Clearing bit 22 in the PL310 Auxiliary Control register (shared attribute override enable) has the side effect of transforming Normal Shared Non-cacheable reads into Cacheable no-allocate reads. Coherent DMA buffers in Linux always have a Cacheable alias via the kernel linear mapping and the processor can speculatively load cache lines into the PL310 controller. With bit 22 cleared, Non-cacheable reads would unexpectedly hit such cache lines leading to buffer corruption Signed-off-by: NSantosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@ti.com> Tested-by: NNishanth Menon <nm@ti.com> Signed-off-by: NTony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>

Enabling L2 prefetching improves performance as shown on Panda ES2.1 board with mem test, and it has measurable impact on performances. I think we should consider it, even though it damages "writes" a bit. (rebased to k.org) Usually the prefetch is used at both levels together L1 + L2, however, to enable the CP15 prefetch engines, these are under security, and on GP devices, we cannot enable it(e.g. on PandaBoard). However, just enabling PL310 prefetch seems to provide performance improvement, as shown in the data below (from Ubuntu) and would be a great thing to pull in. What prefetch does is enable automatic next line prefetching. With this enabled, whenever the PL310 receives a cachable read request, it automatically prefetches the following cache line as well.

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary. Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing cache operations. While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside the buffer.

Because the nwfpe support is unlikely to be used on new platforms and requires CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT, which is not generally used with ARMv7+, we shouldn't expect to build nwfpe support into a Thumb-2 kernel. At present, nwfpe contains assembly code which isn't Thumb-2 compatible, and for now it doesn't appear useful to port this code. All ARMv7-A/R platforms necessarily have VFPv3 hardware floating- point natively, making emulation unnecessary.

This makes sense, because Thumb-2 code can't execute on plain ARMv6 processors. This will avoid accidentally configuring a broken kernel where the config otherwise would allow multiple architecture versions to coexist in the same kernel. Not adding !CPU_V5 etc., because the chance of anyone trying to put v5 and v7 in the same kernel is low, and I'm not aware of any mach which can do this. These could be added later if it matters. Note that the rules may need to be refined if support for the ARM1156J(F)-S processor is later added to the kernel, since this processor supports the rare ARMv6T2 extensions, which add support for Thumb-2 and a few other ARMv7 features.

The current implementation of the v7_coherent_*_range function assumes that the D and I cache lines have the same size, which is incorrect architecturally. This patch adds the icache_line_size macro which reads the CTR register. The main loop in v7_coherent_*_range is split in two independent loops or the D and I caches. This also has the performance advantage that the DSB is moved outside the main loop.

commit 0d8e2d0d (OMAP2+: PM/serial: hold console semaphore while OMAP UARTs are disabled) added use of the console semaphore to protect UARTs from being accessed after disabled during idle, but this causes problems in suspend. During suspend, the console semaphore is acquired by the console suspend method (console_suspend()) so the try_acquire_console_sem() will always fail and suspend will be aborted. To fix, introduce a check so the console semaphore is only attempted during idle, and not during suspend. Also use the same check so that the console semaphore is not prematurely released during resume. Thanks to Paul Walmsley for suggesting adding the same check during resume.

Currently the {set,get}_pull callbacks of the s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default structure are initalized via s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1up. This results in a linker error when only CONFIG_CPU_S3C2442 is selected: arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/built-in.o:(.data+0x13f4): undefined reference to `s3c_gpio_getpull_1up' arch/arm/plat-s3c24xx/built-in.o:(.data+0x13f8): undefined reference to `s3c_gpio_setpull_1up' The s3c2442 has pulldowns instead of pullups compared to the s3c2440. The method of controlling them is the same though. So this patch modifies the existing s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1up helper functions to take an additional parameter deciding whether the pin has a pullup or pulldown. The s3c_gpio_{get,set}pull_1{down,up} functions then wrap that functions passing either S3C_GPIO_PULL_UP or S3C_GPIO_PULL_DOWN. Furthermore this patch sets up the s3c24xx_gpiocfg_default.{get,set}_pull fields in the s3c244{0,2}_map_io function to the new pulldown helper functions.

As a result, using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

The 32-bit conditional branches in Thumb-2 have a shorter range (+/-512K) than their ARM counterparts (+/-32MB). The linker does not currently generate trampolines to extend the range of these Thumb-2 conditional branches, resulting in link errors when vmlinux is sufficiently large, e.g.: head.o:(.text+0x464): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 This patch forces the longer-range, unconditional branch encoding by use of an explicit IT instruction.

The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a 32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a magic number, and a word containing the absolute entry point address. This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the size of the initial padding NOPs changes. Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring it to ARM. In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry point. As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so no special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the Thumb-2 case.
