2008-01-26ARM kprobes: don't let a single-stepped stmdb corrupt the exception stackNicolas Pitre
If kprobes installs a breakpoint on a "stmdb sp!, {...}" instruction, and then single-step it by simulation from the exception context, it will corrupt the saved regs on the stack from the previous context. To avoid this, let's add an optional parameter to the svc_entry macro allowing for a hole to be created on the stack before saving the interrupted context, and use it in the undef_svc handler when kprobes is enabled.

This patch enables the use of the Advanced SIMD (NEON) extension on ARMv7. The NEON technology is a 64/128-bit hybrid SIMD architecture for accelerating the performance of multimedia and signal processing applications. The extension shares the registers with the VFP unit and enabling/disabling and saving/restoring follow the same rules. In addition, there are instructions that do not have the appropriate CP number encoded, the checks being made in the call_fpe function.

2007-11-26[ARM] 4659/1: remove possibilities for spurious false negative with ↵Nicolas Pitre
__kuser_cmpxchg The ARM __kuser_cmpxchg routine is meant to implement an atomic cmpxchg in user space. It however can produce spurious false negative if a processor exception occurs in the middle of the operation. Normally this is not a problem since cmpxchg is typically called in a loop until it succeeds to implement an atomic increment for example. Some use cases which don't involve a loop require that the operation be 100% reliable though. This patch changes the implementation so to reattempt the operation after an exception has occurred in the critical section rather than abort it. Here's a simple program to test the fix (don't use CONFIG_NO_HZ in your kernel as this depends on a sufficiently high interrupt rate): #include <stdio.h> typedef int (__kernel_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, int *ptr); #define __kernel_cmpxchg (*(__kernel_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0) int main() { int i, x = 0; for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) { int v = x; if (__kernel_cmpxchg(v, v+1, &x)) printf("failed at %d: %d vs %d\n", i, v, x); } printf("done with %d vs %d\n", i, x); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-02-17[ARM] 4185/2: entry: introduce get_irqnr_preamble and arch_ret_to_userDan Williams
get_irqnr_preamble allows machines to take some action before entering the get_irqnr_and_base loop. On iop we enable cp6 access. arch_ret_to_user is added to the userspace return path to allow individual architectures to take actions, like disabling coprocessor access, before the final return to userspace. Per Nicolas Pitre's note, there is no need to cp_wait on the return to user as the latency to return is sufficient.

2007-02-06[ARM] Move processor_modes[] to .../process.cRussell King
bad_mode() currently prints the mode which caused the exception, and then causes an oops dump to be printed which again displays this information (since the CPSR in the struct pt_regs is correct.) This leads to processor_modes[] being shared between traps.c and process.c with a local declaration of it. We can clean this up by moving processor_modes[] to process.c and removing the duplication, resulting in processor_modes[] becoming static. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-01-06[ARM] Fix kernel-mode undefined instruction abortsRussell King
If the kernel attempts to execute a CP1 or CP2 instruction and it aborts, and a FP emulator is not loaded, we try to return as if to a user context, instead of the proper kernel context. Since the fault came from kernel mode, we must use the kernel return paths. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-12-03[ARM] 3881/4: xscale: clean up cp0/cp1 handlingLennert Buytenhek
XScale cores either have a DSP coprocessor (which contains a single 40 bit accumulator register), or an iWMMXt coprocessor (which contains eight 64 bit registers.) Because of the small amount of state in the DSP coprocessor, access to the DSP coprocessor (CP0) is always enabled, and DSP context switching is done unconditionally on every task switch. Access to the iWMMXt coprocessor (CP0/CP1) is enabled only when an iWMMXt instruction is first issued, and iWMMXt context switching is done lazily. CONFIG_IWMMXT is supposed to mean 'the cpu we will be running on will have iWMMXt support', but boards are supposed to select this config symbol by hand, and at least one pxa27x board doesn't get this right, so on that board, proc-xscale.S will incorrectly assume that we have a DSP coprocessor, enable CP0 on boot, and we will then only save the first iWMMXt register (wR0) on context switches, which is Bad. This patch redefines CONFIG_IWMMXT as 'the cpu we will be running on might have iWMMXt support, and we will enable iWMMXt context switching if it does.' This means that with this patch, running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=n kernel on an iWMMXt-capable CPU will no longer potentially corrupt iWMMXt state over context switches, and running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=y kernel on a non-iWMMXt capable CPU will still do DSP context save/restore. These changes should make iWMMXt work on PXA3xx, and as a side effect, enable proper acc0 save/restore on non-iWMMXt capable xsc3 cores such as IOP13xx and IXP23xx (which will not have CONFIG_CPU_XSCALE defined), as well as setting and using HWCAP_IWMMXT properly.

2006-06-22[ARM] Add thread_notify infrastructureRussell King
Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

2006-02-08[ARM] 3309/1: disable the pre-ARMv5 NPTL kernel helper in the non MMU caseNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a kernel address. If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag. This clearing of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE. However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case. Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the kernel. Let's disable it in the non MMU case for now. Using NPTL on non MMU targets needs to be worked out anyway. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

exception Patch from Nicolas Pitre The ARM EABI says that the stack pointer has to be 64-bit aligned for reasons already mentioned in patch #3101 when calling C functions. We therefore must verify and adjust sp accordingly when taking an exception from kernel mode since sp might not necessarily be 64-bit aligned if the exception occurs in the middle of a kernel function. If the exception occurs while in user mode then no sp fixup is needed as long as sizeof(struct pt_regs) as well as any additional syscall data stack space remain multiples of 8.

2005-04-29[PATCH] ARM: 2651/3: kernel helpers for NPTL supportNicolas Pitre
Patch from Nicolas Pitre This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM. In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation nor special system call. This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty. The problematic and performance critical operations are performed through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space at a fixed address in kernel memory. Those fixed entry points are within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that location anyway. This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments. And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant overhead to such minimalistic operations. The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number. This is done for two reasons: 1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the NPTL work is still progressing). 2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is present or not.

2005-04-26[PATCH] ARM: make entry*.S includes more logicalRussell King
Move common includes to entry-header, and file specific includes to the relevant file. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-04-26[PATCH] ARM: Remove SVC_MODE definitionRussell King
SVC_MODE reflects the MODE_SVC definition in asm/ptrace.h. Use the asm/ptrace.h definition instead, and remove SVC_MODE. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
2005-04-26[PATCH] ARM: Remove argument for disable_irq/enable_irqRussell King
Since we do not require a register for these operations, we can remove this unnecessary argument. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
