ARM: KVM: Remove unused hyp_pc field

2016-02-29T18:34:15+00:00

This field was never populated, and the panic code already
does something similar. Delete the related code.

ARM: KVM: Cleanup asm-offsets.c

2016-02-29T18:34:15+00:00

Since we don't have much assembler left, most of the KVM stuff
in asm-offsets.c is now superfluous. Let's get rid of it.

ARM: KVM: Move CP15 array into the CPU context structure

2016-02-29T18:34:12+00:00

Continuing our rework of the CPU context, we now move the CP15
array into the CPU context structure. As this causes quite a bit
of churn, we introduce the vcpu_cp15() macro that abstract the
location of the actual array. This will probably help next time
we have to revisit that code.

ARM: KVM: Move VFP registers to a CPU context structure

2016-02-29T18:34:12+00:00

In order to turn the WS code into something that looks a bit
more like the arm64 version, move the VFP registers into a
CPU context container for both the host and the guest.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm

2015-04-15T04:03:26+00:00

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Included in this update are both some long term fixes and some new
  features.

  Fixes:

   - An integer overflow in the calculation of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE.

   - Avoiding OOMs for high-order IOMMU allocations

   - SMP requires the data cache to be enabled for synchronisation
     primitives to work, so prevent the CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE option being
     visible on SMP builds.

   - A bug going back 10+ years in the noMMU ARM94* CPU support code,
     where it corrupts registers.  Found by folk getting Linux running
     on their cameras.

   - Versatile Express needs an errata workaround enabled for CPU
     hot-unplug to work.

  Features:

   - Clean up module linker by handling out of range relocations
     separately from relocation cases we don't handle.

   - Fix a long term bug in the pci_mmap_page_range() code, which we
     hope won't impact userspace (we hope there's no users of the
     existing broken interface.)

   - Don't map DMA coherent allocations when we don't have a MMU.

   - Drop experimental status for SMP_ON_UP.

   - Warn when DT doesn't specify ePAPR mandatory cache properties.

   - Add documentation concerning how we find the start of physical
     memory for AUTO_ZRELADDR kernels, detailing why we have chosen the
     mask and the implications of changing it.

   - Updates from Ard Biesheuvel to address some issues with large
     kernels (such as allyesconfig) failing to link.

   - Allow hibernation to work on modern (ARMv7) CPUs - this appears to
     have never worked in the past on these CPUs.

   - Enable IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL, which changes the /proc/interrupts output
     format (hopefully without userspace breaking...  let's hope that if
     it causes someone a problem, they tell us.)

   - Fix tegra-ahb DT offsets.

   - Rework ARM errata 643719 code (and ARMv7 flush_cache_louis()/
     flush_dcache_all()) code to be more efficient, and enable this
     errata workaround by default for ARMv7+SMP CPUs.  This complements
     the Versatile Express fix above.

   - Rework ARMv7 context code for errata 430973, so that only Cortex A8
     CPUs are impacted by the branch target buffer flush when this
     errata is enabled.  Also update the help text to indicate that all
     r1p* A8 CPUs are impacted.

   - Switch ARM to the generic show_mem() implementation, it conveys all
     the information which we were already reporting.

   - Prevent slow timer sources being used for udelay() - timers running
     at less than 1MHz are not useful for this, and can cause udelay()
     to return immediately, without any wait.  Using such a slow timer
     is silly.

   - VDSO support for 32-bit ARM, mainly for gettimeofday() using the
     ARM architected timer.

   - Perf support for Scorpion performance monitoring units"

vdso semantic conflict fixed up as per linux-next.

arm: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

ARM: 8330/1: add VDSO user-space code

2015-03-27T22:20:45+00:00

Place VDSO-related user-space code in arch/arm/kernel/vdso/.

It is almost completely written in C with some assembly helpers to
load the data page address, sample the counter, and fall back to
system calls when necessary.

The VDSO can service gettimeofday and clock_gettime when
CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER is enabled and the architected timer is present
(and correctly configured).  It reads the CP15-based virtual counter
to compute high-resolution timestamps.

Of particular note is that a post-processing step ("vdsomunge") is
necessary to produce a shared object which is architecturally allowed
to be used by both soft- and hard-float EABI programs.

The 2012 edition of the ARM ABI defines Tag_ABI_VFP_args = 3 "Code is
compatible with both the base and VFP variants; the user did not
permit non-variadic functions to pass FP parameters/results."
Unfortunately current toolchains do not support this tag, which is
ideally what we would use.

The best available option is to ensure that both EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT
and EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD are unset in the ELF header's e_flags,
indicating that the shared object is "old" and should be accepted for
backward compatibility's sake.  While binutils < 2.24 appear to
produce a vdso.so with both flags clear, 2.24 always sets
EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT, with no way to inhibit this behavior.  So we
have to fix things up with a custom post-processing step.

In fact, the VDSO code in glibc does much less validation (including
checking these flags) than the code for handling conventional
file-backed shared libraries, so this is a bit moot unless glibc's
VDSO code becomes more strict.

arm/arm64: KVM: Kill CONFIG_KVM_ARM_{VGIC,TIMER}

2015-03-12T14:15:27+00:00

We can definitely decide at run-time whether to use the GIC and timers
or not, and the extra code and data structures that we allocate space
for is really negligable with this config option, so I don't think it's
worth the extra complexity of always having to define stub static
inlines.  The !CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC/TIMER case is pretty much an untested
code path anyway, so we're better off just getting rid of it.
