ARC: fp: set FPU_STATUS.FWE to enable FPU_STATUS update on context switch

2021-08-04T01:58:33+00:00

FPU_STATUS register contains FP exception flags bits which are updated
by core as side-effect of FP instructions but can also be manually
wiggled such as by glibc C99 functions fe{raise,clear,test}except() etc.
To effect the update, the programming model requires OR'ing FWE
bit (31). This bit is write-only and RAZ, meaning it is effectively
auto-cleared after write and thus needs to be set everytime: which
is how glibc implements this.

However there's another usecase of FPU_STATUS update, at the time of
Linux task switch when incoming task value needs to be programmed into
the register. This was added as part of f45ba2bd6da0dc ("ARCv2:
fpu: preserve userspace fpu state") which missed OR'ing FWE bit,
meaning the new value is effectively not being written at all.
This patch remedies that.

Interestingly, this snafu was not caught in interm glibc testing as the
race window which relies on a specific exception bit to be set/clear is
really small specially when it nvolves context switch.
Fortunately this was caught by glibc's math/test-fenv-tls test which
repeatedly set/clear exception flags in a big loop, concurrently in main
program and also in a thread.

ARC: Fix CONFIG_STACKDEPOT

2021-08-04T01:58:33+00:00

Enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT results in the following build error.

Other architectures address this problem by adding IRQENTRY_TEXT and
SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT to the text segment, so do the same here.

mm/thp: define default pmd_pgtable()

2021-07-01T18:06:03+00:00

Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating
the same code all over.  Instead just define a default value i.e
pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via
.  All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable()
have been moved into their respective  header in order to
precede before the new generic definition.  This makes it much cleaner
with reduced code.
