2009-10-02ARM: 5728/1: Proper prefetch abort handling on ARMv6 and ARMv7Kirill A. Shutemov1-1/+50
Currently, on ARMv6 and ARMv7, if an application tries to execute code (or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by incorrect prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort processes as a translation fault. To fix this we have to analyze instruction fault status register to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it accordingly. To make IFSR different from DFSR we set bit 31 which is reserved in both IFSR and DFSR. This patch also tries to protect from future hangs on unexpected exceptions. An application will be killed if unexpected exception type was received. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill@shutemov.name> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2009-10-02ARM: 5727/1: Pass IFSR register to do_PrefetchAbort()Kirill A. Shutemov30-53/+118
Instruction fault status register, IFSR, was introduced on ARMv6 to provide status information about the last insturction fault. It needed for proper prefetch abort handling. Now we have three prefetch abort model: * legacy - for CPUs before ARMv6. They doesn't provide neither IFSR nor IFAR. We simulate IFSR with section translation fault status for them to generalize code; * ARMv6 - provides IFSR, but not IFAR; * ARMv7 - provides both IFSR and IFAR. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2009-10-02ARM: 5740/1: fix valid_phys_addr_range() range checkGreg Ungerer1-1/+1
Commit 1522ac3ec95ff0230e7aa516f86b674fdf72866c ("Fix virtual to physical translation macro corner cases") breaks the end of memory check in valid_phys_addr_range(). The modified expression results in the apparent /dev/mem size being 2 bytes smaller than what it actually is. This patch reworks the expression to correctly check the address, while maintaining use of a valid address to __pa().

2009-09-28ARM: Don't allow highmem on SMP platforms without h/w TLB ops broadcastRussell King1-4/+33
We suffer an unfortunate combination of "features" which makes highmem support on platforms without hardware TLB maintainence broadcast difficult: - we need kmap_high_get() support for DMA cache coherence - this requires kmap_high() to take a spinlock with IRQs disabled - kmap_high() occasionally calls flush_all_zero_pkmaps() to clear out old mappings - flush_all_zero_pkmaps() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range(), which on s/w IPI'd systems eventually calls smp_call_function_many() - smp_call_function_many() must not be called with IRQs disabled: WARNING: at kernel/smp.c:380 smp_call_function_many+0xc4/0x240() Modules linked in: Backtrace: [<c00306f0>] (dump_backtrace+0x0/0x108) from [<c0286e6c>] (dump_stack+0x18/0x1c) r6:c007cd18 r5:c02ff228 r4:0000017c [<c0286e54>] (dump_stack+0x0/0x1c) from [<c0053e08>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x50/0x80) [<c0053db8>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x0/0x80) from [<c0053e50>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x18/0x1c) r7:00000003 r6:00000001 r5:c1ff4000 r4:c035fa34 [<c0053e38>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x0/0x1c) from [<c007cd18>] (smp_call_function_many+0xc4/0x240) [<c007cc54>] (smp_call_function_many+0x0/0x240) from [<c007cec0>] (smp_call_function+0x2c/0x38) [<c007ce94>] (smp_call_function+0x0/0x38) from [<c005980c>] (on_each_cpu+0x1c/0x38) [<c00597f0>] (on_each_cpu+0x0/0x38) from [<c0031788>] (flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x50/0x58) r6:00000001 r5:00000800 r4:c05f3590 [<c0031738>] (flush_tlb_kernel_range+0x0/0x58) from [<c009c600>] (flush_all_zero_pkmaps+0xc0/0xe8) [<c009c540>] (flush_all_zero_pkmaps+0x0/0xe8) from [<c009c6b4>] (kmap_high+0x8c/0x1e0) [<c009c628>] (kmap_high+0x0/0x1e0) from [<c00364a8>] (kmap+0x44/0x5c) [<c0036464>] (kmap+0x0/0x5c) from [<c0109dfc>] (cramfs_readpage+0x3c/0x194) [<c0109dc0>] (cramfs_readpage+0x0/0x194) from [<c0090c14>] (__do_page_cache_readahead+0x1f0/0x290) [<c0090a24>] (__do_page_cache_readahead+0x0/0x290) from [<c0090ce4>] (ra_submit+0x30/0x38) [<c0090cb4>] (ra_submit+0x0/0x38) from [<c0089384>] (filemap_fault+0x3dc/0x438) r4:c1819988 [<c0088fa8>] (filemap_fault+0x0/0x438) from [<c009d21c>] (__do_fault+0x58/0x43c) [<c009d1c4>] (__do_fault+0x0/0x43c) from [<c009e8cc>] (handle_mm_fault+0x104/0x318) [<c009e7c8>] (handle_mm_fault+0x0/0x318) from [<c0033c98>] (do_page_fault+0x188/0x1e4) [<c0033b10>] (do_page_fault+0x0/0x1e4) from [<c0033ddc>] (do_translation_fault+0x7c/0x84) [<c0033d60>] (do_translation_fault+0x0/0x84) from [<c002b474>] (do_DataAbort+0x40/0xa4) r8:c1ff5e20 r7:c0340120 r6:00000805 r5:c1ff5e54 r4:c03400d0 [<c002b434>] (do_DataAbort+0x0/0xa4) from [<c002bcac>] (__dabt_svc+0x4c/0x60) ...

2009-09-20ARM: Add support for checking access permissions on prefetch abortsRussell King1-3/+6
ARMv6 introduces non-executable mappings, which can cause prefetch aborts when an attempt is made to execute from such a mapping. Currently, this causes us to loop in the page fault handler since we don't correctly check for proper permissions. Fix this by checking that VMAs have VM_EXEC set for prefetch aborts.

2009-09-12ARM: Fix pfn_valid() for sparse memoryRussell King1-0/+32
On OMAP platforms, some people want to declare to segment up the memory between the kernel and a separate application such that there is a hole in the middle of the memory as far as Linux is concerned. However, they want to be able to mmap() the hole. This currently causes problems, because update_mmu_cache() thinks that there are valid struct pages for the "hole". Fix this by making pfn_valid() slightly more expensive, by checking whether the PFN is contained within the meminfo array.

2009-09-04ARM: 5691/1: fix cache aliasing issues between kmap() and kmap_atomic() with ↵Nicolas Pitre1-0/+8
highmem Let's suppose a highmem page is kmap'd with kmap(). A pkmap entry is used, the page mapped to it, and the virtual cache is dirtied. Then kunmap() is used which does virtually nothing except for decrementing a usage count. Then, let's suppose the _same_ page gets mapped using kmap_atomic(). It is therefore mapped onto a fixmap entry instead, which has a different virtual address unaware of the dirty cache data for that page sitting in the pkmap mapping. Fortunately it is easy to know if a pkmap mapping still exists for that page and use it directly with kmap_atomic(), thanks to kmap_high_get(). And actual testing with a printk in the added code path shows that this condition is actually met *extremely* frequently. Seems that we've been quite lucky that things have worked so well with highmem so far.

2009-09-02ARM: 5687/1: fix an oops with highmemNicolas Pitre1-1/+8
In xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() there is that sequence: kaddr = kmap_atomic(*ppage, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA); [...] flush_dcache_page(*ppage); kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA); Mixing flush_dcache_page() and kmap_atomic() is a bit odd, especially since kunmap_atomic() must deal with cache issues already. OTOH the non-highmem case must use flush_dcache_page() as kunmap_atomic() becomes a no op with no cache maintenance. Problem is that with highmem the implementation of kmap_atomic() doesn't set page->virtual, and page_address(page) returns 0 in that case. Here flush_dcache_page() calls __flush_dcache_page() which calls __cpuc_flush_dcache_page(page_address(page)) resulting in a kernel oops. None of the kmap_atomic() implementations uses set_page_address(). Hence we can assume page_address() is always expected to return 0 in that case. Let's conditionally call __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() only when the page address is non zero, and perform that test only when highmem is configured.

2009-08-15ARM: Fix broken highmem supportRussell King2-46/+81
Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased vmalloc area. However, none of this has any effect on the memory layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped. Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available virtual mapping space. The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size (see commit 60296c71f6c5063e3c1f1d2619ca0b60940162e7 for details on this). We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory, while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem. Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory are not supported. This is not a huge limitation since systems relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory with large holes. [ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9ecaf3 and be available in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ] Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com>

This patch adds a comment to the proc-v7.S file for the setting of the PRRR and NMRR registers. It also sets the PRRR[13:12] bits to 0 (corresponding to the reserved TEX[0]CB encoding 110) to be consistent with the documentation. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-05-30ARMv7: Enable the SWP instructionCatalin Marinas1-4/+4
The SWP instruction has been deprecated starting with the ARMv6 architecture. On ARMv7 processors with the multiprocessor extensions (like Cortex-A9), this instruction is disabled by default but it can be enabled by setting bit 10 in the System Control register. Note that setting this bit is safe even if the ARMv7 processor has the SWP instruction enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-05-30ARMv7: Mark the PTWs inner WBWA on SMP and WB on UPTony Thompson1-3/+9
There are additional bits to set for the ARMv7 SMP extensions in the TTBR registers. The IRGN bits order is counter-intuitive but it allows software built for the ARMv7 base architecture to run on an implementation with the MP extensions.
