      MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO · ebb5e78c
      Alex Smith 提交于
      Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
      VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
      the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
      implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().
      
      To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
      flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
      (genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
      genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
      kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
      containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
      compiled into the kernel.
      
      On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
      so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
      the mips_abi structure.
      
      A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
      image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
      function implementations which are added later.
      
      [markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
      - Add more comments
      - Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
      that needs it.
      - Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
      to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
      - Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking.
      - Simplify Makefile a little bit.
      - checkpatch fixes
      - Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6
      - Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64]

      MIPS: Preliminary VDSO · c52d0d30
      David Daney 提交于
      This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes.  Still
      missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information.  But it is enough to
      allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack.  Note that emulation
      of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.
      
      We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
      trampolines into it.  The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
      mapped into this space.
