d9981380b4 ARM: 8137/1: fix get_user BE behavior for target variable with size of 8 bytes
e38361d 'ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types' commit
broke V7 BE get_user call when target var size is 64 bit, but '*ptr' size
is 32 bit or smaller. e38361d changed type of __r2 from 'register
unsigned long' to 'register typeof(x) __r2 asm("r2")' i.e before the change
even when target variable size was 64 bit, __r2 was still 32 bit.
But after e38361d commit, for target var of 64 bit size, __r2 became 64
bit and now it should occupy 2 registers r2, and r3. The issue in BE case
that r3 register is least significant word of __r2 and r2 register is most
significant word of __r2. But __get_user_4 still copies result into r2 (most
significant word of __r2). Subsequent code copies from __r2 into x, but
for situation described it will pick up only garbage from r3 register.

Special __get_user_64t_(124) functions are introduced. They are similar to
corresponding __get_user_(124) function but result stored in r3 register
(lsw in case of 64 bit __r2 in BE image). Those function are used by
get_user macro in case of BE and target var size is 64bit.

Also changed __get_user_lo8 name into __get_user_32t_8 to get consistent
naming accross all cases.

b3345d7c57 ARM: SoC platform changes for 3.17
This is the bulk of new SoC enablement and other platform changes for 3.17:
 
 * Samsung S5PV210 has been converted to DT and multiplatform
 * Clock drivers and bindings for some of the lower-end i.MX 1/2 platforms
 * Kirkwood, one of the popular Marvell platforms, is folded into the
   mvebu platform code, removing mach-kirkwood.
 * Hwmod data for TI AM43xx and DRA7 platforms.
 * More additions of Renesas shmobile platform support
 * Removal of plat-samsung contents that can be removed with S5PV210 being
   multiplatform/DT-enabled and the other two old platforms being removed.
 
 New platforms (most with only basic support right now):
 
 * Hisilicon X5HD2 settop box chipset is introduced
 * Mediatek MT6589 (mobile chipset) is introduced
 * Broadcom BCM7xxx settop box chipset is introduced
 
 + as usual a lot other pieces all over the platform code.

e38361d032 ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types
Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit
values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow
the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared
ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to
avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user().

This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other
32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out
architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze,
mn10300, sh.

Credit:

    My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and
    v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4
    I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I
    have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine
    even if credit should more widely shared.

Changelog:

v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King)
v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King),
    used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file),
    cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8.
v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues
v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing
    double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion)
v1: original

6ebbf2ce43 ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+
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.

highest resolution. This code relies on the fact secondary CPUs have not yet
been brought online when register_current_timer_delay() is called. This is
ensured by implementing calibration_delay_done(),

c32ffce0f6 ARM: 7984/1: prefetch: add prefetchw invocations for barriered atomics
After a bunch of benchmarking on the interaction between dmb and pldw,
it turns out that issuing the pldw *after* the dmb instruction can
give modest performance gains (~3% atomic_add_return improvement on a
dual A15).

This patch adds prefetchw invocations to our barriered atomic operations
including cmpxchg, test_and_xxx and futexes.

ef41b5c924 ARM: make kernel oops easier to read
We don't need the offset for the first function name in each backtrace
entry; this needlessly consumes screen space.  This is virtually always
the first or second instruction in the called function.

Also, recognise stmfd instructions which include r10 as a valid stack
saving instruction, and when dumping the registers, dump six registers
per line rather than five, and fix the wrapping.

11d4bb1bd0 ARM: 7907/1: lib: delay-loop: Add align directive to fix BogoMIPS calculation
Currently mx53 (CortexA8) running at 1GHz reports:
Calibrating delay loop... 663.55 BogoMIPS (lpj=3317760)

Tom Evans verified that alignments of 0x0 and 0x8 run the two instructions of __loop_delay in one clock cycle (1 clock/loop), while alignments of 0x4 and 0xc take 3 clocks to run the loop twice. (1.5 clock/loop)

The original object code looks like this:

00000010 <__loop_const_udelay>:
  10:	e3e01000 	mvn	r1, #0
  14:	e51f201c 	ldr	r2, [pc, #-28]	; 0 <__loop_udelay-0x8>

  44:	e1a0f00e 	mov	pc, lr

After adding the 'align 3' directive to __loop_delay (align to 8 bytes):

, which now reports:
Calibrating delay loop... 996.14 BogoMIPS (lpj=4980736)

Some more test results:

On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz, before the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 351.43 BogoMIPS (lpj=1757184)

On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz after the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 528.79 BogoMIPS (lpj=2643968)

Also tested on mx6 (CortexA9) and on mx27 (ARM926), which shows the same
BogoMIPS value before and after this patch.

b7ec699405 ARM: 7893/1: bitops: only emit .arch_extension mp if CONFIG_SMP
Uwe reported a build failure when targetting a NOMMU platform with my
recent prefetch changes:

  arch/arm/lib/changebit.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/arm/lib/changebit.S:15: Error: architectural extension `mp' is
			not allowed for the current base architecture

This is due to use of the .arch_extension mp directive immediately prior
to an ALT_SMP(...) instruction. Whilst the ALT_SMP macro will expand to
nothing if !CONFIG_SMP, gas will still choke on the directive.

This patch fixes the issue by only emitting the sequence (including the
directive) if CONFIG_SMP=y.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in this series are:

   1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
   2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
   3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
   4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
   5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
   6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
   7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.

  There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
  notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
  tree and other stuff.  Consequently I have a resolution which Will
  forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
  mail.

  The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
  crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches.  These were merged
  into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
  little I can do about this.  The problem is caused because these
  patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
  tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
  each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
  which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
  dependent patches.  I've no idea what's going on there or how to
  resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
  this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
  reverting Ard's patches.

  Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
  build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
  and since it's a new feature anyway.  However, if by -rc1 the
  dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"

I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences.  Any errors are likely mine.  Let's

a3a9ea656d ARM: 7858/1: mm: make UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY huge page aware
The memory pinning code in uaccess_with_memcpy.c does not check
for HugeTLB or THP pmds, and will enter an infinite loop should
a __copy_to_user or __clear_user occur against a huge page.

This patch adds detection code for huge pages to pin_page_for_write.
As this code can be executed in a fast path it refers to the actual
pmds rather than the vma. If a HugeTLB or THP is found (they have
the same pmd representation on ARM), the page table spinlock is
taken to prevent modification whilst the page is pinned.

On ARM, huge pages are only represented as pmds, thus no huge pud
checks are performed. (For huge puds one would lock the page table
in a similar manner as in the pmd case).

Two helper functions are introduced; pmd_thp_or_huge will check
whether or not a page is huge or transparent huge (which have the
same pmd layout on ARM), and pmd_hugewillfault will detect whether
or not a page fault will occur on write to the page.

Running the following test (with the chunking from read_zero
removed):
 $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=10M count=1024
Gave:  2.3 GB/s backed by normal pages,
       2.9 GB/s backed by huge pages,
       5.1 GB/s backed by huge pages, with page mask=HPAGE_MASK.

After some discussion, it was decided not to adopt the HPAGE_MASK,
as this would have a significant detrimental effect on the overall
system latency due to page_table_lock being held for too long.
This could be revisited if split huge page locks are adopted.

d779c07dd7 ARM: bitops: prefetch the destination word for write prior to strex
The cost of changing a cacheline from shared to exclusive state can be
significant, especially when this is triggered by an exclusive store,
since it may result in having to retry the transaction.

This patch prefixes our atomic bitops implementation with prefetchw,
to try and grab the line in exclusive state from the start. The testop
macro is left alone, since the barrier semantics limit the usefulness
of prefetching data.

136dfa5eda ARM: delete mach-shark
The Shark machine sub-architecture (also known as DNARD, the
DIGITAL Network Appliance Reference Design) lacks a maintainer
able to apply and test patches to modernize the architecture.

It is suspected that the current kernel, while it compiles,
does not even boot on this machine. The listed maintainer has
expressed that he will not be able to spend any time on the
maintenance for the coming year.

So let's delete it from the kernel for now. It can always be
resurrected with git revert if maintenance is resumed.

As the VIA82c505 PCI adapter was only used by this
architecture, that gets deleted too.

9319206d71 ARM: 7835/2: fix modular build of xor_blocks() with NEON enabled
Commit 0195659 introduced a NEON accelerated version of the xor_blocks()
function, but it needs the changes in this patch to allow it to be built
as a module rather than statically into the kernel.

This patch creates a separate module xor-neon.ko which exports the NEON
inner xor_blocks() functions depended upon by the regular xor.ko if it
is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON=y

Comments from Ard Biesheuvel:

I have included two use cases that I have been using, XOR and RAID-6
checksumming. The former gets a 60% performance boost on the NEON, the
latter over 400%.

ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON

Adds kernel_neon_begin/end (renamed from kernel_vfp_begin/end in the
previous version to de-emphasize the VFP part as VFP code that needs
software assistance is not supported currently.)

Introduces <asm/neon.h> and the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON. This
has been aligned with Catalin for arm64, so any NEON code that does
not use assembly but intrinsics or the GCC vectorizer (such as my
examples) can potentially be shared between arm and arm64 archs.

ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage

This is needed so the NEON is enabled when the XOR and RAID-6 algo
boot time benchmarks are run.

ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode

This adds a check to vfp_support_entry() to flag unsupported uses of
the NEON/VFP in kernel mode. FP exceptions (bounces) are flagged as
a bug, this is because of their potentially intermittent nature.
Exceptions caused by the fact that kernel_neon_begin has not been
called are just routed through the undef handler.

ARM: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation

This is the xor_blocks() implementation built with -ftree-vectorize,
60% faster than optimized ARM code. It calls in_interrupt() to check
whether the NEON flavor can be used: this should really not be
necessary, but due to xor_blocks'squite generic nature, there is no
telling how exactly people may be using it in the real world.

lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation

This is a port of the RAID-6 checksumming code in altivec.uc ported
to use NEON intrinsics. It is about 4x faster than the sequential
code.

8bd26e3a7e arm: delete __cpuinit/__CPUINIT usage from all ARM users
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code.  It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

Commit 70264367a2 ("ARM: 7653/2: do not scale loops_per_jiffy when

delay loop, where loops_per_jiffy is scaled by cpufreq yet used directly
by the timer delay ops.

This patch fixes the problem in a more elegant way by keeping a private
ticks_per_jiffy field in the delay ops, independent of loops_per_jiffy
and therefore not subject to scaling. The loop-based delay continues to
use loops_per_jiffy directly, as it should.

Commit 455bd4c430 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
with the memset return value.  However the memset itself became broken
by that patch for misaligned pointers.

This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.

Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.

While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
issue pipelines.

455bd4c430 ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations
Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.

For instance in the following function:

void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
	memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
	waiter->magic = waiter;
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
}

compiled as:

800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
800554d0:       e92d4008        push    {r3, lr}
800554d4:       e1a00001        mov     r0, r1
800554d8:       e3a02010        mov     r2, #16 ; 0x10
800554dc:       e3a01011        mov     r1, #17 ; 0x11
800554e0:       eb04426e        bl      80165ea0 <memset>
800554e4:       e1a03000        mov     r3, r0
800554e8:       e583000c        str     r0, [r3, #12]
800554ec:       e5830000        str     r0, [r3]
800554f0:       e5830004        str     r0, [r3, #4]
800554f4:       e8bd8008        pop     {r3, pc}

GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.

This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:

Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -> r8, then
r0 -> ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).

Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:

save r8:
-       str     lr, [sp, #-4]!
+       stmfd   sp!, {r8, lr}

and restore r8 on both exit paths:
-       ldmeqfd sp!, {pc}               @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+       ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc}           @ Now <64 bytes to go.
(...)
        tst     r2, #16
        stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
-       ldr     lr, [sp], #4
+       ldmfd   sp!, {r8, lr}

Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:

save r8:
-       stmfd   sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+       stmfd   sp!, {r4-r8, lr}

and restore r8 on both exit paths:
        bgt     3b
-       ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+       ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
        tst     r2, #16
        stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
-       ldmfd   sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+       ldmfd   sp!, {r4-r8, lr}

Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

70264367a2 ARM: 7653/2: do not scale loops_per_jiffy when using a constant delay clock
When udelay() is implemented using an architected timer, it is wrong
to scale loops_per_jiffy when changing the CPU clock frequency since
the timer clock remains constant.

The lpj should probably become an implementation detail relevant to
the CPU loop based delay routine only and more confined to it. In the
mean time this is the minimal fix needed to have expected delays with
the timer based implementation when cpufreq is also in use.

56942fec06 ARM: 7538/1: delay: add registration mechanism for delay timer sources
The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).

This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

d0a533b182 ARM: 7452/1: delay: allow timer-based delay implementation to be selected
This patch allows a timer-based delay implementation to be selected by
switching the delay routines over to use get_cycles, which is
implemented in terms of read_current_timer. This further allows us to
skip the loop calibration and have a consistent delay function in the
face of core frequency scaling.

To avoid the pain of dealing with memory-mapped counters, this
implementation uses the co-processor interface to the architected timers
when they are available. The previous loop-based implementation is
kept around for CPUs without the architected timers and we retain both
the maximum delay (2ms) and the corresponding conversion factors for
determining the number of loops required for a given interval. Since the
indirection of the timer routines will only work when called from C,
the sa1100 sleep routines are modified to branch to the loop-based delay
functions directly.

2d81f1fe81 ARM: lib: add call_with_stack function for safely changing stack
When disabling the MMU, it is necessary to take out a 1:1 identity map
of the reset code so that it can safely be executed with and without
the MMU active. To avoid the situation where the physical address of the
reset code aliases with the virtual address of the active stack (which
cannot be included in the 1:1 mapping), it is desirable to change to a
new stack at a location which is less likely to alias.

This code adds a new lib function, call_with_stack:

	void call_with_stack(void (*fn)(void *), void *arg, void *sp);

which changes the stack to point at the sp parameter, before invoking
fn(arg) with the new stack selected.

4d4487140d arm: remove "optimized" SHA1 routines
Since commit 1eb19a12bd ("lib/sha1: use the git implementation of

depended on the larger 320-byte workspace, and now the sha1 workspace is
just 16 words (64 bytes).  So the assembly version would overwrite the
stack randomly.

The optimized asm version is also probably slower than the new improved
C version, so there's no reason to keep it around.  At least that was
the case in git, where what appears to be the same assembly language
version was removed two years ago because the optimized C BLK_SHA1 code
was faster.

81479c246c ARM: 6945/1: Add unwinding support for division functions
The software division functions never had unwinding annotations
added. Currently, when a division by zero occurs the backtrace shown
will stop at Ldiv0 or some completely unrelated function. Add
unwinding annotations in hopes of getting a more useful backtrace
when a division by zero occurs.

516295e5ab ARM: pgtable: add pud-level code
Add pud_offset() et.al. between the pgd and pmd code in preparation of
using pgtable-nopud.h rather than 4level-fixup.h.

This incorporates a fix from Jamie Iles <jamie@jamieiles.com> for
uaccess_with_memcpy.c.

3ba6e69ad8 ARM: 6653/1: bitops: Use BX instead of MOV PC,LR
The kernel doesn't officially need to interwork, but using BX
wherever appropriate will help educate people into good assembler
coding habits.

BX is appropriate here because this code is predicated on
__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6

6323f0cced ARM: bitops: switch set/clear/change bitops to use ldrex/strex
Switch the set/clear/change bitops to use the word-based exclusive
operations, which are only present in a wider range of ARM architectures
than the byte-based exclusive operations.

Tested record:
- Nicolas Pitre: ext3,rw,le
- Sourav Poddar: nfs,le
- Will Deacon: ext3,rw,le
- Tony Lindgren: ext3+nfs,le

a16ede35a2 ARM: bitops: ensure set/clear/change bitops take a word-aligned pointer
Add additional instructions to our assembly bitops functions to ensure
that they only operate on word-aligned pointers.  This will be necessary
when we switch these operations to use the word-based exclusive
operations.
