UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have, so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite parts of the kernel. Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions, thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values, and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

The standard I-cache Invalidate All (ICIALLU) and Branch Predication Invalidate All (BPIALL) operations are not automatically broadcast to the other CPUs in an ARMv7 MP system. The patch adds the Inner Shareable variants, ICIALLUIS and BPIALLIS, if ARMv7 and SMP.

ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs. This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware. (this patch is based on the work done by Tony Thompson @ ARM) Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

arm is placing some code in the .text.init section, but it does not reference that section in its linker scripts. This change moves this code from the .text.init section to the .init.text section, which is presumably where it belongs.

We are currently using the ARMv6 operations but need to duplicate some of the code because of the introduction of the new CPU barrier instructions in ARMv7. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The architecture specification states that TLB operations are guaranteed to be complete only after the execution of a DSB (Data Synchronisation Barrier, former Data Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer). The branch target cache invalidation is also needed. The ISB (Instruction Synchronisation Barrier, formerly Prefetch Flush) is needed unless there will be a return from exception before the corresponding mapping is used (i.e. user mappings).

Patch from Catalin Marinas 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 Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer). 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.

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!
