Russell King 67ece14431 ARM: pgtable: consolidate set_pte_ext(TOP_PTE,...) + tlb flush
A number of places establish a PTE in our top page table and
immediately flush the TLB.  Rather than having this at every callsite,
provide an inline function for this purpose.

This changes some global tlb flushes to be local; each time we setup
one of these mappings, we always do it with preemption disabled which
would prevent us migrating to another CPU.

Nicolas Pitre 39af22a792 ARM: get rid of kmap_high_l1_vipt()
Since commit 3e4d3af501 "mm: stack based kmap_atomic()", it is no longer
necessary to carry an ad hoc version of kmap_atomic() added in commit
7e5a69e83b "ARM: 6007/1: fix highmem with VIPT cache and DMA" to cope
with reentrancy.

In fact, it is now actively wrong to rely on fixed kmap type indices

Will Deacon c4e259c859 ARM: 6386/1: flush_ptrace_access: invalidate correct I-cache alias
copy_to_user_page can be used by access_process_vm to write to an
executable page of a process using a mapping acquired by kmap.
For systems with I-cache aliasing, flushing the I-cache using the
Kernel mapping may leave stale data in the I-cache if the user
mapping is of a different colour.

This patch introduces a flush_icache_alias function to flush.c,
which calls flush_icache_range with a mapping of the specified
colour. flush_ptrace_access is then modified to call this new
function instead of coherent_kern_range in the case of an aliasing
I-cache and a non-aliasing D-cache.

Catalin Marinas 85848dd7ab ARM: 6381/1: Use lazy cache flushing on ARMv7 SMP systems
ARMv7 processors like Cortex-A9 broadcast the cache maintenance
operations in hardware. This patch allows the
flush_dcache_page/update_mmu_cache pair to work in lazy flushing mode
similar to the UP case.

Note that cache flushing on SMP systems now takes place via the
set_pte_at() call (__sync_icache_dcache) and there is no race with other
CPUs executing code from the new PTE before the cache flushing took
place.

Catalin Marinas 6012191aa9 ARM: 6380/1: Introduce __sync_icache_dcache() for VIPT caches
On SMP systems, there is a small chance of a PTE becoming visible to a
different CPU before the current cache maintenance operations in
update_mmu_cache(). To avoid this, cache maintenance must be handled in
set_pte_at() (similar to IA-64 and PowerPC).

This patch provides a unified VIPT cache handling mechanism and
implements the __sync_icache_dcache() function for ARMv6 onwards
architectures. It is called from set_pte_at() and replaces the
update_mmu_cache(). The latter is still used on VIVT hardware where a
vm_area_struct is required.

There are places in Linux where writes to newly allocated page cache
pages happen without a subsequent call to flush_dcache_page() (several
PIO drivers including USB HCD). This patch changes the meaning of
PG_arch_1 to be PG_dcache_clean and always flush the D-cache for a newly

The patch also sets the PG_arch_1 bit in the DMA cache maintenance
function to avoid additional cache flushing in update_mmu_cache().

Nicolas Pitre 7e5a69e83b ARM: 6007/1: fix highmem with VIPT cache and DMA
The VIVT cache of a highmem page is always flushed before the page
is unmapped.  This cache flush is explicit through flush_cache_kmaps()
in flush_all_zero_pkmaps(), or through __cpuc_flush_dcache_area() in
kunmap_atomic().  There is also an implicit flush of those highmem pages
that were part of a process that just terminated making those pages free
as the whole VIVT cache has to be flushed on every task switch. Hence
unmapped highmem pages need no cache maintenance in that case.

However unmapped pages may still be cached with a VIPT cache because the
cache is tagged with physical addresses.  There is no need for a whole
cache flush during task switching for that reason, and despite the
explicit cache flushes in flush_all_zero_pkmaps() and kunmap_atomic(),
some highmem pages that were mapped in user space end up still cached
even when they become unmapped.

So, we do have to perform cache maintenance on those unmapped highmem
pages in the context of DMA when using a VIPT cache.  Unfortunately,
it is not possible to perform that cache maintenance using physical
addresses as all the L1 cache maintenance coprocessor functions accept
virtual addresses only.  Therefore we have no choice but to set up a
temporary virtual mapping for that purpose.

And of course the explicit cache flushing when unmapping a highmem page
on a system with a VIPT cache now can go, which should increase
performance.

While at it, because the code in __flush_dcache_page() has to be modified
anyway, let's also make sure the mapped highmem pages are pinned with
kmap_high_get() for the duration of the cache maintenance operation.
Because kunmap() does unmap highmem pages lazily, it was reported by
Gary King <GKing@nvidia.com> that those pages ended up being unmapped
during cache maintenance on SMP causing segmentation faults.

Russell King 6060e8df51 ARM: I-cache: flush executable mappings in flush_cache_range()
Dirk Behme reported instability on ARM11 SMP (VIPT non-aliasing cache)
caused by the dynamic linker changing protection on text pages to write
GOT entries.  The problem is due to an interaction between the write
faulting code providing new anonymous pages which are incoherent with
the I-cache due to write buffering, and the I-cache not having been
invalidated.

a4db94d plugs the hole with the data cache coherency.  This patch
provides the other half of the fix by flushing the I-cache in
flush_cache_range() for VM_EXEC VMAs (which is what we have when the
region is being made executable again.)  This ensures that the I-cache
will be up to date with the newly COW'd pages.

Note: if users are writing instructions, then they still need to use
the ARM sys_cacheflush API to ensure that the caches are correctly
synchronized.

Russell King ea201dbb78 ARM: I-cache: avoid flushing in flush_cache_mm()
flush_cache_mm() is called in two cases:
1. when a process exits, just before the page tables are torn down.
   We can allow the stale lines to evict themselves over time without
   causing any harm.

2. when a process forks, and we've allocated a new ASID.
   The instruction cache issues are dealt with as pages are brought
   into the new process address space.  Flushing the I-cache here is
   therefore unnecessary.

However, we must keep the VIPT aliasing D-cache flush to ensure that
any dirty cache lines are not written back after the pages have been
reallocated for some other use - which would result in corruption.

Nicolas Pitre 13f96d8f4c ARM: 5687/1: fix an oops with highmem
In xdr_partial_copy_from_skb() there is that sequence:

		kaddr = kmap_atomic(*ppage, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA);
		[...]
		flush_dcache_page(*ppage);
		kunmap_atomic(kaddr, KM_SKB_SUNRPC_DATA);

Mixing flush_dcache_page() and kmap_atomic() is a bit odd,
especially since kunmap_atomic() must deal with cache issues
already.  OTOH the non-highmem case must use flush_dcache_page()
as kunmap_atomic() becomes a no op with no cache maintenance.

Problem is that with highmem the implementation of kmap_atomic()
doesn't set page->virtual, and page_address(page) returns 0 in
that case. Here flush_dcache_page() calls __flush_dcache_page()
which calls __cpuc_flush_dcache_page(page_address(page)) resulting
in a kernel oops.

None of the kmap_atomic() implementations uses set_page_address().
Hence we can assume page_address() is always expected to return 0 in
that case. Let's conditionally call __cpuc_flush_dcache_page() only
when the page address is non zero, and perform that test only when
highmem is configured.

Nicolas Pitre d73cd42893 [ARM] kmap support
The kmap virtual area borrows a 2MB range at the top of the 16MB area
below PAGE_OFFSET currently reserved for kernel modules and/or the
XIP kernel.  This 2MB corresponds to the range covered by 2 consecutive
second-level page tables, or a single pmd entry as seen by the Linux
page table abstraction.  Because XIP kernels are unlikely to be seen
on systems needing highmem support, there shouldn't be any shortage of
VM space for modules (14 MB for modules is still way more than twice the
typical usage).

Because the virtual mapping of highmem pages can go away at any moment
after kunmap() is called on them, we need to bypass the delayed cache
flushing provided by flush_dcache_page() in that case.

The atomic kmap versions are based on fixmaps, and
__cpuc_flush_dcache_page() is used directly in that case.

George G. Davis a188ad2bc7 [ARM] 3762/1: Fix ptrace cache coherency bug for ARM1136 VIPT nonaliasing Harvard caches
Patch from George G. Davis

Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".

NOTES:

1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
   coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page".  However
   flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
   for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
   non-aliasing case.  So memory is consistent between kernel and user
   space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
   range.  IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
   memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
   the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
   invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable.  We don't
   need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
   case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
   process above if we access "page" again.  The flush_ptrace_access()
   function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
   cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

Catalin Marinas 141fa40cff [ARM] 3356/1: Workaround for the ARM1136 I-cache invalidation problem
Patch from Catalin Marinas

ARM1136 erratum 371025 (category 2) specifies that, under rare
conditions, an invalidate I-cache by MVA (line or range) operation can
fail to invalidate a cache line. The recommended workaround is to
either invalidate the entire I-cache or invalidate the range by
set/way rather than MVA.

Note that for a 16K cache size, invalidating a 4K page by set/way is
equivalent to invalidating the entire I-cache.

Catalin Marinas 481467d6fa [ARM] 2939/1: Fix compilation error in arch/arm/mm/flush.c
Patch from Catalin Marinas

When CONFIG_CPU_CACHE_VIPT is defined, the flush_pfn_alias() function is
implicitely declared and it later conflicts with its actual definition.
This patch moves the function definition to the beginning of the file.

Russell King 8830f04a09 [PATCH] ARM: Fix delayed dcache flush for ARMv6 non-aliasing caches
flush_dcache_page() did nothing for these caches, but since they
suffer from I/D cache coherency issues, we need to ensure that data
is written back to RAM.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
