ARC: Improve cmpxchg syscall implementation

2018-07-09T18:22:05+00:00

This is used in configs lacking hardware atomics to emulate atomic r-m-w
for user space, implemented by disabling preemption in kernel.

However there are issues in current implementation:

1. Process not terminated if invalid user pointer passed:
   i.e. __get_user() failed.

2. The reason for this patch was __put_user() failure not being handled
   either, specifically for the COW break scenario.
   The zero page is initially wired up and read from __get_user()
   succeeds. A subsequent write by __put_user() induces a
   Protection Violation, but COW can't finish as Linux page fault
   handler is disabled due to preempt disable.
   And what's worse is we silently return the stale value to user space.
   Fix this specific case by re-enabling preemption and explicitly
   fixing up the fault and retrying the whole sequence over.

bpf/error-inject/kprobes: Clear current_kprobe and enable preempt in kprobe

2018-06-21T10:33:19+00:00

Clear current_kprobe and enable preemption in kprobe
even if pre_handler returns !0.

This simplifies function override using kprobes.

Jprobe used to require to keep the preemption disabled and
keep current_kprobe until it returned to original function
entry. For this reason kprobe_int3_handler() and similar
arch dependent kprobe handers checks pre_handler result
and exit without enabling preemption if the result is !0.

After removing the jprobe, Kprobes does not need to
keep preempt disabled even if user handler returns !0
anymore.

But since the function override handler in error-inject
and bpf is also returns !0 if it overrides a function,
to balancing the preempt count, it enables preemption
and reset current kprobe by itself.

That is a bad design that is very buggy. This fixes
such unbalanced preempt-count and current_kprobes setting
in kprobes, bpf and error-inject.

Note: for powerpc and x86, this removes all preempt_disable
from kprobe_ftrace_handler because ftrace callbacks are
called under preempt disabled.

ARC/kprobes: Don't call the ->break_handler() in ARC kprobes code

2018-06-21T10:33:13+00:00

Don't call the ->break_handler() from the ARC kprobes code,
because it was only used by jprobes which got removed.

ARC: Enable machine_desc->init_per_cpu for !CONFIG_SMP

2018-06-20T23:12:06+00:00

machine_desc->init_per_cpu() hook is supposed to be per cpu
initialization and would seem to apply  equally to UP and/or SMP.
Infact the comment in header file seems to suggest it works for
UP too, which was not the case and this patch.

This enables !CONFIG_SMP build for platforms such as hsdk.

ARC: setup cpu possible mask according to possible-cpus dts property

2018-02-28T18:45:32+00:00

As we have option in u-boot to set CPU mask for running linux,
we want to pass information to kernel about CPU cores should
be brought up. So we patch kernel dtb in u-boot to set
possible-cpus property.

This also allows us to have correctly setuped MCIP debug mask.
