      powerpc/booke: Add support for advanced debug registers
      
      From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
      Based on patches originally written by Torez Smith.
      
      This patch defines context switch and trap related functionality
      for BookE specific Debug Registers. It adds support to ptrace()
      for setting and getting BookE related Debug Registers

      powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers
      
      From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
      Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
      advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:
      
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
      CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported
      
      Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
      hardware.  I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
      and 2 DAC registers.  For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
      well as the DAC ranges.

      powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code · efbda860
      Josh Boyer 提交于
      On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
      stack pointer passed into the kernel.  Most places handle this correctly, but
      the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
      stack frames.
      
      This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
      sanitized stack pointer.  For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
      pointer is masked correctly.  In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
      returned.
      
      Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
      get the properly sanitized stack.  The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
      statically.

      powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext size · 16c29d18
      Michael Neuling 提交于
      Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
      the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
      larger size with the extra VSX state.  A program using the
      sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
      structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
      used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
      the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
      its current context to be saved).  Thus the program will start
      getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.
      
      This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
      this case.  It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
      will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
      the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.
      
      Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.
      
      [paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls]

      Michael Neuling 提交于
      This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
      VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
      save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
      as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
      
      Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
      
      The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
      doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
      compatibility is maintained.

      VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
      registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
      second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.
      
      This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
      this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
      floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
      when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

      [POWERPC] Fix register save area alignment for swapcontext syscall · 1c9bb1a0
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      For 32-bit processes, the getcontext side of the swapcontext system
      call (i.e. the saving of the context when the first argument is
      non-NULL) has to set the ctx->uc_mcontext.uc_regs pointer to the place
      where it saves the registers.  Which it does, but it doesn't ensure
      that the pointer is 16-byte aligned.  16-byte alignment is needed
      because the Altivec/VMX registers are saved in there, and they need to
      be on a 16-byte boundary.
      
      This fixes it by ensuring the appropriate alignment of the pointer.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl · fab5db97
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      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.

      powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs · 1bd79336
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
      paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
      simplified and improved:
      
      * 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
        path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
        bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
        the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
        which is not necessarily the current system call.
      
      * 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
        path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.
      
      * _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
        _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
        by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.
      
      * On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
        to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
        was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
        weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
        away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
        alter the non-volatile registers.
      
      * On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
        making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
        preemption and signal delivery.
      
      * 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
        set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
        non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.
      
      * I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
        non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
        enable interrupts first.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid potential FP corruption with preempt and UP · 5388fb10
      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.

      [PATCH] syscall entry/exit revamp · 401d1f02
      David Woodhouse 提交于
      This cleanup patch speeds up the null syscall path on ppc64 by about 3%,
      and brings the ppc32 and ppc64 code slightly closer together.
      
      The ppc64 code was checking current_thread_info()->flags twice in the
      syscall exit path; once for TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A before disabling
      interrupts, and then again for TIF_SIGPENDING|TIF_NEED_RESCHED etc after
      disabling interrupts. Now we do the same as ppc32 -- check the flags
      only once in the fast path, and re-enable interrupts if necessary in the
      ptrace case.
      
      The patch abolishes the 'syscall_noerror' member of struct thread_info
      and replaces it with a TIF_NOERROR bit in the flags, which is handled in
      the slow path. This shortens the syscall entry code, which no longer
      needs to clear syscall_noerror.
      
      The patch adds a TIF_SAVE_NVGPRS flag which causes the syscall exit slow
      path to save the non-volatile GPRs into a signal frame. This removes the
      need for the assembly wrappers around sys_sigsuspend(),
      sys_rt_sigsuspend(), et al which existed solely to save those registers
      in advance. It also means I don't have to add new wrappers for ppoll()
      and pselect(), which is what I was supposed to be doing when I got
      distracted into this...
      
      Finally, it unifies the ppc64 and ppc32 methods of handling syscall exit
      directly into a signal handler (as required by sigsuspend et al) by
      introducing a TIF_RESTOREALL flag which causes _all_ the registers to be
      reloaded from the pt_regs by taking the ret_from_exception path, instead
      of the normal syscall exit path which stomps on the callee-saved GPRs.
      
      It appears to pass an LTP test run on ppc64, and passes basic testing on
      ppc32 too. Brief tests of ptrace functionality with strace and gdb also
      appear OK. I wouldn't send it to Linus for 2.6.15 just yet though :)

      clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.
      
      Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
      returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
      add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
      have to change.
      
      I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
      ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
      64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
      tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

      [PATCH] powerpc: Merge signal.h · c5ff7001
      David Gibson 提交于
      Having already merged the ppc and ppc64 versions of signal.c, this
      patch finishes the job by merging signal.h.  The two versions were
      almost identical already.  Notable changes:
      	- We use BITS_PER_LONG to correctly size sigset_t
      	- Remove some uneeded #includes and struct forward
      declarations.  This does mean adding an include to signal_32.c which
      relied on the indirect inclusion of sigcontext.h
      	- As the ppc64 version, the merged signal.h has prototypes for
      do_signal() and do_signal32().  Thus remove extra prototypes from
      ppc_ksyms.c which had them directly.
      
      Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=ppc64 and ARCH=powerpc).  Built
      for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=ppc and ARCH=powerpc) and Walnut (ARCH=ppc).

      [PATCH] powerpc: Kill ppcdebug · dcad47fc
      David Gibson 提交于
      The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places.
      First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the
      hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better
      accomplished with a command line option for that purpose.  The other
      was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which
      would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism.
      
      This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism.
      
      Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc).
