MIPS: save/restore MSACSR register on context switch

2017-04-04T21:21:52+00:00

commit f7a46fa7bb0047d3e226702a0c4b786862fe6843 upstream.

I added a field for the MSACSR register in struct mips_fpu_struct, but
never actually made use of it... This is a clear bug. Save and restore
the MSACSR register along with the vector registers.

Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals"

2014-06-26T09:48:18+00:00

This reverts commit eec43a224cf1 "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around
signals" and the MSA parts of ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel: signal:
Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory" (the restore path of
which appears incorrect anyway...).

The reverted patch took care not to break compatibility with userland
users of struct sigcontext, but inadvertantly changed the offset of the
uc_sigmask field of struct ucontext. Thus Linux v3.15 breaks the
userland ABI. The MSA context will need to be saved via some other
opt-in mechanism, but for now revert the change to reduce the fallout.

This will have minimal impact upon use of MSA since the only supported
CPU which includes it (the P5600) is 32-bit and therefore requires that
the experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option be selected
before the kernel will set FR=1 for a task, a requirement for MSA use.
Thus the users of MSA are limited to known small groups of people & this
patch won't be breaking any previously working MSA-using userland
outside of experimental settings.

MIPS: smp-cps: rework core/VPE initialisation

2014-05-28T15:20:28+00:00

When hotplug and/or a powered down idle state are supported cases will
arise where a non-zero VPE must be brought online without VPE 0, and it
where multiple VPEs must be onlined simultaneously. This patch prepares
for that by:

  - Splitting struct boot_config into core & VPE boot config structures,
    allocated one per core or VPE respectively. This allows for multiple
    VPEs to be onlined simultaneously without clobbering each others
    configuration.

  - Indicating which VPEs should be online within a core at any given
    time using a bitmap. This allows multiple VPEs to be brought online
    simultaneously and also indicates to VPE 0 whether it should halt
    after starting any non-zero VPEs that should be online within the
    core. For example if all VPEs within a core are offlined via hotplug
    and the user onlines the second VPE within that core:

      1) The core will be powered up.

      2) VPE 0 will run from the BEV (ie. mips_cps_core_entry) to
         initialise the core.

      3) VPE 0 will start VPE 1 because its bit is set in the cores
         bitmap.

      4) VPE 0 will halt itself because its bit is clear in the cores
         bitmap.

  - Moving the core & VPE initialisation to assembly code which does not
    make any use of the stack. This is because if a non-zero VPE is to
    be brought online in a powered down core then when VPE 0 of that
    core runs it may not have a valid stack, and even if it did then
    it's messy to run through parts of generic kernel code on VPE 0
    before starting the correct VPE.

MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC support

2014-05-23T22:07:01+00:00

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell  is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.

Based on Markos Chandras  patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

MIPS: PM: Implement PM helper macros

2014-05-02T15:39:10+00:00

Implement assembler helper macros in asm/pm.h for platform code to use
for saving context across low power states - for example suspend to RAM
or powered down cpuidle states. Macros are provided for saving and
restoring the main CPU context used by C code and doing important
configuration which must be done very early during resume. Notably EVA
needs segmentation control registers to be restored before the stack or
dynamically allocated memory is accessed, so that state is saved in
global data.

MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals

2014-03-26T22:09:11+00:00

This patch extends sigcontext in order to hold the most significant 64
bits of each vector register in addition to the MSA control & status
register. The least significant 64 bits are already saved as the scalar
FP context. This makes things a little awkward since the least & most
significant 64 bits of each vector register are not contiguous in
memory. Thus the copy_u & insert instructions are used to transfer the
values of the most significant 64 bits via GP registers.

MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for context switch

2014-03-26T22:09:10+00:00

When saving or restoring scalar FP context we want to access the least
significant 64 bits of each FP register. When the FP registers are 64
bits wide that is trivially the start of the registers value in memory.
However when the FP registers are wider this equivalence will no longer
be true for big endian systems. Define a new set of offset macros for
the least significant 64 bits of each saved FP register within thread
context, and make use of them when saving and restoring scalar FP
context.

MIPS: Coherent Processing System SMP implementation

2014-03-26T22:00:12+00:00

This patch introduces a new SMP implementation for systems implementing
the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture. The kernel will make
use of the Coherence Manager, Cluster Power Controller & Global
Interrupt Controller in order to detect, bring up & make use of other
cores in the system. SMTC is not supported, so only a single TC per VPE
in the system is used. That is, this option enables an SMVP style setup
but across multiple cores.

MIPS: r4k,octeon,r2300: stack protector: change canary per task

2013-07-01T13:10:52+00:00

For non-SMP, uses the new random canary value that is stored in the
task struct whenever a new task is forked.  Based on ARM version in
df0698be14c6683606d5df2d83e3ae40f85ed0d9 and subject to the same
limitations: the variable GCC expects, __stack_chk_guard, is global,
so this will not work on SMP.

Quoting Nicolas Pitre : "One way to overcome this
GCC limitation would be to locate the __stack_chk_guard variable into
a memory page of its own for each CPU, and then use TLB locking to
have each CPU see its own page at the same virtual address for each of
them."
