ARM: wire up process_vm_writev and process_vm_readv syscalls

2011-11-17T16:58:00+00:00

These two syscalls were introduced during the last merge window.
Add the entries into the ARM call tables for them.

ARM: 7160/1: setup: avoid overflowing {elf,arch}_name from proc_info_list

2011-11-12T11:33:14+00:00

setup_processor copies the arch_name and elf_name fields out of the
selected proc_info_list into two fixed size buffers.

Since the proc_info_list structure is defined in a proc_*.S assembly
file, this can lead to subtle errors if the strings defined there are
too long (for example, corrupting the machine ID).

This patch uses snprintf instead of sprintf to ensure that these buffers
are not overrun.

ARM: 7150/1: Allow kernel unaligned accesses on ARMv6+ processors

2011-11-08T18:25:04+00:00

Recent gcc versions generate unaligned accesses by default on ARMv6 and
later processors. This patch ensures that the SCTLR.A bit is always
cleared on such processors to avoid kernel traping before
alignment_init() is called.

Revert "ARM: 7098/1: kdump: copy kernel relocation code at the kexec prepare stage"

2011-11-07T19:04:36+00:00

This reverts commit 2b034922af2caa19df86f0c502e76cb6f6e910f9.

Will Deacon reports:

This is causing kexec to fail.

The symptoms are that the .init.text section is not loaded as part of the
new kernel image, so when we try to do the SMP/UP fixups we hit a whole sea
of poison left there by the previous kernel.

So my guess is that machine_kexec_prepare *is* too early for preparing the
reboot_code_buffer and, unless anybody has a good reason not to, I'd like to
revert the patch causing these problems.

arm: fix implicit module.h users by adding it to arch/arm as required.

2011-10-31T23:30:50+00:00

These files will fail to compile if we dont clean them up in advance
and have them include the appropriate headers they need.

arm: convert core files from module.h to export.h

2011-10-31T23:30:49+00:00

Many of the core ARM kernel files are not modules, but just
including module.h for exporting symbols.  Now these files can
use the lighter footprint export.h for this role.

There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build.  They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

arm: remove several unnecessary module.h include instances

2011-10-31T23:30:48+00:00

Building these files does not reveal a hidden need for
any of these.  Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen
sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.

arm: fix implicit memset/string.h usage in various arch/arm files

arm: add elf.h to arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c

2011-10-31T23:30:45+00:00

It was implicitly getting it via an implicit presence of module.h
but when we clean that up, we'll get a bunch of lines like this:

arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c:765: error: 'ELF_NGREG' undeclared here (not in a function)

  ARM: gic, local timers: use the request_percpu_irq() interface
  ARM: gic: consolidate PPI handling

Fix up mostly pretty trivial conflicts in:
 - arch/arm/Kconfig
 - arch/arm/include/asm/localtimer.h
 - arch/arm/kernel/Makefile
 - arch/arm/mach-shmobile/board-ap4evb.c
 - arch/arm/mach-u300/core.c
 - arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c
 - arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S
 - arch/arm/plat-omap/Kconfig
largely due to some CONFIG option renaming (ie CONFIG_PM_SLEEP ->
CONFIG_ARM_CPU_SUSPEND for the arm-specific suspend code etc) and
addition of NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H next to HAVE_IDE.
