# 300694 25-May-2016 ian

Include machine/acle-compat.h in cdefs.h on arm if the compiler doesn't
have ACLE support built in. The ACLE (ARM C Language Extensions) defines
a set of standardized symbols which indicate the architecture version and
features available. ACLE support is built in to modern compilers (both
clang and gcc), but absent from gcc prior to 4.4.

ARM (the company) provides the acle-compat.h header file to define the
right symbols for older versions of gcc. Basically, acle-compat.h does
for arm about the same thing cdefs.h does for freebsd: defines
standardized macros that work no matter which compiler you use. If ARM
hadn't provided this file we would have ended up with a big #ifdef __arm__
section in cdefs.h with our own compatibility shims.

Remove #include <machine/acle-compat.h> from the zillion other places (an
ever-growing list) that it appears. Since style(9) requires sys/types.h
or sys/param.h early in the include list, and both of those lead to
including cdefs.h, only a couple special cases still need to include
acle-compat.h directly.

sys/arm: Minor spelling fixes.

Only affects comments: no functional change.


# 295090 31-Jan-2016 mmel

ARM: Convert spaces to tabs, fix formatting.
Not a functional change.


# 295089 31-Jan-2016 mmel

ARM: Next round of cleanup in swtch-v*.S.
- remove now useless #if __ARM_ARCH conditional
- use macro for accessing CP15 registers
- remove unused PCPU_SIZE

Pointed by: kib


# 295066 30-Jan-2016 mmel

ARM: Split swtch.S into common, ARMv4 and ARMv6 parts. Cleanup them.


# 295036 29-Jan-2016 mmel

ARM: remove old pmap-v6 code. The new pmap-v6 is mature enough, and
dual implementation is showstopper for major cleanup.

This patch only removes old code from tree. Cleanups will follow asap.


# 284115 07-Jun-2015 andrew

Stop checking for ARM_TP_ADDRESS when we mean to check if building for
ARMv6 or later.


# 283366 24-May-2015 andrew

Remove trailing whitespace from sys/arm/arm


# 282780 11-May-2015 alc

Retire pmap_lazyfix(). This function only existed in the new armv6 pmap
because the i386 pmap on which the new armv6 pmap is based had it, and in
r281707 pmap_lazyfix() was removed from the i386 pmap.

Discussed with: kib

# 282762 11-May-2015 andrew

Use the ACLE spelling of _ARM_ARCH_6: "__ARM_ARCH >= 6"


# 280712 26-Mar-2015 ian

New pmap code for armv6. Disabled by default, option ARM_NEW_PMAP enables it.

This is pretty much a complete rewrite based on the existing i386 code. The
patches have been circulating for a couple years and have been looked at by
plenty of people, but I'm not putting anybody on the hook as having reviewed
this in any formal sense except myself.

After this has gotten wider testing from the user community, ARM_NEW_PMAP
will become the default and various dregs of the old pmap code will be
removed.

# 280402 23-Mar-2015 ian

Do not save/restore the TLS pointer on context switch for armv6. The
pointer cannot be changed directly by userland code on armv6 (it can be on
armv4), so there's no need to save/restore.

Submitted by: Michal Meloun


# 276190 24-Dec-2014 ian

Cleanup up ARM *frame structures...

- Eliminate unused irqframe
- Eliminate unused saframe
- Instead of splitting r4-sp storage between the stack and switchframe,
just put all the registers in switchframe and eliminate the un_32 struct.

# 262987 10-Mar-2014 ian

Arrange for arm fork_trampoline() to return to userland via the standard
swi_exit code in exception.S instead of having its own inline expansion
of the DO_AST and PULLFRAME macros. That means that now all references
to the PUSH/PULLFRAME and DO_AST macros are localized to exception.S,
so move the macros themselves into there and remove them from asmacros.h


# 262986 10-Mar-2014 ian

Change the way the asm GET_CURTHREAD_PTR() macro is defined so that code
using it doesn't have to have an "AST_LOCALS" macro somewhere in the file.


# 262948 09-Mar-2014 ian

Always call vfp_discard() on thread death, not just when the VFP is
enabled. In vfp_discard(), if the state in the VFP hardware belongs to
the thread which is dying, NULL out pcpu fpcurthread to indicate the
state currently in the hardware belongs to nobody.

# 262942 09-Mar-2014 ian

Remove all dregs of a per-thread undefined-exception-mode stack. This is
a leftover from the days when a low-level debugger had hooks in the
undefined exception vector and needed stack space to function. These days
it effectively isn't used because we switch immediately to the svc32 mode
stack on exception entry. For that, the single undef mode stack per core
that gets set up at init time works fine.

The stack wasn't necessary but it was harmful, because the space for it
was carved out of the normal per-thread svc32 stack, in effect cutting
that 8K stack in half. If svc32 mode used more than 4k of stack space it
wandered down into the undef mode stack, and then an undef exception would
overwrite a couple words on the stack while switching to svc32 mode,
corrupting the scv32 stack. Having another stack abut the bottom of the
svc32 stack also effectively mooted the guard page below the stack.

This work is based on analysis and patches submitted by Juergen Weiss.


# 262941 09-Mar-2014 ian

Rework the VFP code that handles demand-based save and restore of state.

The old code was full of complexity that would only matter if the
kernel itself used the VFP hardware. Now that's reduced to either killing
the userland process or panicking the kernel on an illegal VFP instruction.

This removes most of the complexity from the assembler code, reducing it
to just calling the save code if the outgoing thread used the VFP.

The routine that stores the VFP state now takes a flag that indicates
whether the hardware should be disabled after saving state. Right now it
always is, but this makes the code ready to be used by get/set_mcontext()
(doing so will be addressed in a future commit).

Remove the arm-specific pc_vfpcthread from struct pcpu and use the MI
field pc_fpcurthread instead.

Only use the CPU ID register if SMP is defined. Some non-MPCore armv6 cpu,
such as the one found in the RPi, don't have it, and just hang when we try
to access it.


# 261415 02-Feb-2014 cognet

Change the way pcpu and curthread are stored per-core:
the old way was to store pcpu in a register, and get curthread from pcpu,
which is not very atomic, and led to issues if the thread was migrated
to another core between the time we got the pcpu address and the time we
got curthread.
Instead, we now store curthread where pcpu used to be store, and we
calculate the pcpu address based on the cpu id.


# 259640 19-Dec-2013 ganbold

Add identification and necessary type checks for Krait CPU cores. Krait CPU is used in
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and Snapdragon 400/600/800 SoCs and has architectural
similarities to ARM Cortex-A15. As for development boards IFC6400 series embedded
boards from Inforce Computing uses Snapdragon S4 Pro/APQ8064.

# 254847 25-Aug-2013 andrew

Add the frame information to cpu_switch to allow us to unwind out of it,
for example when dumping threads in the kernel debugger.


# 254461 17-Aug-2013 andrew

Rename device vfp to option VFP and retire the ARM_VFP_SUPPORT option. This
simplifies enabling as previously both options were required to be enabled,
now we only need a single option.

While here enable VFP on the PandaBoard.


# 254454 17-Aug-2013 andrew

Remove the ARMFPE option. It is unsupported, and appears to be broken as
arm_fpe_core_changecontext is not a function.


# 250253 04-May-2013 ian

Insert STOP_UNWINDING directives in the _start (kernel entry point) and
fork_trampoline (thread entry point) assembler routines, because it's
not possible to unwind beyond those points.

Also insert STOP_UNWINDING in the exception_exit routine, to prevent an
unwind-loop at that point. This is just a stopgap until we get around
to instrumenting all assembler functions with proper unwind metadata.


# 248361 16-Mar-2013 andrew

Add an END macro to ARM. This is mostly used to tell gas where the bounds
of the functions are when creating the EABI unwind tables.


# 247864 06-Mar-2013 andrew

# 175982 05-Feb-2008 raj

Improve ARM_TP_ADDRESS and RAS area.

De-hardcode usage of ARM_TP_ADDRESS and RAS local storage, and move this
special purpose page to a more convenient place i.e. after the vectors high
page, more towards the end of address space. Previous location (0xe000_0000)
caused grief if KVA was to go beyond the default limit.

Note that ARM world rebuilding is required after this change since the
location of ARM_TP_ADDRESS is shared between kernel and userland.

# 142570 26-Feb-2005 cognet

Instead of using sysarch() to store-retrieve the tp, add a magic address,
ARM_TP_ADDRESS, where the tp will be stored. On CPUs that support it, a cache
line will be allocated and locked for this address, so that it will never go
to RAM. On CPUs that does not, a page is allocated for it (it will be a bit
slower, and is wrong for SMP, but should be fine for UP).
The tp is still stored in the mdthread struct, and at each context switch,
ARM_TP_ADDRESS gets updated.
