* Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"Russell King2016-11-231-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121. Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions. While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above change: - We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms become more fragile: * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in the selected configuration makes use of the symbol. * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten, with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch the file. - We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes, they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their exports. As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction: (original commit) 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-) (fix for ksyms trimming) 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (two fixes for modversions) 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted. As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach, revert the change. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

* ARM: uaccess: provide uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore()Russell King2015-08-251-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Provide uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() to permit control of userspace visibility to the kernel, and hook these into the appropriate places in the kernel where we need to access userspace. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: 8322/1: keep .text and .fixup regions closer togetherArd Biesheuvel2015-03-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This moves all fixup snippets to the .text.fixup section, which is a special section that gets emitted along with the .text section for each input object file, i.e., the snippets are kept much closer to the code they refer to, which helps prevent linker failure on large kernels.

* ARM: 6110/1: Fix Thumb-2 kernel builds when UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY is enabledCatalin Marinas2010-05-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The patch adds the ENDPROC declarations for the __copy_to_user_std and __clear_user_std functions. Without these, the compiler generates BXL to ARM when compiling the kernel in Thumb-2 mode.

* ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.cRussell King2010-04-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077' This is caused because: .section .data .section .text .section .text .previous does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections is not known. Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* Thumb-2: Implement the unified arch/arm/lib functionsCatalin Marinas2009-07-241-8/+7

* [ARM] allow for alternative __copy_to_user/__clear_user implementationsNicolas Pitre2009-05-291-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std. Same thing for __clear_user. Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

* [ARM] 5232/1: Do not post-index STRT instruction in clear_user.SCatalin Marinas2008-09-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The last strnebt instruction has a post-index of 1 but the address register is set to 0 in the next instruction, so no need for post-indexing. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] 5227/1: Add the ENDPROC declarations to the .S filesCatalin Marinas2008-09-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | This declaration specifies the "function" type and size for various assembly functions, mainly needed for generating the correct branch instructions in Thumb-2. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] Remove the __arch_* layer from uaccess.hRussell King2006-06-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Back in the days when we had armo (26-bit) and armv (32-bit) combined, we had an additional layer to the uaccess macros to ensure correct typing. Since we no longer have 26-bit in this tree, we no longer need this layer, so eliminate it. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
