arm64: restore bogomips information in /proc/cpuinfo

2016-01-31T19:25:55+00:00

commit 92e788b749862ebe9920360513a718e5dd4da7a9 upstream.

As previously reported, some userspace applications depend on bogomips
showed by /proc/cpuinfo. Although there is much less legacy impact on
aarch64 than arm, it does break libvirt.

This patch reverts commit 326b16db9f69 ("arm64: delay: don't bother
reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo"), but with some tweak due to
context change and without the pr_info().

arm64: Don't relocate non-existent initrd

2015-10-06T17:33:15+00:00

When booting a kernel without an initrd, the kernel reports that it
moves -1 bytes worth, having gone through the motions with initrd_start
equal to initrd_end:

    Moving initrd from [4080000000-407fffffff] to [9fff49000-9fff48fff]

Prevent this by bailing out early when the initrd size is zero (i.e. we
have no initrd), avoiding the confusing message and other associated
work.

arm64: support initrd outside kernel linear map

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

The use of mem= could leave part or all of the initrd outside of the
kernel linear map.  This will lead to an error when unpacking the initrd
and a probable failure to boot.  This patch catches that situation and
relocates the initrd to be fully within the linear map.

2015-09-04T14:18:09+00:00

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:

 - Support for new architectural features introduced in ARMv8.1:
   * Privileged Access Never (PAN) to catch user pointer dereferences in
     the kernel
   * Large System Extension (LSE) for building scalable atomics and locks
     (depends on locking/arch-atomic from tip, which is included here)
   * Hardware Dirty Bit Management (DBM) for updating clean PTEs
     automatically

 - Move our PSCI implementation out into drivers/firmware/, where it can
   be shared with arch/arm/. RMK has also pulled this component branch
   and has additional patches moving arch/arm/ over. MAINTAINERS is
   updated accordingly.

 - Better BUG implementation based on the BRK instruction for trapping

 - Leaf TLB invalidation for unmapping user pages

 - Support for PROBE_ONLY PCI configurations

 - Various cleanups and non-critical fixes, including:
   * Always flush FP/SIMD state over exec()
   * Restrict memblock additions based on range of linear mapping
   * Ensure *(LIST_POISON) generates a fatal fault
   * Context-tracking syscall return no longer corrupts return value when
     not forced on.
   * Alternatives patching synchronisation/stability improvements
   * Signed sub-word cmpxchg compare fix (tickled by HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL)
   * Force SMP=y
   * Hide direct DCC access from userspace
   * Fix EFI stub memory allocation when DRAM starts at 0x0

 "Included in this update:

   - moving PSCI code from ARM64/ARM to drivers/

   - removal of some architecture internals from global kernel view

   - addition of software based "privileged no access" support using the
     old domains register to turn off the ability for kernel
     loads/stores to access userspace.  Only the proper accessors will
     be usable.

   - addition of early fixup support for early console

   - re-addition (and reimplementation) of OMAP special interconnect
     barrier

   - removal of finish_arch_switch()

   - only expose cpuX/online in sysfs if hotpluggable

Merge branch 'aarch64/psci/drivers' into aarch64/for-next/core

arm64: psci: factor invocation code to drivers

2015-08-03T11:33:39+00:00

To enable sharing with arm, move the core PSCI framework code to
drivers/firmware. This results in a minor gain in lines of code, but
this will quickly be amortised by the removal of code currently
duplicated in arch/arm.
