Patch from David Brownell
ARM genirq cleanups/updates:
- Start switching platforms to newer APIs
* use "irq_chip" name, not "irqchip"
* providing irq_chip.name
- Show irq_chip.name in /proc/interrupts, like on x86.
This update a bit more than half of the ARM code. The irq_chip.name
values were chosen to match docs (if I have them) or be otherwise
obvious ("FPGA", "CPLD", or matching the code).

This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.
It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.
This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.
For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.
Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.

Patch from Thomas Gleixner
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Switch the ARM irq core handling to the generic implementation. The
ARM specific header files now contain mostly migration stubs and
helper macros. Note that each machine type must be converted after
this step seperately. This was seperated out from the patch for easier
review.
The main changes for the machine type code is the conversion of the
type handlers to a 'type flow' and 'chip' model. This affects only the
multiplex interrupt handlers. A conversion macro needs to be added to
those implementations, which defines the data structure which is
registered by the set_irq_chained_handler() macro.
Some minor fixups of include files and the conversion of data
structure access is necessary all over the place.
The mostly macro based conversion was provided to allow an easy
migration of the existing implementations.
The code compiles on all defconfigs available in arch/arm/configs
except those which were broken also before applying the conversion
patches.
The code has been boot and runtime tested on most ARM platforms. The
results of an extensive testing and bugfixing series can be found

On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the
cache when written to". On others, this bit is required to
be one, and others it's required to be zero. Finally, on
ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents
speculative prefetches.
With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we
have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area
we're mapping.

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime. I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.
I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.
In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add. But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu(). When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.
This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.
This removes node arguments from register_cpu().
Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument. But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch). We can get struct node in generic way. So, this argument is not
necessary now.
This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined. It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs. cpu-hot-add patch following this.
Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument. This patch removes it.
Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the
kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't
present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions
into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable.
Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can
hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem
(eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

The old-abi sys_syscall syscall is broken when called from Thumb mode. It
assumes the syscall number is an Arm syscall number (ie. starts from
__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE). In thumb mode syscall numbers start from zero.
The patch below fixes this by clearing the nigh bits of the syscall number
instead of inverting them. Technically this means we accept some invalid

numbers far apart that unimplemented syscalls should still be rejected.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
xsc3. The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits. In addition,
we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.
Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
function as that still requires a special PTE setting. We also don't
touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
definition only used on non-coherent system.

The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a
kernel address. If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is
aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag. This clearing
of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE.
However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case.
Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the

ARM entry-common.S needs to know syscall table size; in itself that would
not be a problem, but there's an additional constraint - some of the
instructions using it want a constant that would be a multiple of 4.
So we have to pad syscall table with sys_ni_syscall and that's where
the trouble begins. .rept pseudo-op wants a constant expression for
number of repetitions and subtraction of two labels (before and after
syscall table) doesn't always get simplified to constant early enough
for .rept. If labels end up in different frags, we lose. And while
the frag size is large enough (slightly below 4Kb), the syscall table
is about 1/3 of that. We used to get away with that, but the recent
changes had been enough to trigger the breakage.
Proper fix is simple: have a macro (CALL(x)) to populate the table
instead of using explicit .long x and the first time we include calls.S
have it defined to .equ NR_syscalls,NR_syscalls+1. Then we can find
the proper amount of padding on the first inclusion simply by looking
at NR_syscalls at that time. And that will be constant, no matter what.
Moreover, the same trick kills the need of having an estimate of padded
NR_syscalls - it will be calculated for free at the same time.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM.
Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which
requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number
and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the
syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents
an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support
is the right thing to do.
It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number
into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument
are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments
should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number.
Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length):
legacy ABI:
- put fd into r0
- put length into r1-r2
- use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel
new ARM EABI:
- put fd into r0
- put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1)
- put 194 into r7
- use "swi 0" to call the kernel
Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward
compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this.
The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support
both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

If the low interrupt latency mode is enabled for the CPU (from ARMv6

restoring the sp and pc registers can be interrupted immediately after sp
was updated but before the pc. If this happens, the CPU restores the base
register to the value before the ldm instruction but if the base register
is not sp, the interrupt routine will corrupt the stack and the restarted
ldm instruction will load garbage.

Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to
detect various interrupt edges and/or levels. For some platforms, this is
critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent
on the device.
Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following:
err = request_irq(irq, ...);
set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING);
However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive
(for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm.
Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set
the type prior to unmasking the interrupt. The unfortunate problem is that in
order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM
architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're
cross-architecture.
Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the
property that the device would like. The IRQ controller code should do its
best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping.
Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back

This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in

and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used
to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.
* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
(IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
to the idle thread.
- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
the idle task.
POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a
sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but
SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Prepare arm for the split page_table_lock: three issues.
Signal handling's preserve and restore of iwmmxt context currently involves
reading and writing that context to and from user space, while holding
page_table_lock to secure the user page(s) against kswapd. If we split the
lock, then the structure might span two pages, secured by to read into and
write from a kernel stack buffer, copying that out and in without locking (the
structure is 160 bytes in size, and here we're near the top of the kernel
stack). Or would the overhead be noticeable?
arm_syscall's cmpxchg emulation use pte_offset_map_lock, instead of
pte_offset_map and mm-wide page_table_lock; and strictly, it should now also
take mmap_sem before descending to pmd, to guard against another thread
munmapping, and the page table pulled out beneath this thread.
Updated two comments in fault-armv.c. adjust_pte is interesting, since its
modification of a pte in one part of the mm depends on the lock held when
calling update_mmu_cache for a pte in some other part of that mm. This can't
be done with a split page_table_lock (and we've already taken the lowest lock
in the hierarchy here): so we'll have to disable split on arm, unless
CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT to ensures adjust_pte never used.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The prototype for sys_fadvise64_64() is:
long sys_fadvise64_64(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t len, int advice)
The argument list is therefore as follows on legacy ABI:
fd: type int (r0)
offset: type long long (r1-r2)
len: type long long (r3-sp[0])
advice: type int (sp[4])
With EABI this becomes:
fd: type int (r0)
offset: type long long (r2-r3)
len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
advice: type int (sp[8])
Not only do we have ABI differences here, but the EABI version requires
one additional word on the syscall stack.
To avoid the ABI mismatch and the extra stack space required with EABI
this syscall is now defined with a different argument ordering
on ARM as follows:
long sys_arm_fadvise64_64(int fd, int advice, loff_t offset, loff_t len)
This gives us the following ABI independent argument distribution:
fd: type int (r0)
advice: type int (r1)
offset: type long long (r2-r3)
len: type long long (sp[0]-sp[4])
Now, since the syscall entry code takes care of 5 registers only by
default including the store of r4 to the stack, we need a wrapper to
store r5 to the stack as well. Because that wrapper was missing and was
always required this means that sys_fadvise64_64 never worked on ARM and
therefore we can safely reuse its syscall number for our new
sys_arm_fadvise64_64 interface.

It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it. I've written a
program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
NetBSD 2.0 *).
The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
handled is not blocked.
The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
the way most Unix boxes work.
Unix boxes that were tested: DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
* NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
Linux. So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
behaves differently here with #2.

This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).
Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October. The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined. This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c
I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
- Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
a normal interrupt
- if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
- generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
- added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
of this feature

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
present or not.
