2015-01-22arm64: convert part of soft_restart() to assemblyArun Chandran
The current soft_restart() and setup_restart implementations incorrectly assume that compiler will not spill/fill values to/from stack. However this assumption seems to be wrong, revealed by the disassembly of the currently existing code (v3.16) built with Linaro GCC 4.9-2014.05. ffffffc000085224 <soft_restart>: ffffffc000085224: a9be7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp,#-32]! ffffffc000085228: 910003fd mov x29, sp ffffffc00008522c: f9000fa0 str x0, [x29,#24] ffffffc000085230: 94003d21 bl ffffffc0000946b4 <setup_mm_for_reboot> ffffffc000085234: 94003b33 bl ffffffc000093f00 <flush_cache_all> ffffffc000085238: 94003dfa bl ffffffc000094a20 <cpu_cache_off> ffffffc00008523c: 94003b31 bl ffffffc000093f00 <flush_cache_all> ffffffc000085240: b0003321 adrp x1, ffffffc0006ea000 <reset_devices> ffffffc000085244: f9400fa0 ldr x0, [x29,#24] ----> spilled addr ffffffc000085248: f942fc22 ldr x2, [x1,#1528] ----> global memstart_addr ffffffc00008524c: f0000061 adrp x1, ffffffc000094000 <__inval_cache_range+0x40> ffffffc000085250: 91290021 add x1, x1, #0xa40 ffffffc000085254: 8b010041 add x1, x2, x1 ffffffc000085258: d2c00802 mov x2, #0x4000000000 // #274877906944 ffffffc00008525c: 8b020021 add x1, x1, x2 ffffffc000085260: d63f0020 blr x1 ... Here the compiler generates memory accesses after the cache is disabled, loading stale values for the spilled value and global variable. As we cannot control when the compiler will access memory we must rewrite the functions in assembly to stash values we need in registers prior to disabling the cache, avoiding the use of memory.

2014-10-05arm64: flush TLS registers during execWill Deacon
commit eb35bdd7bca29a13c8ecd44e6fd747a84ce675db upstream. Nathan reports that we leak TLS information from the parent context during an exec, as we don't clear the TLS registers when flushing the thread state. This patch updates the flushing code so that we: (1) Unconditionally zero the tpidr_el0 register (since this is fully context switched for native tasks and zeroed for compat tasks) (2) Zero the tp_value state in thread_info before clearing the tpidrr0_el0 register for compat tasks (since this is only writable by the set_tls compat syscall and therefore not fully switched). A missing compiler barrier is also added to the compat set_tls syscall.

2014-06-19arm64: add abstractions for FPSIMD state manipulationArd Biesheuvel
There are two tacit assumptions in the FPSIMD handling code that will no longer hold after the next patch that optimizes away some FPSIMD state restores: . the FPSIMD registers of this CPU contain the userland FPSIMD state of task 'current'; . when switching to a task, its FPSIMD state will always be restored from memory. This patch adds the following functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD register file saves and restores: - fpsimd_preserve_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is saved - fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state Where necessary, the signal handling and fork code are updated to use the above wrappers instead of poking into the FPSIMD registers directly.

2014-05-30arm64: is_compat_task is defined both in asm/compat.h and linux/compat.hAKASHI Takahiro
Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail. Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c (do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is implemented). So this patch proactively 1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h 2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c, but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because they use is_compat_thread().

2013-04-30dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()Tejun Heo
show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version. Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register dumps. An example BUG() dump follows. kernel BUG at /work/os/work/kernel/workqueue.c:4841! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.9.0-rc1-work+ #7 Hardware name: empty empty/S3992, BIOS 080011 10/26/2007 task: ffff88007c85e040 ti: ffff88007c860000 task.ti: ffff88007c860000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8234a07e>] [<ffffffff8234a07e>] init_workqueues+0x4/0x6 RSP: 0000:ffff88007c861ec8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff88007c861fd8 RBX: ffffffff824466a8 RCX: 0000000000000001 RDX: 0000000000000046 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffffffff8234a07a RBP: ffff88007c861ec8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffffffff8234a07a R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88007dc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffff88015f7ff000 CR3: 00000000021f1000 CR4: 00000000000007f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Stack: ffff88007c861ef8 ffffffff81000312 ffffffff824466a8 ffff88007c85e650 0000000000000003 0000000000000000 ffff88007c861f38 ffffffff82335e5d ffff88007c862080 ffffffff8223d8c0 ffff88007c862080 ffffffff81c47760 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81000312>] do_one_initcall+0x122/0x170 [<ffffffff82335e5d>] kernel_init_freeable+0x9b/0x1c8 [<ffffffff81c47760>] ? rest_init+0x140/0x140 [<ffffffff81c4776e>] kernel_init+0xe/0xf0 [<ffffffff81c6be9c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff81c47760>] ? rest_init+0x140/0x140 ... v2: Typo fix in x86-32. v3: CPU number dropped from show_regs_print_info() as dump_stack_print_info() has been updated to print it. s390 specific implementation dropped as requested by s390 maintainers.

struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state instead for the ELF core dumping definitions. Furthermore, since we use regset-based core dumping, we do not need definitions for dump_task_regs and dump_fpu.

2012-10-17arm64: Use generic kernel_thread() implementationCatalin Marinas
This patch enables CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD on arm64, changes copy_threads to cope with kernel threads creation and adapts ret_from_fork accordingly. The arm64-specific kernel_thread implementation is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-09-17arm64: Process managementCatalin Marinas
The patch adds support for thread creation and context switching. The context switching CPU specific code is introduced with the CPU support patch (part of the arch/arm64/mm/proc.S file). AArch64 supports ASID-tagged TLBs and the ASID can be either 8 or 16-bit wide (detectable via the ID_AA64AFR0_EL1 register).
