Russell King 6ebbf2ce43 ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

Marc Zyngier 292b293cee ARM: gic: consolidate PPI handling
PPI handling is a bit of an odd beast. It uses its own low level
handling code and is hardwired to the local timers (hence lacking
a registration interface).

Instead, switch the low handling to the normal SPI handling code.
PPIs are handled by the handle_percpu_devid_irq flow.

This also allows the removal of some duplicated code.

Russell King d9600c99c5 ARM: entry: re-allocate registers in irq entry assembly macros
This avoids the irq entry assembly corrupting r5, thereby allowing it
to be preserved through to the svc exit code.

Magnus Damm 2bc58a6fd7 ARM: 6959/1: SMP build fix for entry-macro-multi.S
The assembly code in entry-macro-multi.S does not build without
the include asm/assembler.h in the case of CONFIG_SMP=y.

Fixes the rather theoretical SMP build of mach-shmobile/entry-intc.c:

arch/arm/include/asm/entry-macro-multi.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/include/asm/entry-macro-multi.S:20: Error: bad instruction `alt_smp(test_for_ipi r0,r6,r5,lr)'

Magnus Damm cd544ce754 ARM: 6538/1: Subarch IRQ handler macros V3
Per subarch interrupt handler macros V3.

This patch breaks out code from the irq_handler macro
into arch_irq_handler and arch_irq_handler_default.

The macros are put in the header file "entry-macro-multi.S"

The arch_irq_handler_default macro is designed to be
used by irq_handler in entry-armv.S while arch_irq_handler
is suitable for per-subarch use.
