[PATCH 0/2] ARM: shmobile: Move written variables from .text to .data

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi Simon, Magnus,

When CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y, the kernel
crashes during system suspend:
    
    Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.004 seconds) done.
    Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.002 seconds)
    done.
    PM: suspend of devices complete after 111.948 msecs
    PM: late suspend of devices complete after 1.086 msecs
    PM: noirq suspend of devices complete after 11.576 msecs
    Disabling non-boot CPUs ...
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
    1014ec ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
    CPU0: stopping

This happens because the shmobile assembler sources have several
variables that are written to in the .text section, while .text is
mapped read-only after kernel bootup if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.

This series fixes this by moving variables from .text to .data.
Note that there's still an issue with shmobile_boot_fn and
shmobile_boot_arg in arch/arm/mach-shmobile/headsmp.S.
So far I didn't manage to fix this (the code and data are copied to
SRAM on some SoCs).  However, currently this are harmless, as these are
written during early kernel boot up only, before .text is marked
read-only.

These issues were uncovered by "[PATCH v2] ARM: mm: flip priority of
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA". As that patch is planned for queue up (again)
soon, it may be a good idea to queue these fixes for v4.5, to avoid a
dependency with the arm tree.

Tested hard on sh73a0/kzm9g, r8a7791/koelsch.
Tested lighter on emev2/kzm9d[*], r8a73a4/ape6evm, r8a7740/armadillo, and
r8a7779/marzen[*] ([*] = no remote resume).

Thanks!

[PATCH 1/2] ARM: shmobile: Move shmobile_scu_base from .text to .data

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

shmobile_scu_base is being written to, so it doesn't belong in the .text
section. Fix this by moving it from asm .text to C .data, as it's no
longer used from asm code since commit 4f6da36f7edd5790 ("ARM: shmobile:
Remove old SCU boot code").

I always leave two blank lines between different sections, and one blank
line between function or data blocks.

Is that a problem?

[PATCH 2/2] ARM: shmobile: Move shmobile_smp_{mpidr, fn, arg}[] from .text to .data

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

When CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS=y and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y, the kernel
crashes during system suspend:

    Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.004 seconds) done.
    Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.002 seconds)
    done.
    PM: suspend of devices complete after 111.948 msecs
    PM: late suspend of devices complete after 1.086 msecs
    PM: noirq suspend of devices complete after 11.576 msecs

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
    1014ec ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
    CPU0: stopping

This happens because the .text section is marked read-only, while the
arrays shmobile_smp_mpidr[], shmobile_smp_fn[], and shmobile_smp_arg[]
are being written to.

Fix this by moving these arrays from the .text to the .data section.
This requires accessing them through a pointer after virtual to physical
translation.

You could do something slightly more efficient like this:

	adr	r2, 1f
	ldmia	r2, {r5, r6, r7}
	add	r5, r5, r2
	add	r6, r6, r2
	add	r7, r7, r2

FYI I sent a pull request for the omap related fixes earlier today. So
we should be good to go from that point of view for enabling rodata by
default for v4.6.
