If we are context switched whilst copying into a thread's vfp_hard_struct then the partial copy may be corrupted by the VFP context switching code (see "ARM: vfp: flush thread hwstate before restoring context from sigframe"). This patch updates the ptrace VFP set code so that the thread state is flushed before the copy, therefore disabling VFP and preventing corruption from occurring.

In a preemptible kernel, vfp_set() can be preempted, causing the hardware VFP context to be switched while the thread vfp state is being read and modified. This leads to a race condition which can cause the thread vfp state to become corrupted if lazy VFP context save occurs due to preemption in between the time thread->vfpstate is read and the time the modified state is written back. This may occur if preemption occurs during the execution of a ptrace() call which modifies the VFP register state of a thread. Such instances should be very rare in most realistic scenarios -- none has been reported, so far as I am aware. Only uniprocessor systems should be affected, since VFP context save is not currently lazy in SMP kernels. The problem was introduced by my earlier patch migrating to use regsets to implement ptrace. This patch does a vfp_sync_hwstate() before reading thread->vfpstate, to make sure that the thread's VFP state is not live in the hardware registers while the registers are modified. Thanks to Will Deacon for spotting this.

Following execution of a signal handler, we currently restore the VFP context from the ucontext in the signal frame. This involves copying from the user stack into the current thread's vfp_hard_struct and then flushing the new data out to the hardware registers. This is problematic when using a preemptible kernel because we could be context switched whilst updating the vfp_hard_struct. If the current thread has made use of VFP since the last context switch, the VFP notifier will copy from the hardware registers into the vfp_hard_struct, overwriting any data that had been partially copied by the signal code. Disabling preemption across copy_from_user calls is a terrible idea, so instead we move the VFP thread flush *before* we update the vfp_hard_struct. Since the flushing is performed lazily, this has the effect of disabling VFP and clearing the CPU's VFP state pointer, therefore preventing the thread from being updated with stale data on the next context switch.

This reverts commit 3c424f35. Joachim Eastwood reports: | "ARM: 7304/1: ioremap: fix boundary check when reusing static mapping" | Commit: 3c424f35 in Linus master | | Breaks booting on my custom AT91RM9200 board. | There isn't any error messages or anything that indicates what goes | wrong it just stops after; Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the | kernel. | | Reverting it makes my board boot again. and further debugging reveals: ioremap: pfn=fffff phys=fffff000 offset=400 size=1000 ioremap: area c3ffdfc0: phys_addr=200000 pfn=200 size=4000 ioremap: found: addr fef74000 => fed73000 => fed73400 Clearly, an area for pfn 0x200, 16K can't ever satisfy a request for pfn 0xfffff. This happens because the changed if statement becomes: if (0x00200 > 0xfffff || 0xfffff000 + 0x400 + 0x1000-1 > 0x00200000 + 0x4000-1) and therefore: if (0x00200 > 0xfffff || 0x000003ff > 0x00203fff) The if condition fails, and so we _believe_ that the SRAM mapping fits our request. Clearly that's totally bogus. Moreover, the original premise of the 'fix' patch was wrong: | The condition checking boundaries of the requested and existing | mappings didn't take in-page offset into consideration though, | which lead to obscure and hard to debug problems when requested | mapping crossed end of the static one. as the code immediately above this loop does: size = PAGE_ALIGN(offset + size); so 'size' already contains the requested offset into the page. So, revert the broken 'fix'. Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

The condition checking boundaries of the requested and existing mappings didn't take in-page offset into consideration though, which lead to obscure and hard to debug problems when requested mapping crossed end of the static one.

The dynamic ftrace ops startup test currently fails on Thumb-2 kernels: Testing tracer function: PASSED Testing dynamic ftrace: PASSED Testing dynamic ftrace ops #1: (0 0 0 0 0) FAILED! This is because while the addresses in the mcount records do not have the zero bit set, the IP reported by the mcount call does have it set (because it is copied from the LR). This mismatch causes the ops filtering in ftrace_ops_list_func() to not call the relevant tracers. Fix this by clearing the zero bit before adjusting the LR for the mcount instruction size. Also, combine the mov+sub into a single sub instruction.

Since commit 0536bdf3 (ARM: move iotable mappings within the vmalloc region), the RealView PB11MP cannot boot anymore. This is caused by the way the mappings are described on this platform (define replaced by hex values for clarity): { /* GIC CPU interface mapping */ .virtual = IO_ADDRESS(0x1F000100), .pfn = __phys_to_pfn(0x1F000100), .length = SZ_4K, .type = MT_DEVICE, }, { /* GIC distributor mapping */ .virtual = IO_ADDRESS(0x1F001000), .pfn = __phys_to_pfn(0x1F001000), .length = SZ_4K, .type = MT_DEVICE, } The first mapping ends up reserving two pages, and clashes with the second one, which triggers a BUG_ON in vm_area_add_early(). In order to solve this problem, treat the MPCore private memory region (containing the SCU, the GIC and the TWD) as a single region, as described in the TRM: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0360f/CACGDJJC.html The EB11MP is converted the same way, even if it manages to avoid the problem. Tested on both PB11MP and EB11MP. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

On secondary CPUs, the Timer Control Register is not reset to a sane value before the timer is registered, and the TRM doesn't seem to indicate any reset value either. In some cases, the kernel will take an interrupt too early, depending on what junk was present in the registers at reset time. The fix is to set the Timer Control Register to 0 before registering the clock_event_device and enabling the interrupt. Problem seen on VE (Cortex A5) and Tegra.

It turns out that the logical CPU mapping is useful even when !CONFIG_SMP for manipulation of devices like interrupt and power controllers when running a UP kernel on a CPU other than 0. This can happen when kexecing a UP image from an SMP kernel. In the future, multi-cluster systems running AMP configurations will require something similar for mapping cluster IDs, so it makes sense to decouple this logic in preparation for this support.

To ensure correct alignment of cacheline-aligned data, the maximum cacheline size needs to be known at compile time. Since Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A15 have 64-byte cachelines (and it is likely that there will be future ARMv7 implementations with the same line size) then it makes sense to assume that CPU_V7 implies a 64-byte L1 cacheline size. For CPUs with smaller caches, this will result in some harmless padding but will help with single zImage work and avoid hitting subtle bugs with misaligned data structures.

The exception fixup table is currently aligned to a 32-byte boundary. Whilst this won't cause any problems, the exception_table_entry structures contain only a pair of unsigned longs, so 4-byte alignment is all that is required. If the table was walked from start to end, cacheline alignment may bring some performance benefits, but since a binary search is used, the access pattern is random and will not benefit from a stricter alignment.

If the ucb1x00 touchscreen is resumed while the touchscreen is being touched, the main thread stops responding. This occurs because two things happen: 1. When we suspended, we were woken up, and executed the loop. Finding that the touchscreen was not pressed, we prepare to schedule for a maximum timeout, before being stopped in try_to_freeze(). 2. an irq occurs, we disable the irq, and mark it as disabled, and wake the thread. This wake occurs while the thread is still within __refrigerator() 3. The thread is unfrozen, and __refrigerator() sets the threads state back to INTERRUPTIBLE. We then drop into schedule_timeout() with an infinite timeout and the IRQ disabled. This prevents any further screen touches activating the thread. Fix this by using kthread_freezable_should_stop() which handles the freezing issues for us outside of the hotspot where the task state matters. Include a flag to ignore the touchscreen until it is released to avoid sending unintended data to the application. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

The genirq layer complains if an interrupt handler returns with interrupts enabled. The UCB1x00 handler does just this, because ucb1x00_enable() calls mcp_enable(), which uses spin_lock_irq() rather than spin_lock_irqsave(). Convert this, and the divisor setting functions to use spin_lock_irqsave(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

This reverts commit 5dd7bf59. Conflicts: scripts/mod/file2alias.c This change is wrong on many levels. First and foremost, it causes a regression. On boot on Assabet, which this patch gives a codec id of 'ucb1x00', it gives: ucb1x00 ID not found: 1005 0x1005 is a valid ID for the UCB1300 device. Secondly, this patch is way over the top in terms of complexity. The only device which has been seen to be connected with this MCP code is the UCB1x00 (UCB1200, UCB1300 etc) devices, and they all use the same driver. Adding a match table, requiring the codec string to match the hardware ID read out of the ID register, etc is completely over the top when we can just read the hardware ID register.
