parisc: Clean up fixup routines for get_user()/put_user()

2017-04-08T07:35:07Z

commit d19f5e41b344a057bb2450024a807476f30978d2 upstream. Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling. This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register %r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace. Additionally the fixup routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call. The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction. This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation: 1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size. 2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped. 3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler statements. 4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer. 5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

parisc: Zero-initialize newly alloced memblock

2016-10-11T18:52:12Z

Commit 4fe9e1d957e4 ("parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock") switched to the memblock allocator, but missed to zero-initialize the newly allocated memblocks. This lead to crashes on some machines like the rp3410. Fixes: 4fe9e1d957e4 ("parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock") Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h

2016-10-08T14:28:47Z

This file was only including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile this file.

parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock

2016-10-07T15:03:02Z

Memblock is the standard kernel boot-time memory tracker/allocator. Use it instead of the bootmem allocator. This allows using kmemleak, CMA and other features. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Report trap type as human readable string

2016-09-24T19:45:46Z

When faulting on some trap, the kernel currently reports in dmesg: do_page_fault() command='perl' type=6 address=0xbe400403 in libcrypt-2.24.so[f9086000+9000] vm_start = 0x00922000, vm_end = 0x00aed000 With this change the trap type additionally gets reported as human readable string which makes it simpler to recognize the type of problem: do_page_fault() command='perl' type=6 address=0xbe400403 in libcrypt-2.24.so[f9086000+9000] trap #6: Instruction TLB miss fault, vm_start = 0x00922000, vm_end = 0x00aed000 Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Unbreak handling exceptions from kernel modules

2016-04-08T20:14:14Z

Handling exceptions from modules never worked on parisc. It was just masked by the fact that exceptions from modules don't happen during normal use. When a module triggers an exception in get_user() we need to load the main kernel dp value before accessing the exception_data structure, and afterwards restore the original dp value of the module on exit.
