Robert Jarzmik reports that his PXA25x system fails to boot with 4.12,
failing at __flush_whole_cache in arch/arm/mm/proc-xscale.S:215:
0xc0019e20 <+0>: ldr r1, [pc, #788]
0xc0019e24 <+4>: ldr r0, [r1] <== here
with r1 containing 0xc06f82cd, which is the address of "clean_addr".
Examination of the System.map shows:
c06f22c8 D user_pmd_table
c06f22cc d __warned.19178
c06f22cd d clean_addr
indicating that a .data.unlikely section has appeared just before the
.data section from proc-xscale.S. According to objdump -h, it appears
that our assembly files default their .data alignment to 2**0, which
is bad news if the preceding .data section size is not power-of-2
aligned at link time.
Add the appropriate .align directives to all assembly files in arch/arm
that are missing them where we require an appropriate alignment.

Two files that get included when building the multi_v7_defconfig target
fail to build when selecting THUMB2_KERNEL for this configuration.
In both cases, we can just build the file as ARM code, as none of its
symbols are exported to modules, so there are no interworking concerns.
In the iwmmxt.S case, add ENDPROC() declarations so the symbols are
annotated as functions, resulting in the linker to emit the appropriate
mode switches.

commit 431a84b1a4
("ARM: 8034/1: Disable preemption in iwmmxt_task_enable()")
introduced macros {inc,dec}_preempt_count to iwmmxt_task_enable
to make it run with preemption disabled.
Unfortunately, other functions in iwmmxt.S also use concan_{save,dump,load}
sections located in iwmmxt_task_enable() to deal with iWMMXt coprocessor.
This causes an unbalanced preempt_count due to excessive dec_preempt_count
and destroyed return addresses in callers of concan_ labels due to a register
collision:

This patch fixes the issue by moving concan_{save,dump,load} into separate
code sections and make iwmmxt_task_enable() call them in the same way the
other functions use concan_ symbols. The test for valid ownership is moved
to concan_save and is safe for the other user of it, iwmmxt_task_disable().
The register collision is also resolved by moving concan_ symbols as
{inc,dec}_preempt_count are now local to iwmmxt_task_enable().

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

iwmmxt.S requires special treatment of coprocessor access registers
for PJ4 and XScale-based CPUs. It only checks for CPU_PJ4 and drops
down to XScale-based treatment on all other architectures.
As some PJ4B also come with iWMMXt and also need PJ4 treatment,
rework the corresponding preprocessor directives to explicitly
check for supported architectures and fail on unsupported ones.

The Undef abort handler in the kernel reads the undefined instruction
from user space. If the page table was modified from another CPU, the
user access could fail and do_page_fault() will be executed with
interrupts disabled. This can potentially deadlock on ARM11MPCore or on
Cortex-A15 with erratum 798181 workaround enabled (both implying IPI for
TLB maintenance with page table lock held).
This patch enables the IRQs in __und_usr before attempting to read the
instruction from user space.

Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the
kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't
present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions
into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable.
Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can
hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem
(eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

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.
Let it rip!
