[PATCH v2] ARM: Fix preemption disable in iwmmxt_task_enable()
From: Sebastian Hesselbarth
Date: Sat Jul 12 2014 - 07:05:55 EST
commit 431a84b1a4f7d1a0085d5b91330c5053cc8e8b12
("ARM: 8034/1: Disable preemption in iwmmxt_task_enable()")
introduced macros {inc,dec}_preempt_count to iwmmxt_task_enable
to make it run with preemption disabled.
Unfortunately, other functions in iwmmxt.S also use concan_{save,dump,load}
sections located in iwmmxt_task_enable() to deal with iWMMXt coprocessor.
This causes an unbalanced preempt_count due to excessive dec_preempt_count
and destroyed return addresses in callers of concan_ labels due to a register
collision:

This patch fixes the issue by moving concan_{save,dump,load} into separate
code sections and make iwmmxt_task_enable() call them in the same way the
other functions use concan_ symbols. The test for valid ownership is moved
to concan_save and is safe for the other user of it, iwmmxt_task_disable().
The register collision is also resolved by moving concan_ symbols as
{inc,dec}_preempt_count are now local to iwmmxt_task_enable().

The offending commit was intoduced past v3.15-rc1 and the corresponding fix
should also be queued up for stable v3.15+
Changelog
v1->v2:
- return immediately from concan_ instead of branch to 3f, i.e. replace
'beq 3f' with 'moveq pc, lr' (Suggested by Catalin Marinas)
