ARC: Support syscall ABI v4

2016-08-19T17:44:34Z

The syscall ABI includes the gcc functional calling ABI since a syscall implies userland caller and kernel callee. The current gcc ABI (v3) for ARCv2 ISA required 64-bit data be passed in even-odd register pairs, (potentially punching reg holes when passing such values as args). This was partly driven by the fact that the double-word LDD/STD instructions in ARCv2 expect the register alignment and thus gcc forcing this avoids extra MOV at the cost of a few unused register (which we have plenty anyways). This however was rejected as part of upstreaming gcc port to HS. So the new ABI v4 doesn't enforce the even-odd reg restriction. Do note that for ARCompact ISA builds v3 and v4 are practically the same in terms of gcc code generation. In terms of change management, we infer the new ABI if gcc 6.x onwards is used for building the kernel. This also needs a stable backport to enable older kernels to work with new tools/user-space Cc: Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring: - remove most of_platform_populate() calls in arch code. Now the DT core code calls it in the default case and platforms only need to call it if they have special needs - use pr_fmt on all the DT core print statements - CoreSight binding doc improvements to block name descriptions - add dt_to_config script which can parse dts files and list corresponding kernel config options - fix memory leak hit with a PowerMac DT - correct a bunch of STMicro compatible strings to use the correct vendor prefix - fix DA9052 PMIC binding doc to match what is actually used in dts files * tag 'devicetree-for-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/robh/linux: (35 commits) documentation: da9052: Update regulator bindings names to match DA9052/53 DTS expectations xtensa: Partially Revert "xtensa: Remove unnecessary of_platform_populate with default match table" xtensa: Fix build error due to missing include file MIPS: ath79: Add missing include file Fix spelling errors in Documentation/devicetree ARM: dts: fix STMicroelectronics compatible strings powerpc/dts: fix STMicroelectronics compatible strings Documentation: dt: i2c: use correct STMicroelectronics vendor prefix scripts/dtc: dt_to_config - kernel config options for a devicetree of: fdt: mark unflattened tree as detached of: overlay: add resolver error prints coresight: document binding acronyms Documentation/devicetree: document cavium-pip rx-delay/tx-delay properties of: use pr_fmt prefix for all console printing of/irq: Mark initialised interrupt controllers as populated of: fix memory leak related to safe_name() Revert "of/platform: export of_default_bus_match_table" of: unittest: use of_platform_default_populate() to populate default bus memory: omap-gpmc: use of_platform_default_populate() to populate default bus bus: uniphier-system-bus: use of_platform_default_populate() to populate default bus ...

arc: Remove unnecessary of_platform_populate with default match table

2016-06-23T19:58:33Z

After patch "of/platform: Add common method to populate default bus", it is possible for arch code to remove unnecessary callers of of_platform_populate with default match table. Acked-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Kefeng Wang Signed-off-by: Rob Herring

ARC: Don't try to use value of top level clock-frequency in DT

2016-05-09T04:02:30Z

We no longer use it and instead a real clk device such as fixed-clk instance is fed to timers etc. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin [vgupta: broken out of a bigger patch, rewrote changelog] Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: clocksource: DT based probe

2016-05-09T04:02:30Z

- Remove explicit clocksource setup and let it be done by OF framework by defining CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() for various timers - This allows multiple clocksources to be potentially registered simultaneouly: previously we could only do one - as all of them had same arc_counter_setup() routine for registration - Setup routines also ensure that the underlying timer actually exists. - Remove some of the panic() calls if underlying timer is NOT detected as fallback clocksource might still be available 1. If GRFC doesn't exist, jiffies clocksource gets registered anyways 2. if RTC doesn't exist, TIMER1 can take over (as it is always present) Cc: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARCv2: ioremap: Support dynamic peripheral address space

2016-03-19T09:04:10Z

The peripheral address space is architectural address window which is uncached and typically used to wire up peripherals. For ARC700 cores (ARCompact ISA based) this was fixed to 1GB region 0xC000_0000 - 0xFFFF_FFFF. For ARCv2 based HS38 cores the start address is flexible and can be 0xC, 0xD, 0xE, 0xF 000_000 by programming AUX_NON_VOLATILE_LIMIT reg (typically done in bootloader) Further in cas of PAE, the physical address can extend beyond 4GB so need to confine this check, otherwise all pages beyond 4GB will be treated as uncached Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

arc: use of_platform_default_populate() to populate default bus

2016-03-17T12:15:15Z

Use helper of_platform_default_populate() in linux/of_platform when possible, instead of calling of_platform_populate() with the default match table. Signed-off-by: Kefeng Wang Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta
