mips: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in the mips headers

2025-08-29T20:34:29+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. Defining such a macro was necessary in the early days of the kernel, since GCC only started providing __ASSEMBLER__ since version 3.0 in 2000 (see https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=f8f769ea4e69 ). However, having two macros can be very confusing nowadays for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), with just one comment tweaked manually in arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h (that was missing some underscores).

MIPS: vdso: Switch to generic storage implementation

2025-02-21T08:54:02+00:00

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making maintenance easier.

MIPS: vdso: Remove timekeeper includes

2024-10-15T15:50:29+00:00

Since the generic VDSO clock mode storage is used, this header file is unused and can be removed. This avoids including a non-VDSO header while building the VDSO, which can lead to compilation errors.

MIPS: vdso: Invalid GIC access through VDSO

2021-07-09T13:29:06+00:00

Accessing raw timers (currently only CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) through VDSO doesn't return the correct time when using the GIC as clock source. The address of the GIC mapped page is in this case not calculated correctly. The GIC mapped page is calculated from the VDSO data by subtracting PAGE_SIZE: void *get_gic(const struct vdso_data *data) { return (void __iomem *)data - PAGE_SIZE; } However, the data pointer is not page aligned for raw clock sources. This is because the VDSO data for raw clock sources (CS_RAW = 1) is stored after the VDSO data for coarse clock sources (CS_HRES_COARSE = 0). Therefore, only the VDSO data for CS_HRES_COARSE is page aligned: +--------------------+ | | | vd[CS_RAW] | ---+ | vd[CS_HRES_COARSE] | | +--------------------+ | -PAGE_SIZE | | | | GIC mapped page | <--+ | | +--------------------+ When __arch_get_hw_counter() is called with &vd[CS_RAW], get_gic returns the wrong address (somewhere inside the GIC mapped page). The GIC counter values are not returned which results in an invalid time.

mips: Do not include hi and lo in clobber list for R6

2021-04-23T11:42:05+00:00

From [1] "GCC 10 (PR 91233) won't silently allow registers that are not architecturally available to be present in the clobber list anymore, resulting in build failure for mips*r6 targets in form of: ... .../sysdep.h:146:2: error: the register ‘lo’ cannot be clobbered in ‘asm’ for the current target 146 | __asm__ volatile ( \ | ^~~~~~~ This is because base R6 ISA doesn't define hi and lo registers w/o DSP extension. This patch provides the alternative clobber list for r6 targets that won't include those registers." Since kernel 5.4 and mips support for generic vDSO [2], the kernel fail to build for mips r6 cpus with gcc 10 for the same reason as glibc.

vdso/treewide: Add vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter()

2020-08-06T08:57:30+00:00

MIPS already uses and S390 will need the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter(). This works nicely as long as the architecture does not support time namespaces in the VDSO. With time namespaces enabled the regular accessor to the vdso data pointer __arch_get_vdso_data() will return the namespace specific VDSO data page for tasks which are part of a non-root time namespace. This would cause the architectures which need the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter() to access the wrong vdso data page. Add a vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter() and hand it in from the call sites in the core code. For architectures which do not need the data pointer in their counter accessor function the compiler will just optimize it out. Fix up all existing architecture implementations and make MIPS utilize the pointer instead of invoking the accessor function. No functional change and no change in the resulting object code (except MIPS). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/draft-87wo2ekuzn.fsf@nanos.tec.linutronix.de

mips: Introduce asm/vdso/clocksource.h

2020-03-21T14:23:55+00:00

The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library. Introduce asm/vdso/clocksource.h to contain all the arm64 specific functions that are suitable for vDSO inclusion. This header will be required by a future patch that will generalize vdso/clocksource.h.
