      MIPS: Add definitions for extended context · f1fe2d21
      Paul Burton 提交于
      The context introduced by MSA needs to be saved around signals. However,
      we can't increase the size of struct sigcontext because that will change
      the offset of the signal mask in struct sigframe or struct ucontext.
      This patch instead places the new context immediately after the struct
      sigframe for traditional signals, or similarly after struct ucontext for
      RT signals. The layout of struct sigframe & struct ucontext is identical
      from their sigcontext fields onwards, so the offset from the sigcontext
      to the extended context will always be the same regardless of the type
      of signal.
      
      Userland will be able to search through the extended context by using
      the magic values to detect which types of context are present. Any
      unrecognised context can be skipped over using the size field of struct
      extcontext. Once the magic value END_EXTCONTEXT_MAGIC is seen it is
      known that there are no further extended context structures to examine.
      
      This approach is somewhat similar to that taken by ARM to save VFP &
      other context at the end of struct ucontext.
      
      Userland can determine whether extended context is present by checking
      for the USED_EXTCONTEXT bit in the sc_used_math field of struct
      sigcontext. Whilst this could potentially change the historic semantics
      of sc_used_math if further extended context which does not imply FP
      context were to be introduced in the future, I have been unable to find
      any userland code making use of sc_used_math at all. Using one of the
      fields described as unused in struct sigcontext was considered, but the
      kernel does not already write to those fields so there would be no
      guarantee of the field being clear on older kernels. Other alternatives
      would be to have userland check the kernel version, or to have a HWCAP
      bit indicating presence of extended context. However there is a desire
      to have the context & information required to decode it be self
      contained such that, for example, debuggers could decode the saved
      context easily.

      MIPS: Indicate FP mode in sigcontext sc_used_math · 0d071fa3
      Paul Burton 提交于
      The sc_used_math field of struct sigcontext & its variants has
      traditionally been used as a boolean value indicating only whether or
      not floating point context is saved within the sigcontext. With various
      supported FP modes & the ability to switch between them this information
      will no longer be enough to decode the meaning of the data stored in the
      sc_fpregs fields of struct sigcontext.
      
      To make that possible 3 bits are defined within sc_used_math:
      
        - Bit 0 (USED_FP) represents whether FP was used, essentially
          providing the boolean flag which sc_used_math as a whole provided
          previously.
      
        - Bit 1 (USED_FR1) provides the value of the Status.FR bit at the time
          the FP context was saved.
      
        - Bit 2 (USED_HYBRID_FPRS) indicates whether the FP context was saved
          under the hybrid FPR scheme. Essentially, when set the odd singles
          are located in bits 63:32 of the preceding even indexed sc_fpregs
          element.
      
      Any userland that tests whether the sc_used_math field is zero or
      non-zero will continue to function as expected. Having said that, I
      could not find any userland which uses the sc_used_math field at all.

      Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals" · 16f77de8
      Paul Burton 提交于
      This reverts commit eec43a22 "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around
      signals" and the MSA parts of ca750649 "MIPS: kernel: signal:
      Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory" (the restore path of
      which appears incorrect anyway...).
      
      The reverted patch took care not to break compatibility with userland
      users of struct sigcontext, but inadvertantly changed the offset of the
      uc_sigmask field of struct ucontext. Thus Linux v3.15 breaks the
      userland ABI. The MSA context will need to be saved via some other
      opt-in mechanism, but for now revert the change to reduce the fallout.
      
      This will have minimal impact upon use of MSA since the only supported
      CPU which includes it (the P5600) is 32-bit and therefore requires that
      the experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option be selected
      before the kernel will set FR=1 for a task, a requirement for MSA use.
      Thus the users of MSA are limited to known small groups of people & this
      patch won't be breaking any previously working MSA-using userland
      outside of experimental settings.

      [MIPS] Add basic SMARTMIPS ASE support · 9693a853
      Franck Bui-Huu 提交于
      This patch adds trivial support for SMARTMIPS extension. This extension
      is currently implemented by 4KS[CD] CPUs.
      
      Basically it saves/restores ACX register, which is part of the SMARTMIPS
      ASE, when needed. This patch does *not* add any support for Smartmips MMU
      features.
      
      Futhermore this patch does not add explicit support for 4KS[CD] CPUs since
      they are respectively mips32 and mips32r2 compliant.  So with the current
      processor configuration, a platform that has such CPUs needs to select
      both configs:
      
      	CPU_HAS_SMARTMIPS
      	SYS_HAS_CPU_MIPS32_R[12]
      
      This is due to the processor configuration which is mixing up all the
      architecture variants and the processor types.
      
      The drawback of this, is that we currently pass '-march=mips32' option to
      gcc when building a kernel instead of '-march=4ksc' for 4KSC case. This
      can lead to a kernel image a little bit bigger than required.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
