* arm64: force CONFIG_SMP=y and remove redundant #ifdefsWill Deacon2015-07-271-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use coherent DMA with non-shared pages. This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of code in the process. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
* arm64: kill flush_cache_all()Mark Rutland2015-05-191-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documented semantics of flush_cache_all are not possible to provide for arm64 (short of flushing the entire physical address space by VA), and there are currently no users; KVM uses VA maintenance exclusively, cpu_reset is never called, and the only two users outside of arch code cannot be built for arm64. While cpu_soft_reset and related functions (which call flush_cache_all) were thought to be useful for kexec, their current implementations only serve to mask bugs. For correctness kexec will need to perform maintenance by VA anyway to account for system caches, line migration, and other subtleties of the cache architecture. As the extent of this cache maintenance will be kexec-specific, it should probably live in the kexec code. This patch removes flush_cache_all, and related unused components, preventing further abuse.

* arm64: mm: enable RCU fast_gupSteve Capper2014-10-091-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Activate the RCU fast_gup for ARM64. We also need to force THP splits to broadcast an IPI s.t. we block in the fast_gup page walker. As THP splits are comparatively rare, this should not lead to a noticeable performance degradation. Some pre-requisite functions pud_write and pud_page are also added.

* arm64: mm: Make icache synchronisation logic huge page awareSteve Capper2014-07-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache data residing further on in a hugetlb page. This patch addresses this issue by taking into consideration the order of the page when flushing the dcache.

* arm64: Remove __flush_dcache_page()Catalin Marinas2013-06-071-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This function is only used in __sync_icache_dcache(), so remove it and call __flush_dcache_area() directly. The flush_icache_user_range() function is not used in the arm64 kernel.

* arm64: Do not flush the D-cache for anonymous pagesCatalin Marinas2013-06-071-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | The D-cache on AArch64 is VIPT non-aliasing, so there is no need to flush it for anonymous pages. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Reported-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
* arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()Catalin Marinas2013-06-071-18/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | The flush_dcache_page() function is called when the kernel modified a page cache page. Since the D-cache on AArch64 does not have aliases this function can simply mark the page as dirty for later flushing via set_pte_at()/__sync_icache_dcache() if the page is executable (to ensure the I-D cache coherency).

* arm64: Cache maintenance routinesCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+135
The patch adds functionality required for cache maintenance. The AArch64 architecture mandates non-aliasing VIPT or PIPT D-cache and VIPT (may have aliases) or ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache. Cache maintenance operations are automatically broadcast in hardware between CPUs.
