When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper 64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant 64b. Signed-off-by:

The kernel depends upon MSA never being enabled when the FPU is not, a condition which is currently violated in a few places (whilst saving sigcontext, following mips_cpu_save). Catch all the problem cases by disabling MSA in lose_fpu, after saving context if necessary. Signed-off-by:

Switching the vector context implicitly saves & restores the state of the aliased scalar FP data registers, however the scalar FP control & status register is distinct from the MSA control & status register. In order to allow scalar FP to function correctly in programs using MSA, the scalar CSR needs to be saved & restored along with the MSA vector context. Signed-off-by:

The GICBIS macro could update the GIC registers incorrectly, depending on the data value passed in: * Bits were only OR'd into the register data, so register fields could not be cleared. * Bits were OR'd into the register data without masking the data to the correct field width, corrupting adjacent bits.

The Malta malta_ipi_irqdispatch() routine now checks only IPI interrupts when handling IPIs. It could previously call do_IRQ() for non-IPIs, and also call do_IRQ() with an invalid IRQ number if there were no pending GIC interrupts when gic_get_int() was called. Signed-off-by:

Move most of the functionality of gic_get_int() into a new function gic_get_int_mask() which takes a bitmask of interrupts in which the caller is interested, and returns the subset which are pending for the current CPU. This allows CP0 IRQ dispatch routines to check only the GIC interrupts which are routed to a particular CPU interrupt input. gic_get_int() is reimplemented using gic_get_int_mask() and is retained for use by any platforms for which gic_get_int() is sufficient.

A GIC interrupt which is declared as having a GIC_MAP_TO_NMI_MSK mapping causes the cpu parameter to gic_setup_intr() to be increased to 32, causing memory corruption when pcpu_masks[] is written to again later in the function. Signed-off-by:

irq-gic.c:gic_get_int() masks out interrupts from the pending set which aren’t in the pcpu_mask. Only interrupts marked with GIC_FLAG_IPI were set in pcpu_mask, meaning that peripheral interrupts also had to be marked as IPIs. Remove the use of GIC_FLAG_IPI and allow the flags member of struct gic_intr_map to be zero. Signed-off-by:

Detect if the core supports unique exception codes for the Read-Inhibit and Execute-Inhibit exceptions and set the option accordingly. The RI/XI exception support is detected by setting the 27th bit (IEC) of the PageGrain C0 register and reading back the value of that register to verify the bit is enabled. Signed-off-by:

Use the regular tlb_do_page_fault_0 (no write) handler to handle the RI and XI exceptions. Also skip the RI/XI validation check on TLB load handler since it's redundant when the CPU has unique RI/XI exceptions. Singed-off-by:

The Hardware Page Table Walker aims to speed up TLB refill exceptions by handling them in the hardware level instead of having a software TLB refill handler. However, a TLB refill exception can still be thrown in certain cases such as, synchronus exceptions, or address translation or memory errors during the HTW operation. As a result of which, HTW must not be considered a complete replacement for the TLB refill software handler, but rather a fast-path for it. For HTW to work, the PWBase register must contain the task's page global directory address so the HTW will kick in on TLB refill exceptions. Due to HTW being a separate engine embedded deep in the CPU pipeline, we need to restart the HTW everytime a PTE changes to avoid HTW fetching a old entry from the page tables. It's also necessary to restart the HTW on context switches to prevent it from fetching a page from the previous process. Finally, since HTW is using the entryhi register to write the translations to the TLB, it's necessary to stop the HTW whenever the entryhi changes (eg for tlb probe perations) and enable it back afterwards. == Performance == The following trivial test was used to measure the performance of the HTW. Using the same root filesystem, the following command was used to measure the number of tlb refill handler executions with and without (using 'nohtw' kernel parameter) HTW support. The kernel was modified to use a scratch register as a counter for the TLB refill exceptions. find /usr -type f -exec ls -lh {} \; HTW Enabled: TLB refill exceptions: 12306 HTW Disabled: TLB refill exceptions: 17805 Signed-off-by: -

Long integers which are 4 bytes in MIPS32 can't hold new CPU options anymore, so the type of the 'options' variable is changed to unsigned long long which allows 32 more cpu options to be defined for MIPS32 Also, re-arrange the 'options' struct member to avoid potential 4-byte alignment gap in the middle of the struct.

Add cases in perf_event_mipsxx.c for CPU_P5600. All the event numbers listed for proAptiv also apply to P5600, so we use mipsxxcore_event_map2 and mipsxxcore_cache_map2 too, but the P5600 has 8-bit event numbers so bit 8 (256) of the user ABI config is used for the parity bit (to specify odd/even counter events).

In mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event(), set event_id to base_id after the cpu type conditional code to allow that code to override the base_id to use more bits from the config and a higher bit for parity. This will allow cores with up to 512 events between all even/odd counters (an 8-bit event id) such as P5600 to use bit 8 for parity. Signed-off-by:

In uapi/asm/ptrace.h, a user version of pt_regs is defined wrapped in ifndef __KERNEL__. This structure definition does not match anything used by any kernel API, in particular it does not match the format used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. Therefore, replace the structure definition with one matching what is used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. The format used by these is the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit. Also, change the implementation of PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS to use this new structure definition. The structure is renamed to user_pt_regs when __KERNEL__ is defined to avoid conflicts with the kernel's own pt_regs. Signed-off-by: -

A comment in the O32/32-bit system call code is incorrect since commit 46e12c07 ("MIPS: O32 / 32-bit: Always copy 4 stack arguments."). Remove it. Signed-off-by:
-
Alex Smith authored
On 32-bit/O32, pt_regs has a padding area at the beginning into which the syscall arguments passed via the user stack are copied. 4 arguments totalling 16 bytes are copied to offset 16 bytes into this area, however the area is only 24 bytes long. This means the last 2 arguments overwrite pt_regs->regs[{0,1}]. If a syscall function returns an error, handle_sys stores the original syscall number in pt_regs->regs[0] for syscall restart. signal.c checks whether regs[0] is non-zero, if it is it will check whether the syscall return value is one of the ERESTART* codes to see if it must be restarted. Should a syscall be made that results in a non-zero value being copied off the user stack into regs[0], and then returns a positive (non-error) value that matches one of the ERESTART* error codes, this can be mistaken for requiring a syscall restart. While the possibility for this to occur has always existed, it is made much more likely to occur by commit 46e12c07 ("MIPS: O32 / 32-bit: Always copy 4 stack arguments."), since now every syscall will copy 4 arguments and overwrite regs[0], rather than just those with 7 or 8 arguments. Since that commit, booting Debian under a 32-bit MIPS kernel almost always results in a hang early in boot, due to a wait4 syscall returning a PID that matches one of the ERESTART* codes, which then causes an incorrect restart of the syscall. The problem is fixed by increasing the size of the padding area so that arguments copied off the stack will not overwrite pt_regs->regs[{0,1}].

Commit 6a9c001b ("MIPS: Switch ELF core dumper to use regsets.") switched the core dumper to use regsets, however the GP regset code simply makes a direct copy of the kernel's pt_regs, which does not match the original core dump register layout as defined in asm/reg.h. Furthermore, the definition of pt_regs can vary with certain Kconfig variables, therefore the GP regset can never be relied upon to return registers in the same layout. Therefore, this patch changes the GP regset to match the original core dump layout. The layout differs for 32- and 64-bit processes, so separate implementations of the get/set functions are added for the 32- and 64-bit regsets. Signed-off-by:

Get rid of the WANT_COMPAT_REG_H test and instead define both the 32- and 64-bit register offset definitions at the same time with MIPS{32,64}_ prefixes, then define the existing EF_* names to the correct definitions for the kernel's bitness.

Whenever ptrace attempts to retrieve the FPU implementation register it accesses it through current_cpu_data, which calls smp_processor_id(). Since the code may execute with preemption enabled, this can trigger a warning. Fix this by using boot_cpu_data to get the IR instead. Signed-off-by:
