2011-08-13	ARM: 7013/1: P2V: Remove ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT_16BIT	Nicolas Pitre	1	-4/+0
	This code can be removed now that MSM targets no longer need the 16-bit offsets for P2V. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2011-02-26	ARM: 6766/1: Thumb-2: Reflect ARM/Thumb-2 configuration in module vermagic	Dave Martin	1	-0/+8
	Loading Thumb-2 modules into an ARM kernel or vice-versa isn't guaranteed to work safely, since the kernel is not interworking- aware everywhere. This patch adds "thumb2" to the module vermagic when CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is enabled, to help avoid accidental loading of modules into the wrong kernel.

2011-02-17	ARM: P2V: extend to 16-bit translation offsets	Russell King	1	-0/+4
	MSM's memory is aligned to 2MB, which is more than we can do with our existing method as we're limited to the upper 8 bits. Extend this by using two instructions to 16 bits, automatically selected when MSM is enabled.

2011-02-17	ARM: P2V: introduce phys_to_virt/virt_to_phys runtime patching	Russell King	1	-2/+13
	This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version, which was then rewritten into this. Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us to achieve this with minimal loss of performance. As many translations are of the form: physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub' instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this constant into the above add/sub instructions. Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use. At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a constant which will not fit in our math instruction. Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent incompatible modules being loaded.

2010-12-01	ARM: module: clean up handling of ELF unwind tables	Russell King	1	-10/+5
	There's no need to keep pointers to the ELF sections available while the module is loaded - we only need the section pointers while we're finding and registering the unwind tables, which can all be done during the finalize stage of loading. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-09-02	ARM: 6340/1: module - additional unwind tables for exit/devexit sections	Phil Carmody	1	-0/+2
	Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak. This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable. Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

2010-09-02	ARM: 6339/1: module - simplify unwind table handling	Phil Carmody	1	-12/+17
	The various sections are all dealt with similarly, so factor out that common behaviour. (Incorporating Peter Huewe's fix.)

2009-02-19	[ARM] 5384/1: unwind: Add stack unwinding support for loadable modules	Catalin Marinas	1	-5/+17

2008-08-02	[ARM] move include/asm-arm to arch/arm/include/asm	Russell King	1	-0/+18
