[PATCH v3 0/5] ARM: Initial support for Cortex-M3

[PATCH v3 0/5] ARM: Initial support for Cortex-M3

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Hello,

this is the result of reworking Catalin's exception handling patch to
stick to the current pt_regs layout. I extended it by two words to save
the exception return value. (The 2nd word is unused and only to maintain
stack alignment.)

Other than that only minor cleanups were done (some of them were
suggested by Catalin in reply to my v2 series).

These patches are available at

	git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux.git cortexm3-for-rmk

basing on 3.3-rc7. There are some bits missing to allow a Cortex-M3 to
boot. They are contained in the branch efm32 in the same repository
together with support for the efm32 SoC if you're interested.
The most important parts missing (apart from SoC specific stuff) are
interrupt support and Makefile/Kconfig glue.

I'd be happy if these patches made it into 3.4-rc1. Any constructive
feedback welcome.

Best regards
Uwe

I think you could reduce the amount of #ifdef's significantly here.  
While the cr_alignment variable and its sister are of no use in a 
no-CP15 system, you could still leave them there initialized to zero and 
only conditionally compile out the CP15 modifyers with a dummy version.  
This is only 2 words wasted in your kernel image to keep the code 
cleaner.

More comments below.

The kernel is compiled with -mimplicit-it so you do not need to specify 
any it here.

Again, you could just leave the original display, with cr=00000000 which 
is a fairly good representation of reality.

Same here.  With cr_alignment set to zero, you don't need the above 
#ifdef.

Here the #ifdef is probably legitimate.

However it might be best to provide a dummy set_cr() instead of 
#ifdef'ing it out everywhere.

The main purpose to create this patch is that for v7m I don't compile
entry-armv.S. As cr_alignment is defined there I don't "have" this
variable. So I have to move the definition to a different file to waste
it :-)

Maybe having

	#define cr_alignment 0

for the !CONFIG_CPU_CP15 case would be a nice alternative. This way all
places that want to modify cr_alignment fail to compile, but reading
gives a "fairly good representation of reality".

Having said that I'm not sure about "fairly good". v7m also supports
unaligned accesses. But it's not configured in a cp15 register
(obviously) but in a system register. Quoting ARMARM-v7m:

	Configuration and Control Register, CCR
	[...]
	Bit [3] UNALIGN_TRP	Controls the trapping of unaligned word or
				halfword accesses:
				0 = Trapping disabled.
				1 = Trapping enabled.
				Unaligned load-store multiples and word
				or halfword exclusive accesses always
				fault.

So we need a more general abstraction to have correct and clean code?

But note I didn't check the two different implementations deeply to be
sure not to compare two different things.

What should the dummy set_cr do? Print a runtime warning if called with
!= 0?

Even better, yes.

Hence having a "control register" displaying as zero is still fairly 
good.

In the context of the alignment trap code, yes.  Maybe on v7m there is 
no point having the alignment trap disabled at all.  It's been almost 
forever that gcc is not relying on the side effect of misaligned 
accesses anymore.

Maybe not.  In fact if that code path is used, then something might be 
wrong at a higher level.

And that's why I choosed not to implement a dummy set_cr ...

I think this patch needs a better explanation. It looks to me that
it's simply a bug fix, because every printk that is not a continuation
of a previous printk needs a KERN_* line. In that case, it should
just get applied as a bug fix independent of the other patches.

However, if you sometimes don't have a newline after the previous
printk, this patch is actually wrong and should not get applied at
all.

I don't get your reasoning here.

An (independant) printk (that is expected to start at a new line) must
start with KERN_SOMETHING iff the previous printk always ends in \n?
Probably not. 

Independently of the correctness of the first patch that splits the
printk I'm just taking it as an example:

In this case the two printks in question are:

		printk("CPU: %s [%08x] revision %d (ARMv%s)", ...);
	#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_CP15
		printk(KERN_CONT ", cr=%08lx\n", cr_alignment);
	#endif

and

		printk("CPU: %s data cache, %s instruction cache\n", ...)

In this case it's correct to add KERN_INFO to the last printk, isn't it?
When would you consider it to be wrong?

If you want to have the first group of printks to always end in \n, I'd
have to do:

		printk("CPU: %s [%08x] revision %d (ARMv%s)", ...);
	#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_CP15
		printk(KERN_CONT ", cr=%08lx", cr_alignment);
	#endif
		printk(KERN_CONT "\n");

but ISTR Linus (Torvalds) telling me that KERN_CONT "\n" is wrong and
should just be skipped.

Best regards
Uwe

I forgot about KERN_CONT, which did not exist until a few years ago
and is still not all that common. Initially, KERN_CONT was just an
empty string that was used to make it clear when a printk was
intentionally used as a continuation of the previous line, rather
than having no KERN_* at all.

In the example above, the first and the second line should get a KERN_INFO
or one of the others.

Ok, didn't know that.

Given my comments on that other patch, this one could be dropped 
altogether.

[PATCH v3 3/5] ARM: force branch instructions to use long distance encoding

[Uwe Kleine-König]

This fixes a linker error when the kernel image gets bigger than approx.
1 MiB.

This is done analogous to the change to head.S in commit

	a75e524 (ARM: 6504/1: Thumb-2: Fix long-distance conditional branches in head.S for Thumb-2.)

Like in the other cases, please add a short comment on that line 
justifying it, otherwise it may look redundant.

[PATCH v3 4/5] Cortex-M3: Add base support for Cortex-M3

[Uwe Kleine-König]

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

This patch adds the base support for the Cortex-M3 processor (ARMv7-M
architecture). It consists of the corresponding arch/arm/mm/ files and
various #ifdef's around the kernel. Exception handling is implemented by
a subsequent patch.

[ukleinek: squash in some changes originating from commit

b5717ba (Cortex-M3: Add support for the Microcontroller Prototyping System)

from the v2.6.33-arm1 patch stack, port to post 3.2, drop zImage
support, drop reorganisation of pt_regs, and a few cosmetic changes]

[PATCH v3 5/5] Cortex-M3: Add support for exception handling

[Uwe Kleine-König]

This patch implements the exception handling for the ARMv7-M
architecture (pretty different from the A or R profiles).

It bases on work done earlier by Catalin for 2.6.33 but was nearly
completely rewritten to use a pt_regs layout compatible to the A
profile.

That's pretty ambitious. Most maintainers (including Russell) closed
their trees by now. You can still aim for 3.5-rc1 and ideally have them
in -next a few weeks before (though only once Russell is fine with the
patches).

I'll go through the patches sometime next week.

Right. I don't see anything wrong with the patches, but now is not
the time for them. Let's do a proper review after the merge window
and then get them in early for 3.5.
