* ARC: __switch_to: asm with dwarf ops (vs. inline asm)Vineet Gupta2023-08-171-103/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __switch_to() is final step of context switch, swapping kernel modes stack (and callee regs) of outgoing task with next task. It is also the starting point of stack unwinging of a sleeping task and captures SP, FP, BLINK and the corresponding dwarf info. Back when dinosaurs still roamed around, ARC gas didn't support CFI pseudo ops and gcc was responsible for generating dwarf info. Thus it had to be written in "C" with inline asm to do the hand crafting of stack. The function prologue (and crucial saving of blink etc) was still gcc generated but not visible in code. Likewise dwarf info was missing. Now with modern tools, we can make things more obvious by writing the code in asm and adding approproate dwarf cfi pseudo ops. This is mostly non functional change, except for slight chnages to asm - ARCompact doesn't support MOV_S fp, sp, so we use MOV Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org>
* ARC: entry: use gp to cache task pointer (vs. r25)Vineet Gupta2023-08-171-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The motivation is eventual ABI considerations for ARCv3 but even without it this change us worthwhile as diffstat reduces 100 net lines r25 is a callee saved register, normally not saved by entry code in pt_regs. However because of its usage in CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG it needs to be. This in turn requires a whole bunch of special casing when we need to access r25. Then there is distinction between user mode r25 vs. kernel mode r25 - hence distinct SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} Instead use gp which is a scratch register and thus saved already in entry code. This cleans things up significantly and much nocer on eyes: - SAVE_CALLEE_SAVED_{USER,KERNEL} are now exactly same - no special user_r25 slot in pt_reggs Note that typical global asm registers are callee-saved (r25), but gp is not callee-saved thus needs additional -ffixed-<reg> toggle Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org>
* ARC: -Wmissing-prototype warning fixesVineet Gupta2023-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Anrd reported [1] new compiler warnings due to -Wmissing-protype. These are for non static functions mostly used in asm code hence not exported already. Fix this by adding the prototypes. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230810141947.1236730-1-arnd@kernel.org Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org>

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/debug.h> file that just maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable.

* ARC: remove SYNC from __switch_to()Vineet Gupta2015-11-171-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SYNC in __switch_to() is a historic relic and not needed at all. - In UP context it is obviously useless, why would we want to stall the core for all updates to stack memory of t0 to complete before loading kernel mode callee registers from t1 stack's memory. - In SMP, there could be potential race in which outgoing task could be concurrently picked for running on a different core, thus writes to stack here need to be visible before the reads from stack on other core. Peter confirmed that generic schedular already has needed barriers (by way of rq lock) so there is no need for additional arch barrier. This came up when Noam was trying to replace this SYNC with EZChip specific hardware thread scheduling instruction for their platform support.

* ARC: [SMP] Fix build failures for large NR_CPUSVineet Gupta2013-11-061-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ST.as only takes S9 (255) for offset. This was going out of range when accessing a task_struct field with 4k NR_CPUS (due to 128b of coumaks itself in there). Workaround by using an intermediate register to do the address scaling. There is some duplication of fix for ctx_sw.c and ctx_sw_asm.S however given that C version will go away soon I'm not bothering to factor out the common code.

* ARC: pt_regs update #3: Remove unused gutter at start of callee_regsVineet Gupta2013-06-221-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is trickier than prev two: * context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word. * Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too. ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from user_regs_struct.

* ARC: SMP supportVineet Gupta2013-02-151-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions. ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This includes: -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI) -Cache coherency -load-locked/store-conditional ... The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler prologues to keep them re-entrant. Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012). Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is addressed in subsequent patches within this series.
