ARM: 7990/1: asm: rename logical shift macros push pull into lspush lspull

Renames logical shift macros, 'push' and 'pull', defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h, into 'lspush' and 'lspull'.
That eliminates name conflict between 'push' logical shift macro
and 'push' instruction mnemonic. That allows assembler.h to be
included in .S files that use 'push' instruction.

ARM: barrier: allow options to be passed to memory barrier instructions

On ARMv7, the memory barrier instructions take an optional `option'
field which can be used to constrain the effects of a memory barrier
based on shareability and access type.

This patch allows the caller to pass these options if required, and
updates the smp_*() barriers to request inner-shareable barriers,
affecting only stores for the _wmb variant. wmb() is also changed to
use the -st version of dsb.

ARM: 7599/1: head: Remove boot-time HYP mode check for v5 and below

The kernel can only be entered on HYP mode on CPUs which actually
support it, i.e. >= ARMv7. pre-v6 platform support cannot coexist
in the same kernel as support for v7 and higher, so there is no
advantage in having the HYP mode check on pre-v6 hardware.

At least one pre-v6 board is known to fail when the HYP mode check
code is present, although the exact cause remains unknown and may
be unrelated. [1]

This patch restores the old behaviour for pre-v6 platforms, whereby
the CPSR is forced directly to SVC mode with IRQs and FIQs masked.
All kernels capable of booting on v7 hardware will retain the
check, so this should not impair functionality.

ARM: 7549/1: HYP: fix boot on some ARM1136 cores

It appears that performing a "movs pc, lr" to force the kernel into
SVC mode on the OMAP2420 (ARM1136) prevents the platform from booting
correctly (change introduced in 80c59da [ARM: virt: allow the kernel
to be entered in HYP mode]).

While the reason it fails is not understood yet (the same code runs
fine on the OMAP2430, ARM1136 as well), partially revert that change
for platforms that do not enter in HYP mode, preserving the new
feature and restoring a working kernel on the OMAP2420.

ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP mode

This patch does two things:

* Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry.
The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces
the damage window just in case it doesn't.

* Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is
properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from
an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C
parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a
another privileged mode such as hyp mode.

This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or
hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization
Extensions is built into the kernel.

Bootup with lockdep enabled has been broken on v7 since b46c0f74657d
("ARM: 7321/1: cache-v7: Disable preemption when reading CCSIDR").

This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls
v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch
ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off())
when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off).

Fix this by using a notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs. The code
already uses the notrace variant of restore_irqs.

ARM: 6516/1: Allow SMP_ON_UP to work with Thumb-2 kernels.

* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the
THUMB2_KERNEL case. For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split
into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on
unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on.

No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the
number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep
the code as simple as possible.

* Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support
CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre.

* Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that
the content really is the right size (4 bytes).

(No check is done for ALT_SMP(). Possibly, this could be fixed
by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus
ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros. In the first case,
ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.)

* smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due
to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected
instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct
instruction size is satisfied in this case.

* A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb:

smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser)
smp_dmb @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP()

This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb,
when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page.

There might be a better way to achieve this.

* Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on
(!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now
supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2
currently assumes little-endian order.)

Tested using a single generic realview kernel on:
ARM RealView PB-A8 (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL={n,y})
ARM RealView PBX-A9 (SMP)

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.

This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.

ARM: 6384/1: Remove the domain switching on ARMv6k/v7 CPUs

This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and
__switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register.

Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page
tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the
kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in
the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and
newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory.

Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific
functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel
memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set
to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to
the LDR/STR ones.

The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only
access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still
works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register
(CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page
isn't possible.

The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok()
function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,

Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data
is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions,
thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

ARM: fix build error in arch/arm/kernel/process.c

/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.

Complete irq tracing support for ARM

Before this patch enabling and disabling irqs in assembler code and by
the hardware wasn't tracked completly.

I had to transpose two instructions in arch/arm/lib/bitops.h because
restore_irqs doesn't preserve the flags with CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS=y

[ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriers

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
archit

[ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriers

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.
