2013-07-01ARM: decompressor: Flush tlb before swiching domain 0 to client modeArve Hjønnevåg
If the bootloader used a page table that is incompatible with domain 0 in client mode, and boots with the mmu on, then swithing domain 0 to client mode causes a fault if we don't flush the tlb after updating the page table pointer. v2: Add ISB before loading dacr.

The previous mask values for the legacy ARM CPU IDs were conflicting with the CPU ID assignments for late-generation CPUs (like the Qualcomm MSM/QSD or Broadcom Brahma-15 processors). This change corrects the legacy ARM CPU ID value so that the jump table can fall-through to the appropriate cache maintenance / MMU functions.

2013-06-05ARM: 7743/1: compressed/head.S: work around new binutils warningArnd Bergmann
In August 2012, Matthew Gretton-Dann checked a change into binutils labelled "Error on obsolete & warn on deprecated registers", apparently as part of ARMv8 support. Apparently, this was supposed to emit the message "Warning: This coprocessor register access is deprecated in ARMv8" when using certain mcr/mrc instructions and building for ARMv8. Unfortunately, the message that is actually emitted appears to be '(null)', which is less helpful in comparison. Even more unfortunately, this is biting us on every single kernel build with a new gas, because arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S and some other files in that directory are built with -march=all since kernel commit 80cec14a8 "[ARM] Add -march=all to assembly file build in arch/arm/boot/compressed" back in v2.6.28. This patch reverts Russell's nice solution and instead marks the head.S file to be built for armv7-a, which fortunately lets us build all instructions in that file without warnings even on the broken binutils. Without this patch, building anything results in: arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:565: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:676: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:698: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:722: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:726: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:957: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:996: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:997: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1027: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1035: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1046: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1060: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1092: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1094: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1095: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1102: Warning: (null) arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S:1134: Warning: (null) Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Matthew Gretton-Dann <matthew.gretton-dann@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2012-11-23ARM: 7583/1: decompressor: Enable unaligned memory access for v6 and aboveDave Martin
Modern GCC can generate code which makes use of the CPU's native unaligned memory access capabilities. This is useful for the C decompressor implementations used for unpacking compressed kernels. This patch disables alignment faults and enables the v6 unaligned access model on CPUs which support these features (i.e., v6 and later), allowing full unaligned access support for C code in the decompressor. The decompressor C code must not be built to assume that unaligned access works if support for v5 or older platforms is included in the kernel. For correct code generation, C decompressor code must always use the get_unaligned and put_unaligned accessors when dealing with unaligned pointers, regardless of this patch.

2012-09-19ARM: zImage/virt: hyp mode entry support for the zImage loaderDave Martin
The zImage loader needs to turn on the MMU in order to take advantage of caching while decompressing the zImage. Running this in hyp mode would require the LPAE pagetable format to be supported; to avoid this complexity, this patch switches out of hyp mode, and returns back to hyp mode just before booting the kernel. This implementation assumes that the Hyp mode view of memory and the PL1 view of memory are coherent, providing that the MMU and caches are off in both, as required by the boot protocol. The zImage decompression code must drain the write buffer on completion anyway, and entry into Hyp mode should flush any prefetch buffer, avoiding hazards associated with local write buffers and the pipeline.

When enabling the MMU for ARMv7 CPUs, the decompressor does not touch the ttbcr register, assuming that it will be zeroed (N == 0, EAE == 0). Given that only EAE is defined as 0 for non-secure copies of the register (and a bootloader such as kexec may leave it set to 1 anyway), we should ensure that we reset the register ourselves before turning on the MMU.

We setup identity MMU mappings across the entire 4GB of space, which are permissionless because the domain is set to manager. This unfortunately allows ARMv6 and later CPUs to speculatively prefetch from the entire address space, which can cause undesirable side effects if those regions contain devices.

2011-09-14ARM: zImage: allow supplementing appended DTB with traditional ATAG dataNicolas Pitre
Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a device tree capable one, yet they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address, the kernel cmdline string, etc. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such bootloaders, it is necessary to convert those ATAGs into FDT properties and fold them into the DTB appended to zImage. Currently the following ATAGs are converted: ATAG_CMDLINE ATAG_MEM ATAG_INITRD2 If the corresponding information already exists in the appended DTB, it is replaced, otherwise the required node is created to hold it. The code looks for ATAGs at the location pointed by the value of r2 upon entry into the zImage code. If no ATAGs are found there, an attempt at finding ATAGs at the typical 0x100 offset from start of RAM is made. Otherwise the DTB is left unchanged.

2011-07-19ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM stateDave Martin
Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2 kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction set state. This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered in ARM. Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy. A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.

To be able to relocate the .bss section at run time independently from the rest of the code, we must make sure that no GOTOFF relocations are used with .bss symbols. This usually means that no global variables can be marked static unless they're also const.

The inline assembly differences for v6 vs. v7 are purely optimizations. On a v7 processor, an mrc with the pc sets the condition codes to the 28-31 bits of the register being read. It just so happens that the TX/RX full bits the DCC support code is testing for are high enough in the register to be put into the condition codes. On a v6 processor, this "feature" isn't implemented and thus we have to do the usual read, mask, test operations to check for TX/RX full.

2010-07-12ARM: Auto calculate ZRELADDR and provide option for exceptionsEric Miao
As long as the zImage is placed within the 128MB range from the start of memory, ZRELADDR (Address where the decompressed kernel will be placed, usually == PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET) can be determined at run-time by masking PC with 0xf80000000. Running through all the Makefile.boot, all those zreladdr-y addresses == 0x[0-f][08]00_0000 + TEXT_OFFSET can be determined at run-time. Option CONFIG_AUTO_ZRELADDR and CONFIG_ZRELADDR are introduced, CONFIG_ZRELADDR _must_ be explicitly specified if: - ((zreladdr-y - TEXT_OFFSET) & ~0xf8000000) != 0, which means masking PC with 0xf8000000 will result in an incorrect address. Currently this is only a problem on u300. - or the assumption of the zImage being loaded by the bootloader within the first 128MB of RAM is incorrect - or when ZBOOT_ROM is used, where the above assumption is usually wrong.

2010-07-07ARM: Remove unused PARAMS_PHYS from arch/arm/boot/compressedEric Miao
The only reference in arch/arm/boot/compressed to PARAMS_PHYS is params() in head.S, which can be directly converted to the exact address as specified by arch/arm/mach-rpc/Makefile.boot.

2010-06-17ARM: zImage: fix comments for cache_on, cache_off and cache_clean_flushUwe Kleine-König
This adds missing registers to the list of corrupted registers and removes a wrong comment about r9 on entry While at it the formatting of the comment to cache_off is changed to resemble the other two.

2010-06-17ARM: zImage: __armv3_mpu_cache_flush: respect should-be-zero specificationUwe Kleine-König
Probably the register content for cache operations is "don't care" in practice, but as r1 is explicitly zeroed, use that one. Acked-by: Eric Miao <eric.miao@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>
