* arm64: switch to relative exception tablesArd Biesheuvel2016-02-241-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values. Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting of the exception table that occurs at build time. This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as shorthands to emit exception table entries.

* arm64: dcache: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for little-endian CPUsWill Deacon2013-12-191-0/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS uses the word-at-a-time API for optimised string comparisons in the vfs layer. This patch implements support for load_unaligned_zeropad in much the same way as has been done for ARM, although big-endian systems are also supported.

* arm64: use generic strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functionsWill Deacon2013-12-191-0/+54
This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for arm64 using the same algorithm as ARM. We use the fls64 macro, which expands to a clz instruction via a compiler builtin. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.
