powerpc: add definition for pt_regs offset within an interrupt frame

2022-12-02T06:54:08+00:00

This is a common offset that currently uses the overloaded
STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD constant. It's easier to read and more
flexible to use a specific regs offset for this.

powerpc: Remove CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE

2022-09-26T12:47:37+00:00

PPC_85xx is PPC32 only.
PPC_85xx always selects E500 and is the only PPC32 that
selects E500.
FSL_BOOKE is selected when E500 and PPC32 are selected.

So FSL_BOOKE is redundant with PPC_85xx.

Remove FSL_BOOKE.

And rename four files accordingly.

cpu_setup_fsl_booke.S is not renamed because it is linked to
PPC_FSL_BOOK3E and not to FSL_BOOKE as suggested by its name.

powerpc/config: Add CONFIG_BOOKE_OR_40x

2021-12-09T11:41:19+00:00

We have many functionnalities common to 40x and BOOKE, it leads to
many places with #if defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) || defined(CONFIG_40x).

We are going to add a few more with KUAP for booke/40x, so create
a new symbol which is defined when either BOOKE or 40x is defined.

powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid

2021-06-24T14:06:55+00:00

When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

powerpc: Don't use 'struct ppc_inst' to reference instruction location

2021-06-16T14:09:00+00:00

'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but
in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever.

Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in
memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct
ppc_inst *'.

It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.

maccess: make get_kernel_nofault() check for minimal type compatibility

2020-06-18T19:10:37+00:00

Now that we've renamed probe_kernel_address() to get_kernel_nofault()
and made it look and behave more in line with get_user(), some of the
subtle type behavior differences end up being more obvious and possibly
dangerous.

When you do

        get_user(val, user_ptr);

the type of the access comes from the "user_ptr" part, and the above
basically acts as

        val = *user_ptr;

by design (except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference
is done with a user access).

Note how in the above case, the type of the end result comes from the
pointer argument, and then the value is cast to the type of 'val' as
part of the assignment.

So the type of the pointer is ultimately the more important type both
for the access itself.

But 'get_kernel_nofault()' may now _look_ similar, but it behaves very
differently.  When you do

        get_kernel_nofault(val, kernel_ptr);

it behaves like

        val = *(typeof(val) *)kernel_ptr;

except, of course, for the fact that the actual dereference is done with
exception handling so that a faulting access is suppressed and returned
as the error code.

But note how different the casting behavior of the two superficially
similar accesses are: one does the actual access in the size of the type
the pointer points to, while the other does the access in the size of
the target, and ignores the pointer type entirely.

Actually changing get_kernel_nofault() to act like get_user() is almost
certainly the right thing to do eventually, but in the meantime this
patch adds logit to at least verify that the pointer type is compatible
with the type of the result.

In many cases, this involves just casting the pointer to 'void *' to
make it obvious that the type of the pointer is not the important part.
It's not how 'get_user()' acts, but at least the behavioral difference
is now obvious and explicit.

Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of
copy_from_kernel_nofault.

Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks
like get_user().

powerpc: Use a datatype for instructions

2020-05-18T14:10:37+00:00

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.

However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.

Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.
