v5 cover Updated Cortex-M3 series

Hello,

now that 3.5 is about to come I invested the time to update the beginning of the Cortex-M3 support.

Over all I rebased to v3.5-rc5 and addressed the comments by Russell.

It would be great to get these patches into next early after the merge window for 3.6 closes to get them into 3.7. But I won't argue if they made it into 3.6 ;-)

For reference, v4 of this series can be found at

	http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/160510

Best regards
Uwe

PATCH v5 1/3 ARM: make cr_alignment read-only #ifndef CONFIG_CPU_CP15

This makes cr_alignment a constant 0 to break code that tries to modify the value as it's likely that it's built on wrong assumption when CONFIG_CPU_CP15 isn't defined. For code that is only reading the value 0 is more or less a fine value to report.

PATCH v5 2/3 Cortex-M3: Add base support for Cortex-M3

In reply to Uwe Kleine-König

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

This patch adds the base support for the Cortex-M3 processor (ARMv7-M architecture). It consists of the corresponding arch/arm/mm/ files and various #ifdef's around the kernel. Exception handling is implemented by a subsequent patch.

[ukleinek: squash in some changes originating from commit

b5717ba (Cortex-M3: Add support for the Microcontroller Prototyping System)

from the v2.6.33-arm1 patch stack, port to post 3.4, drop zImage support, drop reorganisation of pt_regs, assert CONFIG_V7M doesn't leak into installed headers and a few cosmetic changes]

---
Changes since v4, id:1333573807-23709-2-git-send-email-u.kleine-koenig at pengutronix.de
- simplify irq enable/disable ops as suggested by Russell
- don't leak kernel config symbols into userspace headers and add some
comments
- rebase on v3.5-rc5
Only nop_coherent_user_range needed adaption to
c5102f5 (ARM: 7408/1: cacheflush: return error to userspace when flushing syscall fails)

PATCH v5 3/3 Cortex-M3: Add support for exception handling

In reply to Uwe Kleine-König

This patch implements the exception handling for the ARMv7-M architecture (pretty different from the A or R profiles).

It bases on work done earlier by Catalin for 2.6.33 but was nearly completely rewritten to use a pt_regs layout compatible to the A profile.

v5 cover Updated Cortex-M3 series

In reply to Uwe Kleine-König

Hello,

Quoted 10 lines · Uwe Kleine-K?nig

Hello,

now that 3.5 is about to come I invested the time to update the beginning of the Cortex-M3 support.

Over all I rebased to v3.5-rc5 and addressed the comments by Russell.

It would be great to get these patches into next early after the merge window for 3.6 closes to get them into 3.7. But I won't argue if they made it into 3.6 ;-)

Now that v3.6-rc1 is out can these go into next for the next merge window?

Thanks
Uwe

Last time I looked at the code, patch 3/3 was adding some fairly noisy debug prints to various syscalls and pieces of signal handling. e.g.:

Can we drop these bits please?

Huh, I removed them from arch/arm/kernel/signal.c and arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c now and will resend in a moment. Thanks for catching that.
I saw them when testing on an arm11, but was sure they were introduced in a later patch on the stack.
