2009-05-30Check whether the TLB operations need broadcasting on SMP systemsCatalin Marinas2-2/+49
ARMv7 SMP hardware can handle the TLB maintenance operations broadcasting in hardware so that the software can avoid the costly IPIs. This patch adds the necessary checks (the MMFR3 CPUID register) to avoid the broadcasting if already supported by the hardware. (this patch is based on the work done by Tony Thompson @ ARM) Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2009-05-29[ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementationsNicolas Pitre1-0/+2
This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std. Same thing for __clear_user. Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

2009-05-29flat: fix data sections alignmentOskar Schirmer1-3/+0
The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections. However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and data-section alignment of at least this size. This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's not defined by the architecture. It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

2009-05-28[ARM] Add cmpxchg support for ARMv6+ systems (v5)Mathieu Desnoyers1-0/+173
Add cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 support for ARMv6K and ARMv7 systems (original patch from Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>) The cmpxchg and cmpxchg64 functions can be implemented using the LDREX*/STREX* instructions. Since operand lengths other than 32bit are required, the full implementations are only available if the ARMv6K extensions are present (for the LDREXB, LDREXH and LDREXD instructions). For ARMv6, only 32-bits cmpxchg is available. Mathieu : Make cmpxchg_local always available with best implementation for all type sizes (1, 2, 4 bytes). Make cmpxchg64_local always available. Use "Ir" constraint for "old" operand, like atomic.h atomic_cmpxchg does. Change since v3 : - Add "memory" clobbers (thanks to Nicolas Pitre) - removed __asmeq(), only needed for old compilers, very unlikely on ARMv6+. Note : ARMv7-M should eventually be ifdefed-out of cmpxchg64. But it's not supported by the Linux kernel currently. Put back arm < v6 cmpxchg support.

2009-05-28[ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriersRussell King3-9/+68
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking: - cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM. - test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers. So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub operations which do not require barriers.

2009-05-07[ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation typesPaul Gortmaker1-7/+9
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is required. The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16 bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the top half of a register. The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value), so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value. The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

2009-04-15[ARM] 5450/1: Flush only the needed range when unmapping a VMAAaro Koskinen1-4/+21
When unmapping N pages (e.g. shared memory) the amount of TLB flushes done can be (N*PAGE_SIZE/ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE)*N although it should be N at maximum. With PREEMPT kernel ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE is 8 pages, so there is a noticeable performance penalty when unmapping a large VMA and the system is spending its time in flush_tlb_range(). The problem is that tlb_end_vma() is always flushing the full VMA range. The subrange that needs to be flushed can be calculated by tlb_remove_tlb_entry(). This approach was suggested by Hugh Dickins, and is also used by other arches. The speed increase is roughly 3x for 8M mappings and for larger mappings even more.

2009-03-15[ARM] Feroceon: add highmem support to L2 cache handling codeNicolas Pitre1-0/+1
The choice is between looping over the physical range and performing single cache line operations, or to map highmem pages somewhere, as cache range ops are possible only on virtual addresses. Because L2 range ops are much faster, we go with the later by factoring the physical-to-virtual address conversion and use a fixmap entry for it in the HIGHMEM case. Possible future optimizations to avoid the pte setup cost: - do the pte setup for highmem pages only - determine a threshold for doing a line-by-line processing on physical addresses when the range is small Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
2009-03-15[ARM] make page_to_dma() highmem awareNicolas Pitre2-0/+11
If a machine class has a custom __virt_to_bus() implementation then it must provide a __arch_page_to_dma() implementation as well which is _not_ based on page_address() to support highmem. This patch fixes existing __arch_page_to_dma() and provide a default implementation otherwise. The default implementation for highmem is based on __pfn_to_bus() which is defined only when no custom __virt_to_bus() is provided by the machine class. That leaves only ebsa110 and footbridge which cannot support highmem until they provide their own __arch_page_to_dma() implementation. But highmem support on those legacy platforms with limited memory is certainly not a priority. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
2009-03-15[ARM] introduce dma_cache_maint_page()Nicolas Pitre2-1/+6
This is a helper to be used by the DMA mapping API to handle cache maintenance for memory identified by a page structure instead of a virtual address. Those pages may or may not be highmem pages, and when they're highmem pages, they may or may not be virtually mapped. When they're not mapped then there is no L1 cache to worry about. But even in that case the L2 cache must be processed since unmapped highmem pages can still be L2 cached. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
2009-03-15[ARM] kmap supportNicolas Pitre2-3/+38
The kmap virtual area borrows a 2MB range at the top of the 16MB area below PAGE_OFFSET currently reserved for kernel modules and/or the XIP kernel. This 2MB corresponds to the range covered by 2 consecutive second-level page tables, or a single pmd entry as seen by the Linux page table abstraction. Because XIP kernels are unlikely to be seen on systems needing highmem support, there shouldn't be any shortage of VM space for modules (14 MB for modules is still way more than twice the typical usage). Because the virtual mapping of highmem pages can go away at any moment after kunmap() is called on them, we need to bypass the delayed cache flushing provided by flush_dcache_page() in that case. The atomic kmap versions are based on fixmaps, and __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() is used directly in that case. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>
2009-03-15[ARM] fixmap supportNicolas Pitre1-0/+41
This is the minimum fixmap interface expected to be implemented by architectures supporting highmem. We have a second level page table already allocated and covering 0xfff00000-0xffffffff because the exception vector page is located at 0xffff0000, and various cache tricks already use some entries above 0xffff0000. Therefore the PTEs covering 0xfff00000-0xfffeffff are free to be used. However the XScale cache flushing code already uses virtual addresses between 0xfffe0000 and 0xfffeffff. So this reserves the 0xfff00000-0xfffdffff range for fixmap stuff. The Documentation/arm/memory.txt information is updated accordingly, including the information about the actual top of DMA memory mapping region which didn't match the code.

2009-03-12[ARM] 5422/1: ARM: MMU: add a Non-cacheable Normal executable memory typePaul Walmsley1-0/+1
This patch adds a Non-cacheable Normal ARM executable memory type, MT_MEMORY_NONCACHED. On OMAP3, this is used for rapid dynamic voltage/frequency scaling in the VDD2 voltage domain. OMAP3's SDRAM controller (SDRC) is in the VDD2 voltage domain, and its clock frequency must change along with voltage. The SDRC clock change code cannot run from SDRAM itself, since SDRAM accesses are paused during the clock change. So the current implementation of the DVFS code executes from OMAP on-chip SRAM, aka "OCM RAM." If the OCM RAM pages are marked as Cacheable, the ARM cache controller will attempt to flush dirty cache lines to the SDRC, so it can fill those lines with OCM RAM instruction code. The problem is that the SDRC is paused during DVFS, and so any SDRAM access causes the ARM MPU subsystem to hang. TI's original solution to this problem was to mark the OCM RAM sections as Strongly Ordered memory, thus preventing caching. This is overkill: since the memory is marked as non-bufferable, OCM RAM writes become needlessly slow. The idea of "Strongly Ordered SRAM" is also conceptually disturbing. Previous LAKML list discussion is here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg54312.html This memory type MT_MEMORY_NONCACHED is used for OCM RAM by a future patch.
