* ARM: 7627/1: Predicate preempt logic on PREEMP_COUNT not PREEMPT aloneStephen Boyd2013-01-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patrik Kluba reports that the preempt count becomes invalid due to the preempt_enable() call being unbalanced with a preempt_disable() call in the vfp assembly routines. This happens because preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() update preempt counts under PREEMPT_COUNT=y but the vfp assembly routines do so under PREEMPT=y. In a configuration where PREEMPT=n and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, PREEMPT_COUNT=y and so the preempt_enable() call in VFP_bounce() keeps subtracting from the preempt count until it goes negative. Fix this by always using PREEMPT_COUNT to decided when to update preempt counts in the ARM assembly code.

* ARM: Fix undefined instruction exception handlingRussell King2012-07-311-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling. This is because of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is supposed to point to. The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction. This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of Thumb2 though. Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy. We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit instruction.

* Thumb-2: Add some .align statements to the .S filesCatalin Marinas2009-07-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Since the Thumb-2 instructions can be 16-bit wide, data in the .text sections may not be aligned to a 32-bit word and this leads to unaligned exceptions. This patch does not affect the ARM code generation. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
* [ARM] 5440/1: Fix VFP state corruption due to preemption during VFP exceptionsGeorge G. Davis2009-04-011-4/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've observed that ARM VFP state can be corrupted during VFP exception handling when PREEMPT is enabled. The exact conditions are difficult to reproduce but appear to occur during VFP exception handling when a task causes a VFP exception which is handled via VFP_bounce and is then preempted by yet another task which in turn causes yet another VFP exception. Since the VFP_bounce code is not preempt safe, VFP state then becomes corrupt. In order to prevent preemption from occuring while handling a VFP exception, this patch disables preemption while handling VFP exceptions. Signed-off-by: George G.

* [ARM] VFP: fix section mismatch errorRussell King2007-06-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a real section mismatch issue; the test code is thrown away after initialisation, but if we do not detect the VFP hardware, it is left hooked into the exception handler. Any VFP instructions which are subsequently executed risk calling the discarded exception handler. Introduce a new "null" handler which returns to the "unrecognised fault" return address.

* [ARM] 4111/1: Allow VFP to work with thread migration on SMPCatalin Marinas2007-01-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The current lazy saving of the VFP registers is no longer possible with thread migration on SMP. This patch implements a per-CPU vfp-state pointer and the saving of the VFP registers at every context switch. The registers restoring is still performed in a lazy way.

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!
