linux-toradex.git/arch/mips/kernel/branch.c, branch v3.3.5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules MIPS Kprobes: Refactor branch emulation 2011-12-07T22:04:03+00:00 Maneesh Soni manesoni@cisco.com 2011-11-08T11:37:11+00:00 d8d4e3ae0b5c179c0bfd3f0af5b352d13bea9cfa This patch refactors MIPS branch emulation code so as to allow skipping delay slot instruction in case of branch likely instructions when branch is not taken. This is useful for keeping the code common for use cases like kprobes where one would like to handle the branch instructions keeping the delay slot instuction also in picture for branch likely instructions. Also allow emulation when instruction to be decoded is not at pt_regs->cp0_epc as in case of kprobes where pt_regs->cp0_epc points to the breakpoint instruction. The patch also exports the function for modules.

allow emulation when instruction to be decoded is not at pt_regs->cp0_epc

Use it in restart logics. Everything else will have it 0 since we pass through SAVE_SOME on all the ways in. Note that in places like bad_stack and inllegal_syscall we leave it 0 - it's not restartable.

[MIPS] Fix branch emulation for floating-point exceptions. 2006-04-27T14:13:50+00:00 Ralf Baechle ralf@linux-mips.org 2006-04-26T20:33:03+00:00 ee1cca1b0661fa33fd99f2d8ec7e2749432f9b1d In the branch emulation for floating-point exceptions, __compute_return_epc must determine for bc1f et al which condition code bit to test. This is based on bits <4:2> of the rt field. The switch statement to distinguish bc1f et al needs to use only the two low bits of rt, but the old code tests on the whole rt field. This patch masks off the proper bits. Signed-off-by: Win Treese <treese@acm.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
