2005-08-31[ARM] 2867/2: unaligned ldrd/strd fixupsSteve Longerbeam
Patch from Steve Longerbeam Adds an implementation of unaligned LDRD and STRD fixups. Also fixes a bug where do_alignment() would misinterpret and fixup an unaligned LDRD/STRD as LDRH/STRH, causing memory corruption. This is the same as Patch #2867/1, but with minor whitespace and comments changes, plus a check for arch-level >= v5TE before printing ai_dword count in proc_alignment_read().

2005-08-29[ARM] 2853/1: Make alloc_init_supersection() work with 36-bit mappingsDeepak Saxena
Patch from Deepak Saxena Working on adding support for 36-bit static mappings for ARMv6 and Intel's XSC3 core and noticed that alloc_init_supersection currently increments the phys addr by 1MB on each of the 16 iterations and then forces alignment to supersection size (16MB). This is really uneeded b/c we have already forced the phys address to be 16MB aligned in create_mapping(). Furthermore, this breaks 36-bit addressing b/c bits [23:20] of the PMD contain bits [35:32] of the physical address and the masking causes us to loose those bits thus ending up with an incorrect virt -> phys translation. The other option is to have an alloc_init_supersection36. Tested on Intel IXP2350 CPU with 36-bit static I/O mappings.

2005-08-10[ARM] Control v6 'global' bit via Linux PTE entriesRussell King
Unfortunately, we can't use the "user" bit in the page tables to control whether a page table entry is "global" or "asid" specific, since the vector page is mapped as "user" accessible but is not process specific. Therefore, give direct control of the ARMv6 "nG" (not global) bit to the mm layers. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2005-06-21[PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentationWolfgang Wander
Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and causes huge performance increases in thread creation. The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6 kernel. The problem is twofold: 1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always searched from the base address on. So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base large and available for larger requests. 2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of 1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation. The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead. The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my (earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely (as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads requires 0.7s system time. Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in /proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads. Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

2005-04-29[PATCH] ARM: 2656/1: Access permission bits are wrong for kernel XIP ↵George G. Davis
sections on ARMv6 Patch from George G. Davis This patch is required for kernel XIP support on ARMv6 machines. It ensures that the access permission bits for kernel XIP section descriptors are APX=1 and AP[1:0]=01, which is Kernel read-only/User no access permissions. Prior to this change, kernel XIP section descriptor access permissions were set to Kernel no access/User no access on ARMv6 machines and the kernel would therefore hang upon entry to userspace when set_fs(USER_DS) was executed.

2005-04-29[PATCH] ARM: 2651/3: kernel helpers for NPTL supportNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM. In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty. The problematic and performance critical operations are performed through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that location anyway. This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments. And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant overhead to such minimalistic operations. The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two reasons: 1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the NPTL work is still progressing). 2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is present or not.

Patch from George G. Davis As noted in http://www.arm.com/linux/patch-2.6.9-arm1.gz, the "Faulty SWP instruction on 1136 doesn't set bit 11 in DFSR." So the v6_early_abort handler does not report the correct rd/wr direction for the SWP instruction which may result in SEGVS or hangs.

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.
