* | | | sparc64: not any error from do_sigaltstack() should fail rt_sigreturn()Al Viro2012-11-181-3/+1
|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a signal handler is executed on altstack and another signal comes, we will end up with rt_sigreturn() on return from the second handler getting -EPERM from do_sigaltstack(). It's perfectly OK, since we are not asking to change the settings; in fact, they couldn't have been changed during the second handler execution exactly because we'd been on altstack all along. 64bit sigreturn on sparc treats any error from do_sigaltstack() as "SIGSEGV now"; we need to switch to the same semantics we are using on other architectures.

Contrary to that commit title, the static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off counter. This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core. In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to mark the strand as unavailable. The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr (condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register). SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of that in a subsequent commit. Yield strands also in cpu_relax(). We really should have done this a very long time ago.

* | sparc64: Make montmul/montsqr/mpmul usable in 32-bit threads.David S. Miller2012-10-2613-61/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Montgomery Multiply, Montgomery Square, and Multiple-Precision Multiply instructions work by loading a combination of the floating point and multiple register windows worth of integer registers with the inputs. These values are 64-bit. But for 32-bit userland processes we only save the low 32-bits of each integer register during a register spill. This is because the register window save area is in the user stack and has a fixed layout. Therefore, the only way to use these instruction in 32-bit mode is to perform the following sequence: 1) Load the top-32bits of a choosen integer register with a sentinel, say "-1". This will be in the outer-most register window. The idea is that we're trying to see if the outer-most register window gets spilled, and thus the 64-bit values were truncated. 2) Load all the inputs for the montmul/montsqr/mpmul instruction, down to the inner-most register window. 3) Execute the opcode. 4) Traverse back up to the outer-most register window. 5) Check the sentinel, if it's still "-1" store the results. Otherwise retry the entire sequence. This retry is extremely troublesome. If you're just unlucky and an interrupt or other trap happens, it'll push that outer-most window to the stack and clear the sentinel when we restore it. We could retry forever and never make forward progress if interrupts arrive at a fast enough rate (consider perf events as one example). So we have do limited retries and fallback to software which is extremely non-deterministic. Luckily it's very straightforward to provide a mechanism to let 32-bit applications use a 64-bit stack. Stacks in 64-bit mode are biased by 2047 bytes, which means that the lowest bit is set in the actual %sp register value. So if we see bit zero set in a 32-bit application's stack we treat it like a 64-bit stack. Runtime detection of such a facility is tricky, and cumbersome at best. For example, just trying to use a biased stack and seeing if it works is hard to recover from (the signal handler will need to use an alt stack, plus something along the lines of longjmp). Therefore, we add a system call to report a bitmask of arch specific features like this in a cheap and less hairy way. With help from Andy Polyakov. Signed-off-by: David S.

The contents got moved to the UAPI side of things along with new conditionals. (4) Deal with now-empty files: (a) Empty Kbuild files under include/ get removed. (b) Empty Kbuild files under arch/ get comments to hold them as they are likely to end up with generic-y or genhdr-y lines. Deleting them appears to work if we want to go that route. (c) Put a comment into uapi/asm-generic/kvm_para.h to prevent the patch program from deleting that, and made the arches with empty kvm_para.h uapi files use that instead of having their own files. (d) Put comments into four other empty uapi/ headers to prevent the patch program from deleting them. A question: Is this the right way to deal with the now-empty Kbuild files? The ones under include/ are unlikely to be used - even for generated files, I think - so getting rid of them is probably okay. Once all the bits are in, we can probably remove all the Kbuild files under include/ that aren't also under include/uapi/.

* | sparc64: Fix bit twiddling in sparc_pmu_enable_event().David S. Miller2012-10-161-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was a serious disconnect in the logic happening in sparc_pmu_disable_event() vs. sparc_pmu_enable_event(). Event disable is implemented by programming a NOP event into the PCR. However, event enable was not reversing this operation. Instead, it was setting the User/Priv/Hypervisor trace enable bits. That's not sparc_pmu_enable_event()'s job, that's what sparc_pmu_enable() and sparc_pmu_disable() do . The intent of sparc_pmu_enable_event() is clear, since it first clear out the event type encoding field. So fix this by OR'ing in the event encoding rather than the trace enable bits.

Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Our PMD entries are 32-bits each, so we use a special encoding. The lowest bit, PMD_ISHUGE, determines the interpretation. This is possible because sparc64's page tables are purely software entities so we can use whatever encoding scheme we want. We just have to make the TLB miss assembler page table walkers aware of the layout. set_pmd_at() works much like set_pte_at() but it has to operate in two page from a table of non-huge PTEs, so we have to queue up TLB flushes based upon what mappings are valid in the PTE table. In the second regime we are going from huge-page to non-huge-page, and in that case we need only queue up a single TLB flush to push out the huge page mapping. We still have 5 bits remaining in the huge PMD encoding so we can very likely support any new pieces of THP state tracking that might get added in the future. With lots of help from Johannes Weiner.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're going to be messing around with the PMD interpretation and layout for the sake of transparent huge pages, so we better clearly document what we're starting with.

This is in order to facilitate transparent huge page support, which works much better if our PMDs cover 4MB instead of 8MB. What we do is have a one-behind cache for PTE table allocations in the mm struct. This logic triggers only on allocations. For example, we don't try to keep track of free'd up page table blocks in the style that the s390 port does. There were only two slightly annoying aspects to this change: 1) Changing pgtable_t to be a "pte_t *". There's all of this special logic in the TLB free paths that needed adjustments, as did the PMD populate interfaces. 2) init_new_context() needs to zap the pointer, since the mm struct just gets copied from the parent on fork.
