2017-02-07ARC: [arcompact] brown paper bag bug in unaligned access delay slot fixupVineet Gupta

2017-01-27ARC: [arcompact] handle unaligned access delay slot corner caseVineet Gupta
After emulating an unaligned access in delay slot of a branch, we pretend as the delay slot never happened - so return back to actual branch target (or next PC if branch was not taken). Curently we did this by handling STATUS32.DE, we also need to clear the BTA.T bit, which is disregarded when returning from original misaligned exception, but could cause weirdness if it took the interrupt return path (in case interrupt was acive too) One ARC700 customer ran into this when enabling unaligned access fixup for kernel mode accesses as well Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2015-08-20ARC: change some branchs to jumps to resolve linkage errorsYuriy Kolerov
When kernel's binary becomes large enough (32M and more) errors may occur during the final linkage stage. It happens because the build system uses short relocations for ARC by default. This problem may be easily resolved by passing -mlong-calls option to GCC to use long absolute jumps (j) instead of short relative branchs (b). But there are fragments of pure assembler code exist which use branchs in inappropriate places and cause a linkage error because of relocations overflow. First of these fragments is .fixup insertion in futex.h and unaligned.c. It inserts a code in the separate section (.fixup) with branch instruction. It leads to the linkage error when kernel becomes large. Second of these fragments is calling scheduler's functions (common kernel code) from entry.S of ARC's code. When kernel's binary becomes large it may lead to the linkage error because scheduler may occur far enough from ARC's code in the final binary.

2013-09-27ARC: Handle zero-overhead-loop in unaligned access handlerMischa Jonker
If a load or store is the last instruction in a zero-overhead-loop, and it's misaligned, the loop would execute only once. This fixes that problem. Signed-off-by: Mischa Jonker <mjonker@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

2013-06-26ARC: Remove explicit passing around of ECRVineet Gupta
With ECR now part of pt_regs * No need to propagate from lowest asm handlers as arg * No need to save it in tsk->thread.cause_code * Avoid bit chopping to access the bit-fields More code consolidation, cleanup Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-02-15ARC: Unaligned access emulationVineet Gupta
ARC700 doesn't natively support unaligned access, but can be emulated -Unaligned Access Exception -Disassembly at the Fault address to find the exact insn (long/short) Also per Arnd's comment, we runtime control it using 2 sysctl knobs: * SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_ALLOW: Runtime enable/disble * SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_NO_WARN: Warn on each emulation attempt Originally contributed by Tim Yao <tim.yao@amlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Tim Yao <tim.yao@amlogic.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
