This writes a new value to PC which was obtained as the result of an ARM
ALU instruction. For ARMv7 and later this performs interworking.
On ARM kernels we shouldn't encounter any ALU instructions trying to
switch to Thumb mode so support for this isn't strictly necessary.
However, the approach taken in all other instruction decoding is for us
to avoid unpredictable modification of the PC for security reasons. This
is usually achieved by rejecting insertion of probes on problematic
instruction, but for ALU instructions we can't do this as it depends on
the contents of the CPU registers at the time the probe is hit. So, as
we require some form of run-time checking to trap undesirable PC
modification, we may as well simulate the instructions correctly, i.e.
in the way they would behave in the absence of a probe.

This patch improves the performance of LDM and STM instruction
emulation. This is desirable because.
- jprobes and kretprobes probe the first instruction in a function and,
when the frame pointer is omitted, this instruction is often a STM
used to push registers onto the stack.
- The STM and LDM instructions are common in the body and tail of
functions.
- At the same time as being a common instruction form, they also have
one of the slowest and most complicated simulation routines.
The approach taken to optimisation is to use emulation rather than
simulation, that is, a modified form of the instruction is run with
an appropriate register context.
Benchmarking on an OMAP3530 shows the optimised emulation is between 2
and 3 times faster than the simulation routines. On a Kirkwood based
device the relative performance was very significantly better than this.

this patch implements an infrastructure for a new table driven scheme.

- Allows programmatic checking of decoding consistency and test case

This patch changes the behavior of kprobes on ARM so that:
Kprobes on conditional instructions don't trigger when the
condition is false. For conditional branches, this means that
they don't trigger in the branch not taken case.
Rationale:
When probes are placed onto conditionally executed instructions in a
Thumb IT block, they may not fire if the condition is not met. This
is because we use invalid instructions for breakpoints and "it is
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the instruction executes as a NOP or
causes an Undefined Instruction exception". Therefore, for consistency,
we will ignore all probes on any conditional instructions when the
condition is false. Alternative solutions seem to be too complex to
implement or inconsistent.

When __irq_svc - or any of the other exception handling assembly code -
calls the C code, the stack pointer will be pointing at the pt_regs
structure.
All the entry points into C code from the exception handling code are
marked with __exception or __exception_irq_enter to indicate that they
are one of the functions which has pt_regs above them.
Normally, when you've entered asm_do_IRQ() you will have this stack
layout (higher address towards top):
pt_regs
asm_do_IRQ frame
If you insert a C function between the exception assembly code and
asm_do_IRQ, you end up with this stack layout instead:
pt_regs
your function frame
asm_do_IRQ frame
This means when we unwind, we'll get to asm_do_IRQ, and rather than
dumping out the pt_regs, we'll dump out your functions stack frame
instead, because that's what is above the asm_do_IRQ stack frame
rather than the expected pt_regs structure.
The fix is to introduce handle_IRQ() for no exception stack dump, so
it can be called with MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER is selected and a C function
is between the assembly code and the actual IRQ handling code.

Fix a hole in the VFP thread migration. Lets define two threads.
Thread 1, we'll call 'interesting_thread' which is a thread which is
running on CPU0, using VFP (so vfp_current_hw_state[0] =
&interesting_thread->vfpstate) and gets migrated off to CPU1, where
it continues execution of VFP instructions.
Thread 2, we'll call 'new_cpu0_thread' which is the thread which takes
over on CPU0. This has also been using VFP, and last used VFP on CPU0,
but doesn't use it again.
The following code will be executed twice:
cpu = thread->cpu;
/*
* On SMP, if VFP is enabled, save the old state in
* case the thread migrates to a different CPU. The
* restoring is done lazily.
*/
if ((fpexc & FPEXC_EN) && vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]) {
vfp_save_state(vfp_current_hw_state[cpu], fpexc);
vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]->hard.cpu = cpu;
}
/*
* Thread migration, just force the reloading of the
* state on the new CPU in case the VFP registers
* contain stale data.
*/
if (thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu != cpu)
vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] = NULL;
The first execution will be on CPU0 to switch away from 'interesting_thread'.
interesting_thread->cpu will be 0.
So, vfp_current_hw_state[0] points at interesting_thread->vfpstate.
The hardware state will be saved, along with the CPU number (0) that
it was executing on.
'thread' will be 'new_cpu0_thread' with new_cpu0_thread->cpu = 0.
Also, because it was executing on CPU0, new_cpu0_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0,
and so the thread migration check is not triggered.
This means that vfp_current_hw_state[0] remains pointing at interesting_thread.
The second execution will be on CPU1 to switch _to_ 'interesting_thread'.
So, 'thread' will be 'interesting_thread' and interesting_thread->cpu now
will be 1. The previous thread executing on CPU1 is not relevant to this
so we shall ignore that.
We get to the thread migration check. Here, we discover that
interesting_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, yet interesting_thread->cpu is
now 1, indicating thread migration. We set vfp_current_hw_state[1] to
NULL.
So, at this point vfp_current_hw_state[] contains the following:
[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
[1] = NULL
Our interesting thread now executes a VFP instruction, takes a fault
which loads the state into the VFP hardware. Now, through the assembly
we now have:
[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
[1] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate
CPU1 stops due to ptrace (and so saves its VFP state) using the thread
switch code above), and CPU0 calls vfp_sync_hwstate().
if (vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &thread->vfpstate) {
vfp_save_state(&thread->vfpstate, fpexc | FPEXC_EN);
BANG, we corrupt interesting_thread's VFP state by overwriting the
more up-to-date state saved by CPU1 with the old VFP state from CPU0.
Fix this by ensuring that we have sane semantics for the various state
describing variables:
1. vfp_current_hw_state[] points to the current owner of the context
information stored in each CPUs hardware, or NULL if that state
information is invalid.
2. thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu always contains the most recent CPU number
which the state was loaded into or NR_CPUS if no CPU owns the state.
So, for a particular CPU to be a valid owner of the VFP state for a
particular thread t, two things must be true:
vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &t->vfpstate && t->vfpstate.hard.cpu == cpu.
and that is valid from the moment a CPU loads the saved VFP context
into the hardware. This gives clear and consistent semantics to
interpreting these variables.
This patch also fixes thread copying, ensuring that t->vfpstate.hard.cpu
is invalidated, otherwise CPU0 may believe it was the last owner. The
hole can happen thus:
- thread1 runs on CPU2 using VFP, migrates to CPU3, exits and thread_info
freed.
- New thread allocated from a previously running thread on CPU2, reusing
memory for thread1 and copying vfp.hard.cpu.
At this point, the following are true:
new_thread1->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 2
&new_thread1->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[2]
Lastly, this also addresses thread flushing in a similar way to thread
copying. Hole is:
- thread runs on CPU0, using VFP, migrates to CPU1 but does not use VFP.
- thread calls execve(), so thread flush happens, leaving
vfp_current_hw_state[0] intact. This vfpstate is memset to 0 causing
thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0.
- thread migrates back to CPU0 before using VFP.
At this point, the following are true:
thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 0
&thread->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[0]

including hardware support for fused multiple accumulate. D16 or D32
variants may be implemented.
- Integer divide:
The SDIV and UDIV instructions provide signed and unsigned integer
division in hardware. When implemented, these instructions may be
available in either both Thumb and ARM, or Thumb only.
This patch adds new HWCAP defines to describe these new features. The
integer divide capabilities are split into two bits for ARM and Thumb
respectively. Whilst HWCAP_IDIVA should never be set if HWCAP_IDIVT is
clear, separating the bits makes it easier to interpret from userspace.

To get hundredths of MHz the rate needs to be divided by 10'000.
Here is an example:
twd_timer_rate = 123456789
Before the patch:
twd_timer_rate / 1000000 = 123
(twd_timer_rate / 1000000) % 100 = 23
Result: 123.23MHz.
After being fixed:
twd_timer_rate / 1000000 = 123
(twd_timer_rate / 10000) % 100 = 45
Result: 123.45MHz.

If an ARM system has multiple cpus in the same socket and the
kernel is booted with maxcpus=1, secondary cpus are possible but
not present due to how platform_smp_prepare_cpus() is called.
Since most typical ARM processors don't actually support physical
hotplug, initialize the present map to be equal to the possible
map in generic ARM SMP code. Also, always call
platform_smp_prepare_cpus() as long as max_cpus is non-zero (0
means no SMP) to allow platform code to do any SMP setup.
After applying this patch it's possible to boot an ARM system
with maxcpus=1 on the command line and then hotplug in secondary
cpus via sysfs. This is more in line with how x86 does things.

No kernel code can run on the local CPU until we've re-entered the
kernel through one of the exception handlers - and userspace can not
take any locks etc. So, the kernel doesn't care about the IRQ mask

The perf_event overflow handler does not receive any caller-derived

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

convention is hardcoded. New PMU types can be supported through the use

The "Thumb bit" of a symbol is only really meaningful for function
symbols (STT_FUNC).
However, sometimes a branch is relocated against a non-function
symbol; for example, PC-relative branches to anonymous assembler
local symbols are typically fixed up against the start-of-section
symbol, which is not a function symbol. Some inline assembler
generates references of this type, such as fixup code generated by
macros in <asm/uaccess.h>.
The existing relocation code for R_ARM_THM_CALL/R_ARM_THM_JUMP24
interprets this case as an error, because the target symbol appears
to be an ARM symbol; but this is really not the case, since the
target symbol is just a base in these cases. The addend defines
the precise offset to the target location, but since the addend is
encoded in a non-interworking Thumb branch instruction, there is no
explicit Thumb bit in the addend. Because these instructions never
interwork, the implied Thumb bit in the addend is 1, and the
destination is Thumb by definition.
This patch removes the extraneous Thumb bit check for non-function
symbols, enabling modules containing the affected relocation types
to be loaded. No modification to the actual relocation code is
required, since this code does not take bit[0] of the
location->destination offset into account in any case.
Function symbols are always checked for interworking conflicts, as
before.

After entering __irq_usr, arm core will disable interrupt automatically,
but __irq_usr does not annotate the irq disable, so lockdep may complain
the warning if it has chance to check this in irq handler.
This patch adds trace_hardirqs_off in __irq_usr before entering irq_handler

disable_irq again.

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

If a dtb is passed to the kernel then the kernel needs to iterate
through compiled-in mdescs looking for one that matches and move the
dtb data to a safe location before it gets accidentally overwritten by
the kernel.
This patch creates a new function, setup_machine_fdt() which is
analogous to the setup_machine_atags() created in the previous patch.
It does all the early setup needed to use a device tree machine
description.
v5: - Print warning with neither dtb nor atags are passed to the kernel
- Fix bug in setting of __machine_arch_type to the selected machine,
not just the last machine in the list.

- Copy command line directly into boot_command_line instead of cmd_line
v4: - Dump some output when a matching machine_desc cannot be found
v3: - Added processing of reserved list.
- Backed out the v2 change that copied instead of reserved the
dtb. dtb is reserved again and the real problem was fixed by
using alloc_bootmem_align() for early allocation of RAM for
unflattening the tree.
- Moved cmd_line and initrd changes to earlier patch to make series
bisectable.
v2: Changed to save the dtb by copying into an allocated buffer.
- Since the dtb will very likely be passed in the first 16k of ram
where the interrupt vectors live, memblock_reserve() is
insufficient to protect the dtb data.

When initialising a PMU, there is a check to protect against races with
other CPUs filling all of the available event slots. Since armpmu_add
checks that an event can be scheduled, we do not need to do this at
initialisation time. Furthermore the current code is broken because it
assumes that atomic_inc_not_zero will unconditionally increment
active_counts and then tries to decrement it again on failure.

GDB's interrupt.exp test cases currenly fail on ARM. The problem is how do_signal
handled restarting interrupted system calls:
The entry.S assembler code determines that we come from a system call; and that
information is passed as "syscall" parameter to do_signal. That routine then
calls get_signal_to_deliver [*] and if a signal is to be delivered, calls into
handle_signal. If a system call is to be restarted either after the signal
handler returns, or if no handler is to be called in the first place, the PC
is updated after the get_signal_to_deliver call, either in handle_signal (if
we have a handler) or at the end of do_signal (otherwise).
Now the problem is that during [*], the call to get_signal_to_deliver, a ptrace
intercept may happen. During this intercept, the debugger may change registers,
including the PC. This is done by GDB if it wants to execute an "inferior call",
i.e. the execution of some code in the debugged program triggered by GDB.
To this purpose, GDB will save all registers, allocate a stack frame, set up
PC and arguments as appropriate for the call, and point the link register to
a dummy breakpoint instruction. Once the process is restarted, it will execute
the call and then trap back to the debugger, at which point GDB will restore
all registers and continue original execution.
This generally works fine. However, now consider what happens when GDB attempts
to do exactly that while the process was interrupted during execution of a to-be-
restarted system call: do_signal is called with the syscall flag set; it calls
get_signal_to_deliver, at which point the debugger takes over and changes the PC
to point to a completely different place. Now get_signal_to_deliver returns
without a signal to deliver; but now do_signal decides it should be restarting
a system call, and decrements the PC by 2 or 4 -- so it now points to 2 or 4
bytes before the function GDB wants to call -- which leads to a subsequent crash.
To fix this problem, two things need to be supported:
- do_signal must be able to recognize that get_signal_to_deliver changed the PC
to a different location, and skip the restart-syscall sequence
- once the debugger has restored all registers at the end of the inferior call
sequence, do_signal must recognize that *now* it needs to restart the pending
system call, even though it was now entered from a breakpoint instead of an
actual svc instruction
This set of issues is solved on other platforms, usually by one of two
mechanisms:
- The status information "do_signal is handling a system call that may need
restarting" is itself carried in some register that can be accessed via
ptrace. This is e.g. on Intel the "orig_eax" register; on Sparc the kernel
defines a magic extra bit in the flags register for this purpose.
This allows GDB to manage that state: reset it when doing an inferior call,
and restore it after the call is finished.
- On s390, do_signal transparently handles this problem without requiring
GDB interaction, by performing system call restarting in the following
way: first, adjust the PC as necessary for restarting the call. Then,
call get_signal_to_deliver; and finally just continue execution at the
PC. This way, if GDB does not change the PC, everything is as before.
If GDB *does* change the PC, execution will simply continue there --
and once GDB restores the PC it saved at that point, it will automatically
point to the *restarted* system call. (There is the minor twist how to
handle system calls that do *not* need restarting -- do_signal will undo
the PC change in this case, after get_signal_to_deliver has returned, and
only if ptrace did not change the PC during that call.)
Because there does not appear to be any obvious register to carry the
syscall-restart information on ARM, we'd either have to introduce a new
artificial ptrace register just for that purpose, or else handle the issue
transparently like on s390. The patch below implements the second option;
using this patch makes the interrupt.exp test cases pass on ARM, with no
regression in the GDB test suite otherwise.

Probing these instructions was corrupting R0 because the emulation code
didn't account for the fact that they don't write a result to a
register.

Now we have the framework code handling conditionally executed
instructions we can remove redundant checks in individual simulation
routines.

When a kprobe is placed onto conditionally executed ARM instructions,
many of the emulation routines used to single step them produce corrupt
register results. Rather than fix all of these cases we modify the
framework which calls them to test the relevant condition flags and, if
the test fails, skip calling the emulation code.

Currently emulate_ldrd and emulate_strd don't even have the adjustment
of the PC value, so in case of Rn == PC, it will not update the PC
incorrectly but instead load/store from the wrong address. Let's add
both the adjustment of the PC value and the check for PC == PC.

This function is only called by percpu_timer_setup() which is
also __cpuinit marked. Thus it's safe to mark this function as
__cpuinit as well.

The ARM user backtrace code can get into an infinite loop if it
runs into an invalid stack frame which points back to itself.
This situation has been observed in practice. Fix it by capping
the number of entries in the backtrace. This is also what other
architectures do in their backtrace code.

While the tracer accesses ptrace breakpoints, the child task may
concurrently exit due to a SIGKILL and thus release its breakpoints
at the same time. We can then dereference some freed pointers.
To fix this, hold a reference on the child breakpoints before
manipulating them.

Convert some ARM architecture's common code to using
struct syscore_ops objects for power management instead of sysdev
classes and sysdevs.
This simplifies the code and reduces the kernel's memory footprint.
It also is necessary for removing sysdevs from the kernel entirely in
the future.

There are optional bits that may complement a personality ID. It is
therefore wrong to simply test against the absolute current->personality
value to determine the effective personality. The PER_LINUX_32BIT is
itself just PER_LINUX with one of those optional bits set.

Our SET_PERSONALITY() implementation was overwriting all existing
personality flags, including ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, making them unavailable
to processes being exec'd after a call to personality() in user space.
This prevents the gdb test suite from running successfully.

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!
