ARC: hide unused function unw_hdr_alloc

2019-07-21T07:04:41+00:00

commit fd5de2721ea7d16e2b16c4049ac49f229551b290 upstream.

As kernelci.org reports, this function is not used in
vdk_hs38_defconfig:

arch/arc/kernel/unwind.c:188:14: warning: 'unw_hdr_alloc' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

ARC: handle gcc generated __builtin_trap for older compiler

2019-07-10T07:54:42+00:00

commit af1be2e21203867cb958aaceed5366e2e24b88e8 upstream.

ARC gcc prior to GNU 2018.03 release didn't have a target specific
__builtin_trap() implementation, generating default abort() call.

Implement the abort() call - emulating what newer gcc does for the same,
as suggested by Arnd.

ARC: u-boot args: check that magic number is correct

2019-04-20T07:14:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit edb64bca50cd736c6894cc6081d5263c007ce005 ]

In case of devboards we really often disable bootloader and load
Linux image in memory via JTAG. Even if kernel tries to verify
uboot_tag and uboot_arg there is sill a chance that we treat some
garbage in registers as valid u-boot arguments in JTAG case.
E.g. it is enough to have '1' in r0 to treat any value in r2 as
a boot command line.

So check that magic number passed from u-boot is correct and drop
u-boot arguments otherwise. That helps to reduce the possibility
of using garbage as u-boot arguments in JTAG case.

We can safely check U-boot magic value (0x0) in linux passed via
r1 register as U-boot pass it from the beginning. So there is no
backward-compatibility issues.

ARCv2: support manual regfile save on interrupts

2019-03-23T13:35:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit e494239a007e601448110ac304fe055951f9de3b ]

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by
micro-ops for auto-saving regfile on taken interrupt. The workaround is
to inhibit autosave.

ARC: U-boot: check arguments paranoidly

2019-02-27T09:08:07+00:00

commit a66f2e57bd566240d8b3884eedf503928fbbe557 upstream.

Handle U-boot arguments paranoidly:
 * don't allow to pass unknown tag.
 * try to use external device tree blob only if corresponding tag
   (TAG_DTB) is set.
 * don't check uboot_tag if kernel build with no ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT.

NOTE:
If U-boot args are invalid we skip them and try to use embedded device
tree blob. We can't panic on invalid U-boot args as we really pass
invalid args due to bug in U-boot code.
This happens if we don't provide external DTB to U-boot and
don't set 'bootargs' U-boot environment variable (which is default
case at least for HSDK board) In that case we will pass
{r0 = 1 (bootargs in r2); r1 = 0; r2 = 0;} to linux which is invalid.

While I'm at it refactor U-boot arguments handling code.

ARCv2: Enable unaligned access in early ASM code

2019-02-27T09:08:07+00:00

commit 252f6e8eae909bc075a1b1e3b9efb095ae4c0b56 upstream.

It is currently done in arc_init_IRQ() which might be too late
considering gcc 7.3.1 onwards (GNU 2018.03) generates unaligned
memory accesses by default

ARC: clone syscall to setp r25 as thread pointer

2018-10-13T07:27:28+00:00

commit c58a584f05e35d1d4342923cd7aac07d9c3d3d16 upstream.

Per ARC TLS ABI, r25 is designated TP (thread pointer register).
However so far kernel didn't do any special treatment, like setting up
usermode r25, even for CLONE_SETTLS. We instead relied on libc runtime
to do this, in say clone libc wrapper [1]. This was deliberate to keep
kernel ABI agnostic (userspace could potentially change TP, specially
for different ARC ISA say ARCompact vs. ARCv2 with different spare
registers etc)

However userspace setting up r25, after clone syscall opens a race, if
child is not scheduled and gets a signal instead. It starts off in
userspace not in clone but in a signal handler and anything TP sepcific
there such as pthread_self() fails which showed up with uClibc
testsuite nptl/tst-kill6 [2]

Fix this by having kernel populate r25 to TP value. So this locks in
ABI, but it was not going to change anyways, and fwiw is same for both
ARCompact (arc700 core) and ARCvs (HS3x cores)

ARC: Improve cmpxchg syscall implementation

2018-08-24T11:09:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit e8708786d4fe21c043d38d760f768949a3d71185 ]

This is used in configs lacking hardware atomics to emulate atomic r-m-w
for user space, implemented by disabling preemption in kernel.

However there are issues in current implementation:

1. Process not terminated if invalid user pointer passed:
   i.e. __get_user() failed.

2. The reason for this patch was __put_user() failure not being handled
   either, specifically for the COW break scenario.
   The zero page is initially wired up and read from __get_user()
   succeeds. A subsequent write by __put_user() induces a
   Protection Violation, but COW can't finish as Linux page fault
   handler is disabled due to preempt disable.
   And what's worse is we silently return the stale value to user space.
   Fix this specific case by re-enabling preemption and explicitly
   fixing up the fault and retrying the whole sequence over.

ARC: Enable machine_desc->init_per_cpu for !CONFIG_SMP

2018-08-24T11:09:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2f24ef7413a4d91657ef04e77c27ce0b313e6c95 ]

machine_desc->init_per_cpu() hook is supposed to be per cpu
initialization and would seem to apply  equally to UP and/or SMP.
Infact the comment in header file seems to suggest it works for
UP too, which was not the case and this patch.

This enables !CONFIG_SMP build for platforms such as hsdk.

ARC: setup cpu possible mask according to possible-cpus dts property

[ Upstream commit a29a25275452c97fe35815f1eb9564f2a07a1965 ]

As we have option in u-boot to set CPU mask for running linux,
we want to pass information to kernel about CPU cores should
be brought up. So we patch kernel dtb in u-boot to set
possible-cpus property.

This also allows us to have correctly setuped MCIP debug mask.
