ARC: SMP failed to boot due to missing IVT setup

2013-09-12T14:40:08Z

Commit 05b016ecf5e7a "ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot" moved the Interrupt vector Table setup out of arc_init_IRQ() which is called for all CPUs, to entry point of boot cpu only, breaking booting of others. Fix by adding the same to entry point of non-boot CPUs too. read_arc_build_cfg_regs() printing IVT Base Register didn't help the casue since it prints a synthetic value if zero which is totally bogus, so fix that to print the exact Register. [vgupta: Remove the now stale comment from header of arc_init_IRQ and also added the commentary for halt-on-reset] Cc: Gilad Ben-Yossef Cc: Cc: #3.11 Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull device tree core updates from Grant Likely: "Generally minor changes. A bunch of bug fixes, particularly for initialization and some refactoring. Most notable change if feeding the entire flattened tree into the random pool at boot. May not be significant, but shouldn't hurt either" Tim Bird questions whether the boot time cost of the random feeding may be noticeable. And "add_device_randomness()" is definitely not some speed deamon of a function. * tag 'devicetree-for-linus' of git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux: of/platform: add error reporting to of_amba_device_create() irq/of: Fix comment typo for irq_of_parse_and_map of: Feed entire flattened device tree into the random pool of/fdt: Clean up casting in unflattening path of/fdt: Remove duplicate memory clearing on FDT unflattening gpio: implement gpio-ranges binding document fix of: call __of_parse_phandle_with_args from of_parse_phandle of: introduce of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args of: move of_parse_phandle() of: move documentation of of_parse_phandle_with_args of: Fix missing memory initialization on FDT unflattening of: consolidate definition of early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() of: Make of_get_phy_mode() return int i.s.o. const int include: dt-binding: input: create a DT header defining key codes. of/platform: Staticize of_platform_device_create_pdata() of: Specify initrd location using 64-bit dt: Typo fix OF: make of_property_for_each_{u32|string}() use parameters if OF is not enabled

ARC: remove console_verbose() from setup_arch()

ARC: Entry Handler tweaks: Optimize away redundant IRQ_DISABLE_SAVE

2013-08-26T04:10:25Z

In the exception return path, for both U/K cases, intr are already disabled (for various existing reasons). So when we drop down to @restore_regs, we need not redo that. There was subtle issue - when intr were NOT being disabled for ret-to-kernel-but-no-preemption case - now fixed by moving the IRQ_DISABLE further up in @resume_kernel_mode. So what do we gain: * Shaves off a few insn in return path. * Eliminates the need for IRQ_DISABLE_SAVE assembler macro for ARCv2 hence allows for entry code sharing. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: Exception Handlers Code consolidation

2013-08-26T04:10:25Z

After the recent cleanups, all the exception handlers now have same boilerplate prologue code. Move that into common macro. This reduces readability but helps greatly with sharing / duplicating entry code with ARCv2 ISA where the handlers are pretty much the same, just the entry prologue is different (due to hardware assist). Also while at it, add the missing FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN calls in couple of places to drop down to pure kernel mode (from exception mode) before jumping off into "C" code. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

Pull first batch of ARC changes from Vineet Gupta: "There's a second bunch to follow next week - which depends on commits on other trees (irq/net). I'd have preferred the accompanying ARC change via respective trees, but it didn't workout somehow. Highlights of changes: - Continuation of ARC MM changes from 3.10 including zero page optimization Setting pagecache pages dirty by default Non executable stack by default Reducing dcache flushes for aliasing VIPT config - Long overdue rework of pt_regs machinery - removing the unused word gutters and adding ECR register to baseline (helps cleanup lot of low level code) - Support for ARC gcc 4.8 - Few other preventive fixes, cosmetics, usage of Kconfig helper.. The diffstat is larger than normal primarily because of arcregs.h header split as well as beautification of macros in entry.h" * tag 'arc-v3.11-rc1-part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vgupta/arc: (32 commits) ARC: warn on improper stack unwind FDE entries arc: delete __cpuinit usage from all arc files ARC: [tlb-miss] Fix bug with CONFIG_ARC_DBG_TLB_MISS_COUNT ARC: [tlb-miss] Extraneous PTE bit testing/setting ARC: Adjustments for gcc 4.8 ARC: Setup Vector Table Base in early boot ARC: Remove explicit passing around of ECR ARC: pt_regs update #5: Use real ECR for pt_regs->event vs. synth values ARC: stop using pt_regs->orig_r8 ARC: pt_regs update #4: r25 saved/restored unconditionally ARC: K/U SP saved from one location in stack switching macro ARC: Entry Handler tweaks: Simplify branch for in-kernel preemption ARC: Entry Handler tweaks: Avoid hardcoded LIMMS for ECR values ARC: Increase readability of entry handlers ARC: pt_regs update #3: Remove unused gutter at start of callee_regs ARC: pt_regs update #2: Remove unused gutter at start of pt_regs ARC: pt_regs update #1: Align pt_regs end with end of kernel stack page ARC: pt_regs update #0: remove kernel stack canary ARC: [mm] Remove @write argument to do_page_fault() ARC: [mm] Make stack/heap Non-executable by default ...
