commit 04e4f2b18c upstream.
The current code will load the stack size and protection markings, but
then only use the markings in the MMU code path. The NOMMU code path
always passes PROT_EXEC to the mmap() call. While this doesn't matter
to most people whilst the code is running, it will cause a pointless
icache flush when starting every FDPIC application. Typically this
icache flush will be of a region on the order of 128KB in size, or may
be the entire icache, depending on the facilities available on the CPU.
In the case where the arch default behaviour seems to be desired
(EXSTACK_DEFAULT), we probe VM_STACK_FLAGS for VM_EXEC to determine
whether we should be setting PROT_EXEC or not.
For arches that support an MPU (Memory Protection Unit - an MMU without
the virtual mapping capability), setting PROT_EXEC or not will make an
important difference.
It should be noted that this change also affects the executability of
the brk region, since ELF-FDPIC has that share with the stack. However,
this is probably irrelevant as NOMMU programs aren't likely to use the
brk region, preferring instead allocation via mmap().

The patch added a special get_unmapped_area for framebuffer which
was hooked to the file ops in drivers/video/fbmem.c.
This is needed since v2.6.29-rc1 where nommu vma management was
updated, and mmap of framebuffer caused kernel BUG panic. You may turn
on "Debug the global anon/private NOMMU mapping region tree" config to
such message.
As Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt said,
"To provide shareable character device support, a driver must provide
a file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() operation. The mmap() routines will
call this to get a proposed address for the mapping."
With this change, user space should call mmap for framebuffer using
shared map. Or it can try shared map first, then private map if
failed. This shared map usage is now consistent between mmu and nommu.
The sys_ file may not be a good place for this patch. But there is a
similar one for sparc. I tested a similar patch on nios2nommu, though
I don't have a blackfin board to test.

Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.
It also removes:
- verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
- file names (you are looking at the file)
- bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
- "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right
It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

The elf_fpregset_t type relied on an empty struct in the asm/user.h, but
the transition to asm-generic/user.h dropped that empty struct. Rather
than restore this useless struct, define the only user (elf_fpregset_t)
as an empty struct itself. This fixes building when ELF dump support is
enabled.

The handling of updating the [DI]MEM_CONTROL MMRs does not follow proper
sync procedures as laid out in the Blackfin programming manual. So rather
than audit/fix every call location, create helper functions that do the
right things in order to safely update these MMRs. Then convert all call
sites to use these new helper functions.
While we're fixing the code, drop the workaround for anomaly 05000125 as
that anomaly applies to old versions of silicon that we do not support.

Since the hardware only provides reporting for the last exception handled,
and the values are valid only when executing the exception handler, we
need to save the context for reporting at a later point. While we do this
for one exception, it doesn't work properly when handling a second one as
the original exception is clobbered by the double fault. So when double
fault debugging is enabled, create a dedicated shadow of these values and
save/restore out of there. Now the crash report properly displays the
first exception as well as the second one.

The protect_page() function was incorrectly setting up the hardware tables
based on possible access capabilities rather than the actual requested
values. This means we would grant more access to mmap-ed pages than we
should have. Once we fix this, we need to tweak the signal generated by
such accesses to aline ourselves with other ports. This allows the LTP
mmap0{5,6,7} cases to run properly.

Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).
This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled. This will catch errors
(like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
setup_arch().
To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.

The purpose of the EVT14 handler may depend on whether CONFIG_IPIPE is
enabled, albeit its implementation can be the same in both cases. When
the interrupt pipeline is enabled, EVT14 can be used to raise the core
priority level for the running code; when CONFIG_IPIPE is off, EVT14
can be used to lower this level before running softirq handlers.
Rename evt14_softirq to evt_evt14 to pick an identifier that fits
both, which allows to reuse the same vector setup code as well.

We handle many exceptions at EVT5 (hardware error level) so that we can
catch exceptions in our exception handling code. Today - if the global
interrupt enable bit (IPEND[4]) is set (interrupts disabled) our trap
handling code goes into a infinite loop, since we need interrupts to be
on to defer things to EVT5.
Normal kernel code should not trigger this for any reason as IPEND[4] gets
cleared early (when doing an interrupt context save) and the kernel stack
there should be sane (or something much worse is happening in the system).
But there have been a few times where this has happened, so this change
makes sure we dump a proper crash message even when things have gone south.

On Blackfin SMP, a per-cpu loops_per_jiffy is pointless since both cores
always run at the same CCLK. In addition, the current implementation has
flaws since the main consumer for loops_per_jiffy (asm/delay.h) uses the
global kernel loops_per_jiffy and not the per_cpu one. So punt all of the
per-cpu handling and go back to the global shared one.
