      ARM: entry: provide uaccess assembly macro hooks · 2190fed6
      Russell King 提交于
      Provide hooks into the kernel entry and exit paths to permit control
      of userspace visibility to the kernel.  The intended use is:
      
      - on entry to kernel from user, uaccess_disable will be called to
        disable userspace visibility
      - on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to
        enable userspace visibility
      - on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be
        called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable
        access
      - on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to
        restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception
        occurred.
      
      These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the
      vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we
      want to explicitly access userspace.

      ARM: entry: get rid of multiple macro definitions · aa06e5c1
      Russell King 提交于
      The following structure is just asking for trouble:
      
       #ifdef CONFIG_symbol
      	.macro foo
      	...
      	.endm
      	.macro bar
      	...
      	.endm
      	.macro baz
      	...
      	.endm
       #else
      	.macro foo
      	...
      	.endm
      	.macro bar
      	...
      	.endm
       #ifdef CONFIG_symbol2
      	.macro baz
      	...
      	.endm
       #else
      	.macro baz
      	...
      	.endm
       #endif
       #endif
      
      such as one defintion being updated, but the other definitions miss out.
      Where the contents of a macro needs to be conditional, the hint is in
      the first clause of this very sentence.  "contents" "conditional".  Not
      multiple separate definitions, especially not when much of the macro
      is the same between different configs.
      
      This patch fixes this bad style, which had caused the Thumb2 code to
      miss-out on the uaccess updates.

      ARM: 8150/3: fiq: Replace default FIQ handler · c0e7f7ee
      Daniel Thompson 提交于
      This patch introduces a new default FIQ handler that is structured in a
      similar way to the existing ARM exception handler and result in the FIQ
      being handled by C code running on the SVC stack (despite this code run
      in the FIQ handler is subject to severe limitations with respect to
      locking making normal interaction with the kernel impossible).
      
      This default handler allows concepts that on x86 would be handled using
      NMIs to be realized on ARM.

          provided by Anton Vorontsov. Today only a couple of small fragments
          survive, however without Anton's work to build from this patch would
          not exist. Thanks also to Russell King for spoonfeeding me a variety

      ARM: 8129/1: errata: work around Cortex-A15 erratum 830321 using dummy strex · 2c32c65e
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may
      falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts
      during exception return and/or livelock.
      
      This patch resolves the issue in the following ways:
      
        - Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as
          we did for v6 CPUs).
      
        - Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives,
          since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when
          non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these).
      
      Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable
      performance difference with this change applied, so the change is
      performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.

      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: 7688/1: add support for context tracking subsystem · b0088480
      Kevin Hilman 提交于
      commit 91d1aa43 (context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem)
      generalized parts of the RCU userspace extended quiescent state into
      the context tracking subsystem.  Context tracking is then used
      to implement adaptive tickless (a.k.a extended nohz)
      
      To support the new context tracking subsystem on ARM, the user/kernel
      boundary transtions need to be instrumented.
      
      For exceptions and IRQs in usermode, the existing usr_entry macro is
      used to instrument the user->kernel transition.  For the return to
      usermode path, the ret_to_user* path is instrumented.  Using the
      usr_entry macro, this covers interrupts in userspace, data abort and
      prefetch abort exceptions in userspace as well as undefined exceptions
      in userspace (which is where FP emulation and VFP are handled.)
      
      For syscalls, the slow return path is covered by instrumenting the
      ret_to_user path.  In addition, the syscall entry point is
      instrumented which covers the user->kernel transition for both fast
      and slow syscalls, and an additional instrumentation point is added
      for the fast syscall return path (ret_fast_syscall).

      ARM: hw_breakpoint: disable preemption during debug exception handling · 7e202696
      Will Deacon 提交于
      On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts.
      One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked
      registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception
      code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario
      that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one
      that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read
      from the wrong registers.
      
      This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling
      code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If
      it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After
      the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

      Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exception · 200b812d
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      The patch adds a CLREX or dummy STREX to the exception return path. This
      is needed because several atomic/locking operations use a pair of
      LDREX/STREXEQ and the EQ condition may not always be satisfied. This
      would leave the exclusive monitor status set and may cause problems with
      atomic/locking operations in the interrupted code.
      
      With this patch, the atomic_set() operation can be a simple STR
      instruction (on SMP systems, the global exclusive monitor is cleared by
      STR anyway). Clearing the exclusive monitor during context switch is no
      longer needed as this is handled by the exception return path anyway.

      [PATCH] ARM SMP: convert alignment enable · 49f680ea
      Russell King 提交于
      The current vector entry system does not allow for SMP.  In
      order to work around this, we need to eliminate our reliance
