ARCv2: don't assume core 0x54 has dual issue

2019-02-21T22:53:36+00:00

The first release of core4 (0x54) was dual issue only (HS4x). Newer releases allow hardware to be configured as single issue (HS3x) or dual issue. Prevent accessing a HS4x only aux register in HS3x, which otherwise leads to illegal instruction exceptions Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: enable uboot support unconditionally

2019-02-21T19:03:19+00:00

After reworking U-boot args handling code and adding paranoid arguments check we can eliminate CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT and enable uboot support unconditionally. For JTAG case we can assume that core registers will come up reset value of 0 or in worst case we rely on user passing '-on=clear_regs' to Metaware debugger.

ARC: U-boot: check arguments paranoidly

2019-02-21T19:03:18+00:00

Handle U-boot arguments paranoidly: * don't allow to pass unknown tag. * try to use external device tree blob only if corresponding tag (TAG_DTB) is set. * don't check uboot_tag if kernel build with no ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT. NOTE: If U-boot args are invalid we skip them and try to use embedded device tree blob. We can't panic on invalid U-boot args as we really pass invalid args due to bug in U-boot code. This happens if we don't provide external DTB to U-boot and don't set 'bootargs' U-boot environment variable (which is default case at least for HSDK board) In that case we will pass {r0 = 1 (bootargs in r2); r1 = 0; r2 = 0;} to linux which is invalid. While I'm at it refactor U-boot arguments handling code. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Corentin LABBE Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARCv2: support manual regfile save on interrupts

2019-02-21T19:03:18+00:00

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by micro-ops for auto-saving regfile on taken interrupt. The workaround is to inhibit autosave. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARCv2: Enable unaligned access in early ASM code

2019-02-21T19:03:15+00:00

It is currently done in arc_init_IRQ() which might be too late considering gcc 7.3.1 onwards (GNU 2018.03) generates unaligned memory accesses by default Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org #4.4+ Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta [vgupta: rewrote changelog]

ARC: show_regs: lockdep: re-enable preemption

2019-01-17T22:38:00+00:00

signal handling core calls show_regs() with preemption disabled which on ARC takes mmap_sem for mm/vma access, causing lockdep splat. | [ARCLinux]# ./segv-null-ptr | potentially unexpected fatal signal 11. | BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/fork.c:1011 | in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 70, name: segv-null-ptr | no locks held by segv-null-ptr/70. | CPU: 0 PID: 70 Comm: segv-null-ptr Not tainted 4.18.0+ #69 | | Stack Trace: | arc_unwind_core+0xcc/0x100 | ___might_sleep+0x17a/0x190 | mmput+0x16/0xb8 | show_regs+0x52/0x310 | get_signal+0x5ee/0x610 | do_signal+0x2c/0x218 | resume_user_mode_begin+0x90/0xd8 Workaround by re-enabling preemption temporarily. Note that the preemption disabling in core code around show_regs() was introduced by commit 3a9f84d354ce ("signals, debug: fix BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code in print_fatal_signal()") to silence a differnt lockdep seen on x86 bakc in 2009.

ARC: show_regs: lockdep: avoid page allocator...

2019-01-17T22:38:00+00:00

and use smaller/on-stack buffer instead The motivation for this change was lockdep splat like below. | potentially unexpected fatal signal 11. | BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ../mm/page_alloc.c:4317 | in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 57, name: segv | no locks held by segv/57. | Preemption disabled at: | [<8182f17e>] get_signal+0x4a6/0x7c4 | CPU: 0 PID: 57 Comm: segv Not tainted 4.17.0+ #23 | | Stack Trace: | arc_unwind_core.constprop.1+0xd0/0xf4 | __might_sleep+0x1f6/0x234 | __get_free_pages+0x174/0xca0 | show_regs+0x22/0x330 | get_signal+0x4ac/0x7c4 # print_fatal_signals() -> preempt_disable() | do_signal+0x30/0x224 | resume_user_mode_begin+0x90/0xd8 So signal handling core calls show_regs() with preemption disabled but an ensuing GFP_KERNEL page allocator call is flagged by lockdep. We could have switched to GFP_NOWAIT, but turns out that is not enough anways and eliding page allocator call leads to less code and instruction traces to sift thru when debugging pesky crashes. FWIW, this patch doesn't cure the lockdep splat (which next patch does). Reviewed-by: William Kucharski Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta
