2012-11-09ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONEWill Deacon
PROT_NONE mappings apply the page protection attributes defined by _P000 which translate to PAGE_NONE for ARM. These attributes specify an XN, RDONLY pte that is inaccessible to userspace. However, on kernels configured without support for domains, such a pte *is* accessible to the kernel and can be read via get_user, allowing tasks to read PROT_NONE pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe. This patch introduces a new software pte flag, L_PTE_NONE, that is set to identify faulting, present entries. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2012-09-25ARM: mm: implement LoUIS API for cache maintenance opsLorenzo Pieralisi
ARM v7 architecture introduced the concept of cache levels and related control registers. New processors like A7 and A15 embed an L2 unified cache controller that becomes part of the cache level hierarchy. Some operations in the kernel like cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable do not require a flush of the entire cache hierarchy to DRAM but just the cache levels belonging to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS), which in most of ARM v7 systems correspond to L1. The current cache flushing API used in cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable, flush_cache_all(), ends up flushing the whole cache hierarchy since for v7 it cleans and invalidates all cache levels up to Level of Coherency (LoC) which cripples system performance when used in hot paths like hotplug and cpuidle. Therefore a new kernel cache maintenance API must be added to cope with latest ARM system requirements. This patch adds flush_cache_louis() to the ARM kernel cache maintenance API. This function cleans and invalidates all data cache levels up to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS) and invalidates the instruction cache for processors that support it (> v7). This patch also creates an alias of the cache LoUIS function to flush_kern_all for all processor versions prior to v7, so that the current cache flushing behaviour is unchanged for those processors. v7 cache maintenance code implements a cache LoUIS function that cleans and invalidates the D-cache up to LoUIS and invalidates the I-cache, according to the new API.

2011-12-08ARM: LPAE: MMU setup for the 3-level page table formatCatalin Marinas
This patch adds the MMU initialisation for the LPAE page table format. The swapper_pg_dir size with LPAE is 5 rather than 4 pages. A new proc-v7-3level.S file contains the TTB initialisation, context switch and PTE setting code with the LPAE. The TTBRx split is based on the PAGE_OFFSET with TTBR1 used for the kernel mappings. The 36-bit mappings (supersections) and a few other memory types in mmu.c are conditionally compiled. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2011-07-21ARM: Fix build errors caused by adding generic macrosRussell King
Commit 66a625a (ARM: mm: proc-macros: Add generic proc/cache/tlb struct definition macros) introduced build errors when PM_SLEEP is not enabled. The per-CPU do_suspend/do_resume functions are defined via the preprocessor to constant 0. However, the macros which use these were converted to assembly, resulting in undefined references to these functions. Fix that by moving the ! ifdef section into proc-macros.S and deleting it from all effected proc-*.S files.

2010-12-22ARM: pgtable: invert L_PTE_EXEC to L_PTE_XNRussell King
The hardware page tables use an XN bit 'execute never'. Historically, we've had a Linux 'execute allow' bit, in the positive sense. Get rid of this artifact as future hardware will continue to have the XN sense. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-22ARM: pgtable: switch order of Linux vs hardware page tablesRussell King
This switches the ordering of the Linux vs hardware page tables in each page, thereby eliminating some of the arithmetic in the page table walks. As we now place the Linux page table at the beginning of the page, we can deal with the offset in the pgt by simply masking it away, along with the other control bits. This also makes the arithmetic all be positive, rather than a mixture. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-12ARM: 6528/1: Use CTR for the I-cache line size on ARMv7Catalin Marinas
The current implementation of the v7_coherent_*_range function assumes that the D and I cache lines have the same size, which is incorrect architecturally. This patch adds the icache_line_size macro which reads the CTR register. The main loop in v7_coherent_*_range is split in two independent loops or the D and I caches. This also has the performance advantage that the DSB is moved outside the main loop.

2010-12-12ARM: 6527/1: Use CTR instead of CCSIDR for the D-cache line size on ARMv7Catalin Marinas
The current implementation of the dcache_line_size macro reads the L1 cache size from the CCSIDR register. This, however, is not guaranteed to be the smallest cache line in the cache hierarchy. The patch changes to the macro to use the more architecturally correct CTR register.

2010-11-04ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas
This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register. Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory. Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to the LDR/STR ones. The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page isn't possible. The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok() function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

2006-06-29[ARM] nommu: provide a way for correct control register value selectionRussell King
Most MMU-based CPUs have a restriction on the setting of the data cache enable and mmu enable bits in the control register, whereby if the data cache is enabled, the MMU must also be enabled. Enabling the data cache without the MMU is an invalid combination. However, there are CPUs where the data cache can be enabled without the MMU. In order to allow these CPUs to take advantage of that, provide a method whereby each proc-*.S file defines the control regsiter value for use with nommu (with the MMU disabled.) Later on, when we add support for enabling the MMU on these devices, we can adjust the "crval" macro to also enable the data cache for nommu. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
