      MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after notify_die() · 64bedffe
      James Hogan 提交于
      When handling floating point exceptions (FPEs) and MSA FPEs the Cause
      bits of the appropriate control and status register (FCSR for FPEs and
      MSACSR for MSA FPEs) are read and cleared before enabling interrupts,
      presumably so that it doesn't have to go through the pain of restoring
      those bits if the process is pre-empted, since writing those bits would
      cause another immediate exception while still in the kernel.
      
      The bits aren't normally ever restored again, since userland never
      expects to see them set.
      
      However for virtualisation it is necessary for the kernel to be able to
      restore these Cause bits, as the guest may have been interrupted in an
      FP exception handler but before it could read the Cause bits. This can
      be done by registering a die notifier, to get notified of the exception
      when such a value is restored, and if the PC was at the instruction
      which is used to restore the guest state, the handler can step over it
      and continue execution. The Cause bits can then remain set without
      causing further exceptions.
      
      For this to work safely a few changes are made:
      - __build_clear_fpe and __build_clear_msa_fpe no longer clear the Cause
        bits, and now return from exception level with interrupts disabled
        instead of enabled.
      - do_fpe() now clears the Cause bits and enables interrupts after
        notify_die() is called, so that the notifier can chose to return from
        exception without this happening.
      - do_msa_fpe() acts similarly, but now actually makes use of the second
        argument (msacsr) and calls notify_die() with the new DIE_MSAFP,
        allowing die notifiers to be informed of MSA FPEs too.

      [MIPS] kgdb: add arch support for the kernel's kgdb core · 88547001
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      The new kgdb architecture specific handler registers and unregisters
      dynamically for exceptions depending on when you configure a kgdb I/O
      driver.
      
      Aside from initializing the exceptions earlier in the boot process,
      kgdb should have no impact on a device when it is compiled in so long
      as an I/O module is not configured for use.
      
      There have been quite a number of contributors during the existence of
      this patch (see arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c).  Most recently Jason
      re-wrote the mips kgdb logic to use the die notification handlers.

      move die notifier handling to common code · 1eeb66a1
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code.  Previous
      various architectures had exactly the same code for it.  Note that the new
      code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
      the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
      sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
      
      arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
      arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
      declared and used at.  avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
      this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.
