      ARM: vfp: ensure that thread flushing works if preempted · 19dad35f
      Russell King 提交于
      Prevent a preemption event causing the initialized VFP state being
      overwritten by ensuring that the VFP hardware access is disabled
      prior to starting initialization.  We can then do this in safety
      while still allowing preemption to occur.

      ARM: vfp: fix a hole in VFP thread migration · f8f2a852
      Russell King 提交于
      Fix a hole in the VFP thread migration.  Lets define two threads.
      
      Thread 1, we'll call 'interesting_thread' which is a thread which is
      running on CPU0, using VFP (so vfp_current_hw_state[0] =
      &interesting_thread->vfpstate) and gets migrated off to CPU1, where
      it continues execution of VFP instructions.
      
      Thread 2, we'll call 'new_cpu0_thread' which is the thread which takes
      over on CPU0.  This has also been using VFP, and last used VFP on CPU0,
      but doesn't use it again.
      
      The following code will be executed twice:
      
      		cpu = thread->cpu;
      
      		/*
      		 * On SMP, if VFP is enabled, save the old state in
      		 * case the thread migrates to a different CPU. The
      		 * restoring is done lazily.
      		 */
      		if ((fpexc & FPEXC_EN) && vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]) {
      			vfp_save_state(vfp_current_hw_state[cpu], fpexc);
      			vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]->hard.cpu = cpu;
      		}
      		/*
      		 * Thread migration, just force the reloading of the
      		 * state on the new CPU in case the VFP registers
      		 * contain stale data.
      		 */
      		if (thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu != cpu)
      			vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] = NULL;
      
      The first execution will be on CPU0 to switch away from 'interesting_thread'.
      interesting_thread->cpu will be 0.
      
      So, vfp_current_hw_state[0] points at interesting_thread->vfpstate.
      The hardware state will be saved, along with the CPU number (0) that
      it was executing on.
      
      'thread' will be 'new_cpu0_thread' with new_cpu0_thread->cpu = 0.
      Also, because it was executing on CPU0, new_cpu0_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0,
      and so the thread migration check is not triggered.
      
      This means that vfp_current_hw_state[0] remains pointing at interesting_thread.
      
      The second execution will be on CPU1 to switch _to_ 'interesting_thread'.
      So, 'thread' will be 'interesting_thread' and interesting_thread->cpu now
      will be 1.  The previous thread executing on CPU1 is not relevant to this
      so we shall ignore that.
      
      We get to the thread migration check.  Here, we discover that
      interesting_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, yet interesting_thread->cpu is
      now 1, indicating thread migration.  We set vfp_current_hw_state[1] to
      NULL.
      
      So, at this point vfp_current_hw_state[] contains the following:
      
      [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
      [1] = NULL
      
      Our interesting thread now executes a VFP instruction, takes a fault
      which loads the state into the VFP hardware.  Now, through the assembly
      we now have:
      
      [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
      [1] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
      
      CPU1 stops due to ptrace (and so saves its VFP state) using the thread
      switch code above), and CPU0 calls vfp_sync_hwstate().
      
      	if (vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &thread->vfpstate) {
      		vfp_save_state(&thread->vfpstate, fpexc | FPEXC_EN);
      
      BANG, we corrupt interesting_thread's VFP state by overwriting the
      more up-to-date state saved by CPU1 with the old VFP state from CPU0.
      
      Fix this by ensuring that we have sane semantics for the various state
      describing variables:
      
      1. vfp_current_hw_state[] points to the current owner of the context
         information stored in each CPUs hardware, or NULL if that state
         information is invalid.
      2. thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu always contains the most recent CPU number
         which the state was loaded into or NR_CPUS if no CPU owns the state.
      
      So, for a particular CPU to be a valid owner of the VFP state for a
      particular thread t, two things must be true:
      
       vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &t->vfpstate && t->vfpstate.hard.cpu == cpu.
      
      and that is valid from the moment a CPU loads the saved VFP context
      into the hardware.  This gives clear and consistent semantics to
      interpreting these variables.
      
      This patch also fixes thread copying, ensuring that t->vfpstate.hard.cpu
      is invalidated, otherwise CPU0 may believe it was the last owner.  The
      hole can happen thus:
      
      - thread1 runs on CPU2 using VFP, migrates to CPU3, exits and thread_info
        freed.
      - New thread allocated from a previously running thread on CPU2, reusing
        memory for thread1 and copying vfp.hard.cpu.
      
      At this point, the following are true:
      
      	new_thread1->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 2
      	&new_thread1->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[2]
      
      Lastly, this also addresses thread flushing in a similar way to thread
      copying.  Hole is:
      
      - thread runs on CPU0, using VFP, migrates to CPU1 but does not use VFP.
      - thread calls execve(), so thread flush happens, leaving
        vfp_current_hw_state[0] intact.  This vfpstate is memset to 0 causing
        thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0.
      - thread migrates back to CPU0 before using VFP.
      
      At this point, the following are true:
      
      	thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 0
      	&thread->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[0]

      ARM: vfp: fix vfp_sync_state() · 54cb3dbb
      Russell King 提交于
      The more I look at vfp_sync_state(), the more I believe it's trying
      to do its job in a really obscure way.
      
      Essentially, last_VFP_context[] tracks who owns the state in the VFP
      hardware.  If last_VFP_context[] is the context for the thread which
      we're interested in, then the VFP hardware has context which is not
      saved in the software state - so we need to bring the software state
      up to date.
      
      If last_VFP_context[] is for some other thread, we really don't care
      what state the VFP hardware is in; it doesn't contain any information
      pertinent to the thread we're trying to deal with - so don't touch
      the hardware.

      ARM: VFP: fix vfp thread init bug and document vfp notifier entry conditions · 0d782dc4
      Russell King 提交于
      When the VFP notifier is called for flush_thread(), we may be
      preemptible, meaning we might migrate to another CPU, which means
      referencing the current CPU number without some form of locking is
      invalid, and can cause data corruption.
      
      For the most cases, this isn't a problem since atomic notifiers are run
      under rcu lock, which for most configurations results in preemption
      being disabled - except when the preemptable tree-based rcu
      implementation is selected.
      
      Let's make it safe anyway.

      Fix the VFP handling on the Feroceon CPU · 85d6943a
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      This CPU generates synchronous VFP exceptions in a non-standard way -
      the FPEXC.EX bit set but without the FPSCR.IXE bit being set like in the
      VFP subarchitecture 1 or just the FPEXC.DEX bit like in VFP
      subarchitecture 2. The main problem is that the faulty instruction
      (which needs to be emulated in software) will be restarted several times
      (normally until a context switch disables the VFP). This patch ensures
      that the VFP exception is treated as synchronous.

      [ARM] 5349/1: VFP: Add PM code to save and restore current VFP state · fc0b7a20
      Ben Dooks 提交于
      When CONFIG_PM is selected, the VFP code does not have any handler
      installed to deal with either saving the VFP state of the current
      task, nor does it do anything to try and restore the VFP after a
      resume.
      
      On resume, the VFP will have been reset and the co-processor access
      control registers are in an indeterminate state (very probably the
      CP10 and CP11 the VFP uses will have been disabled by the ARM core
      reset). When this happens, resume will break as soon as it tries to
      unfreeze the tasks and restart scheduling.
      
      Add a sys device to allow us to hook the suspend call to save the
      current thread state if the thread is using VFP and a resume hook
      which restores the CP10/CP11 access and ensures the VFP is disabled
      so that the lazy swapping will take place on next access.

      [ARM] 4582/2: Add support for the common VFP subarchitecture · c98929c0
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      This patch allows the VFP support code to run correctly on CPUs
      compatible with the common VFP subarchitecture specification (Appendix
      B in the ARM ARM v7-A and v7-R edition). It implements support for VFP
      subarchitecture 2 while being backwards compatible with
      subarchitecture 1.
      
      On VFP subarchitecture 1, the arithmetic exceptions are asynchronous
      (or imprecise as described in the old ARM ARM) unless the FPSCR.IXE
      bit is 1. The exceptional instructions can be read from FPINST and
      FPINST2 registers. With VFP subarchitecture 2, the arithmetic
      exceptions can also be synchronous and marked by the FPEXC.DEX bit
      (the FPEXC.EX bit is cleared). CPUs implementing the synchronous
      arithmetic exceptions don't have the FPINST and FPINST2 registers and
      accessing them would trigger and undefined exception.
      
      Note that FPEXC.EX bit has an additional meaning on subarchitecture 1
      - if it isn't set, there is no additional information in FPINST and
      FPINST2 that needs to be saved at context switch or when lazy-loading
      the VFP state of a different thread.
      
      The patch also removes the clearing of the cumulative exception flags in
      FPSCR when additional exceptions were raised. It is up to the user
      application to clear these bits.
