30891c90d8 ARM: entry: no need to reload the SPSR value from struct pt_regs
The SVC IRQ, prefetch and data abort handlers preserve the SPSR value
via r5 across the exception.  Rather than re-loading it from pt_regs,
use the preserved value instead.

bc089602d2 ARM: entry: instrument usr exception handlers with irqsoff tracing
As we no longer re-enable interrupts in these exception handlers, add
the irqsoff tracing calls to them so that the kernel tracks the state
more accurately.

Note that these calls are conditional on IRQSOFF_TRACER:

  kernel ----------> user ---------> kernel
          ^ irqs enabled   ^ irqs disabled

No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the
kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not
take any locks etc.  So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask
state while userspace is running unless we're doing IRQ off latency
tracing.  So, we can (and do) avoid the overhead of updating the IRQ
mask state on every kernel->user and user->kernel transition.

9fc2552a68 ARM: 6952/1: fix lockdep warning of "unannotated irqs-off"
This patch fixes the lockdep warning of "unannotated irqs-off"[1].

After entering __irq_usr, arm core will disable interrupt automatically,
but __irq_usr does not annotate the irq disable, so lockdep may complain
the warning if it has chance to check this in irq handler.

This patch adds trace_hardirqs_off in __irq_usr before entering irq_handler
to handle the irq, also calls ret_to_user_from_irq to avoid calling
disable_irq again.

This is also a fix for irq off tracer.

Per subarch interrupt handler macros V3.

This patch breaks out code from the irq_handler macro
into arch_irq_handler and arch_irq_handler_default.

The macros are put in the header file "entry-macro-multi.S"

The arch_irq_handler_default macro is designed to be
used by irq_handler in entry-armv.S while arch_irq_handler
is suitable for per-subarch use.

521086412e ARM: 6532/1: Allow machine to specify it's own IRQ handlers at run-time
Normally different ARM platform has different way to decode the IRQ
hardware status and demultiplex to the corresponding IRQ handler.
This is highly optimized by macro irq_handler in entry-armv.S, and
each machine defines their own macro to decode the IRQ number.
However, this prevents multiple machine classes to be built into a
single kernel.

By allowing each machine to specify thier own handler, and making
function pointer 'handle_arch_irq' to point to it at run time, this
can be solved. And introduce CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER to allow both
solutions to work.

Comparing with the highly optimized macro of irq_handler, the new
function must be written with care not to lose too much performance.
And the IPI stuff on SMP is expected to move to the provided arch
IRQ handler as well.

The assembly code to invoke handle_arch_irq is optimized by Russell
King.

ed3768a8d9 ARM: 6516/1: Allow SMP_ON_UP to work with Thumb-2 kernels.
* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the
    THUMB2_KERNEL case.  For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split
    into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on
    unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on.

    No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the
    number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep
    the code as simple as possible.

  * Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support
    CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre.

  * Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that
    the content really is the right size (4 bytes).

    (No check is done for ALT_SMP().  Possibly, this could be fixed
    by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus
    ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros.  In the first case,
    ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.)

  * smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due
    to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected
    instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct
    instruction size is satisfied in this case.

  * A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb:

    smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser)
    smp_dmb     @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP()

    This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb,
    when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page.

    There might be a better way to achieve this.

  * Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on
    (!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now
    supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2
    currently assumes little-endian order.)

Tested using a single generic realview kernel on:
	ARM RealView PB-A8 (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL={n,y})
	ARM RealView PBX-A9 (SMP)

7e20269647 ARM: hw_breakpoint: disable preemption during debug exception handling
On ARM, debug exceptions occur in the form of data or prefetch aborts.
One difference is that debug exceptions require access to per-cpu banked
registers and data structures which are not saved in the low-level exception
code. For kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT, there is an unlikely scenario
that the debug handler ends up running on a different CPU from the one
that originally signalled the event, resulting in random data being read
from the wrong registers.

This patch adds a debug_entry macro to the low-level exception handling
code which checks whether the taken exception is a debug exception. If
it is, the preempt count for the faulting process is incremented. After
the debug handler has finished, the count is decremented.

247055aa21 ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUs
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.

f00ec48fad ARM: Allow SMP kernels to boot on UP systems
UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite
parts of the kernel.

Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data
is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions,
thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual.  We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

Fix this by ensuring that the lockdep interrupt state is manipulated in
the appropriate places.  We essentially treat userspace as an entirely
separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't
monitor userspace.)  We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled
in that environment.

Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared
to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state.  Do
this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper,
tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them.

This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state
in kernel space.

This also revert portions of 0d928b0b61
which didn't fix the problem.

f159f4ed55 ARM: 6207/1: Replace CONFIG_HAS_TLS_REG with HWCAP_TLS and check for it on V6
The TLS register is only available on ARM1136 r1p0 and later.
Set HWCAP_TLS flags if hardware TLS is available and test for
it if CONFIG_CPU_32v6K is not set for V6.

Note that we set the TLS instruction in __kuser_get_tls
dynamically as suggested by Jamie Lokier <jamie@shareable.org>.

Also the __switch_to code is optimized out in most cases as
suggested by Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

df0698be14 ARM: stack protector: change the canary value per task
A new random value for the canary is stored in the task struct whenever
a new task is forked.  This is meant to allow for different canary values
per task.  On ARM, GCC expects the canary value to be found in a global
variable called __stack_chk_guard.  So this variable has to be updated
with the value stored in the task struct whenever a task switch occurs.

Because the variable GCC expects is global, this cannot work on SMP
unfortunately.  So, on SMP, the same initial canary value is kept
throughout, making this feature a bit less effective although it is still
useful.

One way to overcome this GCC limitation would be to locate the
__stack_chk_guard variable into a memory page of its own for each CPU,
and then use TLB locking to have each CPU see its own page at the same
virtual address for each of them.

4260415f6a ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.c
/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.

Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to

needed for proper prefetch abort handling.

Now we have three prefetch abort model:

  * legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither
    IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault
    status for them to generalize code;
  * ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR;
  * ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR.

200b812d00 Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an exception
The patch adds a CLREX or dummy STREX to the exception return path. This
is needed because several atomic/locking operations use a pair of
LDREX/STREXEQ and the EQ condition may not always be satisfied. This
would leave the exclusive monitor status set and may cause problems with
atomic/locking operations in the interrupted code.

With this patch, the atomic_set() operation can be a simple STR
instruction (on SMP systems, the global exclusive monitor is cleared by
STR anyway). Clearing the exclusive monitor during context switch is no
longer needed as this is handled by the exception return path anyway.
