Now local variables kernel_x_start and kernel_x_end defined using
'unsigned long' type which is wrong because they represent physical
memory range and will be calculated wrongly if LPAE is enabled.
As result, all following code in map_lowmem() will not work correctly.
For example, Keystone 2 boot is broken because
kernel_x_start == 0x0000 0000
kernel_x_end == 0x0080 0000
instead of
kernel_x_start == 0x0000 0008 0000 0000
kernel_x_end == 0x0000 0008 0080 0000
and as result whole low memory will be mapped with MT_MEMORY_RW
permissions by code (start > kernel_x_end):
} else if (start >= kernel_x_end) {
map.pfn = __phys_to_pfn(start);
map.virtual = __phys_to_virt(start);
map.length = end - start;
map.type = MT_MEMORY_RW;
create_mapping(&map);
}
Hence, fix it by using phys_addr_t type for variables kernel_x_start
and kernel_x_end.

Currently the arm page table dumping code starts dumping page tables
from USER_PGTABLES_CEILING. This is unnecessary for skipping any entries
related to userspace as the swapper_pg_dir does not contain such
entries, and results in a couple of unfortuante side effects.
Firstly, any kernel mappings which might exist below
USER_PGTABLES_CEILING will not be accounted in the dump output. This
masks any entries erroneously created below this address.
Secondly, if the final page table entry walked is part of a valid
mapping the page table dumping code will not log the region this entry
is part of, as the final note_page call in walk_pgd will trigger an
early return when 0 < USER_PGTABLES_CEILING. Luckily this isn't seen on
contemporary systems as they typically don't have enough RAM to extend
the linear mapping right to the end of the address space.
Due to the way addr is constructed in the walk_* functions, it can never
be less than USER_PGTABLES_CEILING when walking the page tables, so it
is not necessary to avoid dereferencing invalid table addresses. The
existing checks for st->current_prot and st->marker[1].start_address are
sufficient to ensure we will not print and/or dereference garbage when
trying to log information.
This patch removes both problematic uses of USER_PGTABLES_CEILING from
the arm page table dumping code, preventing both of these issues. We
will now report any low mappings, and the final note_page call will not
return early, ensuring all regions are logged.

This patch plumbs the existing ARM IOMMU DMA infrastructure (which isn't

that we can use IOMMUs for DMA transfers in a more generic fashion.
Since this significantly complicates the arch_setup_dma_ops function,
it is moved out of line into dma-mapping.c. If CONFIG_ARM_DMA_USE_IOMMU
is not set, the iommu parameter is ignored and the normal ops are used
instead.

Under extremely rare conditions, in an MPCore node consisting of at
least 3 CPUs, two CPUs trying to perform a STREX to data on the same
shared cache line can enter a livelock situation.
This patch enables the HW mechanism that overcomes the bug. This fixes
the incorrect setup of the STREX backoff delay bit due to a wrong
description in the specification.
Note that enabling the STREX backoff delay mechanism is done by
leaving the bit *cleared*, while the bit was currently being set by
the proc-v7.S code.

Commit 68f3b875f7
"ARM: integrator: make the Integrator multiplatform"
broke allmodconfig like this:
>> arch/arm/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:114:2: error: #error
"SMP is not supported on this platform"
(etc)
This is due to the fact that as we turned on multiplatform
for the Integrator, this enabled a lot of non-applicable
CPU's to be selected for its multiplatform images, due to
a lot of "depends on ARCH_INTEGRATOR" restrictions in
arch/arm/mm/Kconfig for the different ARM CPU types.
Fix this by restricting the CPU selections to respective
multiplatform config, which now becomes a subset of the
possible Integrator configurations, or alternatively the
non-multiplatform config plus ARCH_INTEGRATOR, i.e.:
if (!ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM || ARCH_MULTI_Vx) &&
(ARCH_INTEGRATOR || ARCH_FOO ...)
Since the Integrator has been converted to multiplatform,
this will often take the short form:

ARM support for CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
- add the new bpf syscall to ARM.
- drop a redundant return statement in __iommu_alloc_remap()
- fix a performance issue noticed by Thomas Petazzoni with
kmap_atomic().
- fix an issue with the L2 cache OF parsing code which caused it to
incorrectly print warnings on each boot, and make the warning text
more consistent with the rest of the code
* 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 8180/1: mm: implement no-highmem fast path in kmap_atomic_pfn()
ARM: 8183/1: l2c: Improve l2c310_of_parse() error message
ARM: 8181/1: Drop extra return statement
ARM: 8182/1: l2c: Make l2x0_cache_size_of_parse() return 'int'
ARM: enable bpf syscall
Since CONFIG_HIGHMEM got enabled on ARMv5 Kirkwood, we have noticed a
very significant drop in networking performance. The test were
conducted on an OpenBlocks A7 board. Without this patch, the outgoing
performance measured with iperf are:
- highmem OFF, TSO OFF 544 Mbit/s
- highmem OFF, TSO ON 942 Mbit/s
- highmem ON, TSO OFF 306 Mbit/s
- highmem ON, TSO ON 246 Mbit/s
On this Kirkwood platform, the L2 cache is a Feroceon cache, and with
this cache, all the range operations have to be done on virtual
addresses and not physical addresses. Therefore, whenever
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is enabled, the cache maintenance operations call
kmap_atomic_pfn() and kunmap_atomic().
However, kmap_atomic_pfn() does not implement the same fast path for
non-highmem pages as the one implemented in kmap_atomic(), and this is
one of the reason for the performance drop. While this patch does not
fully restore the performances, it clearly improves them a lot:
without patch with patch
- highmem ON, TSO OFF 306 Mbit/s 387 Mbit/s
- highmem ON, TSO ON 246 Mbit/s 434 Mbit/s
We're still far from the !CONFIG_HIGHMEM performances, but it does
improve a bit the situation.
Thanks a lot to Ezequiel Garcia and Gregory Clement for all the
testing work around this topic.

Since commit f3354ab674 ("ARM: 8169/1: l2c: parse cache properties from
ePAPR definitions") the following error is seen on imx6q:
[ 0.000000] PL310 OF: cache setting yield illegal associativity
[ 0.000000] PL310 OF: -2147097556 calculated, only 8 and 16 legal
As imx6q does not pass the "cache-size" and "cache-sets" properties in DT, the function l2x0_cache_size_of_parse() returns early and keep the 'associativity' pointer uninitialized.
To fix this problem, return error codes inside l2x0_cache_size_of_parse() and only use the 'associativity' pointer result if l2x0_cache_size_of_parse() succeeds.

With commit a05e54c103 ("ARM: 8031/2: change fixmap mapping region to

precluded any other uses of the fixmap region. In order to support other

adjacent 1MB range 0xffe00000-0xfff00000 is availabe.

ARM is different from other architectures in that fixmap pages are indexed
with a positive offset from FIXADDR_START. Other architectures index with
a negative offset from FIXADDR_TOP. In order to use the generic fixmap.h
definitions, this patch redefines FIXADDR_TOP to be inclusive of the
useable range. That is, FIXADDR_TOP is the virtual address of the topmost
fixed page. The newly defined FIXADDR_END is the first virtual address
past the fixed mappings.

For architectures without coherent DMA, memory for DMA may need to be
remapped with coherent attributes. Factor out the the remapping code from
arm and put it in a common location to reduce code duplication.
As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct
as ioremap_page_range is intended to bring in io addresses into the cpu
space and not regular kernel managed memory.

When both 'cache-size' and 'cache-sets' are specified for a L2 cache
controller node, parse those properties and set up the
set size based on which type of L2 cache controller we are using.
Update the L2 cache controller Device Tree binding with the optional
'cache-size', 'cache-sets', 'cache-block-size' and 'cache-line-size'
properties. These come from the ePAPR specification.
Using the cache size, number of sets and cache line size we can
calculate desired associativity of the L2 cache. This is done
by the calculation:
set size = cache size / sets
ways = set size / line size
way size = cache size / ways = sets * line size
associativity = cache size / way size
Example output from the PB1176 DT that look like this:
L2: l2-cache {
compatible = "arm,l220-cache";
(...)
arm,override-auxreg;
cache-size = <131072>; // 128kB
cache-sets = <512>;
cache-line-size = <32>;
};
Ends up like this:
L2C OF: override cache size: 131072 bytes (128KB)
L2C OF: override line size: 32 bytes
L2C OF: override way size: 16384 bytes (16KB)
L2C OF: override associativity: 8
L2C: DT/platform modifies aux control register: 0x02020fff -> 0x02030fff
L2C-220 cache controller enabled, 8 ways, 128 kB
L2C-220: CACHE_ID 0x41000486, AUX_CTRL 0x06030fff
Which is consistent with the value earlier hardcoded for the
PB1176 platform.

ARM: LPAE: drop wrong carry flag correction after adding TTBR1_OFFSET
In commit 7fb00c2fca ("ARM: 8114/1: LPAE:
load upper bits of early TTBR0/TTBR1") part which fixes carrying in adding
TTBR1_OFFSET to TTRR1 was wrong:
addls ttbr1, ttbr1, #TTBR1_OFFSET
adcls tmp, tmp, #0
addls doesn't update flags, adcls adds carry from cmp above:
cmp ttbr1, tmp @ PHYS_OFFSET > PAGE_OFFSET?
Condition 'ls' means carry flag is clear or zero flag is set, thus only one
case is affected: when PHYS_OFFSET == PAGE_OFFSET.
It seems safer to remove this fixup. Bug is here for ages and nobody
complained. Let's fix it separately.

The ARMv6 and ARMv7 early abort handlers clear the exclusive monitors
upon entry to the kernel, but this is redundant:
- We clear the monitors on every exception return since commit
200b812d00 ("Clear the exclusive monitor when returning from an
exception"), so this is not necessary to ensure the monitors are
cleared before returning from a fault handler.
- Any dummy STREX will target a temporary scratch area in memory, and
may succeed or fail without corrupting useful data. Its status value
will not be used.
- Any other STREX in the kernel must be preceded by an LDREX, which
will initialise the monitors consistently and will not depend on the
earlier state of the monitors.
Therefore we have no reason to care about the initial state of the
exclusive monitors when a data abort is taken, and clearing the monitors
prior to exception return (as we already do) is sufficient.
This patch removes the redundant clearing of the exclusive monitors from
the early abort handlers.
