MIPS: fix EVA & non-SMP non-FPU FP context signal handling

2014-12-06T23:57:13Z

commit 14fa12df1d6bc1d3389a0fa842e0ebd8e8a9af26 upstream. The save_fp_context & restore_fp_context pointers were being assigned to the wrong variables if either: - The kernel is configured for UP & runs on a system without an FPU, since b2ead5282885 "MIPS: Move & rename fpu_emulator_{save,restore}_context". - The kernel is configured for EVA, since ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel: signal: Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory". This would lead to FP context being clobbered incorrectly when setting up a sigcontext, then the garbage values being saved uselessly when returning from the signal. Fix by swapping the pointer assignments appropriately.

MIPS: cpu-probe: Set the FTLB probability bit on supported cores

2014-12-06T23:57:13Z

commit cf0a8aa0226da5de88011e7f30eff22a894b2f49 upstream. Make use of the Config6/FLTBP bit to set the probability of a TLBWR instruction to hit the FTLB or the VTLB. A value of 0 (which may be the default value on certain cores, such as proAptiv or P5600) means that a TLBWR instruction will never hit the VTLB which leads to performance limitations since it effectively decreases the number of available TLB slots.

MIPS: mcount: Adjust stack pointer for static trace in MIPS32

2014-09-26T09:41:17Z

Every mcount() call in the MIPS 32-bit kernel is done as follows: [...] move at, ra jal _mcount addiu sp, sp, -8 [...] but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401c797 (MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing). Commit ad8c396936e3 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.) fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely for MIPS32.

MIPS: CPS: Initialize EVA before bringing up VPEs from secondary cores

2014-08-26T00:18:57Z

The CPS code is doing several memory loads when configuring the VPEs from secondary cores, so the segmentation control registers must be initialized in time otherwise the kernel will crash with strange TLB exceptions.

MIPS: scall64-o32: Fix indirect syscall detection

2014-08-26T00:18:56Z

Commit 4c21b8fd8f14 (MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls (o32)) added indirect syscall detection for O32 processes running on MIPS64 but it did not work as expected. The reason is the the scall64-o32 implementation differs compared to scall32-o32. In the former, the v0 (syscall number) register contains the absolute syscall number (4000 + X) whereas in the latter it contains the relative syscall number (X). Fix the code to avoid doing an extra addition, and load the v0 register directly to the first argument for syscall_trace_enter. Moreover, set the .reorder assembler option in order to have better control on this part of the assembly code.

2014-08-25T14:33:44Z

Since there is not indirection page in crash type, so the vaule of the head field of kimage structure is not equal to the address of indirection page but IND_DONE. so we have to set kexec_indirection_page variable to the address of the head field of image structure.

Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions. Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(), tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().
