ARC: entry: fix potential EFA clobber when TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE

2020-06-16T19:56:37+00:00

Trap handler for syscall tracing reads EFA (Exception Fault Address),
in case strace wants PC of trap instruction (EFA is not part of pt_regs
as of current code).

However this EFA read is racy as it happens after dropping to pure
kernel mode (re-enabling interrupts). A taken interrupt could
context-switch, trigger a different task's trap, clobbering EFA for this
execution context.

Fix this by reading EFA early, before re-enabling interrupts. A slight
side benefit is de-duplication of FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN in trap handler.
The trap handler is common to both ARCompact and ARCv2 builds too.

This just came out of code rework/review and no real problem was reported
but is clearly a potential problem specially for strace.

sched/rt, ARC: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION

2019-12-08T13:37:32+00:00

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today
depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch the entry code over to use CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

ARC: Re-enable MMU upon Machine Check exception

2017-09-01T18:29:05+00:00

I recently came upon a scenario where I would get a double fault
machine check exception tiriggered by a kernel module.
However the ensuing crash stacktrace (ksym lookup) was not working
correctly.

Turns out that machine check auto-disables MMU while modules are allocated
in kernel vaddr spapce.

This patch re-enables the MMU before start printing the stacktrace
making stacktracing of modules work upon a fatal exception.

This essentially removes ENTRY() assembler annotation for this symbol
since it didn't have a pairing END()

This in ahead of introducing cfi pseudo ops in ENTRY/END which expects
paired cfi_startproc/cfi_endproc

ARC: dw2 unwind: switch to .eh_frame based unwinding

2016-09-30T21:48:20+00:00

So finally after almost 8 years of dealing with .debug_frame, we are
finally switching to .eh_frame. The reason being stripped kernel
binaries had non-functional unwinder as .debug_frame was gone.
Also, in general .eh_frame seems more common way of doing unwinding.

This also folds a revert of f52e126cc747 ("ARC: unwind: ensure that
.debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)") to ensure that we start
getting .eh_frame

ARC: [arcompact] Handle bus error from userspace as Interrupt not exception

2015-11-14T07:42:20+00:00

Bus errors from userspace on ARCompact based cores are handled by core
as a high priority L2 interrupt but current code treated it as interrupt
Handling an interrupt like exception is certainly not going to go unnoticed.
(and it worked so far as we never saw a Bus error from userspace until
IPPK guys tested a DDR controller with ECC error detection etc hence
needed to explicitly trigger/handle such errors)

 - So move mem_service exception handler from common code into ARCv2 code.
 - In ARCompact code, define  mem_service as L2 interrupt handler which
   just drops down to pure kernel mode and goes of to enqueue SIGBUS
