ARC: [SMP] Enable icache coherency

2014-06-26T06:29:01Z

icaches are not snooped hence not cohrent in SMP setups which means kernel has to do cross core calls to ensure the same. The leaf routine __ic_line_inv_vaddr() now does cross core calls. __sync_icache_dcache() is affected due to this: * local dcache line flushed ahead of remote icache inv requests * can't disable interrupts anymore, since __ic_line_inv_vaddr()->on_each_cpu() can deadlock. | WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/smp.c:374 | smp_call_function_many+0x25a/0x2c4() | | init_kprobes+0x90/0xc8 | register_kprobe+0x1d6/0x510 | __sync_icache_dcache+0x28/0x80 | | DISABLE IRQ | | __ic_line_inv_vaddr | on_each_cpu | smp_call_function_many+0x25a/0x2c4 --> WARN | __ic_line_inv_vaddr_local | __dc_line_op * TODO: Needs to use mask of relevant CPUs to avoid broadcasting Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: [SMP] Fix IPI IRQ registration

2014-06-26T06:28:25Z

Handle it just like timer. Current request_percpu_irq() would fail on non-boot cpus and thus IRQ will remian unmasked on those cpus. [vgupta: fix changelong] Signed-off-by: Noam Camus Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: Implement ptrace(PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA)

ARC: remove checks for CONFIG_ARC_MMU_V4

2014-06-16T06:04:29Z

There's no Kconfig symbol ARC_MMU_V4 so the checks for CONFIG_ARC_MMU_V4 will always evaluate to false. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

arc: call find_vma with the mmap_sem held

2014-06-04T23:54:00Z

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (shared) in order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree.
