2016-11-15ARM: fix backtraceRussell King1-34/+3
Recent kernels have changed their behaviour to be more inconsistent when handling printk continuations. With todays kernels, the output looks sane on the console, but dmesg splits individual printk()s which do not have the KERN_CONT prefix into separate lines. Since the assembly code is not trivial to add the KERN_CONT, and we ideally want to avoid using KERN_CONT (as multiple printk()s can race between different threads), convert the assembly dumping the register values to C code, and have the C code build the output a line at a time before dumping to the console. This avoids the KERN_CONT issue, and also avoids situations where the output is intermixed with other console activity. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
2014-07-18ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+Russell King1-1/+1
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

2013-12-29ARM: make kernel oops easier to readRussell King1-10/+10
We don't need the offset for the first function name in each backtrace entry; this needlessly consumes screen space. This is virtually always the first or second instruction in the called function. Also, recognise stmfd instructions which include r10 as a valid stack saving instruction, and when dumping the registers, dump six registers per line rather than five, and fix the wrapping.

2011-10-17ARM: 7068/1: process: change from __backtrace to dump_stack in show_regsLaura Abbott1-6/+0
Currently, show_regs calls __backtrace which does nothing if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set. Switch to dump_stack which handles both CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER and CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND correctly. __backtrace is now superseded by dump_stack in general and show_regs was the last caller so remove __backtrace as well.

2010-04-21ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.cRussell King1-2/+2
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077' This is caused because: .section .data .section .text .section .text .previous does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections is not known. Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2006-06-28[ARM] nommu: backtrace code must not reference a discarded sectionRussell King1-4/+1
The code in "1007:" is in the .fixup section, which in the mmuless case is discarded. Since this code is referenced from the .text section, it causes an link error. Move this code into the .text section instead. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+157
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
