In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay
slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include:
- Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems
which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the
"nofpu" parameter.
- MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the
architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings
are no longer valid in MIPSr6.
Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the
instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and
executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire
MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to
the user stack and executed from there.
This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and
into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access
to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other
solutions is relatively simple.
When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame.
A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may
only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to
ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded
in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay
slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU
code. This traps back to the kernel & leads to a call to do_dsemulret
which frees the allocated frame & moves the user PC back to the
instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch.
In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a
branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break
instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed
this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any
allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an
exception & leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed
if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is
executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit
the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC
to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal
delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a
sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had
meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within
the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code.
Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch
to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an
infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would:
- Only affect the users single process.
- Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the
delay slot, which is forbidden.
- Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program
with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop
would.
If a thread requires a delay slot emulation & no frame is available to
it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are
currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until
a frame is freed by another thread in the process.
Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our
tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as
we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may
only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct
emuframe is also removed & the PC to continue from is instead stored in
struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify & shrink struct
emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page
allocated for them.
The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the
user stack non-executable where that is possible.

Commit 9791554b45 ("MIPS,prctl: add PR_[GS]ET_FP_MODE prctl options
for MIPS") added support for the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl, which allows a
userland program to modify its FP mode at runtime. This is most notably
required if dynamic linking leads to the FP mode requirement changing at
runtime from that indicated in the initial executable's ELF header. In
order to avoid overhead in the general FP context restore code, it aimed
to have threads in the process become unable to enable the FPU during a
mode switch & have the thread calling the prctl syscall wait for all
other threads in the process to be context switched at least once. Once
that happens we can know that no thread in the process whose mode will
be switched has live FP context, and it's safe to perform the mode
switch. However in the (rare) case of modeswitches occurring in
multithreaded programs this can lead to indeterminate delays for the
thread invoking the prctl syscall, and the code monitoring for those
context switches was woefully inadequate for all but the simplest cases.
Fix this by broadcasting an IPI if other CPUs may have live FP context
for an affected thread, with a handler causing those CPUs to relinquish
their FPU ownership. Threads will then be allowed to continue running
but will stall on the wait_on_atomic_t in enable_restore_fp_context if
they attempt to use FP again whilst the mode switch is still in
progress. The end result is less fragile poking at scheduler context
switch counts & a more expedient completion of the mode switch.

When unwinding through IRQs and exceptions, the unwinding only continues
if the PC is a kernel text address, however since EVA it is possible for
user and kernel address ranges to overlap, potentially allowing
unwinding to continue to user mode if the user PC happens to be in the
kernel text address range.
Adjust the check to also ensure that the register state from before the
exception is actually running in kernel mode, i.e. !user_mode(regs).
I don't believe any harm can come of this problem, since the PC is only
output, the stack pointer is checked to ensure it resides within the
task's stack page before it is dereferenced in search of the return
address, and the return address register is similarly only output (if
the PC is in a leaf function or the beginning of a non-leaf function).
However unwind_stack() is only meant for unwinding kernel code, so to be
correct the unwind should stop there.

start_thread() (called for execve(2)) clears the TIF_USEDFPU flag
without atomically disabling the FPU. With a preemptive kernel, an
unfortunately timed preemption after this could result in another
task (or KVM guest) being scheduled in with the FPU still enabled, since
lose_fpu_inatomic() only turns it off if TIF_USEDFPU is set.
Use lose_fpu(0) instead of the separate FPU / MSA management, which
should do the right thing (drop FPU properly and atomically without
saving state) and will be more future proof.

Userland code may be built using an ABI which permits linking to objects
that have more restrictive floating point requirements. For example,
userland code may be built to target the O32 FPXX ABI. Such code may be
linked with other FPXX code, or code built for either one of the more
restrictive FP32 or FP64. When linking with more restrictive code, the
overall requirement of the process becomes that of the more restrictive
code. The kernel has no way to know in advance which mode the process
will need to be executed in, and indeed it may need to change during
execution. The dynamic loader is the only code which will know the
overall required mode, and so it needs to have a means to instruct the
kernel to switch the FP mode of the process.
This patch introduces 2 new options to the prctl syscall which provide
such a capability. The FP mode of the process is represented as a
simple bitmask combining a number of mode bits mirroring those present
in the hardware. Userland can either retrieve the current FP mode of
the process:
mode = prctl(PR_GET_FP_MODE);
or modify the current FP mode of the process:
err = prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, new_mode);

There is a race in the MIPS fork code which allows the child to get a
stale copy of parent MSA/FPU/DSP state that is active in hardware
registers when the fork() is called. This is because copy_thread() saves
the live register state into the child context only if the hardware is
currently in use, apparently on the assumption that the hardware state
cannot have been saved and disabled since the initial duplication of the
task_struct. However preemption is certainly possible during this
window.
An example sequence of events is as follows:
1) The parent userland process puts important data into saved floating
point registers ($f20-$f31), which are then dirty compared to the
process' stored context.
2) The parent process calls fork() which does a clone system call.
3) In the kernel, do_fork() -> copy_process() -> dup_task_struct() ->
arch_dup_task_struct() (which uses the weakly defined default
implementation). This duplicates the parent process' task context,
which includes a stale version of its FP context from when it was
last saved, probably some time before (1).
4) At some point before copy_process() calls copy_thread(), such as when
duplicating the memory map, the process is desceduled. Perhaps it is
preempted asynchronously, or perhaps it sleeps while blocked on a
mutex. The dirty FP state in the FP registers is saved to the parent
process' context and the FPU is disabled.
5) When the process is rescheduled again it continues copying state
until it gets to copy_thread(), which checks whether the FPU is in
use, so that it can copy that dirty state to the child process' task
context. Because of the deschedule however the FPU is not in use, so
the child process' context is left with stale FP context from the
last time the parent saved it (some time before (1)).
6) When the new child process is scheduled it reads the important data
from the saved floating point register, and ends up doing a NULL
pointer dereference as a result of the stale data.
This use of saved floating point registers across function calls can be
triggered fairly easily by explicitly using inline asm with a current
(MIPS R2) compiler, but is far more likely to happen unintentionally
with a MIPS R6 compiler where the FP registers are more likely to get
used as scratch registers for storing non-fp data.
It is easily fixed, in the same way that other architectures do it, by
overriding the implementation of arch_dup_task_struct() to sync the
dirty hardware state to the parent process' task context *prior* to
duplicating it, rather than copying straight to the child process' task
context in copy_thread(). Note, the FPU hardware is not disabled so the
parent process may continue executing with the live register context,
but now the child process is guaranteed to have an identical copy of it
at that point.

Currently, arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() is defined in only x86 and
sparc which have an NMI. But in case of softlockup, it could be possible
to dump backtrace of all cpus. and this could be helpful for debugging.
for example, if system has 2 cpus.
CPU 0 CPU 1
acquire read_lock()
try to do write_lock()
,,,
missing read_unlock()
In this case, softlockup will occur becasuse CPU 0 does not call
read_unlock(). And dump_stack() print only backtrace for "CPU 0". If
CPU1's backtrace is printed it's very helpful.

TIF_USEDMSA flag (indicating that a task has used MSA in this timeslice)

Without clearing these flags the kernel will proceed to attempt to save
MSA context when the task is context switched out, and if the task had
not used MSA in the meantime then it will fail because MSA or the FPU

This patch adds support for context switching the MSA vector registers.
These 128 bit vector registers are aliased with the FP registers - an
FP register accesses the least significant bits of the vector register
with which it is aliased (ie. the register with the same index). Due to
both this & the requirement that the scalar FPU must be 64-bit (FR=1) if
enabled at the same time as MSA the kernel will enable MSA & scalar FP
at the same time for tasks which use MSA. If we restore the MSA vector
context then we might as well enable the scalar FPU since the reason it
was left disabled was to allow for lazy FP context restoring - but we
just restored the FP context as it's a subset of the vector context. If
we restore the FP context and have previously used MSA then we have to
restore the whole vector context anyway (see comment in
enable_restore_fp_context for details) so similarly we might as well
enable MSA.
Thus if a task does not use MSA then it will continue to behave as
without this patch - the scalar FP context will be saved & restored as
usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save &
restore the vector context forever more.

This code assumed that saved FP registers are 64 bits wide, an
assumption which will no longer be true once MSA is introduced. This
patch modifies the code to copy the lower 64 bits of each register in
turn, which is safe for any FP register width >= 64 bits.

CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs
do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act
like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32
bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is
zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined
expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a
64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is
built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF
header.
With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when
executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition
of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in
the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is
introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't
require it.
Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more
cleanly & correctly.

schedule_mfi is supposed to be extracted from schedule(), and
is used in thread_saved_pc and get_wchan.
But, after optimization, schedule() is reduced to a sibling
call to __schedule(), and no real frame info can be extracted.
One solution is to compile schedule() with -fno-omit-frame-pointer
and -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, but that will incur performance
degradation.
Another solution is to extract info from the real scheduler,
__schedule, and this is the approache adopted here.
This patch reads the __schedule address by either following
the 'j' call in schedule if KALLSYMS is disabled or by using
kallsyms_lookup_name to lookup __schedule if KALLSYMS is
available, then, extracts schedule_mfi from __schedule frame info.
This patch also fixes the "Can't analyze schedule() prologue"
warning at boot time.

Given a function, get_frame_info() analyzes its instructions
to figure out frame size and return address. get_frame_info()
works as follows:
1. analyze up to 128 instructions if the function size is unknown
2. search for 'addiu/daddiu sp,sp,-immed' for frame size
3. search for 'sw ra,offset(sp)' for return address
4. end search when it sees jr/jal/jalr
This leads to an issue when the given function is a sibling
call, example shown as follows.
801ca110 <schedule>:
801ca110: 8f820000 lw v0,0(gp)
801ca114: 8c420000 lw v0,0(v0)
801ca118: 080726f0 j 801c9bc0 <__schedule>
801ca11c: 00000000 nop
801ca120 <io_schedule>:
801ca120: 27bdffe8 addiu sp,sp,-24
801ca124: 3c028022 lui v0,0x8022
801ca128: afbf0014 sw ra,20(sp)
In this case, get_frame_info() cannot properly detect schedule's
frame info, and eventually returns io_schedule's instead.
This patch adds 'j' to the end search condition to workaround
sibling call cases.

- Various fixes that were to late to make it straight into 3.9
- Improved platform support, in particular the Netlogic XLR and
BCM63xx, and the SEAD3 and Malta eval boards.
- Support for several Ralink SOC families.
- Complete support for the microMIPS ASE which basically reencodes the
existing MIPS32/MIPS64 ISA to use non-constant size instructions.
- Some fallout from LTO work which remove old cruft and will generally
make the MIPS kernel easier to maintain and resistant to compiler
optimization, even in absence of LTO.
- KVM support. While MIPS has announced hardware virtualization
extensions this KVM extension uses trap and emulate mode for
virtualization of MIPS32. More KVM work to add support for VZ
hardware virtualizaiton extensions and MIPS64 will probably already
be merged for 3.11.
Most of this has been sitting in -next for a long time. All defconfigs
have been build or run time tested except three for which fixes are being
sent by other maintainers.

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:
- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.
There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.
- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.
