MIPS: traps.c: Verify the ISA for microMIPS RDHWR emulation

2016-04-04T13:25:34+00:00

Make sure it's the microMIPS rather than MIPS16 ISA before emulating
microMIPS RDHWR.  Mostly needed as an optimisation for configurations
where `cpu_has_mmips' is hardcoded to 0 and also a good measure in case
we add further microMIPS instructions to emulate in the future, as the
corresponding MIPS16 encoding is ADDIUSP, not supposed to trap.

MIPS: Bail on unsupported module relocs

2016-04-03T10:32:10+00:00

When an unsupported reloc is encountered in a module, we currently
blindly branch to whatever would be at its entry in the reloc handler
function pointer arrays. This may be NULL, or if the unsupported reloc
has a type greater than that of the supported reloc with the highest
type then we'll dereference some value after the function pointer array
& branch to that. The result is at best a kernel oops.

Fix this by checking that the reloc type has an entry in the function
pointer array (ie. is less than the number of items in the array) and
that the handler is non-NULL, returning an error code to fail the module
load if no handler is found.

MIPS: traps: Correct the SIGTRAP debug ABI in `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp'

2016-04-03T10:32:09+00:00

Follow our own rules set in  for SIGTRAP signals issued
from `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp' by setting the signal code to
TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRKPT respectively, for Watch exceptions and for
those Breakpoint exceptions whose originating BREAK instruction's code
does not have a special meaning.  Keep Trap exceptions unaffected as
these are not debug events.

No existing user software is expected to examine signal codes for these
signals as SI_KERNEL has been always used here.  This change makes the
MIPS port more like other Linux ports, which reduces the complexity and
provides for performance improvement in GDB.

MIPS: Fix MSA ld unaligned failure cases

2016-03-29T12:18:18+00:00

Copying the content of an MSA vector from user memory may involve TLB
faults & mapping in pages. This will fail when preemption is disabled
due to an inability to acquire mmap_sem from do_page_fault, which meant
such vector loads to unmapped pages would always fail to be emulated.
Fix this by disabling preemption later only around the updating of
vector register state.

This change does however introduce a race between performing the load
into thread context & the thread being preempted, saving its current
live context & clobbering the loaded value. This should be a rare
occureence, so optimise for the fast path by simply repeating the load if
we are preempted.

Additionally if the copy failed then the failure path was taken with
preemption left disabled, leading to the kernel typically encountering
further issues around sleeping whilst atomic. The change to where
preemption is disabled avoids this issue.

MIPS: Fix broken malta qemu

2016-03-29T12:18:18+00:00

Malta defconfig compiles with GIC on. Hence when compiling for SMP it causes
the new IPI code to be activated. But on qemu malta there's no GIC causing a
BUG_ON(!ipidomain) to be hit in mips_smp_ipi_init().

Since in that configuration one can only run a single core SMP (!), skip IPI
initialisation if we detect that this is the case. It is a sensible
behaviour to introduce and should keep such possible configuration to run
rather than die hard unnecessarily.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42+00:00

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to  so that the
users don't need to pull in .  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Merge tag 'gpio-v4.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio

2016-03-18T04:05:32+00:00

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6.  There is quite a
  lot of interesting stuff going on.

  The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
  possible, though I consider things like per-arch  as
  essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.

  Core changes:

   - The gpio_chip is now a *real device*.  Until now the gpio chips
     were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
     space outside of the device model.

     We now finally make GPIO chips devices.  The gpio_chip will create
     a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
     struct is kept private.  Anything that needs to be kept private
     from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
     gpio_device.

   - As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
     resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
     overhead and reduce code lines.  A huge slew of patches convert
     almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.

   - Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of
     a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device.  We take small
     steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
     "lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
     lines on these devices.

     We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace.  We still have
     not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace.

   - To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we
     have it always-enabled when using GPIO.  The old sysfs ABI is still
     opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated.

     We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not
     be extended to cover ever more use cases.

  Cleanup:

   - Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture 
     includes.

     This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared
     library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was
     provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement.  These
     patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out
     leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there.

     Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.

   - There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on,
     but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and
     the errorpath is sanitized.  Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and
     unicore still drop in.

   - We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
     implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
     lines.

   - MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

   - ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

  New drivers:

   - WinSystems WS16C48

   - Acces 104-DIO-48E

   - F81866 (a F7188x variant)

   - Qoric (a MPC8xxx variant)

   - TS-4800

   - SPI serializers (pisosr): simple 74xx shift registers connected to
     SPI to obtain a dirt-cheap output-only GPIO expander.

   - Texas Instruments TPIC2810

   - Texas Instruments TPS65218

   - Texas Instruments TPS65912

   - X-Gene (ARM64) standby GPIO controller"

Merge branch 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2016-03-15T20:50:29+00:00

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:

- Initial implementation of the state machine

- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor

- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions

- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"

More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?

- Asymmetry

The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.

- Largely undocumented dependencies

While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.

- Control processor driven

Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:

Control CPU Booting CPU

do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life

do low level init

sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu

bring the rest up

- All or nothing approach

There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.

- Minimal debuggability

Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.

- Notifier [un]registering is tedious

To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.

What's the new design?

The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.

So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:

Control CPU Booting CPU

do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life

do low level init

sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu

bring itself up

The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.

The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.

There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.

The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.

This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:

- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.

- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks

This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.

For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.

If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.

- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.

This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.

- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:

Control CPU Booting CPU

do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life

do low level init

sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up

Signal completion to control cpu

In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.

This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.

I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"
