a84fac75f3 [ARM] wire up sys_accept4() on ARM
sys_accept4() was added in kernel 2.6.28, but ARM was not updated
to include it.  The number and types of parameters is such that
no ARM-specific processing is needed, so wiring up sys_accept4()
just requires defining __NR_accept4 and adding a direct call in
the syscall entry table.

7ca8e0948a ARM: 6468/1: backtrace: fix calculation of thread stack base
When unwinding stack frames we must take care not to unwind
areas of memory that lie outside of the known extent of the stack.

This patch fixes an incorrect calculation of the stack base where
THREAD_SIZE is added to the stack pointer after it has already
been aligned to this value. Since the ALIGN macro performs this
addition internally, we end up overshooting the base by 8k.

a85f67d5e7 [ARM] 5613/1: implement CALLER_ADDRESSx
From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

As __builtin_return_address(n) doesn't work for ARM with n > 0, the
kernel needs its own implementation.

This fixes many warnings saying:

	warning: unsupported argument to '__builtin_return_address'

The new methods and walk_stackframe must not be instrumented because
CALLER_ADDRESSx is used in the various tracers and tracing the tracer is
a bad idea.

What's currently missing is an implementation using unwind tables.  This
is not fatal though, it's just that the tracers don't get enough
information to be really useful.

Note that if both ARM_UNWIND and FRAME_POINTER are enabled,
walk_stackframe uses unwind information.  So in this case the same
implementation is used as when FRAME_POINTER is disabled.

6f7f785421 ARM: 6341/1: unwind - optimise linked-list searches for modules
With several sections per module, and dozens of modules, the
searches down the linked list of sections would dominate the
lookup time, dwarfing any savings from the binary search
within the section.

A simple move-to-front optimisation exploits the commonality
of the code paths taken, and in simple real-world tests reduces
the number of steps in the search to barely more than 1.

ARM: Ensure do_cache_op takes mmap_sem

do_cache_op() uses find_vma() to validate its arguments without holding
any locking.  This means that the VMA could vanish beneath us.  Fix
this by taking a read lock on mmap_sem.

bce56e48c2 Allow PHYS_OFFSET to be runtime determined
This bases on work done earlier by Lennert Buytenhek and Mark A. Greer.
Compared to their approach zreladdr isn't guessed based on the pc
register but the bootloader is expected to pass PHYS_OFFSET in r3.  If
that value doesn't look right (e.g. isn't aligned) it is guessed based
on the value of sp.  This should work for CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM, too.

To use it for your machine removing the definition of PHYS_OFFSET from
<mach/memory.h> and selecting CONFIG_RUNTIME_PHYS_OFFSET should be
enough.

e0ab4ae09a arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0
commit 51b563fc93c8cb5bff1d67a0a71c374e4a4ea049 upstream.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

c894ed6956 [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacks
There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and
unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after
the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible
infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr).

The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The
0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by
a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel
mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

bac4e960b5 [ARM] barriers: improve xchg, bitops and atomic SMP barriers
Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:

- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
  architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
  read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
  ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.

- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.

So put these barriers in.  Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

826681043d [ARM] smp: fix cpumask usage in ARM SMP code
The ARM SMP code wasn't properly updated for the cpumask changes, which
results in smp_timer_broadcast() broadcasting ticks to non-online CPUs.

ae51e60984 [ARM] 5507/1: support R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and MOVT_ABS relocation types
From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>

To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.

The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.

The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself.  The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

0112fc2229 Separate out common fstatat code into vfs_fstatat
This is a version incorporating Christoph's suggestion.

Separate out common *fstatat functionality into a single function
instead of duplicating it all over the code.

eb8f3142fa [ARM] 5456/1: add sys_preadv and sys_pwritev
Kernel 2.6.30-rc1 added sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to most archs
but not ARM, resulting in

<stdin>:1421:2: warning: #warning syscall preadv not implemented
<stdin>:1425:2: warning: #warning syscall pwritev not implemented

This patch adds sys_preadv and sys_pwritev to ARM.

These syscalls simply take five long-sized parameters, so they
should have no calling-convention/ABI issues in the kernel.

Tested on armv5tel eabi using a preadv/pwritev test program posted
on linuxppc-dev earlier this month.

It would be nice to get this into the kernel before 2.6.30 final,
so that glibc's kernel version feature test for these syscalls
doesn't have to special-case ARM.
