2011-05-14ARM: 6883/1: ptrace: Migrate to regsets frameworkDave Martin
This patch migrates the implementation of the ptrace interface for the core integer registers, legacy FPA registers and VFP registers to use the regsets framework. As an added bonus, all this stuff gets included in coredumps at no extra cost. Without this patch, coredumps contained no VFP state. Third-party extension register sets (iwmmx, crunch) are not migrated by this patch, and continue to use the old implementation; these should be migratable without much extra work.

2011-05-12ARM: 6893/1: Allow for kernel command line concatenationVictor Boivie
This patch allows the provided CONFIG_CMDLINE to be concatenated with the one provided by the boot loader. This is useful to merge the static values defined in CONFIG_CMDLINE with the boot loader's (possibly) more dynamic values, such as startup reasons and more.

2011-05-12ARM: 6889/1: futex: add SMP futex support when !CPU_USE_DOMAINSWill Deacon
This patch uses the load/store exclusive instructions to add SMP futex support for ARM. Since the ARM architecture does not provide instructions for unprivileged exclusive memory accesses, we can only provide SMP futexes when CPU domain support is disabled.

2011-05-12ARM: 6859/1: Add writethrough dcache support for ARM926EJS processorMark A. Greer
The ARM kernel supports writethrough data cache via the CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH option. However, that functionality wasn't implemented in the arch/arm/boot/compressed code. It is now necessary due to a new ARM926EJS processor that has an issue with writeback data cache. Signed-off-by: Mark A.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined data processing instructionsJon Medhurst
The instruction decoding in space_cccc_000x needs to reject probing of instructions with undefined patterns as they may in future become defined and then emulated faultily - as has already happened with the SMC instruction. This fix is achieved by testing for the instruction patterns we want to probe and making the the default fall-through paths reject probes. This also allows us to remove some explicit tests for instructions that we wish to reject, as that is now the default action.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Remove redundant code in space_1111Jon Medhurst

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix emulation of PLD instructionsJon Medhurst
The PLD instructions wasn't being decoded correctly and the emulation code wasn't adjusting PC correctly. As the PLD instruction is only a performance hint we emulate it as a simple nop, and we can broaden the instruction decoding to take into account newer PLI and PLDW instructions.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of SETEND instructionsJon Medhurst
The emulation of SETEND was broken as it changed the endianess for the running kprobes handling code. Rather than adding a new simulation routine to fix this we'll just reject probing of SETEND as these should be very rare in the kernel. Note, the function emulate_none is now unused but it is left in the source code as future patches will use it.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of all coprocessor instructionsJon Medhurst
The kernel doesn't currently support VFP or Neon code, and probing of code with CP15 operations is fraught with bad consequences. Therefore we don't need the ability to probe coprocessor instructions and the code to support this can be removed. The removed code also had at least two bugs: - MRC into R15 should set CPSR not trash PC - LDC and STC which use PC as base register needed the address offset by 8 Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix emulation of USAD8 instructionsJon Medhurst
The USAD8 instruction wasn't being explicitly decoded leading to the incorrect emulation routine being called. It can be correctly decoded in the same way as the signed multiply instructions so we move the decoding there.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix emulation of SXTB16, SXTB, SXTH, UXTB16, UXTB and UXTH ↵Jon Medhurst
instructions These sign extension instructions are encoded as extend-and-add instructions where the register to add is specified as r15.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined media instructionsJon Medhurst

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix emulation of LDRD and STRD instructionsJon Medhurst
The decoding of these instructions got the register indexed and immediate indexed forms the wrong way around, causing incorrect emulation. Instructions like "LDRD Rx, [Rx]" were corrupting Rx because the base register writeback was being performed unconditionally, overwriting the value just loaded from memory. The fix is to only writeback the base register when that form of the instruction is used. Note, now that we reject probing writeback with PC the emulation code doesn't need the check rn!=15.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of LDR/STR instructions which update PC ↵Jon Medhurst
unpredictably Using PC as an base register with writeback is UNPREDICTABLE, as is non word-sized loads or stores of PC.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of STREX and LDREX instructionsJon Medhurst
The emulation code for STREX and LDREX instructions is faulty, however, rather than attempting to fix this we reject probes of these instructions. We do this because they can never succeed in gaining exclusive access as the exception framework clears the exclusivity monitor when a probes breakpoint is hit. (This is a general problem when probing all instructions executing between a LDREX and its corresponding STREX and can lead to infinite retry loops.)

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined multiply instructionsJon Medhurst
The instructions space for 'Multiply and multiply-accumulate' instructions contains some undefined patterns. We need to reject probing of these because they may in future become defined and the kprobes code may then emulate them faultily. This has already happened with the new MLS instruction which this patch also adds correct decoding for as well as tightening up other decoding tests.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix emulation of MRS instructionJon Medhurst

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Reject probing MRS instructions which read SPSRJon Medhurst
We need to reject probing of instructions which read SPSR because we can't handle this as the value in SPSR is lost when the exception handler for the probe breakpoint first runs.

2011-04-28ARM: kprobes: Fix probing of conditionally executed instructionsJon Medhurst
