parisc: Fix get_user() for 64-bit value on 32-bit kernel

2017-04-21T07:32:41+00:00

commit 3f795cef0ecdf9bc980dd058d49bdab4b19af1d3 upstream. This fixes a bug in which the upper 32-bits of a 64-bit value which is read by get_user() was lost on a 32-bit kernel. While touching this code, split out pre-loading of %sr2 space register and clean up code indent. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

parisc: Clean up fixup routines for get_user()/put_user()

2017-04-08T07:35:07+00:00

commit d19f5e41b344a057bb2450024a807476f30978d2 upstream. Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling. This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register %r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace. Additionally the fixup routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call. The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction. This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation: 1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size. 2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped. 3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler statements. 4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer. 5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

parisc: Optimize flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range

2017-03-26T11:08:10+00:00

commit 316ec0624f951166daedbe446988ef92ae72b59f upstream. The previously submitted patch did not resolve the random segmentation faults observed on the phantom buildd system. There are still unresolved problems with the Debian 4.8 and 4.9 kernels on C8000. The attached patch removes the flush of the offset map pages and does a whole data cache flush for large ranges. No other arch flushes the offset map in these routines as far as I can tell. I have not observed any random segmentation faults on rp3440 in two weeks of testing with 4.10.0 and 4.10.1.

parisc: Don't use BITS_PER_LONG in userspace-exported swab.h header

2017-01-28T20:54:23+00:00

In swab.h the "#if BITS_PER_LONG > 32" breaks compiling userspace programs if BITS_PER_LONG is #defined by userspace with the sizeof() compiler builtin. Solve this problem by using __BITS_PER_LONG instead. Since we now #include asm/bitsperlong.h avoid further potential userspace pollution by moving the #define of SHIFT_PER_LONG to bitops.h which is not exported to userspace. This patch unbreaks compiling qemu on hppa/parisc. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Cc:

parisc: Drop TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK and switch to generic code

2016-12-29T20:52:36+00:00

Commit 7e7814180b33 ("signal: consolidate {TS,TLF}_RESTORE_SIGMASK code") introduced code with which the "restore sigmask" flag lives in task_struct instead of ti->flags. Let's use this optimization on parisc too. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Optimize timer interrupt function

2016-12-20T20:39:40+00:00

Restructure the timer interrupt function to better cope with missed timer irqs. Optimize the calculation when the next interrupt should happen and skip irqs if they would happen too shortly after exit of the irq function. The update_process_times() call is done anyway at every timer irq, so we can safely drop the prof_counter and prof_multiplier variables from the per_cpu structure. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Enhance CPU detection code on PAT machines

2016-12-12T21:28:09+00:00

This patch fixes the debug code which runs during the inventory scan on machines with PAT firmware. Additionally print out the relationship between the detected logical CPU number and it's physical location and physical cpu number. This leads to information which can be used to feed numa-structures in the kernel in later patches. An example output is from my single-CPU (2 cores) C8000 machine is: Logical CPU #0 is physical cpu #0 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe780000 Logical CPU #1 is physical cpu #1 at 0xffff0000ffff15, hpa 0xfffffffffe781000 Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
