ARM: 7017/1: Use generic BUG() handler

2011-10-17T08:13:41+00:00

ARM uses its own BUG() handler which makes its output slightly different
from other archtectures.

One of the problems is that the ARM implementation doesn't report the function
with the BUG() in it, but always reports the PC being in __bug(). The generic
implementation doesn't have this problem.

Currently we get something like:

kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35!
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
...
PC is at __bug+0x20/0x2c

With this patch it displays:

kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35!
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
...
PC is at write_breakme+0xd0/0x1b4

This implementation uses an undefined instruction to implement BUG, and sets up
a bug table containing the relevant information. Many versions of gcc do not
support %c properly for ARM (inserting a # when they shouldn't) so we work
around this using distasteful macro magic.

v1: Initial version to replace existing ARM BUG() implementation with something
more similar to other architectures.

v2: Add Thumb support, remove backtrace whitespace output changes. Change to
use macros instead of requiring the asm %d flag to work (thanks to
Dave Martin )

v3: Remove old BUG() implementation in favor of this one.
Remove the Backtrace: message (will submit this separately).
Use ARM_EXIT_KEEP() so that some architectures can dump exit text at link time
thanks to Stephen Boyd  (although since we always
define GENERIC_BUG this might be academic.)
Rebase to linux-2.6.git master.

v4: Allow BUGS in modules (these were not reported correctly in v3)
(thanks to Stephen Boyd  for suggesting that.)
Remove __bug() as this is no longer needed.

v5: Add %progbits as the section flags.

ARM: 7115/4: move __exception and friends to asm/exception.h

2011-10-17T08:02:44+00:00

The definition of __exception_irq_entry for
CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y needs linux/ftrace.h, but this creates a
circular dependency with it's current home in asm/system.h. Create
asm/exception.h and update all current users.

v4:	- rebase to rmk/for-next
v3:	- remove redundant includes of linux/ftrace.h
v2:	- document the usage restricitions of __exception*

locking, ARM: Annotate low level hw locks as raw

2011-09-13T09:12:14+00:00

Annotate the low level hardware locks which must not be preempted.

In mainline this change documents the low level nature of
the lock - otherwise there's no functional difference. Lockdep
and Sparse checking will work as usual.

ARM: Thumb-2: Support Thumb-2 in undefined instruction handler

2011-07-13T17:32:40+00:00

This patch allows undef_hook's to be specified for 32-bit Thumb
instructions and also to be used for thumb kernel-side code.

32-bit Thumb instructions are specified in the form:
	((first_half << 16 ) | second_half)
which matches the layout used by the ARM ARM.

ptrace was handling 32-bit Thumb instructions by hooking the first
halfword and manually checking the second half. This method would be
broken by this patch so it is migrated to make use of the new Thumb-2
support.

ARM: extend Code: line by one 16-bit quantity for Thumb instructions

2011-06-09T22:55:45+00:00

Dump out the following 16-bit instruction to the faulting instruction
in the Code: line.  This allows Thumb-2 instructions to be properly
encoded.

ARM: 6955/1: cmpxchg syscall should data abort if page not write

If the page to cmpxchg is user mode read only (not write),
we should simulate a data abort first.

sysfs: remove "last sysfs file:" line from the oops messages

2011-05-13T23:05:51+00:00

On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.

This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.

So it's time to delete the line.  This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.
