* [ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU ↵Nicolas Pitre2006-01-142-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | exception Patch from Nicolas Pitre The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions. We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function. If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data stack space remain multiples of 8.

| * [ARM] 3256/1: Make the function-returning ldm's use sp as the base registerCatalin Marinas2006-01-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Catalin Marinas If the low interrupt latency mode is enabled for the CPU (from ARMv6 onwards), the ldm/stm instructions are no longer atomic. An ldm instruction restoring the sp and pc registers can be interrupted immediately after sp was updated but before the pc. If this happens, the CPU restores the base register to the value before the ldm instruction but if the base register is not sp, the interrupt routine will corrupt the stack and the restarted ldm instruction will load garbage. Note that future ARM cores might always run in the low interrupt latency mode. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

* [PATCH] IRQ type flagsRussell King2006-01-081-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some ARM platforms have the ability to program the interrupt controller to detect various interrupt edges and/or levels. For some platforms, this is critical to setup correctly, particularly those which the setting is dependent on the device. Currently, ARM drivers do (eg) the following: err = request_irq(irq, ...); set_irq_type(irq, IRQT_RISING); However, if the interrupt has previously been programmed to be level sensitive (for whatever reason) then this will cause an interrupt storm. Hence, if we combine set_irq_type() with request_irq(), we can then safely set the type prior to unmasking the interrupt. The unfortunate problem is that in order to support this, these flags need to be visible outside of the ARM architecture - drivers such as smc91x need these flags and they're cross-architecture. Finally, the SA_TRIGGER_* flag passed to request_irq() should reflect the property that the device would like. The IRQ controller code should do its best to select the most appropriate supported mode.

* [ARM] 3210/1: add missing memory barrier helper for NPTL supportNicolas Pitre2005-12-191-0/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Nicolas Pitre Strictly speaking, the NPTL kernel helpers are required for pre ARMv6 only. They are available on ARMv6+ as well for obvious compatibility reasons. However there are cases where extra memory barriers are needed when using an SMP ARMv6 machine but not on pre-ARMv6. This patch adds a memory barrier kernel helper that glibc can use as needed for pre-ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with an SMP kernel on ARMv6, as well as the necessary dmb instructions to the cmpxchg helper.

* [ARM] 3200/1: Singlestep over ARM BX and BLX instructions using ptrace fixNikola Valerjev2005-12-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Nikola Valerjev Single stepping an application using ptrace() fails over ARM instructions BX and BLX. Steps to reproduce: Compile and link the following files main.c ----- void foo(); int main() { foo(); return 0; } foo.s ----- .text .globl foo foo: BX LR Using ptrace() functionality, run to main(), and start singlestepping. Singlestep over \"BX LR\" instruction won\'t transfer the control back to main, but run the code to completion. This problems seems to be in the function get_branch_address() in arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c. The function doesn\'t seem to recognize BX and BLX instructions as branches. BX and BLX instructions can be used to convert from ARM to Thumb mode if the target address has the low bit set. However, they are also perfectly legal in the ARM only mode. Although other things in the kernel seem to indicate that only ARM mode is accepted (and not Thumb), many compilers will generate BX and BLX instructions even when generating ARM only code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace. Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule. Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation was broken. It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER changes, and then very broken after them. We must block the requested signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered again before the handler even gets a chance to run.

Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

* | [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin2005-11-092-3/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Run idle threads with preempt disabled. Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()). How did it ever work before? Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted. We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined. After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead. By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.
