When dma-coherent transfers are enabled, the mmap call must
not change the pg_prot flags in the vma struct.
Split the arm_dma_mmap into a common and specific parts,
and add a "arm_coherent_dma_mmap" implementation that does
not alter the page protection flags.
Tested on a topic-miami board (Zynq) using the ACP port
to transfer data between FPGA and CPU using the Dyplo
framework. Without this patch, byte-wise access to mmapped
coherent DMA memory was about 20x slower because of the
memory being marked as non-cacheable, and transfer speeds
would not exceed 240MB/s.
After this patch, the mapped memory is cacheable and the
transfer speed is again 600MB/s (limited by the FPGA) when
the data is in the L2 cache, while data integrity is being
maintained.
The patch has no effect on non-coherent DMA.

Fixes the TCM initialisation code to handle TCM banks that are
present but inaccessible due to TrustZone configuration. This is
the default case when enabling the non-secure world. It may also
be the case that that the user decided to use TCM for TrustZone.
This change has exposed a bug in handling of TCM where no TCM bank
was usable (the 0 size TCM case). This change addresses the
resulting hang.
This code only handles the ARMv6 TCMTR register format, and will not
work correctly on boards that use the ARMv7 (or any other) format.
This is handled by performing an early exit from the initialisation
function when the TCMTR reports any format other than v6.

When using a toolchain with gold as the default linker, the VDSO build
fails:
VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw
HOSTCC arch/arm/vdso/vdsomunge
MUNGE arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
OBJCOPY arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so
BFD: arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so: Not enough room for program headers, try
linking with -N
For whatever reason, ld.gold is omitting an exidx program header that
ld.bfd emits, and even when I work around that, I don't get a working
VDSO.
For now, instead of supporting gold (which will fail to link the
kernel anyway since it does not implement --pic-veneer), direct the
compiler to use the traditional bfd linker. This is accomplished by
using -fuse-ld, which is implemented in GCC 4.8 and later.
Note: one limitation of this is that if the toolchain is configured
to use gold by default, and the bfd linker is not in $PATH, the VDSO
build will fail:
VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw
collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'
This will happen if CROSS_COMPILE begins with a path such as
/opt/bin/arm-linux-gnu- but /opt/bin is not in $PATH. This is
considered an acceptable corner-case limitation and is easily worked
around.
Additonal note: we use cc-option instead of cc-ldoption so that
-fuse-ld=bfd is placed in the command line if the compiler recognizes
the option. Using cc-ldoption results in an attempt to link, which
fails in the situation just described, causing -fuse-ld=bfd to be
omitted and gold to be used for the VDSO link, which is what we're
trying to prevent.

A recent change in kernel/acct.c added a new warning for many
configurations on ARM:
kernel/acct.c: In function 'acct_pin_kill':
arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:122:3: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
The code is in fact correct, it's just a cmpxchg() call that
intentionally ignores the result, and no other code does that. The
warning does not show up on x86 because of the way that its cmpxchg()
macro is written. This changes the ARM implementation to use a similar
construct with a compound expression instead of a typecast, which causes
the compiler to not complain about an unused result.
Fix the other macros in this file in a similar way, and place them

This results in the Cortex-A15 test always being executed after the

Re-implement the physical address space switching to be architecturally
compliant. This involves flushing the caches, disabling the MMU, and
only then updating the page tables. Once that is complete, the system
can be brought back up again.
Since we disable the MMU, we need to do the update in assembly code.
Luckily, the entries which need updating are fairly trivial, and are
all setup by the early assembly code. We can merely adjust each entry
by the delta required.
Not only does this fix the code to be architecturally compliant, but it
fixes a couple of bugs too:
1. The original code would only ever update the first L2 entry covering
a fraction of the kernel; the remainder were left untouched.
2. The L2 entries covering the DTB blob were likewise untouched.
This solution fixes up all entries.

At boot time we round the memblock limit down to section size in an
attempt to ensure that we will have mapped this RAM with section
mappings prior to allocating from it. When mapping RAM we iterate over
PMD-sized chunks, creating these section mappings.
Section mappings are only created when the end of a chunk is aligned to
section size. Unfortunately, with classic page tables (where PMD_SIZE is
2 * SECTION_SIZE) this means that if a chunk is between 1M and 2M in
size the first 1M will not be mapped despite having been accounted for
in the memblock limit. This has been observed to result in page tables
being allocated from unmapped memory, causing boot-time hangs.
This patch modifies the memblock limit rounding to always round down to
PMD_SIZE instead of SECTION_SIZE. For classic MMU this means that we
will round the memblock limit down to a 2M boundary, matching the limits
on section mappings, and preventing allocations from unmapped memory.
For LPAE there should be no change as PMD_SIZE == SECTION_SIZE.

Open firmware is already using the serial-number property for passing the
device's serial number from the bootloader to the kernel. In addition, lshw
already has support for scanning this property.
The serial number is a string that somewhat represents the device's serial
number. It might come from some form of storage (e.g. an eeprom) and be
programmed at factory-time by the manufacturer or come from identification
bits available in e.g. the SoC (note that the soc_id property in the SoC bus
should hold a full account of those bits).
The serial number is taken as-is from the bootloader, so it is up to the
bootloader to define where the serial number comes from and what length it
should be. Some use cases for the serial number require it to have a maximum
length (e.g. for USB serial number) and some other cases imply more restrictions
on what the serial number should look like (e.g. in Android, the ro.serialno
property is usually a 16-bytes (plus one null byte) representation of a 64 bit
number).

Loading modules far away from the kernel in memory is problematic
because the 'bl' instruction only has limited reach, and modules are not
built with PLTs. Instead of using the -mlong-calls option (which affects
all compiler emitted bl instructions, but not the ones in assembler),
this patch allocates some additional space at module load time, and
populates it with PLT like veneers when encountering relocations that
are out of range.
This should work with all relocations against symbols exported by the
kernel, including those resulting from GCC generated implicit function
calls for ftrace etc.
The module memory size increases by about 5% on average, regardless of
whether any PLT entries were actually needed. However, due to the page
based rounding that occurs when allocating module memory, the average
memory footprint increase is negligible.

on r3p2 also, which has 430973 fixed in hardware.
Turns out the reason for this is some bootloaders incorrectly
setting the auxilary register IBE bit, which probably causes us
to hit erratum 687067 on Cortex-A8 later than r1p2.
If the bootloader incorrectly sets the IBE bit in the auxilary control
register for Cortex-A8 revisions with 430973 fixed in hardware, we
need to call flush BTAC/BTB to avoid segfaults probably caused by
erratum 687067. So let's flush BTAC/BTB unconditionally for Cortex-A8.
It won't do anything unless the IBE bit is set.
Note that we keep the erratum 430973 Kconfig option still around and
disabled for multiarch as it may be unsafe to enable for some secure
SoC. It is known safe to be enabled for n900, but won't do anything
on n900 as the IBE bit needs to be set with SMC.
Also note that SoCs probably should also add checks and print warnings
for the misconfigured IBE bit depending on the Cortex-A8 revision
so the bootloaders can be fixed Cortex-A8 revisions later than
r1p2 to not set the IBE bit.

From Cortex-M reference manuals, the nvic supports up to 240 interrupts.
So the number of entries in vectors table is up to 256.
This patch adds a new config flag to specify the number of external interrupts.
Some ifdeferies are added in order to respect the natural alignment without
wasting too much space on smaller systems.
