2018-05-31ARM: bugs: add support for per-processor bug checkingRussell King
Add support for per-processor bug checking - each processor function descriptor gains a function pointer for this check, which must not be an __init function. If non-NULL, this will be called whenever a CPU enters the kernel via which ever path (boot CPU, secondary CPU startup, CPU resuming, etc.) This allows processor specific bug checks to validate that workaround bits are properly enabled by firmware via all entry paths to the kernel.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2014-02-10ARM: 7954/1: mm: remove remaining domain support from ARMv6Will Deacon
CPU_32v6 currently selects CPU_USE_DOMAINS if CPU_V6 and MMU. This is because ARM 1136 r0pX CPUs lack the v6k extensions, and therefore do not have hardware thread registers. The lack of these registers requires the kernel to update the vectors page at each context switch in order to write a new TLS pointer. This write must be done via the userspace mapping, since aliasing caches can lead to expensive flushing when using kmap. Finally, this requires the vectors page to be mapped r/w for kernel and r/o for user, which has implications for things like put_user which must trigger CoW appropriately when targetting user pages. The upshot of all this is that a v6/v7 kernel makes use of domains to segregate kernel and user memory accesses. This has the nasty side-effect of making device mappings executable, which has been observed to cause subtle bugs on recent cores (e.g. Cortex-A15 performing a speculative instruction fetch from the GIC and acking an interrupt in the process). This patch solves this problem by removing the remaining domain support from ARMv6. A new memory type is added specifically for the vectors page which allows that page (and only that page) to be mapped as user r/o, kernel r/w. All other user r/o pages are mapped also as kernel r/o.

2013-06-24ARM: 7773/1: PJ4B: Add support for errata 4742Gregory CLEMENT
This commit fixes the regression on Armada 370 (the kernal hang during boot) introduced by the commit: "ARM: 7691/1: mm: kill unused TLB_CAN_READ_FROM_L1_CACHE and use ALT_SMP instead". When coming out of either a Wait for Interrupt (WFI) or a Wait for Event (WFE) IDLE states, a specific timing sensitivity exists between the retiring WFI/WFE instructions and the newly issued subsequent instructions. This sensitivity can result in a CPU hang scenario. The workaround is to insert either a Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) or Data Memory Barrier (DMB) command immediately after the WFI/WFE instruction. This commit was based on the work of Lior Amsalem, but heavily modified to apply the errata fix dynamically according to the processor type thanks to the suggestions of Russell King and Nicolas Pitre.

2012-11-09ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONEWill Deacon
PROT_NONE mappings apply the page protection attributes defined by _P000 which translate to PAGE_NONE for ARM. These attributes specify an XN, RDONLY pte that is inaccessible to userspace. However, on kernels configured without support for domains, such a pte *is* accessible to the kernel and can be read via get_user, allowing tasks to read PROT_NONE pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe. This patch introduces a new software pte flag, L_PTE_NONE, that is set to identify faulting, present entries. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2012-09-25ARM: mm: implement LoUIS API for cache maintenance opsLorenzo Pieralisi
ARM v7 architecture introduced the concept of cache levels and related control registers. New processors like A7 and A15 embed an L2 unified cache controller that becomes part of the cache level hierarchy. Some operations in the kernel like cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable do not require a flush of the entire cache hierarchy to DRAM but just the cache levels belonging to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS), which in most of ARM v7 systems correspond to L1. The current cache flushing API used in cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable, flush_cache_all(), ends up flushing the whole cache hierarchy since for v7 it cleans and invalidates all cache levels up to Level of Coherency (LoC) which cripples system performance when used in hot paths like hotplug and cpuidle. Therefore a new kernel cache maintenance API must be added to cope with latest ARM system requirements. This patch adds flush_cache_louis() to the ARM kernel cache maintenance API. This function cleans and invalidates all data cache levels up to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS) and invalidates the instruction cache for processors that support it (> v7). This patch also creates an alias of the cache LoUIS function to flush_kern_all for all processor versions prior to v7, so that the current cache flushing behaviour is unchanged for those processors. v7 cache maintenance code implements a cache LoUIS function that cleans and invalidates the D-cache up to LoUIS and invalidates the I-cache, according to the new API.

2010-11-04ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas
This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register. Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory. Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to the LDR/STR ones. The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page isn't possible. The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok() function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

These old symbols are meaningless now that we have memory type support implemented. The entire memory type field needs to be modified rather than just a few bits twiddled. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-10-01[ARM] Remove MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 and associated definitionsRussell King
As of the previous commit, MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 encodes to the same PTE bit encoding as MT_DEVICE, so it's now redundant. Convert MT_DEVICE_IXP2000 to use MT_DEVICE instead, and remove its aliases. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2008-10-01[ARM] Convert set_pte_ext implementions to macrosRussell King
There are actually only four separate implementations of set_pte_ext. Use assembler macros to insert code for these into the proc-*.S files. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-06-29[ARM] nommu: provide a way for correct control register value selectionRussell King
Most MMU-based CPUs have a restriction on the setting of the data cache enable and mmu enable bits in the control register, whereby if the data cache is enabled, the MMU must also be enabled. Enabling the data cache without the MMU is an invalid combination. However, there are CPUs where the data cache can be enabled without the MMU. In order to allow these CPUs to take advantage of that, provide a method whereby each proc-*.S file defines the control regsiter value for use with nommu (with the MMU disabled.) Later on, when we add support for enabling the MMU on these devices, we can adjust the "crval" macro to also enable the data cache for nommu. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
