2008-02-08aout: suppress A.OUT library support if !CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUTDavid Howells
Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set. Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either. To make this work, this patch also does the following: (1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. (2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT core dumping code. (3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than the core kernel. (4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not needed) and FRV. This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT format is available.

2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch adds dummy local timers for each CPU so that the board clock device is used to broadcast events to the other CPUs. The patch also adds the declaration for the dummy_timer_setup function (the equivalent of local_timer_setup when CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS is not set). Due to the way clockevents work, the dummy timer on the first CPU has to be registered before the board timer.

2008-02-04[ARM] 4736/1: Export atags to userspace and allow kexec to use customised atagsRichard Purdie
Currently, the atags used by kexec are fixed to the ones originally used to boot the kernel. This is less than ideal as changing the commandline, initrd and other options would be a useful feature. This patch exports the atags used for the current kernel to userspace through an "atags" file in procfs. The presence of the file is controlled by its own Kconfig option and cleans up several ifdef blocks into a separate file. The tags for the new kernel are assumed to be at a fixed location before the kernel image itself. The location of the tags used to boot the original kernel is unimportant and no longer saved.

2008-01-26ARM kprobes: don't let a single-stepped stmdb corrupt the exception stackNicolas Pitre
If kprobes installs a breakpoint on a "stmdb sp!, {...}" instruction, and then single-step it by simulation from the exception context, it will corrupt the saved regs on the stack from the previous context. To avoid this, let's add an optional parameter to the svc_entry macro allowing for a hole to be created on the stack before saving the interrupted context, and use it in the undef_svc handler when kprobes is enabled.

2008-01-26ARM kprobes: core codeAbhishek Sagar
This is a full implementation of Kprobes including Jprobes and Kretprobes support. This ARM implementation does not follow the usual kprobes double- exception model. The traditional model is where the initial kprobes breakpoint calls kprobe_handler(), which returns from exception to execute the instruction in its original context, then immediately re-enters after a second breakpoint (or single-stepping exception) into post_kprobe_handler(), each time the probe is hit.. The ARM implementation only executes one kprobes exception per hit, so no post_kprobe_handler() phase. All side-effects from the kprobe'd instruction are resolved before returning from the initial exception. As a result, all instructions are _always_ effectively boosted regardless of the type of instruction, and even regardless of whether or not there is a post-handler for the probe.

2008-01-26ARM kprobes: instruction single-stepping supportQuentin Barnes
This is the code implementing instruction single-stepping for kprobes on ARM. To get around the limitation of no Next-PC and no hardware single- stepping, all kprobe'd instructions are split into three camps: simulation, emulation, and rejected. "Simulated" instructions are those instructions which behavior is reproduced by straight C code. "Emulated" instructions are ones that are copied, slightly altered and executed directly in the instruction slot to reproduce their behavior. "Rejected" instructions are ones that could be simulated, but work hasn't been put into simulating them. These instructions should be very rare, if not unencountered, in the kernel. If ever needed, code could be added to simulate them. One might wonder why this and the ptrace singlestep facility are not sharing some code. Both approaches are fundamentally different because the ptrace code regains control after the stepped instruction by installing a breakpoint after the instruction itself, and possibly at the location where the instruction might be branching to, instead of simulating or emulating the target instruction. The ptrace approach isn't suitable for kprobes because the breakpoints would have to be moved back, and the icache flushed, everytime the probe is hit to let normal code execution resume, which would have a significant performance impact. It is also racy on SMP since another CPU could, with the right timing, sail through the probe point without being caught. Because ptrace single-stepping always result in a different process to be scheduled, the concern for performance is much less significant. On the other hand, the kprobes approach isn't (currently) suitable for ptrace because it has no provision for proper user space memory protection and translation, and even if that was implemented, the gain wouldn't be worth the added complexity in the ptrace path compared to the current approach. So, until kprobes does support user space, both kprobes and ptrace are best kept independent and separate.

2008-01-26[ARM] 4584/2: ARMv7: Add Advanced SIMD (NEON) extension supportCatalin Marinas
This patch enables the use of the Advanced SIMD (NEON) extension on ARMv7. The NEON technology is a 64/128-bit hybrid SIMD architecture for accelerating the performance of multimedia and signal processing applications. The extension shares the registers with the VFP unit and enabling/disabling and saving/restoring follow the same rules. In addition, there are instructions that do not have the appropriate CP number encoded, the checks being made in the call_fpe function.

2007-11-26[ARM] 4659/1: remove possibilities for spurious false negative with ↵Nicolas Pitre
__kuser_cmpxchg The ARM __kuser_cmpxchg routine is meant to implement an atomic cmpxchg in user space. It however can produce spurious false negative if a processor exception occurs in the middle of the operation. Normally this is not a problem since cmpxchg is typically called in a loop until it succeeds to implement an atomic increment for example. Some use cases which don't involve a loop require that the operation be 100% reliable though. This patch changes the implementation so to reattempt the operation after an exception has occurred in the critical section rather than abort it. Here's a simple program to test the fix (don't use CONFIG_NO_HZ in your kernel as this depends on a sufficiently high interrupt rate): #include <stdio.h> typedef int (__kernel_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, int *ptr); #define __kernel_cmpxchg (*(__kernel_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0) int main() { int i, x = 0; for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) { int v = x; if (__kernel_cmpxchg(v, v+1, &x)) printf("failed at %d: %d vs %d\n", i, v, x); } printf("done with %d vs %d\n", i, x); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)Alexey Dobriyan
One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log. There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes so for arch/xxx files. It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the printks in arch code.

2007-10-12[ARM] 4599/1: Preserve ATAG list for use with kexec (2.6.23)Mike Westerhof
This patch resolves a kexec boot failure that can occur because no ATAGs are passed in to the kexec'd kernel. Currently the newly-kexec'd kernel may fail if it requires specific ATAGs, or it may fail because the fixed memory location at which it expects to find the ATAGs may contain random data instead of ATAGs. The patch ensures that any ATAGs passed to the current kernel at boot time are copied to a static buffer, and are copied back when kexec copies the new kernel into place. Thus the new kernel sees the same ATAGs from kexec and the boot loader. The boot parameters are copied without regard to type, content, or length -- this patch's scope is limited soley to saving and restoring a fixed-size block of memory containing the kernel's boot parameters. Additional functionality to examine, alter, or replace the ATAGs (using kexec, for example) can be implemented by manipulating the static buffer containing the preserved ATAGs. Note: the size of the buffer (1.5KB) is selected to comfortably hold one of each ATAG type, including a maximum-length command line and the maximum number of ATAG_MEM structures currently supported by the kernel. Should an ATAG list exceed that limit, the list will be silently truncated to that limit (to do other- wise at that point in the boot process would make a simple problem exceedingly complicated). [Note: this is the same patch as 4579, modified to accomodate the ATAG changes introduced in 2.6.23] Signed-off-by: Mike Westerhof <mwester at dls.net> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The cpu_architecture() function in arch/arm/kernel/setup.c only works with cores produced by ARM Ltd. The more generic approach is to read the ID_MMFR0 register and check for the VMSA or PMSA version supported. With this patch, the ARM11MPCore would be reported as ARMv7 since its MMU is compatible with ARMv7.
