Vineet Gupta 7bb66f6e6e ARC: lazy dcache flush broke gdb in non-aliasing configs
gdbserver inserting a breakpoint ends up calling copy_user_page() for a
code page. The generic version of which (non-aliasing config) didn't set
the PG_arch_1 bit hence update_mmu_cache() didn't sync dcache/icache for
corresponding dynamic loader code page - causing garbade to be executed.

So now aliasing versions of copy_user_highpage()/clear_page() are made
default. There is no significant overhead since all of special alias
handling code is compiled out for non-aliasing build

Vineet Gupta 006dfb3c9c ARC: Use enough bits for determining page's cache color
The current code uses 2 bits for determining page's dcache color, thus
sorting pages into 4 bins, whereas the aliasing dcache really has 2 bins
(8k page, 64k dcache - 4 way-set-assoc).
This can cause extraneous flushes - e.g. color 0 and 2.

Vineet Gupta 3e87974dec ARC: Brown paper bag bug in macro for checking cache color
The VM_EXEC check in update_mmu_cache() was getting optimized away
because of a stupid error in definition of macro addr_not_cache_congruent()

The intention was to have the equivalent of following:

	if (a || (1 ? b : 0))

but we ended up with following:

	if (a || 1 ? b : 0)

And because precedence of '||' is more that that of '?', gcc was optimizing
away evaluation of <a>

Nasty Repercussions:
1. For non-aliasing configs it would mean some extraneous dcache flushes
   for non-code pages if U/K mappings were not congruent.
2. For aliasing config, some needed dcache flush for code pages might
   be missed if U/K mappings were congruent.

Vineet Gupta a950549c67 ARC: copy_(to|from)_user() to honor usermode-access permissions
This manifested as grep failing psuedo-randomly:

-------------->8---------------------
[ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet
[ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet
[ARCLinux]$ ip address show lo | grep inet
[ARCLinux]$

    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
-------------->8---------------------

ARC700 MMU provides fully orthogonal permission bits per page:
Ur, Uw, Ux, Kr, Kw, Kx

The user mode page permission templates used to have all Kernel mode
access bits enabled.
This caused a tricky race condition observed with uClibc buffered file
read and UNIX pipes.

1. Read access to an anon mapped page in libc .bss: write-protected
   zero_page mapped: TLB Entry installed with Ur + K[rwx]

2. grep calls libc:getc() -> buffered read layer calls read(2) with the
   internal read buffer in same .bss page.
   The read() call is on STDIN which has been redirected to a pipe.
   read(2) => sys_read() => pipe_read() => copy_to_user()

3. Since page has Kernel-write permission (despite being user-mode
   write-protected), copy_to_user() suceeds w/o taking a MMU TLB-Miss
   Exception (page-fault for ARC). core-MM is unaware that kernel
   erroneously wrote to the reserved read-only zero-page (BUG #1)

4. Control returns to userspace which now does a write to same .bss page
   Since Linux MM is not aware that page has been modified by kernel, it
   simply reassigns a new writable zero-init page to mapping, loosing the
   prior write by kernel - effectively zero'ing out the libc read buffer
   under the hood - hence grep doesn't see right data (BUG #2)

The fix is to make all kernel-mode access permissions mirror the
user-mode ones. Note that the kernel still has full access to pages,
when accessed directly (w/o MMU) - this fix ensures that kernel-mode
access in copy_to_from() path uses the same faulting access model as for
pure user accesses to keep MM fully aware of page state.

The issue is peudo-random because it only shows up if the TLB entry
installed in #1 is present at the time of #3. If it is evicted out, due
to TLB pressure or some-such, then copy_to_user() does take a TLB Miss
Exception, with a routine write-to-anon COW processing installing a
fresh page for kernel writes and also usable as it is in userspace.

Further the issue was dormant for so long as it depends on where the
libc internal read buffer (in .bss) is mapped at runtime.
If it happens to reside in file-backed data mapping of libc (in the
page-aligned slack space trailing the file backed data), loader zero
padding the slack space, does the early cow page replacement, setting
things up at the very beginning itself.

With gcc 4.8 based builds, the libc buffer got pushed out to a real
anon mapping which triggers the issue.

Vineet Gupta f538881cc6 ARC: [mm] Prevent stray dcache lines after__sync_icache_dcach()
Flush and INVALIDATE the dcache page.

This helper is only used for writeback of CODE pages to memory. So
there's no value in keeping the dcache lines around. Infact it is risky
as a writeback on natural eviction under pressure can cause un-needed
writeback with weird issues on aliasing dcache configurations.

Vineet Gupta 4102b53392 ARC: [mm] Aliasing VIPT dcache support 2/4
This is the meat of the series which prevents any dcache alias creation
by always keeping the U and K mapping of a page congruent.
If a mapping already exists, and other tries to access the page, prev
one is flushed to physical page (wback+inv)

Essentially flush_dcache_page()/copy_user_highpage() create K-mapping
of a page, but try to defer flushing, unless U-mapping exist.
When page is actually mapped to userspace, update_mmu_cache() flushes
the K-mapping (in certain cases this can be optimised out)

Additonally flush_cache_mm(), flush_cache_range(), flush_cache_page()
handle the puring of stale userspace mappings on exit/munmap...

flush_anon_page() handles the existing U-mapping for anon page before
kernel reads it via the GUP path.

Note that while not complete, this is enough to boot a simple
dynamically linked Busybox based rootfs

Vineet Gupta eacd0e950d ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing VIPT)
flush_dcache_page( ) is MM hook to ensure that a page has consistent
views between kernel and userspace. Thus it is called when

* kernel writes to a page which at some later point could get mapped to
  userspace (so kernel mapping needs to be flushed-n-inv)
* kernel is about to read from a page with possible userspace mappings
  (so userspace mappings needs to be made coherent with kernel ones)

However for Non aliasing VIPT dcache, any userspace mapping will always
be congruent to kernel mapping. Thus d-cache need need not be flushed at
all (or delayed indefinitely).

The only reason it does need to be flushed is when mapping code pages.
Since icache doesn't snoop dcache, those dirty dcache lines need to be
written back to memory and icache line invalidated so that icache lines
fetch will get the right data.

Decent gains on LMBench fork/exec/sh and File I/O micro-benchmarks.

Vineet Gupta 7586bf7286 ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for kernel mappings
This change continues the theme from prev commit - this time icache
handling for kernel's own code modification (vmalloc: loadable modules,
breakpoints for kprobes/kgdb...)

flush_icache_range() calls the CDU icache helper with vaddr to enable
exact line invalidate.

For a true kernel-virtual mapping, the vaddr is actually virtual hence
valid as index into cache. For kprobes breakpoint however, the vaddr arg
is actually paddr - since that's how normal kernel is mapped in ARC
memory map.  This implies that CDU will use the same addr for
indexing as for tag match - which is fine since kernel code would only
have that "implicit" mapping and none other.

This should speed up module loading significantly - specially on default
ARC700 icache configurations (32k) which alias.

Vineet Gupta 24603fdd19 ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for user mappings
ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made
coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page().

However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr
(index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a
line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus
the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented
efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform
the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at
the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of
visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless).

Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in
update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics.
With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done.

Vineet Gupta 8d56bec2f2 ARC: [mm] optimize needless full mm TLB flush on munmap
munmap ends up calling tlb_flush() which for ARC was flushing the entire
TLB unconditionally (by moving the MMU to a new ASID)

do_munmap
  unmap_region
    unmap_vmas
      unmap_single_vma
         unmap_page_range
            tlb_start_vma
            zap_pud_range
            tlb_end_vma()
  tlb_finish_mmu
    tlb_flush()  ---> unconditional flush_tlb_mm()

So even a single page munmap, a frequent operation when uClibc dynamic
linker (ldso) is loading the dependent shared libraries, would move the
the ASID multiple times - needlessly invalidating the pre-faulted TLB
entries (and increasing the rate of ASID wraparound + full TLB flush).

This is now optimised to only be called if tlb->full_mm (which means
for exit/execve) cases only. And for those cases, flush_tlb_mm() is
already optimised to be a no-op for mm->mm_users == 0.

So essentially there are no mmore full mm flushes - except for fork which
anyhow needs it for properly COW'ing parent address space.

munmap now needs to do TLB range flush, which is implemented with
tlb_end_vma()

Results
-------
1. ASID now consistenly moves by 4 during a simple ls (as opposed to 5 or
   7 before).

2. LMBench microbenchmark also shows improvements

Vineet Gupta c93d8b8c78 ARC: Allow embedded arc-intc to be properly placed in DT intc hierarchy
arc-intc is initialized in arc common code as it is applicable to all
platforms. However platforms with their own external intc still need to
refer to it for correct DT interrupt tree hierarchy setup,

e.g.
static struct of_device_id __initdata tb10x_irq_ids[] = {
	{ .compatible = "snps,arc700-intc", .data = dummy_init_irq },
	{ .compatible = "abilis,tb10x_ictl", .data = tb10x_init_irq },
	{},
};

The fix is to use the generic irqchip framework to tie all irqchips in
a special linker section and then call irqchip_init() which calls the
DT of_irq_init() for all the intc in one go.

That way the platform code need not be aware of arc-intc at all.

Tejun Heo a43cb95d54 dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()
show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print
generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly
different forms.  This patch introduces a generic function to print debug
information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same
information and it's much easier to modify what's printed.

show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack()
does plus task and thread_info pointers.

* Archs which didn't print debug info now do.

  alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r,
  metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc,
  um, xtensa

* Already prints debug info.  Replaced with show_regs_print_info().
  The printed information is superset of what used to be there.

  arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86

* s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information
  along with generic debug info.  Heiko and Martin think that the
  arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation.
  Converted to use the generic version.

Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register
dumps.

An example BUG() dump follows.

Tejun Heo 196779b9b4 dump_stack: consolidate dump_stack() implementations and unify their behaviors
Both dump_stack() and show_stack() are currently implemented by each
architecture.  show_stack(NULL, NULL) dumps the backtrace for the
current task as does dump_stack().  On some archs, dump_stack() prints
extra information - pid, utsname and so on - in addition to the
backtrace while the two are identical on other archs.

The usages in arch-independent code of the two functions indicate
show_stack(NULL, NULL) should print out bare backtrace while
dump_stack() is used for debugging purposes when something went wrong,
so it does make sense to print additional information on the task which
triggered dump_stack().

There's no reason to require archs to implement two separate but mostly
identical functions.  It leads to unnecessary subtle information.

This patch expands the dummy fallback dump_stack() implementation in
lib/dump_stack.c such that it prints out debug information (taken from
x86) and invokes show_stack(NULL, NULL) and drops arch-specific
dump_stack() implementations in all archs except blackfin.  Blackfin's
dump_stack() does something wonky that I don't understand.

Debug information can be printed separately by calling
dump_stack_print_info() so that arch-specific dump_stack()
implementation can still emit the same debug information.  This is used
in blackfin.

This patch brings the following behavior changes.

* On some archs, an extra level in backtrace for show_stack() could be
  printed.  This is because the top frame was determined in
  dump_stack() on those archs while generic dump_stack() can't do that
  reliably.  It can be compensated by inlining dump_stack() but not
  sure whether that'd be necessary.

* Most archs didn't use to print debug info on dump_stack().  They do
  now.

An example WARN dump follows.

  ...

v2: CPU number added to the generic debug info as requested by s390
    folks and dropped the s390 specific dump_stack().  This loses %ksp
    from the debug message which the maintainers think isn't important
    enough to keep the s390-specific dump_stack() implementation.

    dump_stack_print_info() is moved to kernel/printk.c from
    lib/dump_stack.c.  Because linkage is per objecct file,
    dump_stack_print_info() living in the same lib file as generic
    dump_stack() means that archs which implement custom dump_stack()
    - at this point, only blackfin - can't use dump_stack_print_info()
    as that will bring in the generic version of dump_stack() too.  v1
    The v1 patch broke build on blackfin due to this issue.  The build
    breakage was reported by Fengguang Wu.

Vineet Gupta a89516b31c ARC: [kbuild] Avoid DTB rebuilds if DTS are untouched
Currently, for every ARC kernel build I see the following:

--------------->8-----------------
  DTB    arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S
  AS      arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.o
  LD      arch/arc/boot/dts/built-in.o
rm arch/arc/boot/dts/angel4.dtb.S        <-- forces rebuild next iter
  CHK     kernel/config_data.h
--------------->8-----------------

This is because *.dts.S is intermediate file in dtb generation and is by
default deleted by make which needs a ".SECONDARY" hint to NOT do so.

This could have ideally been done in scripts/Makefile.lib - for benefit
of all, however .SECONDARY doesn't seem to work with wildcards.

Thanks to Stephen for suggesting .SECONDARY (vs .PRECIOUS) and making
that work using a non wildcard version in arch makefile.

Thanks to James Hogan for pointing out that *.dtb.S now needs to be
added to clean-files

commit "fs: make binfmt support for #! scripts modular and removable"
made support for #!scripts optional - thus need to include the Kconfig
file to get all relevant BINFMT_*

Vineet Gupta fbf8e13d31 ARC: [kbuild] Allow platforms to disable LLSC for !SMP as well
Currently ARC_HAS_LLSC can be influenced by platform for SMP only using
ARC_HAS_COH_LLSC. For !SMP it defaults to "y".

It turns out that some customers can't support it all, even in UP.
So we change the semantics, and use a negative dependency ARC_CANT_LLSC.
Any platform (independent of SMP or !SMP) can select it to disable LLSC.

Vineet Gupta 104058ede7 ARC: [build] Allow uncompressed uImage
The existing uImage target always generates gzip compressed image which
drags bootup for some very slow FPGA customer boards.

So introduce seperate make targets:uImage.{bin,gz} with uncompressed
being default. Also tie gz generation to CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP, which a
platform can select in it's Kconfig if it wishes gz to be default.
