      ARM: 8477/1: runtime patch udiv/sdiv instructions into __aeabi_{u}idiv() · 42f25bdd
      Nicolas Pitre 提交于
      The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
      __aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
      unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the sdiv and
      udiv instructions, the kernel may overwrite the beginning of those
      functions with those instructions and a "bx lr" to get better
      performance.
      
      To ensure that those functions are aligned to a 32-bit word for easier
      patching (which might not always be the case in Thumb mode) and that
      the two patched instructions end up in the same cache line, a 8-byte
      alignment is enforced when ARM_PATCH_IDIV is selected.
      
      This was heavily inspired by a previous patch from Stephen Boyd.

      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.

      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!
