MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task stack

2017-03-22T10:53:57+00:00

When the separate IRQ stack was introduced, stack unwinding only
proceeded as far as the top of the IRQ stack, leading to kernel
backtraces being less useful, lacking the trace of what was interrupted.

Fix this by providing a means for the kernel to unwind the IRQ stack
onto the interrupted task stack. The processor state is saved to the
kernel task stack on interrupt. The IRQ_STACK_START macro reserves an
unsigned long at the top of the IRQ stack where the interrupted task
stack pointer can be saved. After the active stack is switched to the
IRQ stack, save the interrupted tasks stack pointer to the reserved
location.

Fix the stack unwinding code to look for the frame being the top of the
IRQ stack and if so get the next frame from the saved location. The
existing test does not work with the separate stack since the ra is no
longer pointed at ret_from_{irq,exception}.

The test to stop unwinding the stack 32 bytes from the top of a stack
must be modified to allow unwinding to continue up to the location of
the saved task stack pointer when on the IRQ stack. The low / high marks
of the stack are set depending on whether the sp is on an irq stack or
not.

MIPS: Move register dump routines out of ptrace code

2017-01-03T15:34:44+00:00

Current register dump methods for MIPS are implemented inside ptrace
methods, but there will be other uses in the kernel for them, so keep
them separately in process.c and use those definitions for ptrace
instead.

MIPS: SMP: Use a completion event to signal CPU up

2017-01-03T15:34:38+00:00

If a secondary CPU failed to start, for any reason, the CPU requesting
the secondary to start would get stuck in the loop waiting for the
secondary to be present in the cpu_callin_map.

Rather than that, use a completion event to signal that the secondary
CPU has started and is waiting to synchronise counters.

Since the CPU presence will no longer be marked in cpu_callin_map,
remove the redundant test from arch_cpu_idle_dead().

MIPS: Handle microMIPS jumps in the same way as MIPS32/MIPS64 jumps

2017-01-03T15:34:37+00:00

is_jump_ins() checks for plain jump ("j") instructions since commit
e7438c4b893e ("MIPS: Fix sibling call handling in get_frame_info") but
that commit didn't make the same change to the microMIPS code, leaving
it inconsistent with the MIPS32/MIPS64 code. Handle the microMIPS
encoding of the jump instruction too such that it behaves consistently.

MIPS: Calculate microMIPS ra properly when unwinding the stack

2017-01-03T15:34:37+00:00

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a
stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction,
treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works
for MIPS32 & MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's
incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we
typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS.

Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address
offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in
the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the
ra/$31 register.

With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the
microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce:

2017-01-03T15:34:36+00:00

is_jump_ins() checks 16b instruction fields without verifying that the
instruction is indeed 16b, as is done by is_ra_save_ins() &

MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handling of microMIPS function size

2017-01-03T15:34:36+00:00

get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128
instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not
reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since
we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the
function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In
microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length.

Fix this by instead checking whether the pointer to the current
instruction has reached the end of the function, and use max_insns as a
simple constant to check the number of iterations against.
