* arm64: ptrace: remove obsolete ptrace request numbers from user headersWill Deacon2012-09-271-6/+6
| | | | | | | | The use of regsets has removed the need for many private ptrace requests, so remove the corresponding definitions from the user-visible ptrace.h Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

* arm64: Generic timers supportMarc Zyngier2012-09-171-0/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the ARM generic timers with A64 instructions for accessing the timer registers. It uses the physical counter as the clock source and the virtual counter as sched_clock. The timer frequency can be specified via DT or read from the CNTFRQ_EL0 register. The physical counter is also accessible from user space allowing fast gettimeofday() implementation.

* arm64: Floating point and SIMDCatalin Marinas2012-09-172-0/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for FP/ASIMD register bank saving and restoring during context switch and FP exception handling to generate SIGFPE. There are 32 128-bit registers and the context switching is currently done non-lazily. Benchmarks on real hardware are required before implementing lazy FP state saving/restoring.

* arm64: 32-bit (compat) applications supportWill Deacon2012-09-174-0/+1399
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for 32-bit applications. The vectors page is a binary blob mapped into the application user space at 0xffff0000 (the AArch64 toolchain does not support compilation of AArch32 code). Full compatibility with ARMv7 user space is supported. The use of deprecated ARMv7 functionality (SWP, CP15 barriers) has been disabled by default on AArch64 kernels and unaligned LDM/STM is not supported. Please note that only the ARM 32-bit EABI is supported, so no OABI compatibility.

* arm64: Signal handling supportCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+437
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for signal handling. The sigreturn is done via VDSO, introduced by a previous patch. The SA_RESTORER is still defined as it is required for 32-bit (compat) support but it is not to be used for 64-bit applications.

* arm64: System calls handlingCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+138
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and flush the caches entirely from user space. The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.

* arm64: SMP supportCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+469
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a branch is more expensive. For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.

* arm64: Device specific operationsCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds several definitions for device communication, including I/O accessors and ioremap(). The __raw_* accessors are implemented as inline asm to avoid compiler generation of post-indexed accesses (less efficient to emulate in a virtualised environment).

* arm64: CPU supportCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds AArch64 CPU specific functionality. It assumes that the implementation is generic to AArch64 and does not require specific identification. Different CPU implementations may require the setting of various ACTLR_EL1 bits but such information is not currently available and it should ideally be pushed to firmware.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
