locking/mutex: Disable optimistic spinning on some architectures

2014-07-29T15:01:47+00:00

commit 4badad352a6bb202ec68afa7a574c0bb961e5ebc upstream.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.

powerpc: Disable RELOCATABLE for COMPILE_TEST with PPC64

2014-07-18T13:51:30+00:00

commit fb43e8477ed9006c4f397f904c691a120503038c upstream.

powerpc:allmodconfig has been failing for some time with the following
error.

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:1312: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1

A number of attempts to fix the problem by moving around code have been
unsuccessful and resulted in failed builds for some configurations and
the discovery of toolchain bugs.

Fix the problem by disabling RELOCATABLE for COMPILE_TEST builds instead.
While this is less than perfect, it avoids substantial code changes
which would otherwise be necessary just to make COMPILE_TEST builds
happy and might have undesired side effects.

Pull ARM SoC platform changes from Olof Johansson:
 "This branch contains mostly additions and changes to platform
  enablement and SoC-level drivers.  Since there's sometimes a
  dependency on device-tree changes, there's also a fair amount of
  those in this branch.

  Pieces worth mentioning are:

   - Mbus driver for Marvell platforms, allowing kernel configuration
     and resource allocation of on-chip peripherals.
   - Enablement of the mbus infrastructure from Marvell PCI-e drivers.
   - Preparation of MSI support for Marvell platforms.
   - Addition of new PCI-e host controller driver for Tegra platforms
   - Some churn caused by sharing of macro names between i.MX 6Q and 6DL
     platforms in the device tree sources and header files.
   - Various suspend/PM updates for Tegra, including LP1 support.
   - Versatile Express support for MCPM, part of big little support.
   - Allwinner platform support for A20 and A31 SoCs (dual and quad
     Cortex-A7)
   - OMAP2+ support for DRA7, a new Cortex-A15-based SoC.

  The code that touches other architectures are patches moving MSI
  arch-specific functions over to weak symbols and removal of
  ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI, acked by PCI maintainers"

 "Here's the powerpc batch for this merge window.  Some of the
  highlights are:

   - A bunch of endian fixes ! We don't have full LE support yet in that
     release but this contains a lot of fixes all over arch/powerpc to
     use the proper accessors, call the firmware with the right endian
     mode, etc...

   - A few updates to our "powernv" platform (non-virtualized, the one
     to run KVM on), among other, support for bridging the P8 LPC bus
     for UARTs, support and some EEH fixes.

   - Some mpc51xx clock API cleanups in preparation for a clock API
     overhaul

   - A pile of cleanups of our old math emulation code, including better
     support for using it to emulate optional FP instructions on
     embedded chips that otherwise have a HW FPU.

   - Some infrastructure in selftest, for powerpc now, but could be
     generalized, initially used by some tests for our perf instruction
     counting code.

   - A pile of fixes for hotplug on pseries (that was seriously
     bitrotting)

   - The usual slew of freescale embedded updates, new boards, 64-bit
     hiberation support, e6500 core PMU support, etc..."

powerpc: Work around gcc miscompilation of __pa() on 64-bit

2013-08-27T06:59:30+00:00

On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of
gcc as something like:

        addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha
        addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l

This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits
are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top
nibble.  This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least.

To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator,
and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator.  Using an AND
operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code
since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it
takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add
it on.  (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.)
