The hardware page tables use an XN bit 'execute never'. Historically, we've had a Linux 'execute allow' bit, in the positive sense. Get rid of this artifact as future hardware will continue to have the XN sense. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking it away, along with the other control bits. This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result, using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL). This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned, this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in some circumstances. In general, the following rules should be applied when using data word declaration directives inside code sections: * .quad and .double: .align 3 * .long, .word, .single, .float: .align (or .align 2) * .short: No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2 instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size. immediately after an instruction. In this specific case, we can achieve the desired alignment by forcing a 32-bit branch instruction using the W() macro, since the assembler location counter is already 32-bit aligned in this case.

The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture, superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control Register SW bit. This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to /proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when user RO.

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.

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have, so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite parts of the kernel. Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions, thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values, and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin() implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having caches still enabled.) This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support code.

The comments in arm_machine_restart() suggest that cpu_proc_fin() will clean and disable cache and turn off interrupts. This does not seem to be implemented for proc-v7.S, implement it the same way as for proc-v6.S. This also makes kexec work for v7. Note that a related TLB and branch traget flush patch is also needed to avoid kexec "crc error". Note that there are still some issues that seem to be related to L2 cache being on and causing occasional uncompress "crc error" with kexec. Anyways, this gets kexec mostly working on V7 for now.

Mapping the same memory using two different attributes (memory type, shareability, cacheability) is unpredictable. During boot, we encounter a situation when we're updating the kernel's page tables which can lead to dirty cache lines existing in the cache which are subsequently missed. This causes stack corruption, and therefore a crash. Therefore, ensure that the shared and cacheability settings matches the configuration that will be used later; this together with the restriction in early_cachepolicy() ensures that we won't create a mismatch during boot.

Currently, whenever an erratum workaround is enabled, it will be applied whether or not the erratum is relevent for the CPU. This patch changes this - we check the variant and revision fields in the main ID register to determine which errata to apply. We also avoid re-applying erratum 460075 if it has already been applied. Applying this fix in non-secure mode results in the kernel failing to boot (or even do anything.) This fixes booting on some ARMv7 based platforms which otherwise silently fail.
