ARM: 8757/1: NOMMU: Support PMSAv8 MPU

2018-05-19T10:53:46+00:00

ARMv8R/M architecture defines new memory protection scheme - PMSAv8
which is not compatible with PMSAv7.

Key differences to PMSAv7 are:
 - Region geometry is defined by base and limit addresses
 - Addresses need to be either 32 or 64 byte aligned
 - No region priority due to overlapping regions are not allowed
 - It is unified, i.e. no distinction between data/instruction regions
 - Memory attributes are controlled via MAIR

This patch implements support for PMSAv8 MPU defined by ARMv8R/M
architecture.

ARM: simplify and fix linker script for TCM

2018-03-10T01:20:43+00:00

Let's put the TCM stuff in the __init section directly. No need for
a separately freed memory area.

Remove redundant linker sections, as well as comments that were more
confusing than no comments at all. Finally make it XIP compatible by
using LOAD_OFFSET in the section LMA specification.

ARM: linker script: factor out TCM bits

2018-03-10T01:20:22+00:00

This is a plain move with identical results, and therefore
still broken in the XIP case.

ARM: linker script: factor out stuff for the .text section

2018-03-10T01:19:45+00:00

Move common entries to vmlinux.lds.h as ARM_TEXT.

ARM: linker script: factor out stuff for the DISCARD section

2018-03-10T01:19:35+00:00

Move common entries to vmlinux.lds.h and leave XIP and non-XIP entries
in their respective file. The ARM_NOMMU_KEEP() and ARM_NOMMU_DISCARD()
macros are added to be usable within the definition of ARM_DISCARD macro.

ARM: linker script: factor out some common definitions between XIP and non-XIP

2018-03-10T01:19:01+00:00

Lots of duplications between vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux-xip.lds.S.
This may lead to one file being updated but not the other. For example,
SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT and HYPERVISOR_TEXT were missing from the XIP version.

This creates vmlinux.lds.h where a bunch of common defines are moved.

ARM: probes: avoid adding kprobes to sensitive kernel-entry/exit code

2017-12-17T22:14:21+00:00

Avoid adding kprobes to any of the kernel entry/exit or startup
assembly code, or code in the identity-mapped region.  This code does
not conform to the standard C conventions, which means that the
expectations of the kprobes code is not forfilled.

Placing kprobes at some of these locations results in the kernel trying
to return to userspace addresses while retaining the CPU in kernel mode.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm

2017-11-16T20:50:35+00:00

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:

 - add support for ELF fdpic binaries on both MMU and noMMU platforms

 - linker script cleanups

 - support for compressed .data section for XIP images

 - discard memblock arrays when possible

 - various cleanups

 - atomic DMA pool updates

 - better diagnostics of missing/corrupt device tree

 - export information to allow userspace kexec tool to place images more
   inteligently, so that the device tree isn't overwritten by the
   booting kernel

 - make early_printk more efficient on semihosted systems

 - noMMU cleanups

 - SA1111 PCMCIA update in preparation for further cleanups
