ARM: 8739/1: NOMMU: Setup VBAR/Hivecs for secondaries cores

2018-01-21T15:32:23+00:00

With switch to dynamic exception base address setting, VBAR/Hivecs
set only for boot CPU, but secondaries stay unaware of that. That
might lead to weird effects when trying up to bring up secondaries.

ARM: 8708/1: NOMMU: Rework MPU to be mostly done in C

2017-10-23T15:58:59+00:00

Currently, there are several issues with how MPU is setup:

 1. We won't boot if MPU is missing
 2. We won't boot if use XIP
 3. Further extension of MPU setup requires asm skills

The 1st point can be relaxed, so we can continue with boot CPU even if
MPU is missed and fail boot for secondaries only. To address the 2nd
point we could create region covering CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR - _end and
that might work for the first stage of MPU enable, but due to MPU's
alignment requirement we could cover too much, IOW we need more
flexibility in how we're partitioning memory regions... and it'd be
hardly possible to archive because of the 3rd point.

This patch is trying to address 1st and 3rd issues and paves the path
for 2nd and further improvements.

The most visible change introduced with this patch is that we start
using mpu_rgn_info array (as it was supposed?), so change in MPU setup
done by boot CPU is recorded there and feed to secondaries. It
allows us to keep minimal region setup for boot CPU and do the rest in
C. Since we start programming MPU regions in C evaluation of MPU
constrains (number of regions supported and minimal region order) can
be done once, which in turn open possibility to free-up "probe"
region early.

arm: Adjust system_state check

2017-05-23T08:01:35+00:00

To enable smp_processor_id() and might_sleep() debug checks earlier, it's
required to add system states between SYSTEM_BOOTING and SYSTEM_RUNNING.

Adjust the system_state check in ipi_cpu_stop() to handle the extra states.

mm: add new mmgrab() helper

2017-02-28T02:43:48+00:00

Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:

  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/'
  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/'

This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

(Michal Hocko provided most of the kerneldoc comment.)

nmi_backtrace: do a local dump_stack() instead of a self-NMI

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

Currently on arm there is code that checks whether it should call
dump_stack() explicitly, to avoid trying to raise an NMI when the
current context is not preemptible by the backtrace IPI.  Similarly, the
forthcoming arch/tile support uses an IPI mechanism that does not
support generating an NMI to self.

Accordingly, move the code that guards this case into the generic
mechanism, and invoke it unconditionally whenever we want a backtrace of
the current cpu.  It seems plausible that in all cases, dump_stack()
will generate better information than generating a stack from the NMI
handler.  The register state will be missing, but that state is likely
not particularly helpful in any case.

Or, if we think it is helpful, we should be capturing and emitting the
current register state in all cases when regs == NULL is passed to
nmi_cpu_backtrace().
