MIPS: Fix build error due to PTR used in more places

2022-01-27T08:04:19+00:00

Use PTR_WD instead of PTR to avoid clashes with other parts.

signal/mips: Update (_save|_restore)_fp_context to fail with -EFAULT

2021-10-25T20:55:35+00:00

When an instruction to save or restore a register from the stack fails
in _save_fp_context or _restore_fp_context return with -EFAULT.  This
change was made to r2300_fpu.S[1] but it looks like it got lost with
the introduction of EX2[2].  This is also what the other implementation
of _save_fp_context and _restore_fp_context in r4k_fpu.S does, and
what is needed for the callers to be able to handle the error.

Furthermore calling do_exit(SIGSEGV) from bad_stack is wrong because
it does not terminate the entire process it just terminates a single
thread.

As the changed code was the only caller of arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:bad_stack
remove the problematic and now unused helper function.

MIPS: syscall: Emit Loongson3 sync workarounds within asm

2019-10-07T16:43:05+00:00

Generate the sync instructions required to workaround Loongson3 LL/SC
errata within inline asm blocks, which feels a little safer than doing
it from C where strictly speaking the compiler would be well within its
rights to insert a memory access between the separate asm statements we
previously had, containing sync & ll instructions respectively.

MIPS: Wire up clone3 syscall

2019-10-02T21:06:41+00:00

Wire up the new clone3 syscall for MIPS, using save_static_function() to
generate a wrapper that saves registers $s0-$s7 prior to invoking the
generic sys_clone3 function just like we do for plain old clone.

Tested atop 64r6el_defconfig using o32, n32 & n64 builds of the simple
test program from:

mips/atomic: Fix loongson_llsc_mb() wreckage

2019-08-31T10:05:17+00:00

The comment describing the loongson_llsc_mb() reorder case doesn't
make any sense what so ever. Instruction re-ordering is not an SMP
artifact, but rather a CPU local phenomenon. Clarify the comment by
explaining that these issue cause a coherence fail.

For the branch speculation case; if futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
needs one at the bne branch target, then surely the normal
__cmpxch_asm() implementation does too. We cannot rely on the
barriers from cmpxchg() because cmpxchg_local() is implemented with
the same macro, and branch prediction and speculation are, too, CPU
local.

Remove 'type' argument from access_ok() function

2019-01-04T02:57:57+00:00

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.

It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access.  But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.

A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model.  And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.

This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.

There were a couple of notable cases:

 - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.

 - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
   values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
   really used it)

 - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout

but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.

I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something.  Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

MIPS: Avoid using .set mips0 to restore ISA

2018-11-09T18:23:19+00:00

We currently have 2 commonly used methods for switching ISA within
assembly code, then restoring the original ISA.

  1) Using a pair of .set push & .set pop directives. For example:

     .set	push
     .set	mips32r2
     
     .set	pop

  2) Using .set mips0 to restore the ISA originally specified on the
     command line. For example:

     .set	mips32r2
     
     .set	mips0

Unfortunately method 2 does not work with nanoMIPS toolchains, where the
assembler rejects the .set mips0 directive like so:

     Error: cannot change ISA from nanoMIPS to mips0

In preparation for supporting nanoMIPS builds, switch all instances of
method 2 in generic non-platform-specific code to use push & pop as in
method 1 instead. The .set push & .set pop is arguably cleaner anyway,
and if nothing else it's good to consistently use one method.

mm: add ksys_mmap_pgoff() helper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_mmap_pgoff()

2018-04-02T18:16:11+00:00

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

MIPS: Branch straight to ll in mips_atomic_set()

2017-06-28T10:22:40+00:00

Adjust the atomic loop in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips
system call to branch straight back to the linked load rather than
jumping via a different subsection (whose purpose remains a mystery to
me).
