arm: kernel: Add SMC structure parameter

2017-02-03T18:46:33Z

This patch adds a quirk parameter to the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) calls. The quirk structure allows for specialized SMC operations due to SoC specific requirements. The current arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) is renamed and macros are used instead to specify the standard arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) or the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc)_quirk function. This patch and partial implementation was suggested by Will Deacon. Signed-off-by: Andy Gross Reviewed-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"

2016-11-23T10:00:03Z

This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121. Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions. While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above change: - We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms become more fragile: * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in the selected configuration makes use of the symbol. * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten, with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch the file. - We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes, they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their exports. As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction: (original commit) 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-) (fix for ksyms trimming) 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (two fixes for modversions) 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted. As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach, revert the change. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 8479/2: add implementation for arm-smccc

2016-01-04T16:24:34Z

Adds implementation for arm-smccc and enables CONFIG_HAVE_SMCCC for architectures that may support arm-smccc. It's the responsibility of the caller to know if the SMC instruction is supported by the platform. Reviewed-by: Lars Persson Signed-off-by: Jens Wiklander Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: uaccess: provide uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore()

2015-08-25T15:14:43Z

Provide uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() to permit control of userspace visibility to the kernel, and hook these into the appropriate places in the kernel where we need to access userspace. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: avoid unwanted GCC memset()/memcpy() optimisations for IO variants

2015-07-03T19:46:15Z

We don't want GCC optimising our memset_io(), memcpy_fromio() or memcpy_toio() variants, so we must not call one of the standard functions. Provide a separate name for our assembly memcpy() and memset() functions, and use that instead, thereby bypassing GCC's ability to optimise these operations. GCCs optimisation may introduce unaligned accesses which are invalid for device mappings. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 8151/1: add missing exports for asm functions required by get_user macro

2014-09-16T15:09:30Z

Previous commits that dealt with get_user for 64bit type missed to export proper functions, so if get_user macro with particular target/value types are used by kernel module modpost would produce 'undefined!' error. Solution is to export all required functions. Signed-off-by: Victor Kamensky Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: Better virt_to_page() handling

2014-04-03T21:46:34Z

virt_to_page() is incredibly inefficient when virt-to-phys patching is enabled. This is because we end up with this calculation: page = &mem_map[asm virt_to_phys(addr) >> 12 - __pv_phys_offset >> 12] in assembly. The asm virt_to_phys() is equivalent this this operation: addr - PAGE_OFFSET + __pv_phys_offset and we can see that because this is assembly, the compiler has no chance to optimise some of that away. This should reduce down to: page = &mem_map[(addr - PAGE_OFFSET) >> 12] for the common cases. Permit the compiler to make this optimisation by giving it more of the information it needs - do this by providing a virt_to_pfn() macro. Another issue which makes this more complex is that __pv_phys_offset is a 64-bit type on all platforms. This is needlessly wasteful - if we store the physical offset as a PFN, we can save a lot of work having to deal with 64-bit values, which sometimes ends up producing incredibly horrid code: a4c: e3009000 movw r9, #0 a4c: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC __pv_phys_offset a50: e3409000 movt r9, #0 ; r9 = &__pv_phys_offset a50: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS __pv_phys_offset a54: e3002000 movw r2, #0 a54: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC __pv_phys_offset a58: e3402000 movt r2, #0 ; r2 = &__pv_phys_offset a58: R_ARM_MOVT_ABS __pv_phys_offset a5c: e5999004 ldr r9, [r9, #4] ; r9 = high word of __pv_phys_offset a60: e3001000 movw r1, #0 a60: R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC mem_map a64: e592c000 ldr ip, [r2] ; ip = low word of __pv_phys_offset Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 7877/1: use built-in byte swap function

2013-12-29T12:32:45Z

Enable the compiler intrinsic for byte swapping on arch ARM. This allows the compiler to detect and be able to optimize out byte swappings, and has a very modest benefit on vmlinux size (Linaro gcc 4.8): text data bss dec hex filename 2840310 123932 61960 3026202 2e2d1a vmlinux-lart #orig 2840152 123932 61960 3026044 2e2c7c vmlinux-lart #builtin-bswap 6473120 314840 5616016 12403976 bd4508 vmlinux-mxs #orig 6472586 314848 5616016 12403450 bd42fa vmlinux-mxs #builtin-bswap 7419872 318372 379556 8117800 7bde28 vmlinux-imx_v6_v7 #orig 7419170 318364 379556 8117090 7bdb62 vmlinux-imx_v6_v7 #builtin-bswap Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre Acked-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Russell King
