Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm

2012-03-29T23:53:48+00:00

Pull more ARM updates from Russell King.

This got a fair number of conflicts with the  split, but
also with some other sparse-irq and header file include cleanups.  They
all looked pretty trivial, though.

ARM: Add compiled ISA to oops dumps

2012-03-24T09:38:52+00:00

Add the compiled ISA to oops dumps, along side the preempt/smp
configuration.  This allows us to see immediately whether the kernel
was compiled for Thumb-2 or not.

ARM: 7322/1: Print BUG instead of undefined instruction on BUG_ON()

2012-02-09T16:25:37+00:00

The ARM kernel uses undefined instructions to implement
BUG/BUG_ON(). This leads to problems where people don't read one
line above the Oops message and see the "kernel BUG at ..."
message and so they wrongly assume the kernel has hit an
undefined instruction.

Instead of printing:

 Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

print

 Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

This should prevent people from thinking the BUG_ON was an
undefined instruction when it was actually intentional.

ARM: earlier initialization of vectors page

2012-01-23T10:24:11+00:00

Initialize the contents of the vectors page immediately after we
allocate the page, but before we map it.  This avoids any possible
aliases with other mappings which may need to be flushed after the
page has been mapped irrespective of the cache type.

We follow this later with a flush_cache_all() after all static memory
mappings have been initialized, which ensures that this is safe from
any cache effects.

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.
