ARC: __switch_to: move ksp to thread_info from thread_struct

2023-08-18T03:31:59+00:00

task's arch specific bits are carried in 2 places - embedded thread_struct in task_struct - associated thread_info (hoisted in task's stack page) and syntactically: (thread_info *)(task_struct->stack) ksp (dynamic kernel stack top) currently lives in thread_struct but given its deep location in task struct likely to cache miss when accessed from __switch_to(). Moving it to thread_info would be more efficient given proximity to frequently accessed items such as preempt_count thus very likely to be in cache, specially in schedular code. Note however that currently tsk.thread.ksp takes 1 memory access (off of tsk pointer) while new code tsk->stack.ksp would take 2, but likely to be in cache. Moreover if task is current the 2nd reference can be elided and instead derived from SP as (SP & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1)) All of this also makes __switch_to() code simpler and we can see the 2 ways of retirving ksp (descrobed above) in new code.

ARC: kernel stack: INIT_THREAD need not setup @init_stack in @ksp

2023-08-18T03:31:59+00:00

There are 2 pointers to kernel mode stack of a task - task_struct.stack: base address of stack page (max possible stack top) - thread_info.ksp : runtime stack top in __switch_to INIT_THREAD was setting up ksp to stack base which was not really needed - it would get overwritten with dynamic value on first call to __switch_to when init is switched out for the very first time. - generic code already does init_task.stack = init_stack and ARC code uses that to retrieve task's stack base.

kernel: exit: cleanup release_thread()

Only x86 has own release_thread(), introduce a new weak release_thread() function to clean empty definitions in other ARCHs.

sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked

2021-10-15T09:25:14+00:00

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

ARC: mm: support 3 levels of page tables

2021-08-26T20:43:19+00:00

ARCv2 MMU is software walked and Linux implements 2 levels of paging: pgd/pte. Forthcoming hw will have multiple levels, so this change preps mm code for same. It is also fun to try multi levels even on soft-walked code to ensure generic mm code is robust to handle. overview ________ 2 levels {pgd, pte} : pmd is folded but pmd_* macros are valid and operate on pgd 3 levels {pgd, pmd, pte}: - pud is folded and pud_* macros point to pgd - pmd_* macros operate on actual pmd code changes ____________ 1. #include 2. Define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS 3 3a. Define PMD_SHIFT, PMD_SIZE, PMD_MASK, pmd_t 3b. Define pmd_val() which actually deals with pmd (pmd_offset(), pmd_index() are provided by generic code) 3c. pmd_alloc_one()/pmd_free() also provided by generic code (pmd_populate/pmd_free already exist) 4. Define pud_none(), pud_bad() macros based on generic pud_val() which internally pertains to pgd now. 4b. define pud_populate() to just setup pgd Acked-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: add support for DSP-enabled userspace applications

2020-03-16T17:30:49+00:00

To be able to run DSP-enabled userspace applications we need to save and restore following DSP-related registers: At IRQ/exception entry/exit: * DSP_CTRL (save it and reset to value suitable for kernel) * ACC0_LO, ACC0_HI (we already save them as r58, r59 pair) At context switch: * ACC0_GLO, ACC0_GHI * DSP_BFLY0, DSP_FFT_CTRL Reviewed-by: Vineet Gupta Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

treewide: remove current_text_addr

2018-10-31T15:54:12+00:00

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h. Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but a few archs had inline assembly instead. This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all of the definitions dead code.
