2009-05-28[ARM] Add cmpxchg support for ARMv6+ systems (v5)Mathieu Desnoyers
Add cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 support for ARMv6K and ARMv7 systems (original patch from Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>) The cmpxchg and cmpxchg64 functions can be implemented using the LDREX*/STREX* instructions. Since operand lengths other than 32bit are required, the full implementations are only available if the ARMv6K extensions are present (for the LDREXB, LDREXH and LDREXD instructions). For ARMv6, only 32-bits cmpxchg is available. Mathieu : Make cmpxchg_local always available with best implementation for all type sizes (1, 2, 4 bytes). Make cmpxchg64_local always available. Use "Ir" constraint for "old" operand, like atomic.h atomic_cmpxchg does. Change since v3 : - Add "memory" clobbers (thanks to Nicolas Pitre) - removed __asmeq(), only needed for old compilers, very unlikely on ARMv6+. Note : ARMv7-M should eventually be ifdefed-out of cmpxchg64. But it's not supported by the Linux kernel currently. Put back arm < v6 cmpxchg support.

2009-05-28[ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriersRussell King
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking: - cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM. - test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers. So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub operations which do not require barriers.

2009-03-19[ARM] pass reboot command line to arch_reset()Russell King
OMAP wishes to pass state to the boot loader upon reboot in order to instruct it whether to wait for USB-based reflashing or not. There is already a facility to do this via the reboot() syscall, except we ignore the string passed to machine_restart(). This patch fixes things to pass this string to arch_reset(). This means that we keep the reboot mode limited to telling the kernel _how_ to perform the reboot which should be independent of what we request the boot loader to do.

2008-11-06[ARM] mm: fix page table initializationRussell King
As a result of the ptebits changes, we ended up marking device mappings as normal memory on ARMv7 CPUs, resulting in undesirable behaviour with serial ports and the like. While reviewing the section mapping table entries, other errors in the memory type settings for devices were detected and confirmed to prevent Xscale3 platforms booting. Tested on: OMAP34xx (ARMv7), OMAP24xx (ARMv6), OMAP16xx (ARM926T, ARMv5), PXA311 (Xscale3), PXA272 (Xscale), PXA255 (Xscale), IXP42x (Xscale), S3C2410 (ARM920T, ARMv4T), ARM720T (ARMv4T) StrongARM-110 (ARMv4) Acked-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Tested-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Tested-by: Mike Rapoport <mike@compulab.co.il> Tested-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org> Tested-by: Anders Grafström <grfstrm@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-09-01[ARM] cputype: separate definitions, use themRussell King
Add asm/cputype.h, moving functions and definitions from asm/system.h there. Convert all users of 'processor_id' to the more efficient read_cpuid_id() function. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
