      ARM: Better virt_to_page() handling · e26a9e00
      Russell King 提交于
      virt_to_page() is incredibly inefficient when virt-to-phys patching is
      enabled.  This is because we end up with this calculation:
      
        page = &mem_map[asm virt_to_phys(addr) >> 12 - __pv_phys_offset >> 12]
      
      in assembly.  The asm virt_to_phys() is equivalent this this operation:
      
        addr - PAGE_OFFSET + __pv_phys_offset
      
      and we can see that because this is assembly, the compiler has no chance
      to optimise some of that away.  This should reduce down to:
      
        page = &mem_map[(addr - PAGE_OFFSET) >> 12]
      
      for the common cases.  Permit the compiler to make this optimisation by
      giving it more of the information it needs - do this by providing a
      virt_to_pfn() macro.
      
      Another issue which makes this more complex is that __pv_phys_offset is
      a 64-bit type on all platforms.  This is needlessly wasteful - if we
      store the physical offset as a PFN, we can save a lot of work having
      to deal with 64-bit values, which sometimes ends up producing incredibly
      horrid code:
      
           a4c:       e3009000        movw    r9, #0
                              a4c: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC  __pv_phys_offset
           a50:       e3409000        movt    r9, #0          ; r9 = &__pv_phys_offset
                              a50: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS     __pv_phys_offset
           a54:       e3002000        movw    r2, #0

                              a58: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS     __pv_phys_offset

      ARM: 7980/1: kernel: improve error message when LPAE config doesn't match CPU · b3634575
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      Currently, when the kernel is configured with LPAE support, but the
      CPU doesn't support it, the error message is fairly cryptic:
      
        Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant (0x561f5811).
      
      This messages is normally shown when there is an issue when comparing
      the processor ID (CP15 0, c0, c0) with the values/masks described in
      proc-v7.S. However, the same message is displayed when LPAE support is
      enabled in the kernel configuration, but not available in the CPU,
      after looking at ID_MMFR0 (CP15 0, c0, c1, 4). Having the same error
      message is highly misleading.
      
      This commit improves this by showing a different error message when
      this situation occurs:
      
        Error: Kernel with LPAE support, but CPU does not support LPAE.

      arch/arm/kernel/: use memblock apis for early memory allocations · 9233d2be
      Santosh Shilimkar 提交于
      Switch to memblock interfaces for early memory allocator instead of
      bootmem allocator.  No functional change in beahvior than what it is in
      current code from bootmem users points of view.
      
      Archs already converted to NO_BOOTMEM now directly use memblock
      interfaces instead of bootmem wrappers build on top of memblock.  And
      the archs which still uses bootmem, these new apis just fallback to
      exiting bootmem APIs.

      ARM: SMP implementations are not supposed to return from smp_ops.cpu_die() · 668bc386
      Russell King 提交于
      Although we allow recovery in this case, this is not supposed to be
      the normal path for hotplugging a CPU back in.  This path only exists
      to serve those rare platforms where it's not possible to power down
      the CPU or reset the CPU.  This patch causes the kernel to print a
      message when a platform uses this path.

      ARM: ignore memory below PHYS_OFFSET · 571b1437
      Russell King 提交于
      If the kernel is loaded higher in physical memory than normal, and we
      calculate PHYS_OFFSET higher than the start of RAM, this leads to
      boot problems as we attempt to map part of this RAM into userspace.
      Rather than struggle with this, just truncate the mapping.

      sched: Add new scheduler syscalls to support an extended scheduling parameters ABI · d50dde5a
      Dario Faggioli 提交于
      Add the syscalls needed for supporting scheduling algorithms
      with extended scheduling parameters (e.g., SCHED_DEADLINE).
      
      In general, it makes possible to specify a periodic/sporadic task,
      that executes for a given amount of runtime at each instance, and is
      scheduled according to the urgency of their own timing constraints,
      i.e.:
      
       - a (maximum/typical) instance execution time,
       - a minimum interval between consecutive instances,
       - a time constraint by which each instance must be completed.
      
      Thus, both the data structure that holds the scheduling parameters of
      the tasks and the system calls dealing with it must be extended.
      Unfortunately, modifying the existing struct sched_param would break
      the ABI and result in potentially serious compatibility issues with
      legacy binaries.
      
      For these reasons, this patch:
      
       - defines the new struct sched_attr, containing all the fields
         that are necessary for specifying a task in the computational
         model described above;
      
       - defines and implements the new scheduling related syscalls that
         manipulate it, i.e., sched_setattr() and sched_getattr().
      
      Syscalls are introduced for x86 (32 and 64 bits) and ARM only, as a
      proof of concept and for developing and testing purposes. Making them
      available on other architectures is straightforward.
      
      Since no "user" for these new parameters is introduced in this patch,
      the implementation of the new system calls is just identical to their
      already existing counterpart. Future patches that implement scheduling
      policies able to exploit the new data structure must also take care of
      modifying the sched_*attr() calls accordingly with their own purposes.

      Now with dma_mask series merged and max*pfn has consistent meaning on ARM
      as rest of the arch's thanks to RMK's mega series, lets switch ARM code
      to NO_BOOTMEM. With NO_BOOTMEM change, now we use memblock allocator to
      reserve space for crash kernel to have one less dependency with nobootmem
      allocator wrapper.
      
      Tested with both flat memory and sparse (faked) memory models with highmem
      enabled.
