| * xtensa: add device trees supportMax Filippov2012-12-187-25/+164
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Device trees allow specification of hardware topology and device parameters at runtime instead of hard-coding them in platform setup code. This allows running single binary kernel on a range of compatible boards. New boot parameters tag BP_TAG_FDT is allocated and a pointer to flat device tree is passed in it. Note that current interrupt mapping scheme uses single cell for interrupt identification. That means that IRQ numbers used in DTS must be CPU internal IRQ numbers, not external. It is possible to extend interrupt identification to two cells, and use second cell to tell external IRQ numbers form internal. That would allow to use single DTS on multiple boards with different mapping of external IRQ numbers. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a brief sanity test of S32C1I functionality. This instruction is needed by the kernel and userland as part of the base ABI (including GCC atomic builtins, certain threading packages, future atomic support in the C++ standard, etc). However, correct operation of this instruction requires some cooperation by hardware external to the processor (such as bus bridge, bus fabric, or memory controller). Minimally exercising this mechanism and reporting explicit status early in the boot process is helpful to chip vendors using the Linux kernel as a benchmark of correctness of hardware. As it turns out, S32C1I is not exercised by the kernel and by uClibc based userland as of early June 2008. This is expected to change soon as both incorporate more recent open source developments.

Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate). Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.

Since the init_module syscall hands the kernel a module as a memory blob, no reasoning about the origin of the blob can be made. Earlier proposals for appending signatures to kernel modules would not be useful in Chrome OS, since it would involve adding an additional set of keys to our kernel and builds for no good reason: we already trust the contents of our root filesystem. We don't need to verify those kernel modules a second time. Having to do signature checking on module loading would slow us down and be redundant. All we need to know is where a module is coming from so we can say yes/no to loading it. If a file descriptor is used as the source of a kernel module, many more things can be reasoned about. In Chrome OS's case, we could enforce that the module lives on the filesystem we expect it to live on. In the case of IMA (or other LSMs), it would be possible, for example, to examine extended attributes that may contain signatures over the contents of the module. This introduces a new syscall (on x86), similar to init_module, that has only two arguments. The first argument is used as a file descriptor to the module and the second argument is a pointer to the NULL terminated string of module arguments.

It enables architectures to opt in to using GCC's __builtin_bswapXX() intrinsics for byteswapping, and if we merge this now then the architecture maintainers can enable it for their arch during the next cycle without dependency issues. It's worth making it a par-arch opt-in, because although in *theory* the compiler should never do worse than hand-coded assembler (and of course it also ought to do a lot better on platforms like Atom and PowerPC which have load-and-swap or store-and-swap instructions), that isn't always the case. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46453 for example." * tag 'byteswap-for-linus-20121219' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/byteswap: byteorder: allow arch to opt to use GCC intrinsics for byteswapping

A __builtin_bswap16() came a little later (4.6 for PowerPC, 48 for other platforms). By using these instead of the inline assembler that most architectures have in their __arch_swabXX() macros, we let the compiler see what's actually happening. The resulting code should be at least as good, and much *better* in the cases where it can be combined with a nearby load or store, using a load-and-byteswap or store-and-byteswap instruction (e.g. lwbrx/stwbrx on PowerPC, movbe on Atom). When GCC is sufficiently recent *and* the architecture opts in to using the intrinsics by setting CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP, they will be used in preference to the __arch_swabXX() macros. An architecture which does not set ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will continue to use its own hand-crafted macros. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Acked-by: H.
