[PATCH 0/4] ARM: patches for randconfig build errors

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2012-08-22 14:31:06

Hi Russell,

I've done some testing with the experimental multiplatform tree
and that uncovered a few preexisting bugs. Here are the ones
that should go through your tree. Please have a look to
see if the fixes make sense. I can put the patches in the patch
tracker or send you a pull request then.

[PATCH 4/4] ARM: kprobes: make more tests conditional

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2012-08-22 14:30:05

The mls instruction is not available in ARMv6K or below, so we
should make the test conditional on at least ARMv7. ldrex/strex
are available in ARMv6K or ARMv7, which we can test by checking
the CONFIG_CPU_32v6K symbol. Just testing for ARMv6 is not enough.

[PATCH 2/4] ARM: allow PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR only for ARMv7

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2012-08-22 14:30:12

When ARMv6 is enabled, we build the kernel with -march=armv6 or
-march=armv6k, which means the bfi instruction is not available.
Instead, it only works with -march=armv6t2 or -march=armv7-a.

Without this patch, building rand-enIHAOL results in:

[PATCH 3/4] ARM: export set_irq_flags/irq_set_chip_and_handler

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2012-08-22 14:30:19

The recently added Emma Mobile GPIO driver calls set_irq_flags
and irq_set_chip_and_handler for the interrupts it exports and
it can be built as a module, which currently fails with

ERROR: "set_irq_flags" [drivers/gpio/gpio-em.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "irq_set_chip_and_handler_name" [drivers/gpio/gpio-em.ko] undefined!

We either need to replace the call to set_irq_flags with something
else or export that function. This patch does the latter.

[PATCH 1/4] ARM: export read_current_timer

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2012-08-22 14:30:23

read_current_timer is used in the get_cycles() function when
ARM_ARCH_TIMER is set, and that function can be inlined into
driver modules, so we should export the function to avoid
errors like

ERROR: "read_current_timer" [drivers/video/udlfb.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "read_current_timer" [crypto/tcrypt.ko] undefined!

On the topic of the timer stuff: Shinya/Stephen, did you have a chance to
look at the registration stuff that was proposed? I'm happy to push it if
people will actually use it.

Yes I have tested it on our internal trees and it looks good. I plan to
send a patch to move MSM's timers over to it later this week so that we
have at least two users upstream.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: kprobes: make more tests conditional

The mls instruction is not available in ARMv6K or below, so we
should make the test conditional on at least ARMv7. ldrexd/strexd
are available in ARMv6K or ARMv7, which we can test by checking
the CONFIG_CPU_32v6K symbol. Just testing for ARMv6 is not enough.

And I think other A9 MPcore platforms, namely OMAP and EXYNOS, would
also be candidates, who tried to skip calibrate_delay() in the past
(OMAP) or currently provide non-smp_twd timers as localtimers (EXYNOS).
I may miss the latest status of those BSPs, but believe that we would
have more users (>2) in the future.
Awesome, I'll dust that series off at -rc3 then.
It works for me for weeks without troubles, looking forward to it.

FWIW, the selection of the optimised atomic64 implementation for ARM (which

so I think the additional __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ check is probably overkill.

Thanks for your indulgence :-) With the white-space damage fixed...

Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <redacted>

I test built this for v6, v6k and v7 before and after applying the patch
to verify if behaves as expected, so you can add my Tested-by if you
want.

I also tried a v4 platform (forgot we supported those) and there will be
a patch coming to fix that...

If you do feel so inclined for a v4 however ;-) you could also make the
mls part of the patch tidier by moving the added #endif to instead
terminate the preceding "#if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6", i.e.

this looks funny in patch form, but the resulting source file is more
consistent with other conditional tests.
Ok, here we go.

    ARM: kprobes: make more tests conditional
    
    The mls instruction is not available in ARMv6K or below, so we
    should make the test conditional on at least ARMv7. ldrexd/strexd
    are available in ARMv6K or ARMv7, which we can test by checking
    the CONFIG_CPU_32v6K symbol.
