      powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs · 1bd79336
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
      paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
      simplified and improved:
      
      * 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
        path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
        bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
        the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
        which is not necessarily the current system call.
      
      * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
        path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
      
      * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
        _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
        by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
      
      * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
        to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
        was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
        weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
        away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
        alter the non-volatile registers.
      
      * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
        making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
        preemption and signal delivery.
      
      * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
        set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
        non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
      
      * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
        non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
        enable interrupts first.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid potential FP corruption with preempt and UP · 5388fb10
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Heikki Lindholm pointed out that there was a potential race with the
      lazy CPU state (FP, VR, EVR) stuff if preempt is enabled.  The race
      is that in the process of restoring FP state on sigreturn, the task
      gets preempted by a user task that wants to use the FPU.  It will take
      an FP unavailable exception, which will write the current FPU state
      to the thread_struct, overwriting the values which sigreturn has
      stored.  Note that this can only happen on UP since we don't implement
      lazy CPU state on SMP.
      
      The fix is to flush the lazy CPU state before updating the
      thread_struct.  To do this we re-use the flush_lazy_cpu_state()
      function from process.c.

      do_signal() on a 32-bit kernel but without having the caller-saved

      [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revamp · 401d1f02
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%,
      and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together.
      
      The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the
      syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling
      interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after
      disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags
      only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the
      ptrace case.
      
      The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info
      and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in
      the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer
      needs to clear syscall_noerror.
      
      The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow
      path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the
      need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(),
      sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers
      in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll()
      and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got
      distracted into this...
      
      Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit
      directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by
      introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be
      reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead
      of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs.
      
      It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on
      ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also
      appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :)

      powerpc: Fix clearing of the FPSCR when invoking a signal handler · cc657f53
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      As pointed out by Gary Byers, we were clearing the image of the FPSCR
      (floating point status and control register) in the thread_struct before
      copying it to the user stack when invoking a signal.  Thus the task
      would see its FPSCR getting cleared when it took a signal.
      
      While fixing it I noticed that our swapcontext system call was also
      clearing FPSCR.  It shouldn't, so I fixed that too.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel · a7f290da
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
      bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
      some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
      support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
      clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.
      
      Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
      returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
      add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
      have to change.
      
      I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
      ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
      64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
      tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

      David Gibson 提交于
      Having already merged the ppc and ppc64 versions of signal.c, this
      patch finishes the job by merging signal.h.  The two versions were
      almost identical already.  Notable changes:
      	- We use BITS_PER_LONG to correctly size sigset_t
      	- Remove some uneeded #includes and struct forward
      declarations.  This does mean adding an include to signal_32.c which
      relied on the indirect inclusion of sigcontext.h
      	- As the ppc64 version, the merged signal.h has prototypes for
      do_signal() and do_signal32().  Thus remove extra prototypes from
      ppc_ksyms.c which had them directly.
      
      Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).  Built

      [PATCH] powerpc: Kill ppcdebug · dcad47fc
      David Gibson 提交于
      The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
      First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
      hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
      accomplished with a command line option for that purpose.  The other
      was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
      would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
      
      This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Fix handling of fpscr on 64-bit · 25c8a78b
      David Gibson 提交于
      The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for
      ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y.  FP registers could be corrupted,
      leading to strange random application crashes.
      
      The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a
      64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double
      instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU.  However, only the low
      32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity
      when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit.  This
      patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit
      quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible.
      The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself
      is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value
      from the FPU.
      
      While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of
      cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S,
      arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S,
      arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S.  The
      new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct
      offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again
      to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use.
      
      Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S
      code, which it previously did not.
      
      Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc
      and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y).

      [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes. · 69be8f18
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
      not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
      program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
      several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
      confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
      still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
      NetBSD 2.0 *).
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
      sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
      handled is not blocked.
      
      The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
      the way most Unix boxes work.
      
      Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
      3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
      
      * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
      main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
      Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
      behaves differently here with #2.

      [PATCH] ppc64: fix 32-bit signal frame back link · 9747dd6f
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      When the kernel creates a signal frame on the user stack, it puts the
      old stack pointer value at the beginning so that the signal frame is
      linked into the chain of stack frames like any other frame.
      Unfortunately, for 32-bit processes we are writing the old stack
      pointer as a 64-bit value rather than a 32-bit value, and the process
      sees that as a null pointer, since it only looks at the first 32 bits,
      which are zero since ppc is bigendian and the stack pointer is below
      4GB.  This bug is in SLES9 and RHEL4 too, hence the ccs.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by making the signal code write the old stack
      pointer as a u32 instead of an unsigned long.
