There are two separate flags controlling whether or not the MPIC is reset during initialization, which is completely unnecessary, and only one of them can be specified in the device tree. Also, most platforms in-tree right now do actually want to reset the MPIC during initialization anyways, which means lots of duplicate code passing the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag. Fix all of the callers which currently do not pass the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag to pass the MPIC_NO_RESET flag, then remove the MPIC_WANTS_RESET flag and make the code reset the MPIC by default.

The FreeScale PowerQUICC-III-compatible (mpc85xx/mpc86xx) MPICs do not correctly report the number of hardware interrupt sources, so software needs to override the detected value with "256". To avoid needing to write custom board-specific code to detect that scenario, allow it to be easily overridden in the device-tree.

The mpic->irq_count variable is only used as a software error-checking limit to determine whether or not an IRQ number is valid. In board code which does not manually specify an IRQ count to mpic_alloc(), i.e. 0, it is automatically detected from the number of ISUs and the ISU size. In practice, all hardware ends up with irq_count == num_sources, so all of the runtime checks on mpic->irq_count should just check the value of mpic->num_sources instead. When platform hardware does not correctly report the number of IRQs, which only happens on the MPC85xx/MPC86xx, the MPIC_BROKEN_FRR_NIRQS flag is used to override the detected value of num_sources with the manual irq_count parameter. Since there's no need to manually specify the number of IRQs except in this case, the extra flag can be eliminated and the test changed to "irq_count != 0".

The Freescale MPIC (and perhaps others in the future) is incapable of routing non-IPI interrupts to more than once CPU at a time. Currently all of the Freescale boards msut pass the MPIC_SINGLE_DEST_CPU flag to mpic_alloc(), but that information should really be present in the device-tree. Older board code can't rely on the device-tree having the property set, but newer platforms won't need it manually specified in the code.

The MPIC code checks for a "big-endian" property and sets the flag MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN if one is present, although prior to the "mpic->flags" fixup that would never have worked anways. Unfortunately, even now that it works properly, the Freescale mpic device-node (the "PowerQUICC-III"-compatible one) does not specify it, so all of the board ports need to manually pass it to mpic_alloc(). Document the flag and add it to the pq3 device tree. Existing code will still need to pass the MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN flag because their dtb may not have this property, but new platforms shouldn't need to do so.

The mpic_alloc() function takes a "flags" parameter and assigns it into the mpic->flags variable fairly early on, but several later pieces of code detect various device-tree properties and save them into the "mpic->flags" variable (EG: "big-endian" => MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN). Unfortunately, a number of codepaths (including several which test the flag MPIC_BIG_ENDIAN!) test "flags" instead of "mpic->flags", and get wrong answers as a result. Consolidate the device-tree flag tests early in mpic_alloc() and change all of the checks after "mpic->flags" is init'ed to use "mpic->flags".

This makes us recognize when we try to restore FPU state that matches what we already have in the FPU on this CPU, and avoids the restore entirely if so. To do this, we add two new data fields: - a percpu 'fpu_owner_task' variable that gets written any time we update the "has_fpu" field, and thus acts as a kind of back-pointer to the task that owns the CPU. The exception is when we save the FPU state as part of a context switch - if the save can keep the FPU state around, we leave the 'fpu_owner_task' variable pointing at the task whose FP state still remains on the CPU. - a per-thread 'last_cpu' field, that indicates which CPU that thread used its FPU on last. We update this on every context switch (writing an invalid CPU number if the last context switch didn't leave the FPU in a lazily usable state), so we know that *that* thread has done nothing else with the FPU since. These two fields together can be used when next switching back to the task to see if the CPU still matches: if 'fpu_owner_task' matches the task we are switching to, we know that no other task (or kernel FPU usage) touched the FPU on this CPU in the meantime, and if the current CPU number matches the 'last_cpu' field, we know that this thread did no other FP work on any other CPU, so the FPU state on the CPU must match what was saved on last context switch. In that case, we can avoid the 'f[x]rstor' entirely, and just clear the CR0.TS bit. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This inlines what is usually just a couple of instructions, but more importantly it also fixes the theoretical error case (can that FPU restore really ever fail? Maybe we should remove the checking).

This makes sure we clear the FPU usage counter for newly created tasks, just so that we start off in a known state (for example, don't try to preload the FPU state on the first task switch etc). It also fixes a thinko in when we increment the fpu_counter at task switch time, introduced by commit 34ddc81a ("i387: re-introduce FPU state preloading at context switch time"). We should increment the *new* task fpu_counter, not the old task, and only if we decide to use that state (whether lazily or preloaded). Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

After all the FPU state cleanups and finally finding the problem that caused all our FPU save/restore problems, this re-introduces the preloading of FPU state that was removed in commit b3b0870e ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time"). However, instead of simply reverting the removal, this reimplements preloading with several fixes, most notably - properly abstracted as a true FPU state switch, rather than as open-coded save and restore with various hacks. In particular, implementing it as a proper FPU state switch allows us to optimize the CR0.TS flag accesses: there is no reason to set the TS bit only to then almost immediately clear it again. CR0 accesses are quite slow and expensive, don't flip the bit back and forth for no good reason. - Make sure that the same model works for both x86-32 and x86-64, so that there are no gratuitous differences between the two due to the way they save and restore segment state differently due to architectural differences that really don't matter to the FPU state. - Avoid exposing the "preload" state to the context switch routines, and in particular allow the concept of lazy state restore: if nothing else has used the FPU in the meantime, and the process is still on the same CPU, we can avoid restoring state from memory entirely, just re-expose the state that is still in the FPU unit. That optimized lazy restore isn't actually implemented here, but the infrastructure is set up for it. Of course, older CPU's that use 'fnsave' to save the state cannot take advantage of this, since the state saving also trashes the state. In other words, there is now an actual _design_ to the FPU state saving, rather than just random historical baggage. Hopefully it's easier to follow as a result.

This moves the bit that indicates whether a thread has ownership of the FPU from the TS_USEDFPU bit in thread_info->status to a word of its own (called 'has_fpu') in task_struct->thread.has_fpu. This fixes two independent bugs at the same time: - changing 'thread_info->status' from the scheduler causes nasty problems for the other users of that variable, since it is defined to be thread-synchronous (that's what the "TS_" part of the naming was supposed to indicate). So perfectly valid code could (and did) do ti->status |= TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK; and the compiler was free to do that as separate load, or and store instructions. Which can cause problems with preemption, since a task switch could happen in between, and change the TS_USEDFPU bit. The change to TS_USEDFPU would be overwritten by the final store. In practice, this seldom happened, though, because the 'status' field was seldom used more than once, so gcc would generally tend to generate code that used a read-modify-write instruction and thus happened to avoid this problem - RMW instructions are naturally low fat and preemption-safe. - On x86-32, the current_thread_info() pointer would, during interrupts and softirqs, point to a *copy* of the real thread_info, because x86-32 uses %esp to calculate the thread_info address, and thus the separate irq (and softirq) stacks would cause these kinds of odd thread_info copy aliases. This is normally not a problem, since interrupts aren't supposed to look at thread information anyway (what thread is running at interrupt time really isn't very well-defined), but it confused the heck out of irq_fpu_usable() and the code that tried to squirrel away the FPU state. (It also caused untold confusion for us poor kernel developers). It also turns out that using 'task_struct' is actually much more natural for most of the call sites that care about the FPU state, since they tend to work with the task struct for other reasons anyway (ie scheduling). And the FPU data that we are going to save/restore is found there too. Thanks to Arjan Van De Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> for pointing us to the %esp issue.

The AMD K7/K8 CPUs don't save/restore FDP/FIP/FOP unless an exception is pending. In order to not leak FIP state from one process to another, we need to do a floating point load after the fxsave of the old process, and before the fxrstor of the new FPU state. That resets the state to the (uninteresting) kernel load, rather than some potentially sensitive user information. We used to do this directly after the FPU state save, but that is actually very inconvenient, since it (a) corrupts what is potentially perfectly good FPU state that we might want to lazy avoid restoring later and (b) on x86-64 it resulted in a very annoying ordering constraint, where "__unlazy_fpu()" in the task switch needs to be delayed until after the DS segment has been reloaded just to get the new DS value. Coupling it to the fxrstor instead of the fxsave automatically avoids both of these issues, and also ensures that we only do it when actually necessary (the FP state after a save may never actually get used). It's simply a much more natural place for the leaked state cleanup. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Yes, taking the trap to re-load the FPU/MMX state is expensive, but so is spending several days looking for a bug in the state save/restore code. And the preload code has some rather subtle interactions with both paravirtualization support and segment state restore, so it's not nearly as simple as it should be. Also, now that we no longer necessarily depend on a single bit (ie TS_USEDFPU) for keeping track of the state of the FPU, we migth be able to do better. If we are really switching between two processes that keep touching the FP state, save/restore is inevitable, but in the case of having one process that does most of the FPU usage, we may actually be able to do much better than the preloading. In particular, we may be able to keep track of which CPU the process ran on last, and also per CPU keep track of which process' FP state that CPU has. For modern CPU's that don't destroy the FPU contents on save time, that would allow us to do a lazy restore by just re-enabling the existing FPU state - with no restore cost at all!

statfs() calls on eCryptfs files returned the wrong filesystem type and, when using filename encryption, the wrong maximum filename length. If mount-wide filename encryption is enabled, the cipher block size and the lower filesystem's max filename length will determine the max eCryptfs filename length. Pre-tested, known good lengths are used when the lower filesystem's namelen is 255 and a cipher with 8 or 16 byte block sizes is used.

This creates three helper functions that do the TS_USEDFPU accesses, and makes everybody that used to do it by hand use those helpers instead. In addition, there's a couple of helper functions for the "change both CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU at the same time" case, and the places that do that together have been changed to use those. That means that we have fewer random places that open-code this situation. The intent is partly to clarify the code without actually changing any semantics yet (since we clearly still have some hard to reproduce bug in this area), but also to make it much easier to use another approach entirely to caching the CR0.TS bit for software accesses. Right now we use a bit in the thread-info 'status' variable (this patch does not change that), but we might want to make it a full field of its own or even make it a per-cpu variable.

Because we use the floating point instructions themselves to save and restore state directly from user mode, we cannot do that atomically with testing the TS_USEDFPU bit: the user mode access itself may cause a page fault, which causes a task switch, which saves and restores the FP/MMX state from the kernel buffers. This kind of "recursive" FP state save is fine per se, but it means that when the signal stack save/restore gets restarted, it will now take the '#NM' exception we originally tried to avoid. With preemption this can happen even without the page fault - but because of the user access, we cannot just disable preemption around the save/restore instruction. There are various ways to solve this, including using the "enable/disable_page_fault()" helpers to not allow page faults at all during the sequence, and fall back to copying things by hand without the use of the native FP state save/restore instructions. However, the simplest thing to do is to just allow the #NM from kernel space, but fix the race in setting and clearing CR0.TS that this all exposed: the TS bit changes and the TS_USEDFPU bit absolutely have to be atomic wrt scheduling, so while the actual state save/restore can be interrupted and restarted, the act of actually clearing/setting CR0.TS and the TS_USEDFPU bit together must not. Instead of just adding random "preempt_disable/enable()" calls to what is already excessively ugly code, this introduces some helper functions that mostly mirror the "kernel_fpu_begin/end()" functionality, just for the user state instead. Those helper functions should probably eventually replace the other ad-hoc CR0.TS and TS_USEDFPU tests too, but I'll need to think about it some more: the task switching functionality in particular needs to expose the difference between the 'prev' and 'next' threads, while the new helper functions intentionally were written to only work with 'current'.

perf on POWER stopped working after commit e050e3f0 (perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling). That patch exposed a bug in the POWER perf_events code. Since the PMCs count upwards and take an exception when the top bit is set, we want to write 0x80000000 - left in power_pmu_start. We were instead programming in left which effectively disables the counter until we eventually hit 0x80000000. This could take seconds or longer. With the patch applied I get the expected number of samples: SAMPLE events: 9948 Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org>
