Few architectures combine the GIC with an external interrupt controller. On such systems it may be necessary to update both the GIC registers and the external controller's registers to control IRQ behavior. This can be addressed in couple of possible methods. 1. Export common GIC routines along with 'struct irq_chip gic_chip' and allow architectures to have custom function by override. 2. Provide architecture specific function pointer hooks within GIC library and leave platforms to add the necessary code as part of these hooks. First one might be non-intrusive but have few shortcomings like arch needs to have there own custom gic library. Locks used should be common since it caters to same IRQs etc. Maintenance point of view also it leads to multiple file fixes. The second probably is cleaner and portable. It ensures that all the common GIC infrastructure is not touched and also provides archs to address their specific issue.

PL310 implements the Clean & Invalidate by Way L2 cache maintenance operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean & Invalidate by Way operation. Workaround: Disable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register) Clean & Invalidate by Way (0x7FC) Re-enable Write-Back and Cache Linefill (Debug Control Register) This patch also removes any OMAP dependency on PL310 Errata's Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@ti.com> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

We currently presume a 4x expansion to guess the decompressed kernel size in order to determine if the decompressed kernel is in conflict with the location where zImage is loaded. This guess may cause many issues by overestimating the final kernel image size: - This may force a needless relocation if the location of zImage was fine, wasting some precious microseconds of boot time. - The relocation may be located way too far, possibly overwriting the initrd image in RAM. - If the kernel image includes a large already-compressed initramfs image then the problem is even more exacerbated. And if by some strange means the 4x guess is too low then we may overwrite ourselves with the decompressed image. So let's use the exact decompressed kernel image size instead. For that we need to rely on the stat command, but this is hardly a new build dependency as the kernel already depends on many external commands to be built provided by the coreutils package where stat is found.

In the case of a conflict between the memory used by the compressed kernel with its decompressor code and the memory used for the decompressed kernel, we currently store the later after the former and relocate it afterwards. This would be more efficient to do this the other way around i.e. relocate the compressed data up front instead, resulting in a smaller copy. That also has the advantage of making the code smaller and more straight forward. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

PTRACE_SINGLESTEP is a ptrace request designed to offer single-stepping support to userspace when the underlying architecture has hardware support for this operation. On ARM, we set arch_has_single_step() to 1 and attempt to emulate hardware single-stepping by disassembling the current instruction to determine the next pc and placing a software breakpoint on that location. Unfortunately this has the following problems: 1.) Only a subset of ARMv7 instructions are supported 2.) Thumb-2 is unsupported 3.) The code is not SMP safe We could try to fix this code, but it turns out that because of the above issues it is rarely used in practice. GDB, for example, uses PTRACE_POKETEXT and PTRACE_PEEKTEXT to manage breakpoints itself and does not require any kernel assistance. This patch removes the single-step emulation code from ptrace meaning that the PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request will return -EIO on ARM. Portable code must check the return value from a ptrace call and handle the failure gracefully.

In commit e616c591, highmem support was deactivated for SMP platforms without hardware TLB ops broadcast because usage of kmap_high_get() requires that IRQs be disabled when kmap_lock is locked which is incompatible with the IPI mechanism used by the software TLB ops broadcast invoked through flush_all_zero_pkmaps(). The reason for kmap_high_get() is to ensure that the currently kmap'd page usage count does not decrease to zero while we're using its existing virtual mapping in an atomic context. With a VIVT cache this is essential to do due to cache coherency issues, but with a VIPT cache this is only an optimization so not to pay the price of establishing a second mapping if an existing one can be used. However, on VIPT platforms without hardware TLB maintenance we can give up on that optimization in order to be able to use highmem. From ARMv7 onwards the TLB ops are broadcasted in hardware, so let's disable ARCH_NEEDS_KMAP_HIGH_GET only when CONFIG_SMP and CONFIG_CPU_TLB_V6 are defined.

We have 'install' and 'zinstall' for installing Image and zImage kernels, so add 'uinstall' to complete the set. This allows developers to have a ~/bin/installkernel script which (eg) copies the kernel to the tftp server automatically once the kernel has built, resulting in a better workflow.

Achieve better usage of the DMA coherent region by doing top-down allocation rather than bottom up. If we ask for a 128kB allocation, this will be aligned to 128kB and satisfied from the very bottom address. If we then ask for a 600kB allocation, this will be aligned to 1MB, and we will have a 896kB hole. Performing top-down allocation resolves this by allocating the 128kB at the very top, and then the 600kB can come in below it without any unnecessary wastage. This problem was reported by Janusz Krzysztofik, who had 2 x 128kB + 1 x 640kB allocations which wouldn't fit into 1MB.

Since the debug macros no longer depend on the machine type information, the machine type lookup can be deferred to setup_arch() in setup.c which simplifies the code somewhat. We also move the __error_a functionality into setup.c for displaying a message when a bad machine ID is passed to the kernel via the LL debug code. We also log this into the kernel ring buffer which makes it possible to retrieve the message via a debugger. Original idea from Grant Likely.
