* arm: remove several unnecessary module.h include instancesPaul Gortmaker2011-11-011-1/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | Building these files does not reveal a hidden need for any of these. Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden. There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-* don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The presence of VFPv4 cannot be detected simply by looking at the FPSID subarchitecture field, as a value >= 2 signifies the architecture as VFPv3 or later. This patch reads from MVFR1 to check whether or not the fused multiply accumulate instructions are supported. Since these are introduced with VFPv4, this tells us what we need to know.

Lets define two threads. Thread 1, we'll call 'interesting_thread' which is a thread which is running on CPU0, using VFP (so vfp_current_hw_state[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate) and gets migrated off to CPU1, where it continues execution of VFP instructions. Thread 2, we'll call 'new_cpu0_thread' which is the thread which takes over on CPU0. This has also been using VFP, and last used VFP on CPU0, but doesn't use it again. The following code will be executed twice: cpu = thread->cpu; /* * On SMP, if VFP is enabled, save the old state in * case the thread migrates to a different CPU. The * restoring is done lazily. */ if ((fpexc & FPEXC_EN) && vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]) { vfp_save_state(vfp_current_hw_state[cpu], fpexc); vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]->hard.cpu = cpu; } /* * Thread migration, just force the reloading of the * state on the new CPU in case the VFP registers * contain stale data. */ if (thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu != cpu) vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] = NULL; The first execution will be on CPU0 to switch away from 'interesting_thread'. interesting_thread->cpu will be 0. So, vfp_current_hw_state[0] points at interesting_thread->vfpstate. The hardware state will be saved, along with the CPU number (0) that it was executing on. 'thread' will be 'new_cpu0_thread' with new_cpu0_thread->cpu = 0. Also, because it was executing on CPU0, new_cpu0_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, and so the thread migration check is not triggered. This means that vfp_current_hw_state[0] remains pointing at interesting_thread. The second execution will be on CPU1 to switch _to_ 'interesting_thread'. So, 'thread' will be 'interesting_thread' and interesting_thread->cpu now will be 1. The previous thread executing on CPU1 is not relevant to this so we shall ignore that. We get to the thread migration check. Here, we discover that interesting_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, yet interesting_thread->cpu is now 1, indicating thread migration. We set vfp_current_hw_state[1] to NULL. So, at this point vfp_current_hw_state[] contains the following: [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate [1] = NULL Our interesting thread now executes a VFP instruction, takes a fault which loads the state into the VFP hardware. Now, through the assembly we now have: [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate [1] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate CPU1 stops due to ptrace (and so saves its VFP state) using the thread switch code above), and CPU0 calls vfp_sync_hwstate(). if (vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &thread->vfpstate) { vfp_save_state(&thread->vfpstate, fpexc | FPEXC_EN); BANG, we corrupt interesting_thread's VFP state by overwriting the more up-to-date state saved by CPU1 with the old VFP state from CPU0. Fix this by ensuring that we have sane semantics for the various state describing variables: 1. vfp_current_hw_state[] points to the current owner of the context information stored in each CPUs hardware, or NULL if that state information is invalid. 2. thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu always contains the most recent CPU number which the state was loaded into or NR_CPUS if no CPU owns the state. So, for a particular CPU to be a valid owner of the VFP state for a particular thread t, two things must be true: vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &t->vfpstate && t->vfpstate.hard.cpu == cpu. and that is valid from the moment a CPU loads the saved VFP context into the hardware. This gives clear and consistent semantics to interpreting these variables. This patch also fixes thread copying, ensuring that t->vfpstate.hard.cpu is invalidated, otherwise CPU0 may believe it was the last owner. The hole can happen thus: - thread1 runs on CPU2 using VFP, migrates to CPU3, exits and thread_info freed. - New thread allocated from a previously running thread on CPU2, reusing memory for thread1 and copying vfp.hard.cpu. At this point, the following are true: new_thread1->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 2 &new_thread1->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[2] Lastly, this also addresses thread flushing in a similar way to thread copying. Hole is: - thread runs on CPU0, using VFP, migrates to CPU1 but does not use VFP. - thread calls execve(), so thread flush happens, leaving vfp_current_hw_state[0] intact. This vfpstate is memset to 0 causing thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0. - thread migrates back to CPU0 before using VFP. At this point, the following are true: thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 0 &thread->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[0] Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Essentially, last_VFP_context[] tracks who owns the state in the VFP hardware. If last_VFP_context[] is the context for the thread which we're interested in, then the VFP hardware has context which is not saved in the software state - so we need to bring the software state up to date. If last_VFP_context[] is for some other thread, we really don't care what state the VFP hardware is in; it doesn't contain any information pertinent to the thread we're trying to deal with - so don't touch the hardware.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the VFP notifier is called for flush_thread(), we may be preemptible, meaning we might migrate to another CPU, which means referencing the current CPU number without some form of locking is invalid, and can cause data corruption.

* Fix the VFP handling on the Feroceon CPUCatalin Marinas2009-05-301-0/+2

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've observed that ARM VFP state can be corrupted during VFP exception handling when PREEMPT is enabled. The exact conditions are difficult to reproduce but appear to occur during VFP exception handling when a task causes a VFP exception which is handled via VFP_bounce and is then preempted by yet another task which in turn causes yet another VFP exception. Since the VFP_bounce code is not preempt safe, VFP state then becomes corrupt. In order to prevent preemption from occuring while handling a VFP exception, this patch disables preemption while handling VFP exceptions. Signed-off-by: George G.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_PM is selected, the VFP code does not have any handler installed to deal with either saving the VFP state of the current task, nor does it do anything to try and restore the VFP after a resume. On resume, the VFP will have been reset and the co-processor access control registers are in an indeterminate state (very probably the CP10 and CP11 the VFP uses will have been disabled by the ARM core reset). When this happens, resume will break as soon as it tries to unfreeze the tasks and restart scheduling. Add a sys device to allow us to hook the suspend call to save the current thread state if the thread is using VFP and a resume hook which restores the CP10/CP11 access and ensures the VFP is disabled so that the lazy swapping will take place on next access.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows the VFP support code to run correctly on CPUs compatible with the common VFP subarchitecture specification (Appendix B in the ARM ARM v7-A and v7-R edition). It implements support for VFP subarchitecture 2 while being backwards compatible with subarchitecture 1. On VFP subarchitecture 1, the arithmetic exceptions are asynchronous (or imprecise as described in the old ARM ARM) unless the FPSCR.IXE bit is 1. The exceptional instructions can be read from FPINST and FPINST2 registers. With VFP subarchitecture 2, the arithmetic exceptions can also be synchronous and marked by the FPEXC.DEX bit (the FPEXC.EX bit is cleared). CPUs implementing the synchronous arithmetic exceptions don't have the FPINST and FPINST2 registers and accessing them would trigger and undefined exception. Note that FPEXC.EX bit has an additional meaning on subarchitecture 1 - if it isn't set, there is no additional information in FPINST and FPINST2 that needs to be saved at context switch or when lazy-loading the VFP state of a different thread. The patch also removes the clearing of the cumulative exception flags in FPSCR when additional exceptions were raised. It is up to the user application to clear these bits.

* [ARM] Optimise VFP thread notify function a littleRussell King2006-09-201-24/+16Star
| | | | | | | | The common case for the thread notifier is a context switch. Tell gcc that this is the most likely condition so it can optimise the function for this case. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* [ARM] 3748/3: Correct error check in vfp_raise_exceptionsDaniel Jacobowitz2006-08-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz The recent fix to hide VFP_NAN_FLAG broke the check in vfp_raise_exceptions; it would attempt to deliver an exception mask of 0xfffffeff instead of reporting a serious error condition using printk. Define a safe constant to use for an invalid exception maskm, and use it at both ends.

* [ARM] Add thread_notify infrastructureRussell King2006-06-221-25/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

* [ARM] 3499/1: Fix VFP FPSCR corruption for double exception caseGeorge G. Davis2006-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch from George G. Davis The ARM VFP FPSCR register is corrupted when a condition flags modifying VFP instruction is followed by a non-condition flags modifying VFP instruction and both instructions raise exceptions. The fix is to read the current FPSCR in between emulation of these two instructions and use the current FPSCR value when handling the second exception. Signed-off-by: George G.

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!
