2014-10-16ARM: mm: allow text and rodata sections to be read-onlyKees Cook
This introduces CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, making kernel text and rodata read-only. Additionally, this splits rodata from text so that rodata can also be NX, which may lead to wasted memory when aligning to SECTION_SIZE. The read-only areas are made writable during ftrace updates and kexec.

2014-08-27ARM: 8129/1: errata: work around Cortex-A15 erratum 830321 using dummy strexMark Rutland
On revisions of Cortex-A15 prior to r3p3, a CLREX instruction at PL1 may falsely trigger a watchpoint exception, leading to potential data aborts during exception return and/or livelock. This patch resolves the issue in the following ways: - Replacing our uses of CLREX with a dummy STREX sequence instead (as we did for v6 CPUs). - Removing the clrex code from v7_exit_coherency_flush and derivatives, since this only exists as a minor performance improvement when non-cached exclusives are in use (Linux doesn't use these). Benchmarking on a variety of ARM cores revealed no measurable performance difference with this change applied, so the change is performed unconditionally and no new Kconfig entry is added.

2014-05-25ARM: 8043/1: uprobes need icache flush after xol writeVictor Kamensky
After instruction write into xol area, on ARM V7 architecture code need to flush dcache and icache to sync them up for given set of addresses. Having just 'flush_dcache_page(page)' call is not enough - it is possible to have stale instruction sitting in icache for given xol area slot address. Introduce arch_uprobe_ixol_copy weak function that by default calls uprobes copy_to_page function and than flush_dcache_page function and on ARM define new one that handles xol slot copy in ARM specific way flush_uprobe_xol_access function shares/reuses implementation with/of flush_ptrace_access function and takes care of writing instruction to user land address space on given variety of different cache types on ARM CPUs. Because flush_uprobe_xol_access does not have vma around flush_ptrace_access was split into two parts. First that retrieves set of condition from vma and common that receives those conditions as flags. Note ARM cache flush function need kernel address through which instruction write happened, so instead of using uprobes copy_to_page function changed code to explicitly map page and do memcpy. Note arch_uprobe_copy_ixol function, in similar way as copy_to_user_page function, has preempt_disable/preempt_enable.

2013-08-20ARM: cacheflush: don't round address range up to nearest pageWill Deacon
The flush_cache_user_range macro takes a pair of addresses describing the start and end of the virtual address range to flush. Due to an accidental oversight when flush_cache_range_user was introduced, the address range was rounded up so that the start and end addresses were page-aligned.

2012-09-25ARM: mm: implement LoUIS API for cache maintenance opsLorenzo Pieralisi
ARM v7 architecture introduced the concept of cache levels and related control registers. New processors like A7 and A15 embed an L2 unified cache controller that becomes part of the cache level hierarchy. Some operations in the kernel like cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable do not require a flush of the entire cache hierarchy to DRAM but just the cache levels belonging to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS), which in most of ARM v7 systems correspond to L1. The current cache flushing API used in cpu_suspend and __cpu_disable, flush_cache_all(), ends up flushing the whole cache hierarchy since for v7 it cleans and invalidates all cache levels up to Level of Coherency (LoC) which cripples system performance when used in hot paths like hotplug and cpuidle. Therefore a new kernel cache maintenance API must be added to cope with latest ARM system requirements. This patch adds flush_cache_louis() to the ARM kernel cache maintenance API. This function cleans and invalidates all data cache levels up to the Level of Unification Inner Shareable (LoUIS) and invalidates the instruction cache for processors that support it (> v7). This patch also creates an alias of the cache LoUIS function to flush_kern_all for all processor versions prior to v7, so that the current cache flushing behaviour is unchanged for those processors. v7 cache maintenance code implements a cache LoUIS function that cleans and invalidates the D-cache up to LoUIS and invalidates the I-cache, according to the new API.

2012-07-31ARM: 7479/1: mm: avoid NULL dereference when flushing gate_vma with VIVT cachesWill Deacon
The vivt_flush_cache_{range,page} functions check that the mm_struct of the VMA being flushed has been active on the current CPU before performing the cache maintenance. The gate_vma has a NULL mm_struct pointer and, as such, will cause a kernel fault if we try to flush it with the above operations. This happens during ELF core dumps, which include the gate_vma as it may be useful for debugging purposes. This patch adds checks to the VIVT cache flushing functions so that VMAs with a NULL mm_struct are flushed unconditionally (the vectors page may be dirty if we use it to store the current TLS pointer).

2009-03-23[ARM] pxa: add base support for Marvell's PXA168 processor lineEric Miao
"""The Marvell® PXA168 processor is the first in a family of application processors targeted at mass market opportunities in computing and consumer devices. It balances high computing and multimedia performance with low power consumption to support extended battery life, and includes a wealth of integrated peripherals to reduce overall BOM cost .... """ See http://www.marvell.com/featured/pxa168.jsp for more information. 1. Marvell Mohawk core is a hybrid of xscale3 and its own ARM core, there are many enhancements like instructions for flushing the whole D-cache, and so on 2. Clock reuses Russell's common clkdev, and added the basic support for UART1/2. 3. Devices are a bit different from the 'mach-pxa' way, the platform devices are now dynamically allocated only when necessary (i.e. when pxa_register_device() is called). Description for each device are stored in an array of 'struct pxa_device_desc'. Now that: a. this array of device description is marked with __initdata and can be freed up system is fully up b. which means board code has to add all needed devices early in his initializing function c. platform specific data can now be marked as __initdata since they are allocated and copied by platform_device_add_data() 4. only the basic UART1/2/3 are added, more devices will come later.
