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:

This header defines an exported interface (the register layout used in core dumps and the GP regset accessible with PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGSET), therefore belongs in uapi.

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:

Loongson-3 has some specific instructions (MMI/SIMD) in coprocessor 2. COP2 isn't independent because it share COP1 (FPU)'s registers. This patch enable the COP2 usage so user-space programs can use the MMI/SIMD instructions. When COP2 exception happens, we enable both COP1 (FPU) and COP2, only in this way the fp context can be saved and restored correctly. Signed-off-by:

Loongson-3B is a 8-cores processor. In general it looks like there are two Loongson-3A integrated in one chip: 8 cores are separated into two groups (two NUMA node), each node has its own local memory. Of course there are some differences between one Loongson-3B and two Loongson-3A. E.g., the base addresses of IPI registers of each node are not the same; Loongson-3A use ChipConfig register to enable/disable clock, but Loongson-3B use FreqControl register instead. There are two revision of Loongson-3B, the first revision is called as Loongson-3B1000, whose frequency is 1GHz and has a PRid 0x6306, the second revision is called as Loongson-3B1500, whose frequency is 1.5GHz and has a PRid 0x6307. Both revisions has a bug that clock cannot be disabled at runtime, but this will be fixed in future. Signed-off-by:

Multiple Loongson-3A chips can be interconnected with HT0-bus. This is a CC-NUMA system that every chip (node) has its own local memory and cache coherency is maintained by hardware. The 64-bit physical memory address format is as follows: 0x-0000-YZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ The high 16 bits should be 0, which means the real physical address supported by Loongson-3 is 48-bit. The "Y" bits is the base address of each node, which can be also considered as the node-id. The "Z" bits is the address offset within a node, which means every node has a 44 bits address space. Macros XPHYSADDR and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS are modified unconditionally, because many other MIPS CPUs have also extended their address spaces. Signed-off-by:

We check that the struct vm_area_struct pointer vma is NULL and then dereference it a few lines below. The intent was to make sure vma is not NULL but this is not necessary since the bug pre-dates GIT history and seem to never have caused a problem. The tlb-4k and tlb-8k versions of local_flush_tlb_page() don't bother checking if vma is NULL, also vma is dereferenced before being passed to local_flush_tlb_page(), thus it is safe to remove this NULL check.

When determining the VPE ID of a CPU, make use of the cpu_vpe_id macro which will return 0 in a non-MT kernel build. Most code is already doing so but a couple of places weren't. Fixing this prevents a build failure for non-MT kernels where struct cpuinfo_mips does not contain the vpe_id field: arch/mips/kernel/pm-cps.c: In function 'cps_pm_enter_state': arch/mips/kernel/pm-cps.c:153:51: error: 'struct cpuinfo_mips' has no member named 'vpe_id' vpe_cfg = &core_cfg->vpe_config[current_cpu_data.vpe_id]; arch/mips/kernel/smp-cps.c: In function 'wait_for_sibling_halt': arch/mips/kernel/smp-cps.c:363:33: error: 'struct cpuinfo_mips' has no member named 'vpe_id' unsigned vpe_id = cpu_data[cpu].vpe_id; Signed-off-by: -

When used in a non-MT kernel, the cpu_vpe_id macro never made use of its cpuinfo argument. It doesn't actually need to since it is returning a constant 0. However not using the argument can lead to build failures if the compiler then notices that a variable used as part of the argument is unused. Prevent that problem by "using" the argument as far as the compiler is concerned, whilst still returning 0 as before. Signed-off-by:
