Implement L2C-310 erratum 727915 by overriding the flush_all method
in the outer_cache operations structure. This allows us to sensibly
contain the erratum code in one place without affecting other
locations or implementations.
Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
Add L2C-210 specific cache operation handlers. These are tailored to
the requirements of the L2C-210 cache controller, which doesn't
require any workarounds. We avoid using the way operations during
normal operation, which means we can avoid locking: the only time
we use the way operations are during initialisation, and when
disabling the cache.

Rename the pl310 save/resume functions to have a l2c310 prefix - this

virtual address, and also realise that many of the resume function

enable function instead of duplicating that code.

Providing an enable method gives L2 cache controllers a chance to do

Back in the mists of time, someone decided that it would be a good idea
to group like functions together - so all the save functions in one
place, all the resume functions in another, all the OF parsing functions
some place else.
This makes it difficult to get an overview on what a particular
implementation is doing - grouping an implementations specific functions
together makes more sense, because you can see what it's doing without
the clutter of other implementations.
Organise it according to implementation.

There's no reason this functionality should be specific to DT, so move

Rather than having a boolean and other tricks to disable some bits of
l2x0_init(), split this function into two parts: a common part shared
between OF and non-OF, and the non-OF part.
The common part can take a block of function pointers, and the cache
ID (to cope with Aurora's DT specified ID.) Eliminate the redundant
setting of l2x0_base in the OF case, moving it to the non-OF init
function.
This allows us to localise the OF-specific initialisation handling
from the non-OF handling.

cache_wait_way() is actually used to wait for a particular mask to
report clear; it's not really got much to do with cache ways at all.
Indeed, it gets used to wait for the C bit to clear on older caches.

its purpose: l2c_wait_mask().

Provide a generic helper function for way based operations. These are

Spear calls outer_flush_all() from it's SMP bringup function. This

In arch/arm/kvm/mmu.c:unmap_range(), we end up doing an extra put_page()
on the stage2 pgd which leads to the BUG in put_page_testzero(). This
happens because a pud_huge() test in unmap_range() returns true when it

The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code
in syscall.S.
This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs)
that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In
particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance
significantly.
The change does the following:
1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and
2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on
PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is
accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0.
The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all
existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS
operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a
processor could reorder the operations.
I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to
significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is
longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation.

should resolve syslog from growing way too fast and thus prevents
possible system service attacks.

Checkin:
b3b42ac2cb x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels
disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
leak. However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.
A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge
window, but as a temporary fix, create a sysctl to allow the
administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.
It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do
echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16
as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.
The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much
does that ;)
