2014-07-18ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+Russell King
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

2014-04-25ARM: 8036/1: Enable IRQs before attempting to read user space in __und_usrCatalin Marinas
The Undef abort handler in the kernel reads the undefined instruction from user space. If the page table was modified from another CPU, the user access could fail and do_page_fault() will be executed with interrupts disabled. This can potentially deadlock on ARM11MPCore or on Cortex-A15 with erratum 798181 workaround enabled (both implying IPI for TLB maintenance with page table lock held). This patch enables the IRQs in __und_usr before attempting to read the instruction from user space.

2013-07-08ARM: add support for kernel mode NEONArd Biesheuvel
In order to safely support the use of NEON instructions in kernel mode, some precautions need to be taken: - the userland context that may be present in the registers (even if the NEON/VFP is currently disabled) must be stored under the correct task (which may not be 'current' in the UP case), - to avoid having to keep track of additional vfpstates for the kernel side, disallow the use of NEON in interrupt context and run with preemption disabled, - after use, re-enable preemption and re-enable the lazy restore machinery by disabling the NEON/VFP unit. This patch adds the functions kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() which take care of the above. It also adds the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON to enable it.

Commit d3f79584a8b5 ("ARM: cleanup undefined instruction entry code") improved the register scheduling when handling undefined instructions. A side effect of this is that r5 is now used as a temporary, whilst the VFP probing code relies on r5 containing a non-zero value when VFP is not supported. This patch fixes the VFP detection code so that we don't rely on the contents of r5. Without this patch, Linux dies loudly on CPUs without VFP support.

Commit 0cc41e4a21d43 (arch: remove direct definitions of KERN_<LEVEL> uses) is broken - not enough thought was put into changing: .asciz "string" to .asciz "string1" "string2" The problem is that each string gets _separately_ NUL terminated, so the result is a string containing: "string1\0string2\0" rather than: "string1string2\0" With our new printk levels, this ends up as - eg, KERN_DEBUG "string": 0x01 0x00 0x07 0x00 "string" 0x00 which produces lots of \x01 in the kernel log.

2013-01-16ARM: 7627/1: Predicate preempt logic on PREEMP_COUNT not PREEMPT aloneStephen Boyd
Patrik Kluba reports that the preempt count becomes invalid due to the preempt_enable() call being unbalanced with a preempt_disable() call in the vfp assembly routines. This happens because preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() update preempt counts under PREEMPT_COUNT=y but the vfp assembly routines do so under PREEMPT=y. In a configuration where PREEMPT=n and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, PREEMPT_COUNT=y and so the preempt_enable() call in VFP_bounce() keeps subtracting from the preempt count until it goes negative. Fix this by always using PREEMPT_COUNT to decided when to update preempt counts in the ARM assembly code.

2012-07-31ARM: Fix undefined instruction exception handlingRussell King
While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling. This is because of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is supposed to point to. The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction. This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of Thumb2 though. Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy. We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit instruction.

vfp_pm_suspend should save the VFP state in suspend after any lazy context switch. If it only saves when the VFP is enabled, the state can get lost when, on a UP system: Thread 1 uses the VFP Context switch occurs to thread 2, VFP is disabled but the VFP context is not saved Thread 2 initiates suspend vfp_pm_suspend is called with the VFP disabled, and the unsaved VFP context of Thread 1 in the registers Modify vfp_pm_suspend to save the VFP context whenever vfp_current_hw_state is not NULL.

2012-05-17ARM: 7419/1: vfp: fix VFP flushing regression on sigreturn pathWill Deacon
Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP register corruption in userspace since the register values are not necessarily those restored from the sigframe. This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler. Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the handler is essentially a nop.

The vfp_enable function enables access to the VFP co-processor register space (cp10 and cp11) on the current CPU and must be called with preemption disabled. Unfortunately, the vfp_init late initcall does not disable preemption and can lead to an oops during boot if thread migration occurs at the wrong time and we end up attempting to access the FPSID on a CPU with VFP access disabled. This patch fixes the initcall to call vfp_enable from a non-preemptible context on each CPU and adds a BUG_ON(preemptible) to ensure that any similar problems are easily spotted in the future.

Although signal handlers run asynchronously with respect to the interrupted function, the handler itself expects to run as though it has been called like a normal function.

Furthermore, we disable VFP to ensure that we trap on any floating point operation performed by the signal handler and synchronise the hardware appropriately.

2011-07-09ARM: vfp: fix a hole in VFP thread migrationRussell King
Fix a hole in the VFP thread migration. Lets define two threads. Thread 1, we'll call 'interesting_thread' which is a thread which is running on CPU0, using VFP (so vfp_current_hw_state[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate) and gets migrated off to CPU1, where it continues execution of VFP instructions. Thread 2, we'll call 'new_cpu0_thread' which is the thread which takes over on CPU0. This has also been using VFP, and last used VFP on CPU0, but doesn't use it again. The following code will be executed twice: cpu = thread->cpu; /* * On SMP, if VFP is enabled, save the old state in * case the thread migrates to a different CPU.

So, vfp_current_hw_state[0] points at interesting_thread->vfpstate. The hardware state will be saved, along with the CPU number (0) that it was executing on. 'thread' will be 'new_cpu0_thread' with new_cpu0_thread->cpu = 0. Also, because it was executing on CPU0, new_cpu0_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, and so the thread migration check is not triggered. This means that vfp_current_hw_state[0] remains pointing at interesting_thread. The second execution will be on CPU1 to switch _to_ 'interesting_thread'. So, 'thread' will be 'interesting_thread' and interesting_thread->cpu now will be 1. The previous thread executing on CPU1 is not relevant to this so we shall ignore that. We get to the thread migration check. Here, we discover that interesting_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, yet interesting_thread->cpu is now 1, indicating thread migration. We set vfp_current_hw_state[1] to NULL. So, at this point vfp_current_hw_state[] contains the following: [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate [1] = NULL Our interesting thread now executes a VFP instruction, takes a fault which loads the state into the VFP hardware. Now, through the assembly we now have: [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate [1] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate CPU1 stops due to ptrace (and so saves its VFP state) using the thread switch code above), and CPU0 calls vfp_sync_hwstate(). if (vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &thread->vfpstate) { vfp_save_state(&thread->vfpstate, fpexc | FPEXC_EN); BANG, we corrupt interesting_thread's VFP state by overwriting the more up-to-date state saved by CPU1 with the old VFP state from CPU0. Fix this by ensuring that we have sane semantics for the various state describing variables: 1. vfp_current_hw_state[] points to the current owner of the context information stored in each CPUs hardware, or NULL if that state information is invalid. 2. thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu always contains the most recent CPU number which the state was loaded into or NR_CPUS if no CPU owns the state. So, for a particular CPU to be a valid owner of the VFP state for a particular thread t, two things must be true: vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &t->vfpstate && t->vfpstate.hard.cpu == cpu. and that is valid from the moment a CPU loads the saved VFP context into the hardware. This gives clear and consistent semantics to interpreting these variables. This patch also fixes thread copying, ensuring that t->vfpstate.hard.cpu is invalidated, otherwise CPU0 may believe it was the last owner. The hole can happen thus: - thread1 runs on CPU2 using VFP, migrates to CPU3, exits and thread_info freed. - New thread allocated from a previously running thread on CPU2, reusing memory for thread1 and copying vfp.hard.cpu. At this point, the following are true: new_thread1->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 2 &new_thread1->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[2] Lastly, this also addresses thread flushing in a similar way to thread copying. Hole is: - thread runs on CPU0, using VFP, migrates to CPU1 but does not use VFP. - thread calls execve(), so thread flush happens, leaving vfp_current_hw_state[0] intact. This vfpstate is memset to 0 causing thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0. - thread migrates back to CPU0 before using VFP. At this point, the following are true: thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 0 &thread->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[0] Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2011-07-07ARM: vfp: add VFPv4 capability detection and populate elf_hwcapWill Deacon
The presence of VFPv4 cannot be detected simply by looking at the FPSID subarchitecture field, as a value >= 2 signifies the architecture as VFPv3 or later. This patch reads from MVFR1 to check whether or not the fused multiply accumulate instructions are supported. Since these are introduced with VFPv4, this tells us what we need to know.

2011-04-24ARM: Use struct syscore_ops instead of sysdevs for PM in common codeRafael J. Wysocki

It also is necessary for removing sysdevs from the kernel entirely in the future. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2010-11-30ARM: 6498/1: vfp: Correct data alignment for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNELDave Martin
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result, using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL). This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned, this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in some circumstances. In general, the following rules should be applied when using data word declaration directives inside code sections: * .quad and .double: .align 3 * .long, .word, .single, .float: .align (or .align 2) * .short: No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2 instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size. immediately after an instruction.
