2013-01-16ARM: perf: don't pretend to support counting of L1I writesWill Deacon
ARM has a harvard cache architecture and cannot write directly to the I-side. This patch removes the L1I write events from the cache map (which previously returned *read* events in many cases). Reported-by: Mike Williams <michael.williams@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

2013-01-10ARM: hw_breakpoint: Debug powerdown support for self-hosted debugDietmar Eggemann
This patch introduces debug powerdown support for self-hosted debug for v7 and v7.1 debug architecture for a SinglePower system, i.e. a system without a separate core and debug power domain. On a SinglePower system the OS Lock is lost over a powerdown. If CONFIG_CPU_PM is set the new function pm_init() registers hw_breakpoint with CPU PM for a system supporting OS Save and Restore. Receiving a CPU PM EXIT notifier indicates that a single CPU has exited a low power state. A call to reset_ctrl_regs() is hooked into the CPU PM EXIT notifier chain. This function makes sure that the sticky power-down is clear (only v7 debug), the OS Double Lock is clear (only v7.1 debug) and it clears the OS Lock for v7 debug (for a system supporting OS Save and Restore) and v7.1 debug. Furthermore, it clears any vector-catch events and all breakpoint/watchpoint control/value registers for v7 and v7.1 debug.

2013-01-10ARM: hw_breakpoint: Check function for OS Save and Restore mechanismDietmar Eggemann
v7 debug introduced OS Save and Restore mechanism. On a v7 debug SinglePower system, i.e a system without a separate core and debug power domain, which does not support external debug over powerdown, it is implementation defined whether OS Save and Restore is implemented. v7.1 debug requires OS Save and Restore mechanism. v6 debug and v6.1 debug do not implement it. A new global variable bool has_ossr is introduced and is determined in arch_hw_breakpoint_init() like debug_arch or the number of BRPs/WRPs. The logic how to check if OS Save and Restore is supported has changed with this patch. In reset_ctrl_regs() a mask consisting of OSLM[1] (OSLSR.3) and OSLM[0] (OSLSR.0) was used to check if the system supports OS Save and Restore. In the new function core_has_os_save_restore() only OSLM[0] is used. It is not necessary to check OSLM[1] too since it is v7.1 debug specific and v7.1 debug requires OS Save and Restore and thus OS Lock.

2013-01-10ARM: coresight: common definition for (OS) Lock Access Register key valueDietmar Eggemann
Coresight components and debug are using a common lock control mechansim. Writing 0xC5ACCE55 to the Lock Access Register (LAR) in case of a coresight components enables further access to the coresight device registers. Writing any other value to it removes the write access. Writing 0xC5ACCE55 to the OS Lock Access Register (OSLAR) in case of debug locks the debug register for further access to the debug registers. Writing any other value to it unlocks the debug registers. Unfortunately, the existing coresight code uses the terms lock and unlock the other way around. Unlocking stands for enabling write access and locking for removing write access. That is why the definition of the LAR and OSLAR key value has been changed to CS_LAR_KEY.

2013-01-10ARM: virt: simplify __hyp_stub_install epilogMarc Zyngier
__hyp_stub_install duplicates quite a bit of safe_svcmode_maskall by forcing the CPU back to SVC. This is unnecessary, as safe_svcmode_maskall is called just after. Furthermore, the way we build SPSR_hyp is buggy as we fail to mask the interrupts, leading to interesting behaviours on TC2 + UEFI. The fix is to simply remove this code and rely on safe_svcmode_maskall to do the right thing.

This will enable moving timer drivers into drivers/clocksource without having to place a public prototype of each struct sys_timer object into include/linux; the intent is to create a single of_clocksource_init() function that determines which timer driver to initialize by scanning the device dtree, much like the proposed irqchip_init() at: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg203686.html Includes mach-omap2 fixes from Igor Grinberg.

2012-12-24time: convert arch_gettimeoffset to a pointerStephen Warren
Currently, whenever CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET is enabled, each arch core provides a single implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). In many cases, different sub-architectures, different machines, or different timer providers exist, and so the arch ends up implementing arch_gettimeoffset() as a call-through-pointer anyway. Examples are ARM, Cris, M68K, and it's arguable that the remaining architectures, M32R and Blackfin, should be doing this anyway. Modify arch_gettimeoffset so that it itself is a function pointer, which the arch initializes. This will allow later changes to move the initialization of this function into individual machine support or timer drivers. This is particularly useful for code in drivers/clocksource which should rely on an arch-independant mechanism to register their implementation of arch_gettimeoffset(). This patch also converts the Cris architecture to set arch_gettimeoffset directly to the final implementation in time_init(), because Cris already had separate time_init() functions per sub-architecture. M68K and ARM are converted to set arch_gettimeoffset to the final implementation in later patches, because they already have function pointers in place for this purpose.

2012-12-11ARM: 7595/1: syscall: rework ordering in syscall_trace_exitWill Deacon
syscall_trace_exit is currently doing things back-to-front; invoking the audit hook *after* signalling the debugger, which presents an opportunity for the registers to be re-written by userspace in order to bypass auditing constaints. This patch fixes the ordering by moving the audit code first and the tracehook code last. On the face of it, it looks like current_thread_info()->syscall may be incorrect for the sys_exit tracepoint, but that's actually not an issue because it will have been set during syscall entry and cannot have changed since then.

2012-12-03ARM: 7587/1: implement optimized percpu variable accessRob Herring
Use the previously unused TPIDRPRW register to store percpu offsets. TPIDRPRW is only accessible in PL1, so it can only be used in the kernel. This replaces 2 loads with a mrc instruction for each percpu variable access. With hackbench, the performance improvement is 1.4% on Cortex-A9 (highbank). Taking an average of 30 runs of "hackbench -l 1000" yields: Before: 6.2191 After: 6.1348 Will Deacon reported similar delta on v6 with 11MPCore. The asm "memory clobber" are needed here to ensure the percpu offset gets reloaded. Testing by Will found that this would not happen in __schedule() which is a bit of a special case as preemption is disabled but the execution can move cores.

2012-11-23ARM: 7585/1: kernel: fix nr_cpu_ids check in DT logical map initLorenzo Pieralisi
If a kernel is configured with a DT containing more /cpu nodes than nr_cpu_ids, the number of cpus must be capped in the DT parsing code. Current code carries out the check, but fails to cap the value and the check is executed after the cpu logical index is used, which can lead to memory corruption due to index overflow. This patch refactors the check against nr_cpu_ids and move it before any computed index is used in the parsing code.

2012-11-19ARM: kernel: add cpu logical map DT init in setup_archLorenzo Pieralisi
As soon as the device tree is unflattened the cpu logical to physical mapping is carried out in setup_arch to build a proper array of MPIDR and corresponding logical indexes. The mapping could have been carried out using the flattened DT blob and related primitives, but since the mapping is not needed by early boot code it can safely be executed when the device tree has been uncompressed to its tree data structure. This patch adds the arm_dt_init_cpu maps() function call in setup_arch(). If the kernel is not compiled with DT support the function is empty and no logical mapping takes place through it; the mapping carried out in smp_setup_processor_id() is left unchanged. If DT is supported the mapping created in smp_setup_processor_id() is overriden. The DT mapping also sets the possible cpus mask, hence platform code need not set it again in the respective smp_init_cpus() functions.

2012-11-19ARM: kernel: add device tree init map functionLorenzo Pieralisi
When booting through a device tree, the kernel cpu logical id map can be initialized using device tree data passed by FW or through an embedded blob. This patch adds a function that parses device tree "cpu" nodes and retrieves the corresponding CPUs hardware identifiers (MPIDR). It sets the possible cpus and the cpu logical map values according to the number of CPUs defined in the device tree and respective properties. The device tree HW identifiers are considered valid if all CPU nodes contain a "reg" property, there are no duplicate "reg" entries and the DT defines a CPU node whose "reg" property matches the MPIDR[23:0] of the boot CPU. The primary CPU is assigned cpu logical number 0 to keep the current convention valid.

The function now prints the full extent of the boot CPU MPIDR[23:0] and initializes the cpu_logical_map for CPUs up to nr_cpu_ids.

2012-11-19ARM: kernel: update cpuinfo to print all online CPUs featuresLorenzo Pieralisi
Currently, reading /proc/cpuinfo provides userspace with CPU ID of the CPU carrying out the read from the file. This is fine as long as all CPUs in the system are the same. With the advent of big.LITTLE and heterogenous ARM systems this approach provides user space with incorrect bits of information since CPU ids in the system might differ from the one provided by the CPU reading the file. This patch updates the cpuinfo show function so that a read from /proc/cpuinfo prints HW information for all online CPUs at once, mirroring x86 behaviour.

On tracehook-friendly platforms, a system call number of -1 falls through without running much code or taking much action. ARM is different. This adds a short-circuit check in the trace path to avoid any additional work, as suggested by Russell King, to make sure that ARM behaves the same way as other platforms.
