xtensa: don't use alternate signal stack on threads

2013-11-13T03:01:49+00:00

commit cba9a90053e3b7973eff4f1946f33032e98eeed5 upstream.

According to create_thread(3): "The new thread does not inherit the creating
thread's alternate signal stack". Since commit f9a3879a (Fix sigaltstack
corruption among cloned threads), current->sas_ss_size is set to 0 for cloned
processes sharing VM with their parent. Don't use the (nonexistent) alternate
signal stack in this case. This has been broken since commit 29c4dfd9 ([XTENSA]
Remove non-rt signal handling).

Fixes the SA_ONSTACK part of the nptl/tst-cancel20 test from uClibc.

xtensa: replace xtensa-specific _f{data,text} by _s{data,text}

2013-08-20T15:26:29+00:00

commit 5e7b6ed8e9bf3c8e3bb579fd0aec64f6526f8c81 upstream.

commit a2d063ac216c161 ("extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs
define _sdata") missed xtensa.  Xtensa does have a start of data marker,
but calls it _fdata, causing

    kernel/built-in.o:(.text+0x964): undefined reference to `_sdata'

_stext was already defined, but it was duplicated by _fdata.

xtensa: fix linker script transformation for .text.unlikely

2013-08-20T15:26:29+00:00

commit f6a03a12ecdbe0dd80a55f6df3b7206c5a403a49 upstream.

Now that binutils generate *.unlikely sections which don't follow
documented (info as) literal section naming rules, section name
transformation script doesn't work well resulting in the following
errors at vmlinux link time:

	main.c:(.text.unlikely+0x3): dangerous relocation: l32r: literal
				     placed after use: .literal.unlikely

Fix section name transformation script by adding specific rule for
.text.unlikely sections.

signal: Define __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER so we know whether to clear sa_restorer

2013-04-05T17:04:14+00:00

Vaguely based on upstream commit 574c4866e33d 'consolidate kernel-side
struct sigaction declarations'.

flush_signal_handlers() needs to know whether sigaction::sa_restorer
is defined, not whether SA_RESTORER is defined.  Define the
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER macro to indicate this.

xtensa: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop

2012-10-12T20:38:54+00:00

commit 11ad47a0edbd62bfc0547cfcdf227a911433f207 upstream.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the xtensa's idle loop.

xtensa: fix build fail on undefined ack_bad_irq

2012-04-26T22:35:32+00:00

Commit e520c410854bab763be24e0fce7ba89dc252efee

    "xtensa: convert to asm-generic/hardirq.h"

converted over to using the asm-generic parts, but it also
added the sentinel

	#define ack_bad_irq ack_bad_irq

which tells asm-generic to _not_ use the common ack_bad_irq.

Since e520c41 deleted the duplicated code from the arch specific
file, we _do_ want the asm-generic one in scope.  So delete
the trigger define above which hides it.  In doing so we'll
realize that we've got to delete the almost-duplicate prototype
as well to avoid "static declaration ... follows non-static".

    kernel.h: doesn't explicitly use bug.h, so don't include it.

This header uses bug.h so explicitly include it now that the
implicit presence was removed by 6c03438ed.

Caused by commit 3785006ac3c8941feb63097c416de92114a6bc39

    "xtensa: don't mask signals if we fail to setup signal stack"

It assigns a return value to "ret", but there is no such variable
anywhere in scope.  Create one.

 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."
