* ARM: 7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mappingWill Deacon2012-03-241-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current user mapping for the vectors page is inserted as a `horrible hack vma' into each task via arch_setup_additional_pages. This causes problems with the MM subsystem and vm_normal_page, as described here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/14/55 Following the suggestion from Hugh in the above thread, this patch uses the gate_vma for the vectors user mapping, therefore consolidating the horrible hack VMAs into one.

* ARM: 6883/1: ptrace: Migrate to regsets frameworkDave Martin2011-05-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers to use the regsets framework. As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no VFP state. Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation; these should be migratable without much extra work.

* ARM: add a vma entry for the user accessible vector pageNicolas Pitre2010-10-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding. For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame layout -- which it currently cannot do. We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb process make an exception for this page and get content from its own address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either. Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by user space code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
* ARM: 6189/1: Add support for the MOVW/MOVT relocations in Thumb-2Catalin Marinas2010-08-051-0/+2

* Thumb-2: Add support for loadable modulesCatalin Marinas2009-07-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24 (+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to (MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

* [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation typesPaul Gortmaker2009-05-071-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is required. The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16 bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the top half of a register. The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value), so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value. The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

| * [ARM] 5428/1: Module relocation update for R_ARM_V4BXDaniel Silverstone2009-03-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils (required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations are emitted for function epilogues. This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40" error message. The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the binutils bfd library.
