459c1517f9 ARM: DMA: top-down allocation in DMA coherent region
Achieve better usage of the DMA coherent region by doing top-down
allocation rather than bottom up.  If we ask for a 128kB allocation,
this will be aligned to 128kB and satisfied from the very bottom
address.  If we then ask for a 600kB allocation, this will be aligned
to 1MB, and we will have a 896kB hole.

Performing top-down allocation resolves this by allocating the 128kB
at the very top, and then the 600kB can come in below it without any
unnecessary wastage.

This problem was reported by Janusz Krzysztofik, who had 2 x 128kB +
1 x 640kB allocations which wouldn't fit into 1MB.

b0a2679d27 ARM: initrd: disable initrd if passed address overlaps reserved region
Disable the initrd if the passed address already overlaps the reserved
region.  This avoids oopses on Netwinders when NeTTrom tells the kernel
that an initrd is located at mem+4MB, but this overlaps the BSS,
resulting in the kernels in-use BSS being freed.

This should be applied to v2.6.37-stable.

6d3e6d3640 ARM: fix cache-feroceon-l2 after stack based kmap_atomic()
Since commit 3e4d3af501 "mm: stack based kmap_atomic()", it is actively
wrong to rely on fixed kmap type indices (namely KM_L2_CACHE) as
kmap_atomic() totally ignores them and a concurrent instance of it may
happily reuse any slot for any purpose.  Because kmap_atomic() is now
able to deal with reentrancy, we can get rid of the ad hoc mapping here.

While the code is made much simpler, there is a needless cache flush
introduced by the usage of __kunmap_atomic().  It is not clear if the
performance difference to remove that is worth the cost in code
maintenance (I don't think there are that many highmem users on that
platform anyway) but that should be reconsidered when/if someone cares
enough to do some measurements.

Cache ownership must be acquired by reading/writing data from the
cache line to make cache operation have the desired effect on the
SMP MPCore CPU. However, the ownership is never acquired in the
v6_dma_inv_range function when cleaning the first line and
flushing the last one, in case the address is not aligned
to D_CACHE_LINE_SIZE boundary.
Fix this by reading/writing data if needed, before performing
cache operations.
While at it, fix v6_dma_flush_range to prevent RWFO outside

The current implementation of the v7_coherent_*_range function assumes
that the D and I cache lines have the same size, which is incorrect
architecturally. This patch adds the icache_line_size macro which reads
the CTR register. The main loop in v7_coherent_*_range is split in two
independent loops or the D and I caches. This also has the performance
advantage that the DSB is moved outside the main loop.

6323875db2 ARM: 6501/1: Thumb-2: Correct data alignment for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL in mm/proc-v7.S
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas.  As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C.  If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.

In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:

    * .quad and .double:
         .align 3

    * .long, .word, .single, .float:
         .align (or .align 2)

    * .short:
        No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
        instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
        immediately after an instruction.

In this specific case, we can achieve the desired alignment by
forcing a 32-bit branch instruction using the W() macro, since the
assembler location counter is already 32-bit aligned in this case.

6d9598e24d ARM: mach-shmobile: Initial AG5 and AG5EVM support
This patch adds initial support for Renesas SH-Mobile AG5.

At this point the AG5 CPU support is limited to the ARM
core, SCIF serial and a CMT timer together with L2 cache
and the GIC. The AG5EVM board also supports Ethernet.

Future patches will add support for GPIO, INTCS, CPGA
and platform data / driver updates for devices such as
IIC, LCDC, FSI, KEYSC, CEU and SDHI among others.

The code in entry-macro.S will be cleaned up when the
ARM IRQ demux code improvements have been merged.

Depends on the AG5EVM mach-type recently registered but
not yet present in arch/arm/tools/mach-types.

As the AG5EVM board comes with 512MiB memory it is
recommended to turn on HIGHMEM.

The SWP instruction was deprecated in the ARMv6 architecture,
superseded by the LDREX/STREX family of instructions for
load-linked/store-conditional operations. The ARMv7 multiprocessing
extensions mandate that SWP/SWPB instructions are treated as undefined
from reset, with the ability to enable them through the System Control
Register SW bit.

This patch adds the alternative solution to emulate the SWP and SWPB
instructions using LDREX/STREX sequences, and log statistics to
/proc/cpu/swp_emulation. To correctly deal with copy-on-write, it also
modifies cpu_v7_set_pte_ext to change the mappings to priviliged RO when
user RO.

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.

8df6516864 ARM: memblock: setup lowmem mappings using memblock
Use memblock information to setup lowmem mappings rather than the
membank array.

This allows platforms to manipulate the memblock information during
initialization to reserve (and remove) memory from the kernel's view
of memory - and thus allowing platforms to setup their own private
mappings for this memory without causing problems with multiple
aliasing mappings:

	size = min(size, SZ_2M);
	base = memblock_alloc(size, min(align, SZ_2M));
	memblock_free(base, size);
	memblock_remove(base, size);

This is needed because multiple mappings of regions with differing
attributes (sharability, type, cache) are not permitted with ARMv6
and above.

f25b4b4c89 ARM: memblock: move meminfo into find_limits directly
bootmem_init() no longer makes several uses of the membank
information, so move this into the one remaining called function
which does use it.
