Russell King 8478132a87 Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"
This reverts commit 4dd1837d75.

Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.

While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
change:

- We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
  else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
  become more fragile:
  * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
    asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
    the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
  * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
    with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
    the file.

- We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
  they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
  exports.

As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:

 (two fixes for modversions)
 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.

As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
revert the change.

Russell King 24c66dfd56 ARM: fix backtrace
Recent kernels have changed their behaviour to be more inconsistent
when handling printk continuations.  With todays kernels, the output
looks sane on the console, but dmesg splits individual printk()s which
do not have the KERN_CONT prefix into separate lines.

Since the assembly code is not trivial to add the KERN_CONT, and we
ideally want to avoid using KERN_CONT (as multiple printk()s can race
between different threads), convert the assembly dumping the register
values to C code, and have the C code build the output a line at a
time before dumping to the console.

This avoids the KERN_CONT issue, and also avoids situations where the
output is intermixed with other console activity.

Nicolas Pitre 42f25bddd0 ARM: 8477/1: runtime patch udiv/sdiv instructions into __aeabi_{u}idiv()
The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_idiv() and
__aeabi_uidiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the sdiv and
udiv instructions, the kernel may overwrite the beginning of those
functions with those instructions and a "bx lr" to get better
performance.

To ensure that those functions are aligned to a 32-bit word for easier
patching (which might not always be the case in Thumb mode) and that
the two patched instructions end up in the same cache line, a 8-byte
alignment is enforced when ARM_PATCH_IDIV is selected.

This was heavily inspired by a previous patch from Stephen Boyd.

potentially sleeping as a result.  As we do not save and restore the

Russell King a5e090acbf ARM: software-based priviledged-no-access support
Provide a software-based implementation of the priviledged no access
support found in ARMv8.1.

Userspace pages are mapped using a different domain number from the
kernel and IO mappings.  If we switch the user domain to "no access"
when we enter the kernel, we can prevent the kernel from touching
userspace.

However, the kernel needs to be able to access userspace via the
various user accessor functions.  With the wrapping in the previous
patch, we can temporarily enable access when the kernel needs user
access, and re-disable it afterwards.

This allows us to trap non-intended accesses to userspace, eg, caused
by an inadvertent dereference of the LIST_POISON* values, which, with
appropriate user mappings setup, can be made to succeed.  This in turn
can allow use-after-free bugs to be further exploited than would
otherwise be possible.

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the

Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it.  This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

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.

Linus Torvalds 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.

Daniel Thompson 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

Russell King 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.

Russell King 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.

Fabio Estevam 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>:

, which now reports:

Some more test results:

On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz, before the patch:

On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz after the patch:

Will Deacon 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

Steven Capper 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.

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.

Linus Walleij 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.

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.
