If we have a series of events from userpsace, with %fprs=FPRS_FEF, like follows: ETRAP ETRAP VIS_ENTRY(fprs=0x4) VIS_EXIT RTRAP (kernel FPU restore with fpu_saved=0x4) RTRAP We will not restore the user registers that were clobbered by the FPU using kernel code in the inner-most trap. Traps allocate FPU save slots in the thread struct, and FPU using sequences save the "dirty" FPU registers only. This works at the initial trap level because all of the registers get recorded into the top-level FPU save area, and we'll return to userspace with the FPU disabled so that any FPU use by the user will take an FPU disabled trap wherein we'll load the registers back up properly. But this is not how trap returns from kernel to kernel operate. The simplest fix for this bug is to always save all FPU register state for anything other than the top-most FPU save area. Getting rid of the optimized inner-slot FPU saving code ends up making VISEntryHalf degenerate into plain VISEntry. Longer term we need to do something smarter to reinstate the partial save optimizations. Perhaps the fundament error is having trap entry and exit allocate FPU save slots and restore register state. Instead, the VISEntry et al. calls should be doing that work. This bug is about two decades old. Reported-by: NJames Y Knight <jyknight@google.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

o Renamed files in sparc64 to <name>_64.S when identical to sparc32 files. o iomap.c were equal for sparc32 and sparc64 o adjusted sparc/Makefile now we have only one lib/ Signed-off-by: NSam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We need to use stricter memory barriers around the block load and store instructions we use to save and restore the FPU register file. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay slot of a jmpl instruction. UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51 The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions. If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer. We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule. Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

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!
