ARM: spectre-v2: add Cortex A8 and A15 validation of the IBE bit

2018-05-31T09:40:02+00:00

When the branch predictor hardening is enabled, firmware must have set the IBE bit in the auxiliary control register. If this bit has not been set, the Spectre workarounds will not be functional. Add validation that this bit is set, and print a warning at alert level if this is not the case.

ARM: 8757/1: NOMMU: Support PMSAv8 MPU

2018-05-19T10:53:46+00:00

ARMv8R/M architecture defines new memory protection scheme - PMSAv8 which is not compatible with PMSAv7. Key differences to PMSAv7 are: - Region geometry is defined by base and limit addresses - Addresses need to be either 32 or 64 byte aligned - No region priority due to overlapping regions are not allowed - It is unified, i.e. no distinction between data/instruction regions - Memory attributes are controlled via MAIR This patch implements support for PMSAv8 MPU defined by ARMv8R/M architecture.

ARM: 8725/1: Add Broadcom Brahma-B15 readahead cache support

2017-12-17T22:15:35+00:00

This patch adds support for the Broadcom Brahma-B15 CPU readahead cache controller. This cache controller sits between the L2 and the memory bus and its purpose is to provide a friendler burst size towards the DDR interface than the native cache line size. The readahead cache is mostly transparent, except for flush_kern_cache_all, which is precisely what we are overriding here. The readahead cache only intercepts reads, and does invalidate on writes (IOW), as such, some data can remain stale in any of its buffers, such that we need to flush it, which is an operation that needs to happen in a particular order: - disable the readahead cache - flush it - call the appropriate cache-v7.S function - re-enable This patch tries to minimize the impact to the cache-v7.S file by only providing a stub in case CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is enabled (default for ARCH_BRCMSTB since it is the current user).

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ARM: NOMMU: Introduce dma operations for noMMU

2017-06-30T17:03:09+00:00

R/M classes of cpus can have memory covered by MPU which in turn might configure RAM as Normal i.e. bufferable and cacheable. It breaks dma_alloc_coherent() and friends, since data can stuck in caches now or be buffered. This patch factors out DMA support for NOMMU configuration into separate entity which provides dedicated dma_ops. We have to handle there several cases: - configurations with MMU/MPU setup - configurations without MMU/MPU setup - special case for M-class, since caches and MPU there are optional In general we rely on default DMA area for coherent allocations or/and per-device memory reserves suitable for coherent DMA, so if such regions are set coherent allocations go from there. In case MMU/MPU was not setup we fallback to normal page allocator for DMA memory allocation. In case we run M-class cpus, for configuration without cache support (like Cortex-M3/M4) dma operations are forced to be coherent and wired with dma-noop (such decision is made based on cacheid global variable); however, if caches are detected there and no DMA coherent region is given (either default or per-device), dma is disallowed even MPU is not set - it is because M-class implement system memory map which defines part of address space as Normal memory.

ARM: 8640/1: Add support for CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL

2017-02-28T11:06:09+00:00

x86 has an option: CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL to do additional checks on virt_to_phys calls. The goal is to catch users who are calling virt_to_phys on non-linear addresses immediately. This includes caller using __virt_to_phys() on image addresses instead of __pa_symbol(). This is a generally useful debug feature to spot bad code (particulary in drivers).
