2006-12-06sh: Drop CPU subtype IRQ headers.Paul Mundt
This drops the various IRQ headers that were floating around and primarily providing hardcoded IRQ definitions for the various CPU subtypes. This quickly got to be an unmaintainable mess, made even more evident by the subtle breakage introduced by the SH-2 and SH-2A changes. Now that subtypes are able to register IRQ maps directly, just rip all of the headers out. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
2006-12-06sh: Configurable timer IRQ.Paul Mundt

2006-10-31sh: Fix IPR-IRQ's for IRQ-chip change breakage.Jamie Lenehan
The conversion from IPR-IRQ to IRQ-chip resulted in the ipr data being allocated in a local variable in make_ipr_irq - breaking anything using IPR interrupts. This changes all of the callers of make_ipr_irq to allocate a static structure containing the IPR data which is then passed to make_ipr_irq.

2006-10-20sh: Convert INTC2 to IRQ table registration.Paul Mundt
Currently the INTC2 code contains a fixed IRQ table that it iterates through to set the handler type, we move this in to the CPU subtype setup code instead and allow for submitting the table that way. This drops the ST40 tables, as nothing has been happening with those processors, while converting the only existing users to use the new table directly (SH7760 and SH7780).

2006-10-19sh: Fix exception_handling_table alignment.Paul Mundt
With the recent change ripping out interrupt_table, explicit padding of the table was missing, causing bad things to happen when manually inserting handlers in to the table.

2006-10-12sh: interrupt exception handling reworkPaul Mundt
Kill off interrupt_table for all of the CPU subtypes, we now default in to stepping in to do_IRQ() for _all_ IRQ exceptions and counting the spurious ones, rather than simply flipping on the ones we cared about. This and enabling the IRQ by default automatically has already uncovered a couple of bugs and IRQs that weren't being caught, as well as some that are being generated far too often (SCI Tx Data Empty, for example). The general rationale is to use a marker for interrupt exceptions, test for it in the handle_exception() path, and skip out to do_IRQ() if it's found. Everything else follows the same behaviour of finding the cached EXPEVT value in r2/r2_bank, we just rip out the INTEVT read from entry.S entirely (except for in the kGDB NMI case, which is another matter). Note that while this changes the do_IRQ() semantics regarding r4 handling, they were fundamentally broken anyways (relying entirely on r2_bank for the cached code). With this, we do the INTEVT read from do_IRQ() itself (in the CONFIG_CPU_HAS_INTEVT case), or fall back on r4 for the muxed IRQ number, which should also be closer to what SH-2 and SH-2A want anyways.

2006-10-02[PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architecturesArnd Bergmann
This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using _syscall3() to implement execve. The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386. Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do it for now.

2006-10-01[PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-09-29[PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

2006-09-27sh: Fix occasional flush_cache_4096() stack corruption.Paul Mundt
IRQs disabling in flush_cache_4096 for cache purge. Under certain workloads we would get an IRQ in the middle of a purge operation, and the cachelines would remain in an inconsistent state, leading to occasional stack corruption.

2006-09-27sh: Calculate shm alignment at runtime.Paul Mundt

2006-09-27sh: Initial vsyscall page support.Paul Mundt
This implements initial support for the vsyscall page on SH. At the moment we leave it configurable due to having nommu to support from the same code base. We hook it up for the signal trampoline return at present, with more to be added later, once uClibc catches up. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
