8f51965e70 ARM: assembler.h: Add string declaration macro
Declaring strings in assembler source involves a certain amount of
tedious boilerplate code in order to annotate the resulting symbol
correctly.

Encapsulating this boilerplate in a macro should help to avoid some
duplication and the occasional mistake.

2bc58a6fd7 ARM: 6959/1: SMP build fix for entry-macro-multi.S
The assembly code in entry-macro-multi.S does not build without
the include asm/assembler.h in the case of CONFIG_SMP=y.

Fixes the rather theoretical SMP build of mach-shmobile/entry-intc.c:

arch/arm/include/asm/entry-macro-multi.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/include/asm/entry-macro-multi.S:20: Error: bad instruction `alt_smp(test_for_ipi r0,r6,r5,lr)'

ed3768a8d9 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)

1142b71d85 ARM: 6489/1: thumb2: fix incorrect optimisation in usracc
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.

247055aa21 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.

f00ec48fad ARM: Allow SMP kernels to boot on UP systems
UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite
parts of the kernel.

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.

4260415f6a 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.

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

bac4e960b5 [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.
