MIPS: Optimise non-EVA kernel user memory accesses

2015-06-21T19:54:20+00:00

Commits ac1d8590d3ae (MIPS: asm: uaccess: Use EVA instructions wrappers), 05c6516005c4 (MIPS: asm: uaccess: Add EVA support to copy_{in, to,from}_user) & e3a9b07a9caf (MIPS: asm: uaccess: Add EVA support for str*_user operations) added checks to various user memory access functions & macros in order to determine whether to perform standard memory accesses or their EVA userspace equivalents. In kernels built without support for EVA these checks are entirely redundant. Avoid emitting them & allow the compiler to optimise out the EVA userspace code in such kernels by checking config_enabled(CONFIG_EVA). This reduces the size of a malta_defconfig kernel built using GCC 4.9.2 by approximately 33KB (from 5995072 to 5962304 bytes).

mm/uaccess, mm/fault: Clarify that uaccess may only sleep if pagefaults are enabled

2015-05-19T06:39:14+00:00

In general, non-atomic variants of user access functions must not sleep if pagefaults are disabled. Let's update all relevant comments in uaccess code. This also reflects the might_sleep() checks in might_fault().

MIPS: asm: uaccess: Add v1 register to clobber list on EVA

2014-11-19T17:22:08+00:00

When EVA is turned on and prefetching is being used in memcpy.S, the v1 register is being used as a helper register to the PREFE instruction. However, v1 ($3) was not in the clobber list, which means that the compiler did not preserve it across function calls, and that could corrupt the value of the register leading to all sorts of userland crashes. We fix this problem by using the DADDI_SCRATCH macro to define the clobbered register when CONFIG_EVA && CONFIG_CPU_HAS_PREFETCH are enabled.

MIPS: asm: uaccess: Add EVA support for str*_user operations

2014-03-26T22:09:16+00:00

The str*_user functions are used to securely access NULL terminated strings from userland. Therefore, it's necessary to use the appropriate EVA function. However, if the string is in kernel space, then the normal instructions are being used to access it. The __str*_kernel_asm and __str*_user_asm symbols are the same for non-EVA mode so there is no functional change for the non-EVA kernels. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: asm: uaccess: Add EVA support to copy_{in, to,from}_user

2014-03-26T22:09:16+00:00

Use the EVA specific functions from memcpy.S to perform userspace operations. When get_fs() == get_ds() the usual load/store instructions are used because the destination address is located in the kernel address space region. Otherwise, the EVA specifc load/store instructions are used which will go through th TLB to perform the virtual to physical translation for the userspace address. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: asm: uaccess: Rename {get,put}_user_asm macros

2014-03-26T22:09:16+00:00

The {get,put}_user_asm functions can be used to load data from kernel or the user address space so rename them to avoid confusion. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras
