* MIPS: Make TASK_SIZE reflect proper size for both 32 and 64 bit processes.David Daney2010-10-291-21/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual address space. Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case. The immediate cause of pain was in hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value. The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process. For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and 64-bit cases. __UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels. This should eliminate the possibility of getting a AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the access_ok() test. With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes, and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

* MIPS: Randomize mmap if randomize_va_space is setDavid Daney2010-08-051-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | Fairly straight forward: For 32-bit address spaces randomize within a 16MB space, for 64-bit within a 256MB space.

* MIPS: Use GCC __builtin_prefetch() to implement prefetch().David Daney2010-05-211-9/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC's __builtin_prefetch() was introduced a long time ago, all supported GCC versions have it. Lets do what the big boys up in linux/prefetch.h do, except we use '1' as the third parameter to provoke 'PREF 0,...' and 'PREF 1,...' instead of other prefetch hints. This allows for better code generation. In theory the existing embedded asm could be optimized, but the compiler has these builtins, so there is really no point.

* MIPS: Preliminary VDSODavid Daney2010-04-121-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space.

* MIPS: Avoid clobbering struct pt_regs in kthreadsDavid Daney2009-08-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The resume() implementation octeon_switch.S examines the saved cp0_status register. We were clobbering the entire pt_regs structure in kernel threads leading to random crashes. When switching away from a kernel thread, the saved cp0_status is examined and if bit 30 is set it is cleared and the CP2 state saved into the pt_regs structure. Since the kernel thread stack overlaid the pt_regs structure this resulted in a corrupt stack. When the kthread with the corrupt stack was resumed, it could crash if it used any of the data in the stack that was clobbered. We fix it by moving the kernel thread stack down so it doesn't overlay pt_regs. Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
