parisc: Fix get_user() for 64-bit value on 32-bit kernel

2017-04-16T08:26:27+00:00

This fixes a bug in which the upper 32-bits of a 64-bit value which is
read by get_user() was lost on a 32-bit kernel.
While touching this code, split out pre-loading of %sr2 space register
and clean up code indent.

parisc: fix bugs in pa_memcpy

2017-04-15T15:24:05+00:00

The patch 554bfeceb8a22d448cd986fc9efce25e833278a1 ("parisc: Fix access
fault handling in pa_memcpy()") reimplements the pa_memcpy function.
Unfortunatelly, it makes the kernel unbootable. The crash happens in the
function ide_complete_cmd where memcpy is called with the same source
and destination address.

This patch fixes a few bugs in pa_memcpy:

* When jumping to .Lcopy_loop_16 for the first time, don't skip the
  instruction "ldi 31,t0" (this bug made the kernel unbootable)
* Use the COND macro when comparing length, so that the comparison is
  64-bit (a theoretical issue, in case the length is greater than
  0xffffffff)
* Don't use the COND macro after the "extru" instruction (the PA-RISC
  specification says that the upper 32-bits of extru result are undefined,
  although they are set to zero in practice)
* Fix exception addresses in .Lcopy16_fault and .Lcopy8_fault
* Rename .Lcopy_loop_4 to .Lcopy_loop_8 (so that it is consistent with
  .Lcopy8_fault)

parisc: Avoid stalled CPU warnings after system shutdown

2017-03-29T19:50:38+00:00

Commit 73580dac7618 ("parisc: Fix system shutdown halt") introduced an endless
loop for systems which don't provide a software power off function.  But the
soft lockup detector will detect this and report stalled CPUs after some time.
Avoid those unwanted warnings by disabling the soft lockup detector.

parisc: Clean up fixup routines for get_user()/put_user()

2017-03-29T19:50:36+00:00

Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be
simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling.

This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such
that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register
%r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace.  Additionally the fixup
routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call.
The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction.

This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation:
1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size.
2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped.
3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This
   helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler
   statements.
4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer.
5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

parisc: Fix access fault handling in pa_memcpy()

2017-03-29T19:49:02+00:00

pa_memcpy() is the major memcpy implementation in the parisc kernel which is
used to do any kind of userspace/kernel memory copies.

Al Viro noticed various bugs in the implementation of pa_mempcy(), most notably
that in case of faults it may report back to have copied more bytes than it
actually did.

Fixing those bugs is quite hard in the C-implementation, because the compiler
is messing around with the registers and we are not guaranteed that specific
variables are always in the same processor registers. This makes proper fault
handling complicated.

This patch implements pa_memcpy() in assembler. That way we have correct fault
handling and adding a 64-bit copy routine was quite easy.

Runtime tested with 32- and 64bit kernels.

parisc: Fix system shutdown halt

2017-03-18T16:27:45+00:00

On those parisc machines which don't provide a software power off
function, the system currently kills the init process at the end of a
shutdown and unexpectedly restarts insteads of halting.
Fix it by adding a loop which will not return.

parisc: Avoid compiler warnings with access_ok()

2017-03-15T20:51:17+00:00

Commit 09b871ffd4d8 (parisc: Define access_ok() as macro) missed to mark uaddr
as used, which then gives compiler warnings about unused variables.

Fix it by comparing uaddr to uaddr which then gets optimized away by the
compiler.

parisc: Optimize flush_kernel_vmap_range and invalidate_kernel_vmap_range

2017-03-15T19:57:33+00:00

The previously submitted patch did not resolve the random segmentation
faults observed on the phantom buildd system.  There are still
unresolved problems with the Debian 4.8 and 4.9 kernels on C8000.

The attached patch removes the flush of the offset map pages and does a
whole data cache flush for large ranges.  No other arch flushes the
offset map in these routines as far as I can tell.

I have not observed any random segmentation faults on rp3440 in two
weeks of testing with 4.10.0 and 4.10.1.
