powerpc/ptrace: Preserve previous TM fprs/vsrs on short regset write

2017-01-20T03:55:19Z

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the check pointed registers, the thread's old check pointed registers are preserved.

powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and vr_state to store live registers

2016-10-04T09:33:15Z

There is currently an inconsistency as to how the entire CPU register state is saved and restored when a thread uses transactional memory (TM). Using transactional memory results in the CPU having duplicated (almost) all of its register state. This duplication results in a set of registers which can be considered 'live', those being currently modified by the instructions being executed and another set that is frozen at a point in time. On context switch, both sets of state have to be saved and (later) restored. These two states are often called a variety of different things. Common terms for the state which only exists after the CPU has entered a transaction (performed a TBEGIN instruction) in hardware are 'transactional' or 'speculative'. Between a TBEGIN and a TEND or TABORT (or an event that causes the hardware to abort), regardless of the use of TSUSPEND the transactional state can be referred to as the live state. The second state is often to referred to as the 'checkpointed' state and is a duplication of the live state when the TBEGIN instruction is executed. This state is kept in the hardware and will be rolled back to on transaction failure. Currently all the registers stored in pt_regs are ALWAYS the live registers, that is, when a thread has transactional registers their values are stored in pt_regs and the checkpointed state is in ckpt_regs. A strange opposite is true for fp_state/vr_state. When a thread is non transactional fp_state/vr_state holds the live registers. When a thread has initiated a transaction fp_state/vr_state holds the checkpointed state and transact_fp/transact_vr become the structure which holds the live state (at this point it is a transactional state). This method creates confusion as to where the live state is, in some circumstances it requires extra work to determine where to put the live state and prevents the use of common functions designed (probably before TM) to save the live state. With this patch pt_regs, fp_state and vr_state all represent the same thing and the other structures [pending rename] are for checkpointed state.

powerpc/ptrace: Fix cppcheck issue in gpr32_set_common/gpr32_get_common()

2016-09-13T07:37:12Z

The ckpt_regs usage in gpr32_set_common/gpr32_get_common() will lead to following cppcheck error at ifndef CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM case: [arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:2062]: (error) Uninitialized variable: ckpt_regs [arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:2130]: (error) Uninitialized variable: ckpt_regs The problem is due to gpr32_set_common() used ckpt_regs variable which only makes sense at #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM. This patch fix this issue by passing in "regs" parameter instead. Reported-by: Daniel Axtens Signed-off-by: Simon Guo Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/ptrace: Fix coredump since ptrace TM changes

2016-08-10T06:34:20Z

Commit 8d460f6156cd ("powerpc/process: Add the function flush_tmregs_to_thread") added flush_tmregs_to_thread() and included the assumption that it would only be called for a task which is not current. Although this is correct for ptrace, when generating a core dump, some of the routines which call flush_tmregs_to_thread() are called. This leads to a WARNing such as: Not expecting ptrace on self: TM regs may be incorrect ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 123 PID: 7727 at arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:1088 flush_tmregs_to_thread+0x78/0x80 CPU: 123 PID: 7727 Comm: libvirtd Not tainted 4.8.0-rc1-gcc6x-g61e8a0d #1 task: c000000fe631b600 task.stack: c000000fe63b0000 NIP: c00000000001a1a8 LR: c00000000001a1a4 CTR: c000000000717780 REGS: c000000fe63b3420 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (4.8.0-rc1-gcc6x-g61e8a0d) MSR: 900000010282b033 CR: 28004222 XER: 20000000 ...

This patch also moves flush_tmregs_to_thread() into ptrace.c as it is only called from that file.

powerpc/ptrace: Enable support for Performance Monitor registers

2016-08-01T01:15:24Z

This patch enables support for Performance monitor registers related ELF core note NT_PPC_PMU based ptrace requests through PTRACE_GETREGSET, PTRACE_SETREGSET calls. This is achieved through adding one new register sets REGSET_PMU in powerpc corresponding to the ELF core note sections added in this regard. It also implements the get, set and active functions for this new register sets added. Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual Signed-off-by: Simon Guo Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
