2015-02-27ARC: Fix thread_saved_pc()Vineet Gupta1-3/+2
The old implementation assumed that SP at the time of __switch_to() is right above pt_regs which is almost certainly not the case as there will be some stack build up between entry into kernel and leading up to __switch_to Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <[email protected]>
2015-02-27ARC: Fix KSTK_ESP()Vineet Gupta1-4/+5
/proc/<pid>/maps currently don't annotate stack vma with "[stack]" This is because KSTK_ESP ie expected to return usermode SP of tsk while currently it returns the kernel mode SP of a sleeping tsk. While the fix is trivial, we also need to adjust the ARC kernel stack unwinder to not use KSTK_SP and friends any more.

2014-07-17arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()Davidlohr Bueso1-0/+2
The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

2013-06-22ARC: pt_regs update #4: r25 saved/restored unconditionallyVineet Gupta1-3/+0
(This is a VERY IMP change for low level interrupt/exception handling) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * User 25 now saved in pt_regs->user_r25 (vs. tsk->thread_info.user_r25) * This allows Low level interrupt code to unconditionally save r25 (vs. the prev version which would only do it for U->K transition). Ofcourse for nested interrupts, only the pt_regs->user_r25 of bottom-most frame is useful. * simplifies the interrupt prologue/epilogue * Needed for ARCv2 ISA code and done here to keep design similar with ARCompact event handling ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY ------------------------------------------------------------------------- With CONFIG_ARC_CURR_IN_REG, r25 is used to cache "current" task pointer in kernel mode. So when entering kernel mode from User Mode - user r25 is specially safe-kept (it being a callee reg is NOT part of pt_regs which are saved by default on each interrupt/trap/exception) - r25 loaded with current task pointer. Further, if interrupt was taken in kernel mode, this is skipped since we know that r25 already has valid "current" pointer. With 2 level of interrupts in ARCompact ISA, detecting this is difficult but still possible, since we could be in kernel mode but r25 not already saved (in fact the stack itself might not have been switched). A. User mode B. L1 IRQ taken C. L2 IRQ taken (while on 1st line of L1 ISR) So in #C, although in kernel mode, r25 not saved (infact SP not switched at all) Given that ARcompact has manual stack switching, we could use a bit of trickey - The low level code would make sure that SP is only set to kernel mode value at the very end (after saving r25). So a non kernel mode SP, even if in kernel mode, meant r25 was NOT saved. The same paradigm won't work in ARCv2 ISA since SP is auto-switched so it's setting can't be delayed/constrained.

2013-06-22ARC: pt_regs update #3: Remove unused gutter at start of callee_regsVineet Gupta1-3/+8
This is trickier than prev two: * context switching code saves kernel mode callee regs in the format of struct callee_regs thus needs adjustment. This also reduces the height of topmost kernel stack frame by 1 word. * Since kernel stack unwinder is sensitive to height of topmost kernel stack frame, that needs a word of adjustment too. ptrace needs a bit of updating since pt_regs now diverges from user_regs_struct.

2013-06-22ARC: pt_regs update #1: Align pt_regs end with end of kernel stack pageVineet Gupta1-1/+1
Historically, pt_regs would end at offset of 1 word from end of stack page. ----------------- -> START of page (task->stack) | | | thread_info | ----------------- | | ^ ~ ~ | ~ ~ | | | | | | <---- pt_regs used to END here ----------------- | 1 word GUTTER | ----------------- -> End of page (START of kernel stack) This required special "one-off" considerations in low level code. The root cause is very likely assumption of "empty" SP by the original ARC kernel hackers, despite ARC700 always been "full" SP. So finally RIP one word gutter !

2013-02-15ARC: SMP supportVineet Gupta1-0/+8
ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions. ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This includes: -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI) -Cache coherency -load-locked/store-conditional ... The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler prologues to keep them re-entrant. Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012). Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is addressed in subsequent patches within this series.
