* ARM: warnings in arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.hArnd Bergmann2012-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On NOMMU ARM, the __addr_ok() and __range_ok() macros do not evaluate their arguments, which may lead to harmless build warnings in some code where the variables are not used otherwise. Adding a cast to void gets rid of the warning and does not make any semantic changes. Without this patch, building at91x40_defconfig results in: fs/read_write.c: In function 'rw_copy_check_uvector': fs/read_write.c:684:9: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable] Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@uclinux.org> Cc: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: 7528/1: uaccess: annotate [__]{get,put}_user functions with might_fault()Will Deacon2012-09-091-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | The user access functions may generate a fault, resulting in invocation of a handler that may sleep. This patch annotates the accessors with might_fault() so that we print a warning if they are invoked from atomic context and help lockdep keep track of mmap_sem.

* ARM: 7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINSRussell King2012-09-091-13/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The {get,put}_user macros don't perform range checking on the provided __user address when !CPU_HAS_DOMAINS. This patch reworks the out-of-line assembly accessors to check the user address against a specified limit, returning -EFAULT if is is out of range.

* ARM: 7449/1: use generic strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functionsWill Deacon2012-07-091-21/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for ARM using the same algorithm as x86. We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.

* ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUsCatalin Marinas2010-11-041-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.cRussell King2010-04-211-20/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077' This is caused because: .section .data .section .text .section .text .previous does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections is not known. Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

* [ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementationsNicolas Pitre2009-05-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std. Same thing for __clear_user. Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

* [ARM] remove memzero()Russell King2008-11-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug. Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero(). Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | The post-index immediate value is optional if it is 0 and this patch removes it. The reason is to allow such instructions to compile to Thumb-2 where only pre-indexed LDRT/STRT instructions are allowed.
