MIPS: Save static registers before sysmips

2017-07-27T22:06:07+00:00

commit 49955d84cd9ccdca5a16a495e448e1a06fad9e49 upstream.

The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the
MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path
restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have
been saved on entry to the system call.

Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper
function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so
that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.

MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() with EVA

2017-07-27T22:06:07+00:00

commit 4915e1b043d6286928207b1f6968197b50407294 upstream.

EVA linked loads (LLE) and conditional stores (SCE) should be used on
EVA kernels for the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system
call, or else the atomic set will apply to the kernel view of the
virtual address space (potentially unmapped on EVA kernels) rather than
the user view (TLB mapped).

MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() retry condition

2017-07-27T22:06:07+00:00

commit 2ec420b26f7b6ff332393f0bb5a7d245f7ad87f0 upstream.

The inline asm retry check in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the
sysmips system call has been backwards since commit f1e39a4a616c ("MIPS:
Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler")
merged in v2.6.32, resulting in the non R10000_LLSC_WAR case retrying
until the operation was inatomic, before returning the new value that
was probably just written multiple times instead of the old value.

Invert the branch condition to fix that particular issue.

MIPS: kernel: syscall: Set the appropriate ISA level for MIPS R6

2015-02-17T15:37:29+00:00

MIPS R6 changed the opcodes for LL/SC instructions so we need to set
the appropriate ISA level.

MIPS: Apply `.insn' to fixup labels throughout

2014-11-24T06:45:36+00:00

Fix the issue with the ISA bit being lost in fixups that jump to labels
placed just before a section switch.  Such a switch leads to the ISA bit
being lost, because GAS concludes there is no code that follows and
therefore the label refers to data.  Use the `.insn' pseudo-op to
convince the tool this is not the case.

This lack of label annotation leads to microMIPS compilation errors
like:

mips-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .fixup+0x3b8: Unsupported jump between ISA modes; consider recompiling with interlinking enabled.
mips-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value

MIPS: Fix gigaton of warning building with microMIPS.

2014-03-31T16:17:12+00:00

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension

during a kernel build.  Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.

This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2013-03-02T15:44:16+00:00

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:

 o Add basic support for the Mediatek/Ralink Wireless SoC family.

 o The Qualcomm Atheros platform is extended by support for the new
   QCA955X SoC series as well as a bunch of patches that get the code
   ready for OF support.

 o Lantiq and BCM47XX platform have a few improvements and bug fixes.

 o MIPS has sent a few patches that get the kernel ready for the
   upcoming microMIPS support.

 o The rest of the series is made up of small bug fixes and cleanups
   that relate to various parts of the MIPS code.  The biggy in there is
   a whitespace cleanup.  After I was sent another set of whitespace
   cleanup patches I decided it was the time to clean the whitespace
   "issues" for once and and that touches many files below arch/mips/.

Fix up silly conflicts, mostly due to whitespace cleanups.

mips: switch to generic sys_fork() and sys_clone()

2013-02-03T23:33:02+00:00

we still need the wrappers to store callee-saved registers in
pt_regs, but once that done we can jump to kernel/fork.c variants.
