (start < coherent_head.vm_start || end > coherent_head.vm_end)
      
      Where coherent_head.vm_end was non-inclusive (i.e, it did not include
      the first byte after the pool). The test has been changed to:
      
        if (start < pool->vaddr || start > pool->vaddr + pool->size)
      
      So now pool->vaddr + pool->size is inclusive (i.e, it includes the
      first byte after the pool), so the test should be >= instead of >.
      
      This bug causes the following message when freeing the *first* DMA
      coherent buffer that has been allocated, because its virtual address
      is exactly equal to pool->vaddr + pool->size :

      ARM: 7529/1: delay: set loops_per_jiffy when moving to timer-based loop · beafa0de
      Will Deacon 提交于
      The delay functions may be called by some platforms between switching to
      the timer-based delay loop but before calibration. In this case, the
      initial loops_per_jiffy may not be suitable for the timer (although a
      compromise may be achievable) and delay times may be considered too
      inaccurate.
      
      This patch updates loops_per_jiffy when switching to the timer-based
      delay loop so that delays are consistent prior to calibration.

      Will Deacon 提交于
      The user access functions may generate a fault, resulting in invocation
      of a handler that may sleep.
      
      This patch annotates the accessors with might_fault() so that we print a
      warning if they are invoked from atomic context and help lockdep keep
      track of mmap_sem.
