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.

This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150 On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was called.

Patch from Thomas Gleixner From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Switch the ARM irq core handling to the generic implementation. The ARM specific header files now contain mostly migration stubs and helper macros. Note that each machine type must be converted after this step seperately. This was seperated out from the patch for easier review. The main changes for the machine type code is the conversion of the type handlers to a 'type flow' and 'chip' model. This affects only the multiplex interrupt handlers. A conversion macro needs to be added to those implementations, which defines the data structure which is registered by the set_irq_chained_handler() macro. Some minor fixups of include files and the conversion of data structure access is necessary all over the place. The mostly macro based conversion was provided to allow an easy migration of the existing implementations. The code compiles on all defconfigs available in arch/arm/configs except those which were broken also before applying the conversion patches. The code has been boot and runtime tested on most ARM platforms.

Patch from Catalin Marinas If the low interrupt latency mode is enabled for the CPU (from ARMv6 onwards), the ldm/stm instructions are no longer atomic. An ldm instruction restoring the sp and pc registers can be interrupted immediately after sp was updated but before the pc. If this happens, the CPU restores the base register to the value before the ldm instruction but if the base register is not sp, the interrupt routine will corrupt the stack and the restarted ldm instruction will load garbage. Note that future ARM cores might always run in the low interrupt latency mode. Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

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!
