In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include: - Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the "nofpu" parameter. - MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings are no longer valid in MIPSr6. Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to the user stack and executed from there. This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other solutions is relatively simple. When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame. A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU code. This traps back to the kernel & leads to a call to do_dsemulret which frees the allocated frame & moves the user PC back to the instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch. In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an exception & leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code. Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would: - Only affect the users single process. - Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the delay slot, which is forbidden. - Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop would. If a thread requires a delay slot emulation & no frame is available to it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until a frame is freed by another thread in the process. Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct emuframe is also removed & the PC to continue from is instead stored in struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify & shrink struct emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page allocated for them. The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the user stack non-executable where that is possible.

In preparation for supporting variable ASID masks, retrieve ASID masks using functions in asm/cpu-info.h which accept struct cpuinfo_mips. This will allow those functions to determine the ASID mask based upon the CPU in a later patch.

activate_mm() and switch_mm() call get_new_mmu_context() which in turn can enable the HTW before the entryhi is changed with the new ASID. Since the latter will enable the HTW in local_flush_tlb_all(), then there is a small timing window where the HTW is running with the new ASID but with an old pgd since the TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP_PGD hasn't assigned a new one yet. In order to prevent that, we introduce a simple htw counter to avoid starting HTW accidentally due to nested htw_{start,stop}() sequences. Moreover, since various IPI calls can enforce TLB flushing operations on a different core, such an operation may interrupt another htw_{stop,start} in progress leading inconsistent updates of the htw_seq variable. In order to avoid that, we disable the interrupts whenever we update that variable.

Userland code may be built using an ABI which permits linking to objects that have more restrictive floating point requirements. For example, userland code may be built to target the O32 FPXX ABI. Such code may be linked with other FPXX code, or code built for either one of the more restrictive FP32 or FP64. When linking with more restrictive code, the overall requirement of the process becomes that of the more restrictive code. The kernel has no way to know in advance which mode the process will need to be executed in, and indeed it may need to change during execution. The dynamic loader is the only code which will know the overall required mode, and so it needs to have a means to instruct the kernel to switch the FP mode of the process. This patch introduces 2 new options to the prctl syscall which provide such a capability. The FP mode of the process is represented as a simple bitmask combining a number of mode bits mirroring those present in the hardware. Userland can either retrieve the current FP mode of the process: mode = prctl(PR_GET_FP_MODE); or modify the current FP mode of the process: err = prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, new_mode); Signed-off-by: NPaul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: Matthew Fortune <matthew.fortune@imgtec.com> Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8899/Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The Hardware Page Table Walker aims to speed up TLB refill exceptions by handling them in the hardware level instead of having a software TLB refill handler. However, a TLB refill exception can still be thrown in certain cases such as, synchronus exceptions, or address translation or memory errors during the HTW operation. As a result of which, HTW must not be considered a complete replacement for the TLB refill software handler, but rather a fast-path for it. For HTW to work, the PWBase register must contain the task's page global directory address so the HTW will kick in on TLB refill exceptions. Due to HTW being a separate engine embedded deep in the CPU pipeline, we need to restart the HTW everytime a PTE changes to avoid HTW fetching a old entry from the page tables. It's also necessary to restart the HTW on context switches to prevent it from fetching a page from the previous process. Finally, since HTW is using the entryhi register to write the translations to the TLB, it's necessary to stop the HTW whenever the entryhi changes (eg for tlb probe perations) and enable it back afterwards. == Performance == The following trivial test was used to measure the performance of the HTW. Using the same root filesystem, the following command was used to measure the number of tlb refill handler executions with and without (using 'nohtw' kernel parameter) HTW support. The kernel was modified to use a scratch register as a counter for the TLB refill exceptions. find /usr -type f -exec ls -lh {} \; HTW Enabled: TLB refill exceptions: 12306 HTW Disabled: TLB refill exceptions: 17805 Signed-off-by: NMarkos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/7336/Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Allow usage of scratch register for current pgd even when MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not configured. MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is set for 64r2 platforms to indicate availability of Xcontext for saving cpuid, thus freeing Context to be used for saving PGD. This option was also tied to using a scratch register for storing PGD. This commit will allow usage of scratch register to store the current pgd if one can be allocated for the platform, even when MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not set. The cpuid will be kept in the CP0 Context register in this case. The code to store the current pgd for the TLB miss handler is now generated in all cases. When scratch register is available, the PGD is also stored in the scratch register.

Currently, init_new_context() only for each online CPU, this may cause memory corruption when CPU hotplug and fork() happens at the same time. To avoid this, we make init_new_context() cover each possible CPU. Scenario: 1, CPU#1 is being offline; 2, On CPU#0, do_fork() call dup_mm() and copy a mm_struct to the child; 3, On CPU#0, dup_mm() call init_new_context(), since CPU#1 is offline and init_new_context() only covers the online CPUs, child has the same asid as its parent on CPU#1 (however, child's asid should be 0); 4, CPU#1 is being online; 5, Now, if both parent and child run on CPU#1, memory corruption (e.g. segfault, bus error, etc.) will occur.

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.

Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context into a usable pointer. By doing this we save a memory load and associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers. Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.
