Two DSCR tests have a hack in them: /* * XXX: Force a context switch out so that DSCR * current value is copied into the thread struct * which is required for the child to inherit the * changed value. */ sleep(1); We should not be working around this in the testcase, it is a kernel bug. Fix it by copying the current DSCR to the child, instead of what we had in the thread struct at last context switch.

commit 152d523e ("powerpc: Create context switch helpers save_sprs() and restore_sprs()") moved the restore of SPRs after the call to _switch(). There is an issue with this approach - new tasks do not return through _switch(), they are set up by copy_thread() to directly return through ret_from_fork() or ret_from_kernel_thread(). This means restore_sprs() is not getting called for new tasks. Fix this by moving restore_sprs() before _switch().

Move the MSR modification into c. Removing it from the assembly function will allow us to avoid costly MSR writes by batching them up. Check the FP and VMX bits before calling the relevant giveup_*() function.

Move all our context switch SPR save and restore code into two helpers. We do a few optimisations: - Group all mfsprs and all mtsprs. In many cases an mtspr sets a scoreboarding bit that an mfspr waits on, so the current practise of mfspr A; mtspr A; mfpsr B; mtspr B is the worst scheduling we can do. - SPR writes are slow, so check that the value is changing before writing it.

Currently, if HV KVM is configured but PR KVM isn't, we don't include a test to see whether we were interrupted in KVM guest context for the set of interrupts which get delivered directly to the guest by hardware if they occur in the guest. This includes things like program interrupts. However, the recent bug where userspace could set the MSR for a VCPU to have an illegal value in the TS field, and thus cause a TM Bad Thing type of program interrupt on the hrfid that enters the guest, showed that we can never be completely sure that these interrupts can never occur in the guest entry/exit code. If one of these interrupts does happen and we have HV KVM configured but not PR KVM, then we end up trying to run the handler in the host with the MMU set to the guest MMU context, which generally ends badly. Thus, for robustness it is better to have the test in every interrupt vector, so that if some way is found to trigger some interrupt in the guest entry/exit path, we can handle it without immediately crashing the host. This means that the distinction between KVMTEST and KVMTEST_PR goes away. Thus we delete KVMTEST_PR and associated macros and use KVMTEST everywhere that we previously used either KVMTEST_PR or KVMTEST. It also means that SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 becomes the same as SOFTEN_TEST_PR, so we deleted SOFTEN_TEST_HV_201 and use SOFTEN_TEST_PR instead.

It is common practice with powerpc to use 'rN' to refer to register 'N'. However when using the pt_regs_offset table we have to use 'gprN'. So add aliases such that both 'rN' and 'gprN' can be used. For example, we can currently do: $ su - $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %gpr3:s32 +0(%gpr4):string %gpr5:s32 %gpr6:s32 %gpr7:s32" > kprobe_events $ echo 1 > events/probe/sys_fchownat/enable $ touch /tmp/foo $ chown root /tmp/foo $ echo 0 > events/enable $ cat trace chown-2925 [014] d... 76.160657: sys_fchownat: (SyS_fchownat+0x8/0x1a0) arg1=-100 arg2="/tmp/foo" arg3=0 arg4=-1 arg5=0 Instead we'd like to be able to use: $ echo "p:probe/sys_fchownat sys_fchownat %r3:s32 +0(%r4):string %r5:s32 %r6:s32 %r7:s32" > kprobe_events Signed-off-by: NRashmica Gupta <rashmicy@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls. We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls. __NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is. So as NR_syscalls must be defined and __NR_syscalls does not, replace __NR_syscalls with NR_syscalls.

Use an AS=1 trampoline TLB entry to allow all normal TLB1 entries to be loaded at once. This avoids the need to keep the translation that code is executing from in the same TLB entry in the final TLB configuration as during early boot, which in turn is helpful for relocatable kernels (e.g. kdump) where the kernel is not running from what would be the first TLB entry. On e6500, we limit map_mem_in_cams() to the primary hwthread of a core (the boot cpu is always considered primary, as a kdump kernel can be entered on any cpu). Each TLB only needs to be set up once, and when we do, we don't want another thread to be running when we create a temporary trampoline TLB1 entry.
