2011-08-21ARM: introduce atag_offset to replace boot_paramsNicolas Pitre2-0/+3
The boot_params member of the mdesc structure is used to provide a default physical address for the ATAG list. Since this value is fixed at compile time and sometimes based on constants such as ARCH_PHYS_OFFSET, it gets in the way of runtime PHYS_OFFSET and CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT usage. Let's introduce atag_offset which should contains only the relative offset from PHYS_OFFSET instead of an absolute value, in preparation to move all instance of boot_params over to it.

2011-08-11ARM: mmp: Also start timer 1 on boot.Lennert Buytenhek1-6/+9
Currently, arch-mmp/time.c uses timer 0 both as a clocksource timer and as a clockevent timer, the latter by setting up a comparator interrupt to match on 'current_time + delta'. This is problematic if delta is small enough, as that can lead to 'current_time + delta' already being in the past when comparator setup has finished, leading to the requested event not triggering. As there is also a silicon issue that requires stopping a timer's counter while writing to one of its match registers, we'll switch to using two separate timers -- timer 0 as clockevent timer, which we'll start and stop on every invocation of ->set_next_event(), and timer 1 as clocksource timer, which will be free-running. This first patch enables timer 1 on boot, so that we can use it as clocksource timer.

2011-08-10x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameterAndy Lutomirski9-89/+90
There are three choices: vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls. vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code. vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.

2011-08-10x86-64: Wire up getcpu syscallAndy Lutomirski1-0/+2

Programs that for some reason don't want to use the vdso should still be able to call getcpu without relying on the slow emulated vsyscall. It costs almost nothing to expose it as a real syscall. We also need this for the following patch in vsyscall=native mode.

2011-08-09ARM: 7007/1: alignment: Prevent ignoring of faults with ARMv6 unaligned ↵Dave Martin1-12/+30
access model Currently, it's possible to set the kernel to ignore alignment faults when changing the alignment fault handling mode at runtime via /proc/sys/alignment, even though this is undesirable on ARMv6 and above, where it can result in infinite spins where an un-fixed- up instruction repeatedly faults. In addition, the kernel clobbers any alignment mode specified on the command-line if running on ARMv6 or above. This patch factors out the necessary safety check into a couple of new helper functions, and checks and modifies the fault handling mode as appropriate on boot and on writes to /proc/cpu/alignment. Prior to ARMv6, the behaviour is unchanged. For ARMv6 and above, the behaviour changes as follows: * Attempting to ignore faults on ARMv6 results in the mode being forced to UM_FIXUP instead. A warning is printed if this happened as a result of a write to /proc/cpu/alignment. The user's UM_WARN bit (if present) is still honoured. * An alignment= argument from the kernel command-line is now honoured, except that the kernel will modify the specified mode as described above. This is allows modes such as UM_SIGNAL and UM_WARN to be active immediately from boot, which is useful for debugging purposes.
