2023-12-05MIPS: kernel: Clear FPU states when setting up kernel threadsThomas Bogendoerfer1-12/+13
io_uring sets up the io worker kernel thread via a syscall out of an user space prrocess. This process might have used FPU and since copy_thread() didn't clear FPU states for kernel threads a BUG() is triggered for using FPU inside kernel. Move code around to always clear FPU state for user and kernel threads.

2023-08-18nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPUDouglas Anderson1-2/+2
The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case. Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask. Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.

2023-03-08sched/idle: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturnJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+1
Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead() return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the middle of the idle loop. There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in arch_cpu_idle_dead()). Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute. This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific implementation might return. It also improves code generation for both caller and callee. Also fixes the following warning: vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction Reported-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org> Tested-by: Paul E.

2022-05-07fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handlingEric W. Biederman1-4/+3
Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER). This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs in kernel mode to use this functionality. The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly differently than user space tasks that start with a function. The functions that created tasks that start with a function have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of ".stack" and ".stack_size". These functions are fork_idle(), create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220506141512.516114-4-ebiederm@xmission.com Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions) overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/ gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel. Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel, which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2, which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2 in its THERAD_STATUS probably.

2020-06-09mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already includedMike Rapoport1-1/+0
Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2. The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported architectures. Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils down to, e.g. static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address) { return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1); } static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address) { return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address); } These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined. For architectures that really need a custom version there is always possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic. These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table accessors to the new header. This patch (of 12): The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h> in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.

Patch (b6c7a324df37b "MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handling of microMIPS function size.") introduces additional function size check for microMIPS by only checking insn between ip and ip + func_size. However, func_size in get_frame_info() is always 0 if KALLSYMS is not enabled. This causes get_frame_info() to return immediately without calculating correct frame_size, which in turn causes "Can't analyze schedule() prologue" warning messages at boot time. This patch removes func_size check, and let the frame_size check run up to 128 insns for both MIPS and microMIPS.

2018-09-28MIPS: VDSO: Always map near top of user memoryPaul Burton1-0/+25
When using the legacy mmap layout, for example triggered using ulimit -s unlimited, get_unmapped_area() fills memory from bottom to top starting from a fairly low address near TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE. This placement is suboptimal if the user application wishes to allocate large amounts of heap memory using the brk syscall. With the VDSO being located low in the user's virtual address space, the amount of space available for access using brk is limited much more than it was prior to the introduction of the VDSO.

Resolve this by adjusting STACK_TOP to reserve space for the VDSO & providing an address hint to get_unmapped_area() causing it to use this space even when using the legacy mmap layout. We reserve enough space for the VDSO, plus 1MB or 256MB for 32 bit & 64 bit systems respectively within which we randomize the VDSO base address. Previously this randomization was taken care of by the mmap base address randomization performed by arch_mmap_rnd(). The 1MB & 256MB sizes are somewhat arbitrary but chosen such that we have some randomization without taking up too much of the user's virtual address space, which is often in short supply for 32 bit systems. With this the VDSO is always mapped at a high address, leaving lots of space for statically linked programs to make use of brk: # ulimit -s unlimited; cat /proc/self/maps 00400000-004ec000 r-xp 00000000 08:00 71436 /usr/bin/coreutils 004fc000-004fd000 rwxp 000ec000 08:00 71436 /usr/bin/coreutils 004fd000-0050f000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 00c28000-00c49000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] ... 7f67c000-7f69d000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7f7fc000-7f7fd000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 7fcf1000-7fcf3000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 7fcf3000-7fcf4000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@mips.com> Reported-by: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> Fixes: ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO") Cc: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.4+

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton: "Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19. An overview of the general architecture changes: - Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for deleting crufty code!). - We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP & NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes & corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE & floating point mode state respectively, both for live debugging & core dumps. - We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision that the kernel build is targeting. - The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value saved by another CPU. - Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6 systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault. - We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot, and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() & ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed. - The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be running threads within the affected process switch mode. - Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache maintenance overhead when flushing the icache. - A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms. - Miscellaneous cleanups all over. And some platform-specific changes: - ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build failures for some drivers. - ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes & better gpio-keys support. - Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver. - The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree, allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address. - Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size. - Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata. - Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write buffering issue & support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU. - Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down. - Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus & NOR flash, its second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image. - Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of duplicate or unused code" * tag 'mips_4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux: (123 commits) MIPS: Remove remnants of UASM_ISA MIPS: netlogic: xlr: Remove erroneous check in nlm_fmn_send() MIPS: VDSO: Force link endianness MIPS: Always specify -EB or -EL when using clang MIPS: Use dins to simplify __write_64bit_c0_split() MIPS: Use read-write output operand in __write_64bit_c0_split() MIPS: Avoid using array as parameter to write_c0_kpgd() MIPS: vdso: Allow clang's --target flag in VDSO cflags MIPS: genvdso: Remove GOT checks MIPS: Remove obsolete MIPS checks for DST node "chosen@0" MIPS: generic: Remove input symbols from defconfig MIPS: Delete unused code in linux32.c MIPS: Remove unused sys_32_mmap2 MIPS: Remove nabi_no_regargs mips: dts: mscc: enable spi and NOR flash support on ocelot PCB123 mips: dts: mscc: Add spi on Ocelot MIPS: Loongson: Merge load addresses MIPS: Loongson: Set Loongson32 to MIPS32R1 MIPS: mscc: ocelot: add interrupt controller properties to GPIO controller MIPS: generic: Select MIPS_AUTO_PFN_OFFSET ...
2018-06-28MIPS: Use async IPIs for arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace()Paul Burton1-15/+30
The current MIPS implementation of arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is broken because it attempts to use synchronous IPIs despite the fact that it may be run with interrupts disabled. This means that when arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is invoked, for example by the RCU CPU stall watchdog, we may: - Deadlock due to use of synchronous IPIs with interrupts disabled, causing the CPU that's attempting to generate the backtrace output to hang itself. - Not succeed in generating the desired output from remote CPUs. - Produce warnings about this from smp_call_function_many(), for example: [42760.526910] INFO: rcu_sched detected stalls on CPUs/tasks: [42760.535755] 0-...!: (1 GPs behind) idle=ade/140000000000000/0 softirq=526944/526945 fqs=0 [42760.547874] 1-...!: (0 ticks this GP) idle=e4a/140000000000000/0 softirq=547885/547885 fqs=0 [42760.559869] (detected by 2, t=2162 jiffies, g=266689, c=266688, q=33) [42760.568927] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [42760.576146] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1216 at kernel/smp.c:416 smp_call_function_many+0x88/0x20c [42760.587839] Modules linked in: [42760.593152] CPU: 2 PID: 1216 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.15.4-00373-gee058bb4d0c2 #2 [42760.603767] Stack : 8e09bd20 8e09bd20 8e09bd20 fffffff0 00000007 00000006 00000000 8e09bca8 [42760.616937] 95b2b379 95b2b379 807a0080 00000007 81944518 0000018a 00000032 00000000 [42760.630095] 00000000 00000030 80000000 00000000 806eca74 00000009 8017e2b8 000001a0 [42760.643169] 00000000 00000002 00000000 8e09baa4 00000008 808b8008 86d69080 8e09bca0 [42760.656282] 8e09ad50 805e20aa 00000000 00000000 00000000 8017e2b8 00000009 801070ca [42760.669424] ...

This patch switches MIPS' arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() to use async IPIs & smp_call_function_single_async() in order to resolve this problem. We ensure use of the pre-allocated call_single_data_t structures is serialized by maintaining a cpumask indicating that they're busy, and refusing to attempt to send an IPI when a CPU's bit is set in this mask. This should only happen if a CPU hasn't responded to a previous backtrace IPI - ie. if it's hung - and we print a warning to the console in this case. I've marked this for stable branches as far back as v4.9, to which it applies cleanly. Strictly speaking the faulty MIPS implementation can be traced further back to commit 856839b76836 ("MIPS: Add arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function") in v3.19, but kernel versions v3.19 through v4.8 will require further work to backport due to the rework performed in commit 9a01c3ed5cdb ("nmi_backtrace: add more trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods").

2018-06-28MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()Paul Burton1-2/+2
The generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() function calls show_regs() when a struct pt_regs is available, and dump_stack() otherwise. If we were to make use of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() with MIPS' current implementation of show_regs() this would mean that we see only register data with no accompanying stack information, in contrast with our current implementation which calls dump_stack() regardless of whether register state is available. In preparation for making use of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() to implement arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(), have our implementation of show_regs() call dump_stack() and drop the explicit dump_stack() call in arch_dump_stack() which is invoked by arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(). This will allow the output we produce to remain the same after a later patch switches to using nmi_cpu_backtrace(). It may mean that we produce extra stack output in other uses of show_regs(), but this: 1) Seems harmless. 2) Is good for consistency between arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() and other users of show_regs(). 3) Matches the behaviour of the ARM & PowerPC architectures. Marked for stable back to v4.9 as a prerequisite of the following patch "MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()".

2018-06-24MIPS: Schedule on CPUs we need to lose FPU for a mode switchPaul Burton1-38/+42
Commit 6b8322576e9d ("MIPS: Force CPUs to lose FP context during mode switches") ensures that we react to PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl syscalls quickly by broadcasting an IPI in order to cause CPUs to lose FPU access when necessary. Whilst it achieves that, unfortunately it causes all sorts of strange race conditions because: 1) The IPI may arrive at a point where the FPU is in the process of being enabled, but that process is not yet complete leading to a state we aren't prepared to handle.

If this happens then the IPI will be serviced & we'll proceed to enable an FPU whilst the mode switch is in progress, leading to strange & inconsistent behaviour. Further to all of this is a separate but related problem: 4) There are various paths through which we may enable the FPU without the user having triggered a coprocessor 1 disabled exception. These paths are those in which we emulate instructions & then enable the FPU with the expectation that the user might execute an FP instruction shortly afterwards. However these paths have not previously checked whether an FP mode switch is underway for the task, and therefore could enable the FPU whilst such a mode switch is in progress leading to strange & inconsistent behaviour for user code. This patch fixes all of the above by taking a step back & re-examining our approach to FP mode switches. Up until now we have taken these basic steps: a) Prevent any threads that are part of the affected process from being able to obtain ownership of the FPU. b) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already have ownership of an FPU to lose it. c) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected process to reflect the new FP mode. d) Allow threads to obtain ownership of the FPU again. This approach is however more complex than necessary. All that we really require is that the mode switch has occurred for all threads that are part of the affected process before mips_set_process_fp_mode(), and thus the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl() syscall, returns. This doesn't require that we stop threads from owning or using an FPU whilst a mode switch occurs, only that we force them to relinquish it after the mode switch has occurred such that they next own an FPU with the correct mode configured. Our basic steps therefore simplify to: A) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected process to reflect the new FP mode. B) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already have ownership of an FPU to lose it. We implement B) by forcing each CPU which might be running a thread which is part of the affected process to schedule a no-op function, which causes the affected thread to lose its FPU ownership when it is descheduled. The end result is simpler FP mode switching with less overhead in the FPU enable path (ie. enable_restore_fp_context()) and fewer moving parts.

2018-06-14Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variablesLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler supported. That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support directly. HOWEVER. It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file, the sane stack protector configuration would look like CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC
