ARM: 8314/1: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset

2015-03-28T15:46:14Z

This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather than an instruction. This is mainly done to prevent linker failures on large kernels, where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+

2014-07-18T11:29:04Z

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

arm: delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from all ARM users

2013-07-14T23:36:52Z

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the ARM uses of the __cpuinit macros from C code, and all __CPUINIT from assembly code. It also had two ".previous" section statements that were paired off against __CPUINIT (aka .section ".cpuinit.text") that also get removed here.

ARM: 7760/1: cpu_fa526_do_idle: remove WFI

2013-06-24T13:25:41Z

As it was already suggested by Russell King and Arnd Bergmann: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/16/133 moxart and gemini seem to be the only platforms using CPU_FA526, and instead of pointing arm_pm_idle to an empty function from platform code, it makes sense to remove WFI code from the processor specific idle function. Applies to arm-soc/for-next (and 3.10-rc1). Changes since v1: 1. remove WFI but make sure cpu_fa526_do_idle do not fall through to cpu_fa526_dcache_clean_area Note: moxart boots and prints to UART without this patch, but input is broken.

ARM: proc-*.S: place cpu_reset functions into .idmap.text section

2011-12-06T14:04:14Z

The CPU reset functions disable the MMU and therefore must be executed with an identity mapping in place. This patch places the CPU reset functions into the .idmap.text section, causing the idmap code to include them as part of the identity mapping. Acked-by: Dave Martin Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

ARM: pm: add generic CPU suspend/resume support

2011-02-22T17:11:23Z

This adds core support for saving and restoring CPU coprocessor registers for suspend/resume support. This contains support for suspend with ARM920, ARM926, SA11x0, PXA25x, PXA27x, PXA3xx, V6 and V7 CPUs. Tested on Assabet and Tegra 2.

ARM: hotplug cpu: Keep processor information, startup code & __lookup_processor_type

2010-10-08T09:07:32Z

When hotplug CPU is enabled, we need to keep the list of supported CPUs, their setup functions, and __lookup_processor_type in place so that we can find and initialize secondary CPUs. Move these into the __CPUINIT section. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: Factor out common code from cpu_proc_fin()

2010-07-27T09:48:42Z

All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin() implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having caches still enabled.) This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support code. Signed-off-by: Russell King
