This gives the ability to control whether alignment exceptions get fixed up or reported to the process as a SIGBUS, using the existing PR_SET_UNALIGN and PR_GET_UNALIGN prctls. We do not implement the option of logging a message on alignment exceptions. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change their endian mode via prctl. This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for "PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian. We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian user/kernel ABI. If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is restored to what it was when the signal was delivered. We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and one for true little-endian. Most of the classic 32-bit processors support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature table. There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry. This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall hack. - Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations - Include that file from every source that implements one of these - Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h> This patch is required as a base for implementing system calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general cleanup.

When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never be recycled. In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.

This implements accurate task and cpu time accounting for 64-bit powerpc kernels. Instead of accounting a whole jiffy of time to a task on a timer interrupt because that task happened to be running at the time, we now account time in units of timebase ticks according to the actual time spent by the task in user mode and kernel mode. We also count the time spent processing hardware and software interrupts accurately. This is conditional on CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. If that is not set, we do tick-based approximate accounting as before. To get this accurate information, we read either the PURR (processor utilization of resources register) on POWER5 machines, or the timebase on other machines on * each entry to the kernel from usermode * each exit to usermode * transitions between process context, hard irq context and soft irq context in kernel mode * context switches. On POWER5 systems with shared-processor logical partitioning we also read both the PURR and the timebase at each timer interrupt and context switch in order to determine how much time has been taken by the hypervisor to run other partitions ("steal" time). Unfortunately, since we need values of the PURR on both threads at the same time to accurately calculate the steal time, and since we can only calculate steal time on a per-core basis, the apportioning of the steal time between idle time (time which we ceded to the hypervisor in the idle loop) and actual stolen time is somewhat approximate at the moment. This is all based quite heavily on what s390 does, and it uses the generic interfaces that were added by the s390 developers, i.e. account_system_time(), account_user_time(), etc. This patch doesn't add any new interfaces between the kernel and userspace, and doesn't change the units in which time is reported to userspace by things such as /proc/stat, /proc/<pid>/stat, getrusage(), times(), etc. Internally the various task and cpu times are stored in timebase units, but they are converted to USER_HZ units (1/100th of a second) when reported to userspace. Some precision is therefore lost but there should not be any accumulating error, since the internal accumulation is at full precision. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The runlatch SPR can take a lot of time to write. My original runlatch code would set it on every exception entry even though most of the time this was not required. It would also continually set it in the idle loop, which is an issue on an SMT capable processor. Now we cache the runlatch value in a threadinfo bit, and only check for it in decrementer and hardware interrupt exceptions as well as the idle loop. Boot on POWER3, POWER5 and iseries, and compile tested on pmac32. Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Commit 5388fb10 made signal_32.c use discard_lazy_cpu_state, which broke ARCH=ppc because that uses the common signal_32.c but has its own process.c. Make ARCH=ppc use the common process.c to fix this and to reduce the amount of duplicated code. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

由 Paul Mackerras 提交于
Heikki Lindholm pointed out that there was a potential race with the lazy CPU state (FP, VR, EVR) stuff if preempt is enabled. The race is that in the process of restoring FP state on sigreturn, the task gets preempted by a user task that wants to use the FPU. It will take an FP unavailable exception, which will write the current FPU state to the thread_struct, overwriting the values which sigreturn has stored. Note that this can only happen on UP since we don't implement lazy CPU state on SMP. The fix is to flush the lazy CPU state before updating the thread_struct. To do this we re-use the flush_lazy_cpu_state() function from process.c. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This fixes a bug noticed by Paolo Galtieri and fixed for ARCH=ppc in the previous commit (ppc: fix floating point register corruption). This fixes the arch/powerpc code by adding preempt_disable/enable, and also cleans it up a bit by pulling out the code that discards any lazily-switched CPU register state into a new function, rather than having that code repeated in three places.

Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.

The recent merge of fpu.S broken the handling of fpscr for ARCH=powerpc and CONFIG_PPC64=y. FP registers could be corrupted, leading to strange random application crashes. The confusion arises, because the thread_struct has (and requires) a 64-bit area to save the fpscr, because we use load/store double instructions to get it in to/out of the FPU. However, only the low 32-bits are actually used, so we want to treat it as a 32-bit quantity when manipulating its bits to avoid extra load/stores on 32-bit. This patch replaces the current definition with a structure of two 32-bit quantities (pad and val), to clarify things as much as is possible. The 'val' field is used when manipulating bits, the structure itself is used when obtaining the address for loading/unloading the value from the FPU. While we're at it, consolidate the 4 (!) almost identical versions of cvt_fd() and cvt_df() (arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S, arch/ppc64/kernel/misc.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_32.S, arch/powerpc/kernel/misc_64.S) into a single version in fpu.S. The new version takes a pointer to thread_struct and applies the correct offset itself, rather than a pointer to the fpscr field itself, again to avoid confusion as to which is the correct field to use. Finally, this patch makes ARCH=ppc64 also use the consolidated fpu.S code, which it previously did not. Built for G5 (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc), 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc, CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION=y). Booted on G5 (ARCH=powerpc) and things which previously fell over no longer do. Signed-off-by: NDavid Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc. For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc. The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.

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!
