      [ARM] rationalize memory configuration code some more · 4b5f32ce
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      Currently there are two instances of struct meminfo: one in
      kernel/setup.c marked __initdata, and another in mm/init.c with
      permanent storage.  Let's keep only the later to directly populate
      the permanent version from arm_add_memory().
      
      Also move common validation tests between the MMU and non-MMU cases
      into arm_add_memory() to remove some duplication.  Protection against
      overflowing the membank array is also moved in there in order to cover
      the kernel cmdline parsing path as well.

      [ARM] fix naming of MODULE_START / MODULE_END · ab4f2ee1
      Russell King 提交于
      As of 73bdf0a6, the kernel needs
      to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
      On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
      Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
      Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
      can work properly.  Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
      reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
      vmalloc space.

      kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping · d7161a65
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
      if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
      system call.
      
      First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
      it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
      any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
      exception.
      
      On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
      inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
      core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
      kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
      allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
      happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.

      [ARM] Introduce new bitmask based cache type macros · c0e95878
      Russell King 提交于
      Rather than trying to (inaccurately) decode the cache type from the
      registers each time we need to decide what type of cache we have,
      use a bitmask initialized early during boot.
      
      Since the setup is a one-off initialization, we can be a little more
      clever and take account of the CPU architecture as well.
      
      Note that we continue to achieve the compactness on optimised kernels
      by forcing tests to always-false or always-true as appropriate, thereby
      allowing the compiler to do build-time code elimination.

      [ARM] Remove cache type printks · 90f1e084
      Russell King 提交于
      The cache type register found in ARMv5 and later CPUs changes format
      and meaning depending on the CPU architecture version.  Currently,
      this code:
      a) doesn't work for everything - Xscale's are identified as
         'unknown 5'.
      b) is not able to tell whether the caches are VIVT or VIPT from the
         cache type.
      c) prints rubbish on some ARMv6 and ARMv7+ CPUs.
      
      The two solutions to this are:
      1. Add yet more code to decode and print the various different register
         formats.
      2. Remove the code altogther.
      
      The code only exists to decode and print the cache parameters.
      Increasing the complexity of it just for the sake of a few prinks
      isn't worth it.

      kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier · e545a614
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
      cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
      Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
      by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
      
      The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
      that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
      
      Tested on x86-64.
      All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
      it right.

      [ARM] prevent crashing when too much RAM installed · 60296c71
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      This patch will truncate and/or ignore memory banks if their kernel
      direct mappings would (partially) overlap with the vmalloc area or
      the mappings between the vmalloc area and the address space top, to
      prevent crashing during early boot if there happens to be more RAM
      installed than we are expecting.
      
      Since the start of the vmalloc area is not at a fixed address (but
      the vmalloc end address is, via the per-platform VMALLOC_END define),
      a default area of 128M is reserved for vmalloc mappings, which can
      be shrunk or enlarged by passing an appropriate vmalloc= command line
      option as it is done on x86.
      
      On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe000000,
      two 512M RAM banks and vmalloc=128M (the default), this patch gives:
      
      	Truncating RAM at 20000000-3fffffff to -35ffffff (vmalloc region overlap).
      	Memory: 512MB 352MB = 864MB total
      
      On a board with a 3:1 user:kernel split, VMALLOC_END at 0xfe800000,
      two 256M RAM banks and vmalloc=768M, this patch gives:
      
      	Truncating RAM at 00000000-0fffffff to -0e7fffff (vmalloc region overlap).
      	Ignoring RAM at 10000000-1fffffff (vmalloc region overlap).
