ARC: stack unwinding: don't assume non-current task is sleeping

2020-12-16T09:58:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit e42404fa10fd11fe72d0a0e149a321d10e577715 ]

To start stack unwinding (SP, PC and BLINK) are needed. When the
explicit execution context (pt_regs etc) is not available, unwinder
assumes the task is sleeping (in __switch_to()) and fetches SP and BLINK
from kernel mode stack.

But this assumption is not true, specially in a SMP system, when top
runs on 1 core, there may be active running processes on all cores.

So when unwinding non courrent tasks, ensure they are NOT running.

And while at it, handle the self unwinding case explicitly.

This came out of investigation of a customer reported hang with
rcutorture+top

ARC: [plat-hsdk] Remap CCMs super early in asm boot trampoline

2020-11-18T18:22:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3b57533b460c8dc22a432684b7e8d22571f34d2e ]

ARC HSDK platform stopped booting on released v5.10-rc1, getting stuck
in startup of non master SMP cores.

This was bisected to upstream commit 7fef431be9c9ac25
"(mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail in __free_pages_core())"
That commit itself is harmless, it just exposed a subtle assumption in
our platform code (hence CC'ing linux-mm just as FYI in case some other
arches / platforms trip on it).

The upstream commit is semantically disruptive as it reverses the order
of page allocations (actually it can be good test for hardware
verification to exercise different memory patterns altogether).
For ARC HSDK platform that meant a remapped memory region (pertaining to
unused Closely Coupled Memory) started getting used early for dynamice
allocations, while not effectively remapped on all the cores, triggering
memory error exception on those cores.

The fix is to move the CCM remapping from early platform code to to early core
boot code. And while it is undesirable to riddle common boot code with
platform quirks, there is no other way to do this since the faltering code
involves setting up stack itself so even function calls are not allowed at
that point.

If anyone is interested, all the gory details can be found at Link below.

ARC: stack unwinding: avoid indefinite looping

2020-11-10T11:39:10+00:00

commit 328d2168ca524d501fc4b133d6be076142bd305c upstream.

Currently stack unwinder is a while(1) loop which relies on the dwarf
unwinder to signal termination, which in turn relies on dwarf info to do
so. This in theory could cause an infinite loop if the dwarf info was
somehow messed up or the register contents were etc.

This fix thus detects the excessive looping and breaks the loop.

ARC: perf: redo the pct irq missing in device-tree handling

2020-11-05T10:51:47+00:00

commit 8c42a5c02bec6c7eccf08957be3c6c8fccf9790b upstream.

commit feb92d7d3813456c11dce21 "(ARC: perf: don't bail setup if pct irq
missing in device-tree)" introduced a silly brown-paper bag bug:
The assignment and comparison in an if statement were not bracketed
correctly leaving the order of evaluation undefined.

|
| if (has_interrupts && (irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0) >= 0)) {
|                           ^^^                         ^^^^

And given such a chance, the compiler will bite you hard, fully entitled
to generating this piece of beauty:

|
| # if (has_interrupts && (irq = platform_get_irq(pdev, 0) >= 0)) {
|
| bl.d @platform_get_irq  <-- irq returned in r0
|
| setge r2, r0, 0   	<-- r2 is bool 1 or 0 if irq >= 0 true/false
| brlt.d r0, 0, @.L114
|
| st_s	r2,[sp]    	<-- irq saved is bool 1 or 0, not actual return val
| st	1,[r3,160]   	# arc_pmu.18_29->irq <-- drops bool and assumes 1
|
| # return __request_percpu_irq(irq, handler, 0,
|
| bl.d @__request_percpu_irq;
| mov_s	r0,1	   <-- drops even bool and assumes 1 which fails

With the snafu fixed, everything is as expected.

| bl.d @platform_get_irq	<-- returns irq in r0
|
| mov_s	r2,r0
| brlt.d r2, 0, @.L112
|
| st_s	r0,[sp]			<-- irq isaved is actual return value above
| st	r0,[r13,160]	#arc_pmu.18_27->irq
|
| bl.d @__request_percpu_irq	<-- r0 unchanged so actual irq returned
| add r4,r4,r12	#, tmp363, __ptr

ARC: show_regs: fix r12 printing and simplify

2020-08-27T20:11:37+00:00

when working on ARC64, spotted an issue in ARCv2 reg file printing.
print_reg_file() assumes contiguous reg-file whereas in ARCv2 they are
not: r12 comes before r0-r11 due to hardware auto-save. Apparently this
issue has been present since v2 port submission.

To avoid bolting hacks for this discontinuity while looping through
pt_regs, just ditching the loop and print pt_regs directly.

Pull regset conversion fix from Al Viro:
 "Fix a regression from an unnoticed bisect hazard in the regset series.

  A bunch of old (aout, originally) primitives used by coredumps became
  dead code after fdpic conversion to regsets. Removal of that dead code
  had been the first commit in the followups to regset series;
  unfortunately, it happened to hide the bisect hazard on sh (extern for
  fpregs_get() had not been updated in the main series when it should
  have been; followup simply made fpregs_get() static). And without that
  followup commit this bisect hazard became breakage in the mainline"
