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.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
On armv4t systems, we have always compiled the kernel with -march=armv4
instead of -march=armv4t, which means that any use of bx will bomb out.
Commit ba9b5d76372dc290b6ca04dad93927a22c2ac49a introduced the use of
bx in the kernel, which means we need to compile with -march=armv4t on
armv4t systems now.

Patch from George G. Davis
As reported by various folks on the ARM Linux kernel mailing list,
the video-buf.ko driver has undefined references on all ARM machines
which use it as observed during `make modules`:
Warning: "v4wb_clear_user_page" [drivers/media/video/video-buf.ko] undefined!
Similar warnings exist for all ARM machines which use this driver.
So this change adds the missing EXPORT_SYMBOLs to allow using this
driver as a module.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
The IOP 80219 xscale CPU is a stripped down version of the IOP32x.
But the fact that the 80219 and IOP32x are very similar doesn't mean
that they need to share a cpu table entry. It's also somewhat confusing
for the end user to see the 80219 reported as an IOP32x, so this patch
splits the IOP32x cpu table entry to make a separate entry for the
80219.

On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the
cache when written to". On others, this bit is required to
be one, and others it's required to be zero. Finally, on
ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents
speculative prefetches.
With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we
have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area
we're mapping.

Most MMU-based CPUs have a restriction on the setting of the data cache
enable and mmu enable bits in the control register, whereby if the data
cache is enabled, the MMU must also be enabled. Enabling the data
cache without the MMU is an invalid combination.
However, there are CPUs where the data cache can be enabled without the
MMU.
In order to allow these CPUs to take advantage of that, provide a
method whereby each proc-*.S file defines the control regsiter value
for use with nommu (with the MMU disabled.) Later on, when we add
support for enabling the MMU on these devices, we can adjust the
"crval" macro to also enable the data cache for nommu.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
xsc3. The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits. In addition,
we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.
Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
function as that still requires a special PTE setting. We also don't
touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
definition only used on non-coherent system.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.
L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.
There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.
