* avr32: nmi_enter() without nmi_exit()Manfred Spraul2008-09-191-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | While updating the rcu code, I noticed that do_nmi() for AVR32 is odd: There is an nmi_enter() call without an nmi_exit(). This can't be correct, it breaks rcu (at least the preempt version) and lockdep.

* avr32: fix sys_sync_file_range() call conventionHans-Christian Egtvedt2008-09-192-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack. This patch adds a stub for sync_file_range syscall on AVR32 architecture.

* avr32: Fix lockup after Java stack underflow in user modeHaavard Skinnemoen2008-09-012-2/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using the Java Extension Module hardware, a Java stack underflow or overflow trap may cause the system to enter an infinite exception loop. Although there's no kernel support for the Java hardware yet, we need to be able to recover from this situation and keep the system running. This patch adds code to detect and fixup this situation in the critical exception handler and terminate the faulting process. We may have to rethink how to handle this more gracefully when the necessary kernel support for hardware-accelerated Java is added.

The first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick disabled. The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric. Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure that we can not run into such a situation ever again. cpu_idle() { preempt_disable(); while(1) { tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we are in the idle loop while (!need_resched()) halt(); tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode preempt_enable_no_resched(); schedule(); preempt_disable(); } } In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

* | | avr32: Cover the kernel page tables in the user PGDsHaavard Skinnemoen2008-07-021-10/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expand the per-process PGDs so that they cover the kernel virtual memory area as well. This simplifies the TLB miss handler fastpath since it doesn't have to check for kernel addresses anymore. If a TLB miss happens on a kernel address and a second-level page table can't be found, we check swapper_pg_dir and copy the PGD entry into the user PGD if it can be found there.

* | | avr32: Store virtual addresses in the PGDHaavard Skinnemoen2008-07-022-25/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the PGD, store virtual addresses and use NULL to indicate a not present second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad PMD. This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL entry, which is slightly cheaper than either. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <haavard.skinnemoen@atmel.com>

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A signal handler should be able to change the signal stack used for the next signal by altering the ucontext_t passed as a parameter to the handler. This does not currently work on avr32 since it doesn't update the in-kernel signal context from the ucontext_t upon signal handler return. Fix it by adding a call to do_sigaltstack() from sys_rt_sigreturn(), bringing it in line with most other architectures.

* unified (weak) sys_pipe implementationUlrich Drepper2008-05-031-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed.

* atmel_lcdfb: don't initialize a pre-allocated framebufferHaavard Skinnemoen2008-04-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user specified a fixed framebuffer address on the command line, it may have been initialized already with a splash image or something, so we shouldn't clear it. Therefore, we should only initialize the framebuffer if we allocated it ourselves. This patch also updates the AVR32 setup code to clear the framebuffer if it allocated it itself, i.e. the user didn't provide a fixed address or the reservation failed. I've updated the at91 platform code as well so that it initializes the framebuffer if it is located in SRAM, but I haven't tested that it actually works.

Rename the first one and its resources appropriately. More cleanups to the cycle counter clocksource code - Disable all the weak symbol magic; remove the AVR32-only TCB-based clocksource code (source and header). - Mark the __init code properly. - Don't forget to report IRQF_TIMER. - Make the system work properly with this clocksource, by preventing use of the CPU "idle" sleep state in the idle loop when it's used. Package the avr32 count/compare timekeeping support as a oneshot clockevent device, so it supports NO_HZ and high res timers.

Later patches can make this usable again (by disabling use of the idle state and providing a proper clocksource without the weak binding hacks) and move towards TCB-based clockevent support (including high resolution timers) that's shared between AT91 and AVR32.

Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be unset. Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable() won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged. This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at arch/avr32/kernel/ocd.c:73 PC is at ocd_disable+0x34/0x60 LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20 as reported by David Brownell.

* all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.hSam Ravnborg2008-01-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in the generic vmlinux.lds.h. This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy us much good. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| * [AVR32] NMI debuggingHaavard Skinnemoen2008-01-254-3/+112
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the NMI handler to use the die notifier chain to signal anyone who cares. Add a simple "nmi debugger" which hooks into this chain and that may dump registers, task state, etc. when it happens. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>

| * [AVR32] Provide more CPU information in /proc/cpuinfo and dmesgHaavard Skinnemoen2008-01-251-26/+68
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the following fields to /proc/cpuinfo: * chip type and revision (from the JTAG chip id) * cpu MHz (from clk_get_rate()) * features (from the CONFIG0 register) Also rename "cpu family" to "cpu arch" and "cpu type" to "cpu core" to remove some ambiguity. Show chip type and revision at bootup, and clarify that the other kinds of IDs that we're already printing are for the cpu core and architecture. Rename "AP7000" to "AP7" since that's the name of the core. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
| * [AVR32] Enable debugging only when neededHaavard Skinnemoen2008-01-255-9/+171
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself) and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next reboot. The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the performance forever.
