709eb502eb [ARM] 3380/1: ixp2000: simplify ixdp2x00_master_npu() check
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

On the IXDP2x00s, the NPU that is PCI master is always the egress
(i.e. 'master') NPU.  At least on the IXDP2800, both NPUs have flash,
so the ixp2000_has_flash() check in ixdp2x00_master_npu() is useless.

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The xscale UART in the ixp2000 is basically just an 8250 UART (with

macros on the ixp2000.

6a0e243069 [ARM] 3352/1: DSB required for the completion of a TLB maintenance operation
Patch from Catalin Marinas

Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that
the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by
the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data
Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer).

Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions
since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching
back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

df666b9c51 [ARM] 3325/2: GPIO function to control multi-drive (open collector) capability
Patch from Andrew Victor

This patch adds the at91_set_multi_drive() function to enable/disable
the multi-drive (open collector) pin capability on the AT91RM9200
processor.

This is necessary to fix the UDC (USB Gadget) driver for the AT91RM9200
board as it will not allow the board reset line to be pulled low if the
pullup is not driven as an open collector output as the boards are wired
to the USB connector on both the DK/EK.

This version of the patch updates it to 2.6.16-rc4.

f822566165 [PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK
Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.

In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.

This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Since:

produces worse code on ARM than:

I therefore made it more explicit:

	__res |= __ex_flag;
	if (unlikely(__res != 0))

so it is not seen as a typo again.

Also made everything static inline rather than macros for better readability
(both produce the same code after all).

3f2829a315 [ARM] 3105/4: ARM EABI: new syscall entry convention
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

For a while we wanted to change the way syscalls were called on ARM.
Instead of encoding the syscall number in the swi instruction which
requires reading back the instruction from memory to extract that number
and polluting the data cache, it was decided that simply storing the
syscall number into r7 would be more efficient. Since this represents
an ABI change then making that change at the same time as EABI support
is the right thing to do.

It is now expected that EABI user space binaries put the syscall number
into r7 and use "swi 0" to call the kernel. Syscall register argument
are also expected to have "EABI arrangement" i.e. 64-bit arguments
should be put in a pair of registers from an even register number.

Example with long ftruncate64(unsigned int fd, loff_t length):

	legacy ABI:
	- put fd into r0
	- put length into r1-r2
	- use "swi #(0x900000 + 194)" to call the kernel

	new ARM EABI:
	- put fd into r0
	- put length into r2-r3 (skipping over r1)
	- put 194 into r7
	- use "swi 0" to call the kernel

Note that it is important to use 0 for the swi argument as backward
compatibility with legacy ABI user space relies on this.
The syscall macros in asm-arm/unistd.h were also updated to support
both ABIs and implement the right call method automatically.

2dede2d8e9 [ARM] 3102/1: ARM EABI: stack pointer must be 64-bit aligned after a CPU exception
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for
reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions.

We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an
exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit
aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function.

If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as
long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data
stack space remain multiples of 8.

da2b1cd619 [ARM] 3101/1: ARM EABI: slab memory must be 64-bit aligned
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Although ARM is still using 32-bit pointers, version 5 and later
versions of the ARM architecture introduced the ldrd and strd
instructions to move 64-bit data which must be 64-bit aligned in memory,
and the EABI includes new constraints on structure data alignment to
allow for the compiler to use those instructions. This means that any
slab allocation must start on a 64-bit boundary which is not equivalent
to BYTES_PER_WORD, especially on those architecture versions that
implements the ldrd/strd instructions.

Overriding the default alignment disables some slab debug features. If
those debug features are really needed then the kernel will have to be
compiled for version 4 of the ARM architecture.
