powerpc/32s: get rid of CPU_FTR_601 feature

2019-08-28T13:19:33+00:00

Now that 601 is exclusive from other 6xx, CPU_FTR_601 and
associated fixups are useless.

Drop this feature and use #ifdefs instead.

powerpc/32: replace LOAD_MSR_KERNEL() by LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()

2019-08-27T03:03:36+00:00

LOAD_MSR_KERNEL() and LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() are doing the same thing
in the same way. Drop LOAD_MSR_KERNEL()

powerpc: Wire up clone3 syscall

2019-07-28T23:34:27+00:00

Wire up the new clone3 syscall added in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork:
add clone3").

This requires a ppc_clone3 wrapper, in order to save the non-volatile
GPRs before calling into the generic syscall code. Otherwise we hit
the BUG_ON in CHECK_FULL_REGS in copy_thread().

Lightly tested using Christian's test code on a Power8 LE VM.

powerpc/entry: Remove unneeded need_resched() loop

2019-05-02T16:54:57+00:00

Since the enabling and disabling of IRQs within preempt_schedule_irq()
is contained in a need_resched() loop, we don't need the outer arch
code loop.

powerpc/32: Don't add dummy frames when calling trace_hardirqs_on/off

2019-05-02T15:20:28+00:00

No need to add dummy frames when calling trace_hardirqs_on or
trace_hardirqs_off. GCC properly handles empty stacks.

In addition, powerpc doesn't set CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, therefore
__builtin_return_address(1..) returns NULL at all time. So the
dummy frames are definitely unneeded here.

In the meantime, avoid reading memory for loading r1 with a value
we already know.

powerpc/32: don't do syscall stuff in transfer_to_handler

2019-05-02T15:20:27+00:00

As syscalls are now handled via a fast entry path, syscall related
actions can be removed from the generic transfer_to_handler path.

powerpc/32: implement fast entry for syscalls on BOOKE

2019-05-02T15:20:27+00:00

This patch implements a fast entry for syscalls.

Syscalls don't have to preserve non volatile registers except LR.

This patch then implement a fast entry for syscalls, where
volatile registers get clobbered.

As this entry is dedicated to syscall it always sets MSR_EE
and warns in case MSR_EE was previously off

It also assumes that the call is always from user, system calls are
unexpected from kernel.

powerpc: Fix 32-bit handling of MSR_EE on exceptions

2019-05-02T15:20:27+00:00

[text mostly copied from benh's RFC/WIP]

ppc32 are still doing something rather gothic and wrong on 32-bit
which we stopped doing on 64-bit a while ago.

We have that thing where some handlers "copy" the EE value from the
original stack frame into the new MSR before transferring to the
handler.

Thus for a number of exceptions, we enter the handlers with interrupts
enabled.

This is rather fishy, some of the stuff that handlers might do early
on such as irq_enter/exit or user_exit, context tracking, etc...
should be run with interrupts off afaik.

Generally our handlers know when to re-enable interrupts if needed.

The problem we were having is that we assumed these interrupts would
return with interrupts enabled. However that isn't the case.

Instead, this patch changes things so that we always enter exception
handlers with interrupts *off* with the notable exception of syscalls
which are special (and get a fast path).
