      sparc64: Fix userspace FPU register corruptions. · 44922150
      David S. Miller 提交于
      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.

      [SPARC64]: Avoid membar instructions in delay slots. · b445e26c
      David S. Miller 提交于
      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.

      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!
