* MIPS: Avoid a BUG warning during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)Marcin Nowakowski2016-09-191-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu_has_fpu macro uses smp_processor_id() and is currently executed with preemption enabled, that triggers the warning at runtime. It is assumed throughout the kernel that if any CPU has an FPU, then all CPUs would have an FPU as well, so it is safe to perform the check with preemption enabled - change the code to use raw_ variant of the check to avoid the warning.

* MIPS: Use per-mm page to execute branch delay slot instructionsPaul Burton2016-08-021-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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binaries targeting older revisions of the architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings are no longer valid in MIPSr6.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.

* MIPS: Force CPUs to lose FP context during mode switchesPaul Burton2016-05-131-23/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9791554b45a2 ("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.

* MIPS: Don't unwind to user mode with EVAJames Hogan2016-05-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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); Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: Matthew Fortune <matthew.fortune@imgtec.com> Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8899/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
* | MIPS: fork: Fix MSA/FPU/DSP context duplication raceJames Hogan2015-01-311-12/+24
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* MIPS: Add arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() functionEunbong Song2014-11-241-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* MIPS: consistently clear MSA flags when starting & copying threadsPaul Burton2014-08-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The TIF_MSA_CTX_LIVE flag (indicating that a task has MSA context which needs to be preserved) was being cleared in start_thread, but the TIF_USEDMSA flag (indicating that a task has used MSA in this timeslice) was not. In copy_thread neither flag was cleared, but both need to be. 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 are disabled. The end result is typically: do_cpu invoked from kernel context![#1]: CPU: 0 PID: 99 Comm: sh Not tainted 3.16.0-rc4-00025-g6dc9476-dirty #88 task: 8f23dc60 ti: 8f1d8000 task.ti: 8f1d8000 ...

* MIPS: Basic MSA context switching supportPaul Burton2014-03-261-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binariesPaul Burton2014-01-131-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* MIPS: Extract schedule_mfi info from __scheduleTony Wu2013-05-171-2/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logicFrederic Weisbecker2011-12-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
