Commit f4d6477f introduced a workaround for the lack of hardware
broadcasting of the cache maintenance operations on ARM11MPCore.
However, the workaround is only valid on CPUs that do not do speculative
loads into the D-cache.
This patch adds a Kconfig option with the corresponding help to make the
above clear. When the DMA_CACHE_RWFO option is disabled, the kernel
behaviour is that prior to the f4d6477f commit. This also allows ARMv6
UP processors with speculative loads to work correctly.
For other processors, a different workaround may be needed.

The mandatory barriers (mb, rmb, wmb) are used even on uniprocessor
systems for things like ordering Normal Non-cacheable memory accesses
with DMA transfer (via Device memory writes). The current implementation
uses dmb() for mb() and friends but this is not sufficient. The DMB only
ensures the relative ordering of the observability of accesses by other
processors or devices acting as masters. In case of DMA transfers
started by writes to device memory, the relative ordering is not ensured
because accesses to slave ports of a device are not considered
observable by the DMB definition.
A DSB is required for the data to reach the main memory (even if mapped
as Normal Non-cacheable) before the device receives the notification to
begin the transfer. Furthermore, some L2 cache controllers (like L2x0 or
PL310) buffer stores to Normal Non-cacheable memory and this would need
to be drained with the outer_sync() function call.
The patch also allows platforms to define their own mandatory barriers
implementation by selecting CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_BARRIERS and providing a
mach/barriers.h file.
Note that the SMP barriers are unchanged (being DMBs as before) since
they are only guaranteed to work with Normal Cacheable memory.

when pxa_register_device() is called). Description for each device
are stored in an array of 'struct pxa_device_desc'. Now that:
a. this array of device description is marked with __initdata and
can be freed up system is fully up
b. which means board code has to add all needed devices early in
his initializing function
c. platform specific data can now be marked as __initdata since
they are allocated and copied by platform_device_add_data()
4. only the basic UART1/2/3 are added, more devices will come later.

(20072fd0c9 lost most of its changes
somehow, came from a mbox archive applied with git-am. No idea
what happened. This puts back the missing bits. --rmk)
The initial patch from Lothar, and Lennert make it into a cleaner
one, modified and tested on PXA320 by Eric Miao.
This patch moves the L2 cache operations out of proc-xsc3.S into
dedicated outer cache support code.
CACHE_XSC3L2 can be deselected so no L2 cache specific code will be
linked in, and that L2 enable bit will not be set, this applies to
the following cases:
a. _only_ PXA300/PXA310 support included and no L2 cache wanted
b. PXA320 support included, but want L2 be disabled
So the enabling of L2 depends on two things:
- CACHE_XSC3L2 is selected
- and L2 cache is present
Where the latter is only a safeguard (previous testing shows it works
OK even when this bit is turned on).
IXP series of processors with XScale3 cannot disable L2 cache for the
moment since they depend on the L2 cache for its coherent memory, so
IXP may always select CACHE_XSC3L2.
Other L2 relevant bits are always turned on (i.e. the original code
enclosed by #if L2_CACHE_ENABLED .. #endif), as they showed no side
effects. Specifically, these bits are:
- OC bits in TTBASE register (table walk outer cache attributes)
- LLR Outer Cache Attributes (OC) in Auxiliary Control Register

This patch adds support for the unified Feroceon L2 cache controller
as found in e.g. the Marvell Kirkwood and Marvell Discovery Duo
families of ARM SoCs.
Note that:
- Page table walks are outer uncacheable on Kirkwood and Discovery
Duo, since the ARMv5 spec provides no way to indicate outer
cacheability of page table walks (specifying it in TTBR[4:3] is
an ARMv6+ feature).
This requires adding L2 cache clean instructions to
proc-feroceon.S (dcache_clean_area(), set_pte()) as well as to
tlbflush.h ({flush,clean}_pmd_entry()). The latter case is handled
by defining a new TLB type (TLB_FEROCEON) which is almost identical
to the v4wbi one but provides a TLB_L2CLEAN_FR flag.
- The Feroceon L2 cache controller supports L2 range (i.e. 'clean L2
range by MVA' and 'invalidate L2 range by MVA') operations, and this
patch uses those range operations for all Linux outer cache
operations, as they are faster than the regular per-line operations.
L2 range operations are not interruptible on this hardware, which
avoids potential livelock issues, but can be bad for interrupt
latency, so there is a compile-time tunable (MAX_RANGE_SIZE) which
allows you to select the maximum range size to operate on at once.
(Valid range is between one cache line and one 4KiB page, and must
be a multiple of the line size.)

Presently, we check for the minimum ARM architecture that we're
building for to determine whether we need ASID support. This is
wrong - if we're going to support a range of CPUs which include
ARMv6 or higher, we need the ASID.
Convert the checks to use a new configuration symbol, and arrange
for ARMv6 and higher CPU entries to select it.

By merging of uClinux/ARM, we need to treat various CPU cores which have
MMU, MPU or even none for memory management. The memory management
coprocessors are controlled by CP15 register set and the ARM core family
can be categorized by 5 groups by the register ;
G-a. CP15 is MMU : 610, 710, 720, 920, 922, 925, 926, 1020, 1020e, 1022,
v6 and the derivations sa1100, sa110, xscale, xsc3.
G-b. CP15 is MPU : 740, 940, 946, 996, 1156.
G-c. CP15 is MPU or MMU : 1026 (selectable by schematic design)
G-d. CP15 is exist, but nothing for memory managemnt : 966, 968.
G-e. no-CP15 : 7tdmi, 9tdmi, 9e, 9ej
This patch defines CPU_CP15, CPU_CP15_MMU and CPU_CP15_MPU. Thus the
family can be defined as :
- CPU_CP15 only : G-d
- CPU_CP15_MMU(implies CPU_CP15) : G-a, G-c(selectable)
- CPU_CP15_MPU(implies CPU_CP15) : G-b, G-c(selectable)
- !CPU_CP15 : G-e

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core. This is an
ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
- L2 cache
- I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
- Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
- Supersections (v6 compatible)
- 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
- Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
- LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
is simpler to keep it separate.
L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
capture command line parameters at this point.
There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
can be addressed down the road.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
present or not.
