[PATCH v9 1/3] ARM: Add base support for ARMv7-M

Hi Uwe,

This looks like a good set of changes! Things are much cleaner now - 
just a question about the nop cache functions and a few other things 
below - some of them are just tiny little things...

Now that you've added the arch/arm/mm/cache-nop.S do we really need 
these defines? I just tried removing them and it still builds - is there 
a use-case for these I missed?

This is really the CPUID_BASE register, not the 'CPUID' register.

This is just a minor nit, but when reading these it is confusing not to 
have the IOMEM(...) lines aligned with the bitfields...

Did you have some reasons for doing it this way?

If not, I'd like to see them all lined up (and you can remove one 
tabstop too ;-)

I grep'd around the source tree looking for a precedent for this double 
underscore behaviour and couldn't find anything.

I presume that you're trying to denote that these are values 'served by' 
the mask above?

I think the double underscore looks weird - made me think it was a 
typo... I think you could safely stick with just one, or if you're 
really concerned about the extra distinction, use EXC_RET_STACK_VAL_MAIN 
etc.

Do we ever use these two? I can't find any places where we do in 
uwe/efm32. If not, I think perhaps this is a bit over-engineered... If 
you plan to extend the kernel port in the future to use the extra modes, 
by all means keep them in, but couldn't we just define 
EXC_RET_THREADMODE_PROCESSSTACK? (or even call it EXC_RET_THREAD_PROCESS?)

I think a comment would be nice, just so as not to scare people who 
expect us to need to copy the vector table somewhere.

/* V7M allows us to use the vector_table in the kernel image */

Or similar.

This looks weird and is confusing - it makes it seem like there is some 
relationship between SCS_SHCSR and SCS_VTOR, which there isn't at all - 
the only link is that we just loaded SCS_VTOR in to r0 and now we want 
V7M_SCS_SHCSR - right?

Why not do the "ldr r0, =V7M_SCS_SHCS"? Is it to save the one 
instruction? Or save an entry in the literal pool?

I don't think for a single instruction/word it is worth the confusing 
way of writing it...

But then, perhaps I'm missing something?

Whether this bit is RO or RW is implementation defined - sorry I didn't 
notice this with earlier responses...

As we always check the stack alignment on exception entry/return I think 
this isn't an issue - but does leave me asking why we bother with this 
if we always do the check?

The fact that we lack a stub function here will mean that compiling with 
module support won't work.

Do you expect modules to work?
If not, can we therefore make V7M and CONFIG_MODULES mutually exclusive.
If so, we should fix this.

I don't think M3 has SWP and EDSP...

based on V7M ARMARM:
(For SWP)
"For synchronization, ARMv7-M only supports the byte, halfword, and word 
versions of the load and store exclusive instructions. ARMv7-R also 
supports the doubleword versions of these instructions, and the legacy 
swap instructions"
(For EDSP)
None of the instructions listed as coming from the DSP extensions are 
listed in the M3 TRM (eg PKHTB, SXTAB)
