<content type='text'>
The current code in ftrace_regs_caller() doesn't assign
%r3 to contain the address of the current frame. This
is hidden if the kernel is compiled with FRAME_POINTER,
but without it just crashes because it tries to dereference
an arbitrary address. Fix this by always setting %r3 to the
current stack frame.

<title>parisc: add dynamic ftrace</title>

<id>6ca6366220ed285e29ee22f4cf5c68a0397cb005</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements dynamic ftrace for PA-RISC. The required mcount
call sequences can get pretty long, so instead of patching the
whole call sequence out of the functions, we are using
-fpatchable-function-entry from gcc. This puts a configurable amount of
NOPS before/at the start of the function. Taking do_sys_open() as example,
which would look like this when the call is patched out:

1036b248:       08 00 02 40     nop
1036b24c:       08 00 02 40     nop
1036b250:       08 00 02 40     nop
1036b254:       08 00 02 40     nop

1036b258 &lt;do_sys_open&gt;:
1036b258:       08 00 02 40     nop
1036b25c:       08 03 02 41     copy r3,r1
1036b260:       6b c2 3f d9     stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264:       08 1e 02 43     copy sp,r3
1036b268:       6f c1 01 00     stw,ma r1,80(sp)

When ftrace gets enabled for this function the kernel will patch these
NOPs to:

1036b248:       10 19 57 20     &lt;address of ftrace&gt;
1036b24c:       6f c1 00 80     stw,ma r1,40(sp)
1036b250:       48 21 3f d1     ldw -18(r1),r1
1036b254:       e8 20 c0 02     bv,n r0(r1)

1036b258 &lt;do_sys_open&gt;:
1036b258:       e8 3f 1f df     b,l,n .-c,r1
1036b25c:       08 03 02 41     copy r3,r1
1036b260:       6b c2 3f d9     stw rp,-14(sp)
1036b264:       08 1e 02 43     copy sp,r3
1036b268:       6f c1 01 00     stw,ma r1,80(sp)

So the first NOP in do_sys_open() will be patched to jump backwards into
some minimal trampoline code which pushes a stackframe, saves r1 which
holds the return address, loads the address of the real ftrace function,
and branches to that location. For 64 Bit things are getting a bit more
complicated (and longer) because we must make sure that the address of
ftrace location is 8 byte aligned, and the offset passed to ldd for
fetching the address is 8 byte aligned as well.

Note that gcc has a bug which misplaces the function label, and needs a
patch to make dynamic ftrace work. See
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90751 for details.

<title>parisc: Use per-pagetable spinlock</title>

<content type='text'>
PA-RISC uses a global spinlock to protect pagetable updates in the TLB
fault handlers. When multiple cores are taking TLB faults simultaneously,
the cache line containing the spinlock becomes a bottleneck.

This patch embeds the spinlock in the top level page directory, so that
every process has its own lock. It improves performance by 30% when
doing parallel compilations.

At least on the N class systems, only one PxTLB inter processor
broadcast can be active at any one time on the Merced bus. If a Merced
bus is found, this patch serializes the TLB flushes with the
pa_tlb_flush_lock spinlock.

There are only a couple of instructions that can function as a memory
barrier on parisc.  Currently, we use the sync instruction as a memory
barrier when releasing a spinlock.  However, the ldcw instruction is a
better barrier when we have a handy memory location since it operates in
the cache on coherent machines.

This patch updates the spinlock release code to use ldcw.  I also
changed the "stw,ma" instructions to "stw" instructions as it is not an
adequate barrier.
