ARC: [SMP] General Fixes

2014-04-05T09:16:42Z

-Pass the expected arg to non-boot park'ing routine (It worked so far because existing SMP backends don't use the arg) -CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT warning

ARC: switch to generic ENTRY/END assembler annotations

2014-03-26T09:01:28Z

With commit 9df62f054406 "arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';'" the generic macros can handle the arch specific newline quirk. Hence we can get rid of ARC asm macros and use the "C" style macros. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: support external initrd

2014-03-26T09:01:27Z

Currently ARC only supports embedded initrd. This patch enables external ones too. [vgupta: Changed from "rt_start"=start/"rd_size"=sz to unified "initrd"=start,sz] Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: Use correct PTAG register for icache flush

2014-03-07T18:12:56Z

This fixes a subtle issue with cache flush which could potentially cause random userspace crashes because of stale icache lines. This error crept in when consolidating the cache flush code Fixes: bd12976c3664 (ARC: cacheflush refactor #3: Unify the {d,i}cache) Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.13 Cc: arc-linux-dev@synopsys.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Pull devicetree updates from Rob Herring: "DeviceTree updates for 3.13. This is a bit larger pull request than usual for this cycle with lots of clean-up. - Cross arch clean-up and consolidation of early DT scanning code. - Clean-up and removal of arch prom.h headers.

ARC: [SMP] TLB flush

2013-11-06T05:11:45Z

- Add mm_cpumask setting (aggregating only, unlike some other arches) used to restrict the TLB flush cross-calling - cross-calling versions of TLB flush routines (thanks to Noam) Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: Change calling convention of do_page_fault()

2013-11-06T05:11:39Z

switch the args (address, pt_regs) to match with all the other "C" exception handlers. This removes the awkwardness in EV_ProtV for page fault vs. unaligned access. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: cacheflush optim - PTAG can be loop invariant if V-P is const

2013-11-06T05:11:38Z

Line op needs vaddr (indexing) and paddr (tag match). For page sized flushes (V-P const), each line op will need a different index, but the tag bits wil remain constant, hence paddr can be setup once outside the loop. This improves select LMBench numbers for Aliasing dcache where we have more "preventive" cache flushing.
