Commit 7dd968163f ("bitmap: bitmap_equal memcmp optimization") was
rather more restrictive than necessary; we can use memcmp() to implement
bitmap_equal() as long as the number of bits can be proved to be a
multiple of 8. And architectures other than s390 may be able to make
good use of this optimisation.

Commit 06a4b6d009 ("ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor
header layout for v7-M") fixed an issue in the layout of the header
of the compressed kernel image that was caused by the assembler
emitting narrow opcodes for 'mov r0, r0', and for this reason, the
mnemonic was updated to use the W() macro, which will append the .w
suffix (which forces a wide encoding) if required, i.e., when building
the kernel in Thumb2 mode.
However, this failed to take into account that on Thumb2 kernels built
for CPUs that are also ARM capable, the entry point is entered in ARM
mode, and so the instructions emitted here will be ARM instructions
that only exist in a wide encoding to begin with, which is why the
assembler rejects the .w suffix here and aborts the build with the
following message:
head.S: Assembler messages:
head.S:132: Error: width suffixes are invalid in ARM mode -- `mov.w r0,r0'
So replace the W(mov) with separate ARM and Thumb2 instructions, where
the latter will only be used for THUMB2_ONLY builds.

As reported by Patrice, the header layout of the decompressor is
incorrect when building for v7-M. In this case, the __nop macro
resolves to 'mov r0, r0', which is emitted as a narrow encoding,
resulting in the header data fields to end up at lower offsets than
required.
Given the variety of targets we need to support with the same code,
the startup sequence is a bit of a jumble, and uses instructions
and macros whose encoding widths cannot be specified (badr), or only
exist in a narrow encoding (bx)
So force the use of a wide encoding in __nop, and replace the start
sequence with a simple jump to the label marking the start of code,
preceded by a Thumb2 mode switch if required (using explicit wide
encodings where appropriate). The label itself can be moved to the
start of code [where it belongs] due to the larger range of branch
instructions as compared to adr instructions.

When the compressed image needs to be relocated to avoid being
overwritten by the decompression process, we need to relocate
the hyp vectors as well so that we can find them once the
decompression has taken effect.
For that, we perform the following calculation:
u32 v = __hyp_get_vectors();
v += offset;
__hyp_set_vectors(v);
But we're guaranteed that the initial value of v as returned by
__hyp_get_vectors is always __hyp_stub_vectors, because we have
just set it by calling __hyp_stub_install.
So let's remove the use of __hyp_get_vectors, and directly use
__hyp_stub_vectors instead.

If the bootloader uses the long descriptor format and jumps to
kernel decompressor code, TTBCR may not be in a right state.
Before enabling the MMU, it is required to clear the TTBCR.PD0
field to use TTBR0 for translation table walks.
The commit dbece45894 ("ARM: 7501/1: decompressor:

doesn't consider all the bits for the size of TTBCR.N.
Clear TTBCR.PD0 field and reset all the three bits of TTBCR.N to
indicate the use of TTBR0 and the correct base address width.

The "targets" exists to specify which files need the corresponding
".*_cmd" files to be included during the build. In other words, it
is used for files that need to detect the change of the command line
by if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule. While, these
files are just copied by "$(call cmd,shipped)". Adding them to the
"targets" is meaningless because $(call cmd,...) never creates
".*_cmd" files. Such files as ".lib1funcs.S.cmd", ".ashldi3.S.cmd"
do not exist in the first place.

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the
assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr'
instruction did not take account of their ISA.
Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new
macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM()
mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification
is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

- Atmel At91 is flipping the bit and going multiplatform. This includes some
cleanups and removal of code, and the final flip of config dependencies
- Shmobile has several platforms that are going multiplatform, but this
branch also contains a bunch of cleanups that they weren't able to keep
separate in a good way. THere's also a removal of one of their SoCs and the
corresponding boards (sh7372 and mackerel).

There is currently a hardcoded limit of 64KB for the DTB to live in and
be extended with ATAG info. Some DTBs have outgrown that limit:
$ du -b arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-n900.dtb
70212 arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-n900.dtb
Furthermore, the actual size passed to atags_to_fdt() included the stack
size which is obviously wrong.
The initial DTB size is known, so use it to size the allocated workspace
with a 50% growth assumption and relocate the temporary stack above that.
This is also clamped to 32KB min / 1MB max for robustness against bad
DTB data.

To speed up decompression, the decompressor sets up a flat, cacheable
mapping of memory. However, when there is insufficient space to hold
the page tables for this mapping, we don't bother to enable the caches
and subsequently skip all the cache maintenance hooks.
Skipping the cache maintenance before jumping to the relocated code
allows the processor to predict the branch and populate the I-cache
with stale data before the relocation loop has completed (since a
bootloader may have SCTLR.I set, which permits normal, cacheable
instruction fetches regardless of SCTLR.M).
This patch moves the cache maintenance check into the maintenance
routines themselves, allowing the v6/v7 versions to invalidate the
I-cache regardless of the MMU state.

With patch #8067/1 ("zImage: ensure header in LE format for BE8 kernels")
applied, it is no longer possible to determine the endianness of a compiled
kernel image. This normally shouldn't matter to the boot environment,
except for those cases where the selection of a ramdisk or root filesystem
with a matching endianness has to be automated.
Let's add a flag to the zImage header indicating the actual endianness.
Four bytes from offset 0x30 can be interpreted as follows:
04 03 02 01 big endian kernel
01 02 03 04 little endian kernel
Anything else should be interpreted as "unknown", in which case it is
most likely that patch #8067/1 was not applied either and the zImage
magic number at offset 0x24 could be used instead to determine
endianness. No zImage before this patch ever produced 0x01020304 nor
0x04030201 at offset 0x30 so there is no confusion possible.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code. The existing mess was
becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
have done over time. This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
implements a few performance improvements as well.
- Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
support, moving some code and data into alignment.c
- DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people. This
adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.
- Hibernation support for ARM
- Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules
- add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs
- rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
exceptions.
- support for big endian page tables
- fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
can record stack traces.
- Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.
- Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.
- Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to
memblock to handle the early memory initialisation.

This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
"None", "Regular", and "Strong":
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
"Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.
"Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack
protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.
For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:
-fstack-protector-all:
Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking
suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial
use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users
(e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still
low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not
suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option
from the kernel many years ago.
-fstack-protector:
Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
(--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local
char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with
string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those
functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no
measurable performance or size overhead.
-fstack-protector-strong
Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not
just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to
stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a
canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions
with only a small change in performance. Based on the original
design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any
of:
- local variable's address used as part of the right hand side
of an assignment or function argument
- local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
regardless of array type or length
- uses register local variables
https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1xXBH6rRZue4f296vGt9YQcuLVQHeE516stHwt8M9xyU
Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
gcc-4.9 in three configurations:
- defconfig
11430641 kernel text size
36110 function bodies
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)
With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack
protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used
during decompression and was never used before, the exposure
here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the
stack guard is back to normal.
Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel
builds for the last 8 months with no problems.

SH-Mobile platforms are transitioning from non-multiplatform to
multiplatform kernel. A new ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI configuration symbol has
been created to group all multiplatform-enabled SH-Mobile SoCs. The
existing ARCH_SHMOBILE configuration symbol groups SoCs that haven't

This arrangement works fine for the arch/ code, but lots of drivers
needed on both ARCH_SHMOBILE and ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI depend on
ARCH_SHMOBILE only. In order to avoid changing them, rename
ARCH_SHMOBILE to ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY, and create a new boolean
ARCH_SHMOBILE configuration symbol that is selected by both
ARCH_SHMOBILE_LEGACY and ARCH_SHMOBILE_MULTI.
