Revert "ARM: 7830/1: delay: don't bother reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo"

2015-01-26T13:39:06+00:00

commit 4bf9636c39ac70da091d5a2e28d3448eaa7f115c upstream.

Commit 9fc2105aeaaf ("ARM: 7830/1: delay: don't bother reporting
bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo") breaks audio in python, and probably
elsewhere, with message

  FATAL: cannot locate cpu MHz in /proc/cpuinfo

I'm not the first one to hit it, see for example

  https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/765800/workaround-for-fatal-cannot-locate-cpu-mhz-in-proc-cpuinf/?offset=1

Reading original changelog, I have to say "Stop breaking working setups.
You know who you are!".

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Olof Johansson:
 "This branch contains code cleanups, moves and removals for 3.12.

  There's a large number of various cleanups, and a nice net removal of
  13500 lines of code.

  Highlights worth mentioning are:

   - A series of patches from Stephen Boyd removing the ARM local timer
     API.
   - Move of Qualcomm MSM IOMMU code to drivers/iommu.
   - Samsung PWM driver cleanups from Tomasz Figa, removing legacy PWM
     driver and switching over to the drivers/pwm one.
   - Removal of some unusued auto-generated headers for OMAP2+ (PRM/CM).

  There's also a move of a header file out of include/linux/i2c/ to
  platform_data, where it really belongs.  It touches mostly ARM
  platform code for include changes so we took it through our tree"

ARM: 7830/1: delay: don't bother reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo

2013-09-02T12:50:00+00:00

Now that we support a timer-backed delay loop, I'm quickly getting sick
and tired of people complaining that their beloved bogomips value has
decreased. You know who you are!

This patch removes the bogomips line from /proc/cpuinfo, based on the
reasoning that any program parsing this is already broken and, as such,
won't be further broken if the field is removed.

ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support

2013-08-13T19:23:18+00:00

Architectures should fully validate whether kexec is possible as part of
machine_kexec_prepare(), so that user-space's kexec_load() operation can
report any problems. Performing validation in machine_kexec() itself is
too late, since it is not allowed to return.

Prior to this patch, ARM's machine_kexec() was testing after-the-fact
whether machine_kexec_prepare() was able to disable all but one CPU.
Instead, modify machine_kexec_prepare() to validate all conditions
necessary for machine_kexec_prepare()'s to succeed. BUG if the validation
succeeded, yet disabling the CPUs didn't actually work.

Merge tag 'remove-local-timers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davidb/linux-msm into next/cleanup

2013-07-23T23:54:15+00:00

From Stephen Boyd:

Now that we have a generic arch hook for broadcast we can remove the
local timer API entirely. Doing so will reduce code in ARM core, reduce
the architecture dependencies of our timer drivers, and simplify the code
because we no longer go through an architecture layer that is essentially
a hotplug notifier.

arm: delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from all ARM users

2013-07-14T23:36:52+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code,
and all __CPUINIT from assembly code.  It also had two ".previous"
section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT
(aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.
