* ARM: 7181/1: Restrict kprobes probing SWP instructions to ARMv5 and belowJon Medhurst (Tixy)2011-11-302-10/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SWP instruction is deprecated on ARMv6 and with ARMv7 it will be UNDEFINED when CONFIG_SWP_EMULATE is selected. In this case, probing a SWP instruction will cause an oops when the kprobes emulation code executes an undefined instruction. As the SWP instruction should be rare or non-existent in kernels for ARMv6 and later, we can simply avoid these problems by not allowing probing of these.

* ARM: 7180/1: Change kprobes testcase with unpredictable STRD instructionJon Medhurst (Tixy)2011-11-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a kprobes testcase for the instruction "strd r2, [r3], r4". This has unpredictable behaviour as it uses r3 for register writeback addressing and also stores it to memory. On a cortex A9, this testcase would fail because the instruction writes the updated value of r3 to memory, whereas the kprobes emulation code writes the original value. Fix this by changing testcase to used r5 instead of r3.

* ARM: 7174/1: Fix build error in kprobes test code on Thumb2 kernelsJon Medhurst2011-11-262-38/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When compiling kprobes-test-thumb.c an error like below may occur: /tmp/ccKcuJcG.s:19179: Error: offset out of range This is caused by the compiler underestimating the size of the inline assembler instructions containing ".space 0x1000" and failing to spill the literal pool in time to prevent the generation of PC relative load instruction with invalid offsets. The fix implemented by this patch is to replace a single large .space directive by a number of 4 byte .space's. This requires splitting the macros which generate test cases for branch instructions into two forms: one with, and one without support for inserting extra code between branch and target.

| * ARM: perf: check that we have a platform device when reserving PMUWill Deacon2011-11-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to use a hardware counter on a platform with a supported PMU but where the platform_device (defining the interrupts) has not been registered results in a NULL pointer dereference. This patch fixes the problem by checking that we actually have a platform device registered before attempting to grab the interrupts.

| * ARM: perf: initialise used_mask for fake PMU during validationWill Deacon2011-11-171-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When validating an event group, we call pmu->get_event_idx for each group member in order to check that the group can be scheduled as a unit on an empty PMU. As a result of 3fc2c830 ("ARM: perf: remove event limit from pmu_hw_events"), the used_mask member of struct cpu_hw_events must be setup explicitly, something which we don't do for the fake cpu_hw_events used for validation. This patch sets up an empty used_mask for the fake validation cpu_hw_events, preventing NULL deferences when trying to get the event index.

* | ARM: 7161/1: errata: no automatic store buffer drainWill Deacon2011-11-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a workaround for PL310 erratum 769419. On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA. This patch adds an optional wmb() call to the cpu_idle loop. On systems with an outer cache, this causes an explicit flush of the store buffer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | setup_processor copies the arch_name and elf_name fields out of the selected proc_info_list into two fixed size buffers. Since the proc_info_list structure is defined in a proc_*.S assembly file, this can lead to subtle errors if the strings defined there are too long (for example, corrupting the machine ID).

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | stage" This reverts commit 2b034922af2caa19df86f0c502e76cb6f6e910f9. Will Deacon reports: This is causing kexec to fail. The symptoms are that the .init.text section is not loaded as part of the new kernel image, so when we try to do the SMP/UP fixups we hit a whole sea of poison left there by the previous kernel. So my guess is that machine_kexec_prepare *is* too early for preparing the reboot_code_buffer and, unless anybody has a good reason not to, I'd like to revert the patch causing these problems.

PPIs are handled by the handle_percpu_devid_irq flow. This also allows the removal of some duplicated code.

| | | * | | | | | ARM: perf: Remove unnecessary armpmu->enable()sMark Rutland2011-08-311-12/+2

As armpmu->enable is called when each event is added, each event is already configured in hardware. Due to this, calling armpmu->enable in armpmu_enable is unnecessary and confusing. This patch removes the unnecessary calls to armpmu->enable. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

This prevents new drivers from using the framework. This patch moves declarations to asm/pmu.h, allowing new PMU drivers to use the framework.

As this data is general enough to be used for system PMUs, this name is a misnomer, and may cause confusion when it is used for system PMUs. Additionally, 'armpmu' is commonly used as a parameter name for an instance of struct arm_pmu. The name is also used for a global instance which represents the CPU's PMU. As cpu_hw_events is now not tied to CPU PMUs, it is renamed to pmu_hw_events, with instances of it renamed similarly. As the global 'armpmu' is CPU-specfic, it is renamed to cpu_pmu. This should make it clearer which code is generic, and which is coupled with the CPU.
