MIPS: nofpu and nodsp only affect CPU0

2010-05-21T20:31:17+00:00

The "nofpu" and "nodsp" kernel command line options currently do not
affect CPUs that are brought online later in the boot process or
hotplugged at runtime.  It is desirable to apply the nofpu/nodsp options
to all CPUs in the system, so that surprising results are not seen when
a process migrates from one CPU to another.

[Ralf: Moved definitions of mips_fpu_disabled, fpu_disable,
mips_dsp_disabled and dsp_disable from setup.c to cpu-probe.c to allow
making mips_fpu_disabled and mips_dsp_disabled static.]

MIPS: Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr

2010-05-21T20:31:14+00:00

From: Julia Lawall 

Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr rather than set_cpus_allowed.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

//

- set_cpus_allowed(E1, cpumask_of_cpu(E2))

mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace

2010-05-21T02:04:26+00:00

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.

Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.

There appeared to be no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from
the original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special
case was added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you
generally desire to generally look at the back trace of the original
exception.

kgdb: core changes to support kdb

2010-05-21T02:04:21+00:00

These are the minimum changes to the kgdb core in order to enable an
API to connect a new front end (kdb) to the debug core.

This patch introduces the dbg_kdb_mode variable controls where the
user level I/O is routed.  It will be routed to the gdbstub (kgdb) or
to the kdb front end which is a simple shell available over the kgdboc
connection.

You can switch back and forth between kdb or the gdb stub mode of
operation dynamically.  From gdb stub mode you can blindly type
"$3#33", or from the kdb mode you can enter "kgdb" to switch to the
gdb stub.

The logic in the debug core depends on kdb to look for the typical gdb
connection sequences and return immediately with KGDB_PASS_EVENT if a
gdb serial command sequence is detected.  That should allow a
reasonably seamless transition between kdb -> gdb without leaving the
kernel exception state.  The two gdb serial queries that kdb is
responsible for detecting are the "?" and "qSupported" packets.

MIPS: N32: Use compat version for sys_ppoll.

2010-05-15T20:59:53+00:00

    
    The sys_ppoll() takes struct 'struct timespec'. This is different for the
    N32 and N64 ABIs. Use the compat version to do the proper conversions.

MIPS: Use CKSEG1ADDR for uncached handler

2010-04-30T19:52:48+00:00

"MIPS: Calculate proper ebase value for 64-bit kernels"
9af43ea080dd5d6c7b34f38261780e5dd43537bc (lmo) rsp.
f6be75d03c8870be91e6e2a195648ece04b6bb16 (kernel.org) broke some 64-bit
MIPS systems.

Before this we were using XKPHYS/cached as ebase and computed the uncached
xphsys/unchached address for that area. After that commit ebase became a
32-bit compat address and convert does not work anymore.  We now should use
CKSEG1 for this. CKSEG1ADDR does just that in 32-bit and 64-bit.

MIPS: die() does not call die notifier chain

2010-04-30T19:52:45+00:00

The MIPS implementation of die() forgets to call notify_die() and thus notifiers
registered via register_die_notifier() are not called.  This results in kgdb not
being activated on exceptions.

The only subtlety is that notify_die declares its regs argument w/o const, so
the const had to be removed from mips die() as well.

[Ralf: Fixed build error for SGI IP22 and IP28 platforms.]
