Patch from Catalin Marinas
ARM1136 erratum 371025 (category 2) specifies that, under rare
conditions, an invalidate I-cache by MVA (line or range) operation can
fail to invalidate a cache line. The recommended workaround is to
either invalidate the entire I-cache or invalidate the range by
set/way rather than MVA.
Note that for a 16K cache size, invalidating a 4K page by set/way is
equivalent to invalidating the entire I-cache.

Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs
instruction. The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region
and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus. If
there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing. This can
be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed
before the instruction gets actually executed.

ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.
This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)
Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.

A pte may be zapped by the swapper, exiting process, unmapping or page
migration while the accessed or dirty bit handers are about to run. In that
case the accessed bit or dirty is set on an zeroed pte which leads the VM to
conclude that this is a swap pte. This may lead to
- Messages from the vm like
swap_free: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000
- Processes being aborted
swap_dup: Bad swap file entry 4000000000000000
VM: killing process ....
Page migration is particular suitable for the creation of this race since
it needs to remove and restore page table entries.
The fix here is to check for the present bit and simply not update
the pte if the page is not present anymore. If the page is not present
then the fault handler should run next which will take care of the problem
by bringing the page back and then mark the page dirty or move it onto the
active list.

A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:
* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
bit being set. In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
which is not necessarily the current system call.
* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
_TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
by system calls. I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
was traced or single-stepped). Thus the non-volatile registers
weren't restored on exit from a signal handler. We probably got
away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
alter the non-volatile registers.
* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
preemption and signal delivery.
* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
enable interrupts first.

Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that
the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by
the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data

Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions
since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching
back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

Function next_timer_interrupt() got broken with a recent patch
6ba1b91213 as sys_nanosleep() was moved to
hrtimer. This broke things as next_timer_interrupt() did not check hrtimer
tree for next event.
Function next_timer_interrupt() is needed with dyntick (CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ,
VST) implementations, as the system can be in idle when next hrtimer event
was supposed to happen. At least ARM and S390 currently use
next_timer_interrupt().

The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both

On logically-partitioned machines the first element of the reg
property in the memory node is defined to be the "RMO" region,
i.e. the memory that the processor can access in real mode. On other
