2011-08-23ARM: 7059/1: LPAE: Use PMD_(SHIFT|SIZE|MASK) instead of PGDIR_*Catalin Marinas
PGDIR_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT for the classic 2-level page table format have the same value (21). This patch converts the PGDIR_* uses in the kernel to the PMD_* equivalent so that LPAE builds can reuse the same code.

2011-08-04ARM: Fix build error for SMP=n buildsRussell King
Unfortunately, the module fixups cause the kernel to fail to build when SMP is not enabled. Fix this by removing the reference to fixup_smp on non-SMP fixup kernels, but ensuring that if we do have the SMP fixup section, we refuse to load the module.

2011-06-17ARM: 6963/1: Thumb-2: Relax relocation requirements for non-function symbolsDave Martin
The "Thumb bit" of a symbol is only really meaningful for function symbols (STT_FUNC). However, sometimes a branch is relocated against a non-function symbol; for example, PC-relative branches to anonymous assembler local symbols are typically fixed up against the start-of-section symbol, which is not a function symbol. Some inline assembler generates references of this type, such as fixup code generated by macros in <asm/uaccess.h>. The existing relocation code for R_ARM_THM_CALL/R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 interprets this case as an error, because the target symbol appears to be an ARM symbol; but this is really not the case, since the target symbol is just a base in these cases. The addend defines the precise offset to the target location, but since the addend is encoded in a non-interworking Thumb branch instruction, there is no explicit Thumb bit in the addend. Because these instructions never interwork, the implied Thumb bit in the addend is 1, and the destination is Thumb by definition. This patch removes the extraneous Thumb bit check for non-function symbols, enabling modules containing the affected relocation types to be loaded. No modification to the actual relocation code is required, since this code does not take bit[0] of the location->destination offset into account in any case. Function symbols are always checked for interworking conflicts, as before.

2011-02-23ARM: improve module relocation fixup diagnosticsRussell King
Current diagnostics are rather poor when things go wrong: ipv6: relocation out of range, section 2 reloc 0 sym 'snmp_mib_free' Let's include a little more information about the problem: ipv6: section 2 reloc 0 sym 'snmp_mib_free': relocation 28 out of range (0xbf0000a4 -> 0xc11b4858) so that we show exactly what the problem is - not only what type of relocation but also the offending address range too.

2011-02-17ARM: P2V: introduce phys_to_virt/virt_to_phys runtime patchingRussell King
This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version, which was then rewritten into this. Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us to achieve this with minimal loss of performance. As many translations are of the form: physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub' instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this constant into the above add/sub instructions. Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use. At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a constant which will not fit in our math instruction. Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent incompatible modules being loaded.

2011-01-13mm: unify module_alloc code for vmallocDavid Rientjes
Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range(). __vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of [VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior. Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove the duplication of code.

Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak. This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-07-24Thumb-2: Add support for loadable modulesCatalin Marinas
Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24 (+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to (MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

2009-05-07[ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation typesPaul Gortmaker
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is required. The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16 bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the top half of a register. The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value), so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value. The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

2009-03-21[ARM] 5428/1: Module relocation update for R_ARM_V4BXDaniel Silverstone
It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils (required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations are emitted for function epilogues. This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40" error message. The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the binutils bfd library.

2008-11-06[ARM] fix naming of MODULE_START / MODULE_ENDRussell King
As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs to know where modules are located in the virtual address space. On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END. Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END. Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the vmalloc space. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2008-07-24PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.
