This patch extends sigcontext in order to hold the most significant 64 bits of each vector register in addition to the MSA control & status register. The least significant 64 bits are already saved as the scalar FP context. This makes things a little awkward since the least & most significant 64 bits of each vector register are not contiguous in memory. Thus the copy_u & insert instructions are used to transfer the values of the most significant 64 bits via GP registers. Signed-off-by:

No current systems implementing MSA include support for vector register partitioning which makes it somewhat difficult to implement support for it in the kernel. Thus for the moment the kernel includes no such support. However if the kernel were to be run on a system which implemented register partitioning then it would not function correctly, mishandling MSA disabled exceptions. Print a warning if run on a system with vector register partitioning implemented to indicate this problem should it occur. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds a simple handler for MSA FP exceptions which delivers a SIGFPE to the running task. In the future it should probably be extended to re-execute the instruction with the MSACSR.NX bit set in order to generate results for any elements which did not cause an exception before delivering the SIGFPE signal.

This patch adds support for context switching the MSA vector registers. These 128 bit vector registers are aliased with the FP registers - an FP register accesses the least significant bits of the vector register with which it is aliased (ie. the register with the same index). Due to both this & the requirement that the scalar FPU must be 64-bit (FR=1) if enabled at the same time as MSA the kernel will enable MSA & scalar FP at the same time for tasks which use MSA. If we restore the MSA vector context then we might as well enable the scalar FPU since the reason it was left disabled was to allow for lazy FP context restoring - but we just restored the FP context as it's a subset of the vector context. If we restore the FP context and have previously used MSA then we have to restore the whole vector context anyway (see comment in enable_restore_fp_context for details) so similarly we might as well enable MSA. Thus if a task does not use MSA then it will continue to behave as without this patch - the scalar FP context will be saved & restored as usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save & restore the vector context forever more. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for probing the MSAP bit within the Config3 register in order to detect the presence of the MSA ASE. Presence of the ASE will be indicated in /proc/cpuinfo. The value of the MSA implementation register will be displayed at boot to aid debugging and verification of a correct setup, as is done for the FPU. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces definitions for the MSA control registers and functions which allow access to both the control & vector registers. If the toolchain being used to build the kernel includes support for MSA then this patch will make use of that support & use MSA instructions directly. However toolchain support for MSA is very new & far from a point where it can be reasonably expected that everyone building the kernel uses a toolchain with support. Thus fallbacks using .word assembler directives are also provided for now as a temporary measure. Signed-off-by:

When saving or restoring scalar FP context we want to access the least significant 64 bits of each FP register. When the FP registers are 64 bits wide that is trivially the start of the registers value in memory. However when the FP registers are wider this equivalence will no longer be true for big endian systems. Define a new set of offset macros for the least significant 64 bits of each saved FP register within thread context, and make use of them when saving and restoring scalar FP context. Signed-off-by:

When we want to access 64-bit FP register values we can only treat consecutive registers as being consecutive in memory when the width of an FP register equals 64 bits. This assumption will not remain true once MSA support is introduced, so provide a code path which copies each 64 bit FP register value in turn when the width of an FP register differs from 64 bits.

This code assumed that saved FP registers are 64 bits wide, an assumption which will no longer be true once MSA is introduced. This patch modifies the code to copy the lower 64 bits of each register in turn, which is safe for any FP register width >= 64 bits. Signed-off-by:

The upper bits of an FP register are architecturally defined as unpredictable following an instructions which only writes the lower bits. The prior behaviour of the kernel is to leave them unmodified. This patch modifies that to clear the upper bits to zero. This is what the MSA architecture reference manual specifies should happen for its wider registers and is still permissible for scalar FP instructions given the bits unpredictability there.

When a task which has used the FPU at some point in its past takes a signal the kernel would previously always require the task to take ownership of the FPU whilst setting up or restoring from the sigcontext. That means that if the task has not used the FPU within this timeslice then the kernel would enable the FPU, restore the task's FP context into FPU registers and then save them into the sigcontext. This seems inefficient, and if the signal handler doesn't use FP then enabling the FPU & the extra memory accesses are entirely wasted work. This patch modifies the sigcontext setup & restore code to copy directly between the tasks saved FP context & the sigcontext for any tasks which have used FP in the past but are not currently the FPU owner (ie. have not used FP in this timeslice).

These functions aren't directly related to the FPU emulator at all, they simply copy between a thread's saved context & a sigcontext. Thus move them to the appropriate signal files & rename them accordingly. This makes it clearer that the functions don't require the FPU emulator in any way. Signed-off-by:

This patch replaces the fpureg_t typedef with a "union fpureg" enabling easier access to 32 & 64 bit values. This allows the access macros used in cp1emu.c to be simplified somewhat. It will also make it easier to expand the width of the FP registers as will be done in a future patch in order to support the 128 bit registers introduced with MSA. No behavioural change is intended by this patch. Signed-off-by:

When userland uses syscall() to perform an indirect system call the actually system call that needs to be checked by the filter is on the first argument. The kernel code needs to handle this case by looking at the original syscall number in v0 and if it's NR_syscall, then it needs to examine the first argument to identify the real system call that will be executed. Similarly, we need to 'virtually' shift the syscall() arguments so the syscall_get_arguments() function can fetch the correct arguments for the indirect system call. Signed-off-by:

This effectively renames __syscall_get_arch to syscall_get_arch and implements a compatible interface for the seccomp API. The seccomp code (kernel/seccomp.c) expects a syscall_get_arch function to be defined for every architecture, so we drop the leading underscores from the existing function. This also makes use of the 'task' argument to determine the type the process instead of assuming the process has the same characteristics as the kernel it's running on. Signed-off-by:

The syscall_rollback function is used by seccomp-bpf but it was never added for MIPS. It doesn't need to do anything as none of the registers are clobbered if the system call has been denied by the seccomp filter. Signed-off-by:

CONFIG_MIPS_CPS is a better option for systems where it is supported, which as far as I am aware should be all systems where CONFIG_MIPS_CMP could provide any value (ie. where there are multiple cores for YAMON to bring up). This option is therefore deprecated, and marked as such. It is left intact for the time being in order to provide a fallback should someone find a system where CONFIG_MIPS_CPS will not function (ie. where the reset vector cannot be moved), and should be removed entirely in the future assuming that does not happen.

Commit f55afb0969cc "MIPS: Clean up MIPS MT and CMP configuration options." introduced a dependency upon MIPS_MT_SMP (ie. SMVP) for the MIPS_CMP (ie. CMP framework support) Kconfig option. It did not specify why, and that dependency is bogus. It is perfectly valid to have a multi-core system with the YAMON bootloader but without MT support - an example of this would be any multi-core proAptiv bitstream running on a Malta. Forcing MT support to be enabled in a kernel for such a system is incorrect. I suspect that the dependency was actually meant to reflect the fact that YAMON will only bind 1 TC per VPE on an MT system, and only describe those 1:1 TC:VPE pairs as CPUs through the AMON interface. Thus an SMTC kernel makes little sense on a system using MIPS_CMP, and the Kconfig dependencies should reflect that rather than introducing the bogus SMVP dependency. Signed-off-by:

The prior help text introduced in commit f55afb0969cc "MIPS: Clean up MIPS MT and CMP configuration options." reads as though this option enables the kernel to make use of the CM hardware, which is not true. What it actually does is allow the kernel to interact with the YAMON bootloader which actually interacts with the CM hardware to bring up secondary cores. Re-introduce the word "framework" which that commit removed to avoid misleading people. Signed-off-by:

This patch simply attempts to register the MIPS Coherent Processing System SMP implementation when it is enabled. If registering that fails for some reason (like the Kconfig option being disabled or a lack of hardware support) then we fall back to the same SMP implementations as before. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces a new SMP implementation for systems implementing the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture. The kernel will make use of the Coherence Manager, Cluster Power Controller & Global Interrupt Controller in order to detect, bring up & make use of other cores in the system. SMTC is not supported, so only a single TC per VPE in the system is used. That is, this option enables an SMVP style setup but across multiple cores. Signed-off-by:

The vpe_id field of struct cpuinfo_mips is only present when one of CONFIG_MIPS_MT_{SMP,SMTC} is enabled. That means that any code accessing which may compile without MT is currently forced to use an #ifdef. Instead this patch provides an accessor macro, #ifdef'd appropriately to prevent further #ifdef's elsewhere. Signed-off-by:

The kernel currently only probes for a MIPS Coherence Manager in the Malta interrupt code in order to detect & enable the GIC. However CM is not Malta-specific, so this should really be more generic. This patch introduces some non-Malta-specific code which probes for a CM and performs some basic initialisation. A new header, with temporarily duplicated register definitions, is introduced in order to: 1) Allow the new definitions to be correct with regards to the CM documentation, as many of those in gcmpregs.h aren't. 2) Allow switching away from the REG() macro used via a few layers of nested macros in order to access registers in gcmpregs.h. This patch instead introduced accessor functions akin to the {read,write}_c0_* functions used for cop0 registers. 3) Allow users of the CM to be migrated one by one. 4) Switch from the name 'GCMP' to 'CM' since the Coherence Manager is what this code is actually dealing with.
