linux-stable.git/arch/xtensa/include/asm/processor.h, branch v4.20.2

Merge tag 'xtensa-20181115' of git://github.com/jcmvbkbc/linux-xtensa

2018-11-16T16:10:27+00:00

Pull Xtensa fixes from Max Filippov:

 - fix stack alignment for bFLT binaries.

 - fix physical-to-virtual address translation for boot parameters in
   MMUv3 256+256 and 512+512 virtual memory layouts.

xtensa: make sure bFLT stack is 16 byte aligned

2018-11-05T22:49:04+00:00

Xtensa ABI requires stack alignment to be at least 16. In noMMU
configuration ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is used to align stack. Make it at
least 16.

This fixes the following runtime error in noMMU configuration, caused by
interaction between insufficiently aligned stack and alloca function,
that results in corruption of on-stack variable in the libc function
glob:

 Caught unhandled exception in 'sh' (pid = 47, pc = 0x02d05d65)
  - should not happen
  EXCCAUSE is 15

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.

xtensa: drop unneeded platform/hardware.h headers

2018-08-20T19:28:04+00:00

platform/hardware.h no longer supply any information for processor.h,
vectors.h, setup.c or vmlinux.lds.S, don't include it.
This header is now empty in the platforms/iss, so remove it altogether.

arch: remove unused *_segments() macros/functions

2017-09-22T22:59:52+00:00

Some architectures define the no-op macros/functions copy_segments,
release_segments and forget_segments. These are used nowhere in the
tree, so removed them.

arch: remove unused macro/function thread_saved_pc()

2017-06-28T23:13:57+00:00

The only user of thread_saved_pc() in non-arch-specific code was removed
in commit 8243d5597793 ("sched/core: Remove pointless printout in
sched_show_task()").  Remove the implementations as well.

Some architectures use thread_saved_pc() in their arch-specific code.
Leave their thread_saved_pc() intact.

xtensa: clean up access to spilled registers locations

2017-05-01T17:34:43+00:00

Define macros SPILL_SLOT* that return a reference to the stack location
of the spill slot for specific register and use them instead of opencoded
address calculations.

locking/core: Provide common cpu_relax_yield() definition

2016-11-17T07:17:36+00:00

No need to duplicate the same define everywhere. Since
the only user is stop-machine and the only provider is
s390, we can use a default implementation of cpu_relax_yield()
in sched.h.

locking/core, arch: Remove cpu_relax_lowlatency()

2016-11-16T09:15:11+00:00

As there are no users left, we can remove cpu_relax_lowlatency()
implementations from every architecture.

locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()

2016-11-16T09:15:09+00:00

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.
