2014-08-02MIPS: Initialise MAARsPaul Burton2-0/+142
Add initialisation for Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers. Generic code cannot know the platform-specific requirements with regards to speculative accesses, so it simply calls a platform_maar_init function which platforms with MAARs are expected to implement by calling the provided write_maar_pair function & returning the number of MAAR pairs used. A weak default implementation will simply use no MAAR pairs. Any present but unused MAAR pairs are then marked invalid, effectively disabling them. The end result of this patch is that MAARs are all marked invalid, until platforms implement the platform_maar_init function.

Add accessor macros for the Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers (MAARs), the bits contained within the MAARs & the Config5.MRP bit indicating their presence. The only current use of the MAARs is to enable speculative accesses to regions of memory. Besides the potential performance benefits of speculative accesses, they are a requirement for the P5600 core to handle non-128b-aligned MSA vector loads & stores rather than generating an address error.

2014-08-02MIPS: mark MSA experimentalPaul Burton1-2/+1
In light of the commit 16f77de82f2d (Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals") the MSA support in the kernel is incomplete. Until the replacement for the former sigcontext changes is agreed upon and in tree, mark MSA experimental & disable it by default. MSA is only implemented by one CPU supported by the kernel, the P5600. The P5600 is a 32 bit core, and thus MSA can only be used when the experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT option is enabled. Therefore MSA is only being used in experimental settings anyway and this change doesn't actually make any difference beyond clarifying the state of MSA support.

2014-08-02MIPS: consistently clear MSA flags when starting & copying threadsPaul Burton1-0/+3
The TIF_MSA_CTX_LIVE flag (indicating that a task has MSA context which needs to be preserved) was being cleared in start_thread, but the TIF_USEDMSA flag (indicating that a task has used MSA in this timeslice) was not. In copy_thread neither flag was cleared, but both need to be. Without clearing these flags the kernel will proceed to attempt to save MSA context when the task is context switched out, and if the task had not used MSA in the meantime then it will fail because MSA or the FPU are disabled. The end result is typically: do_cpu invoked from kernel context![#1]: CPU: 0 PID: 99 Comm: sh Not tainted 3.16.0-rc4-00025-g6dc9476-dirty #88 task: 8f23dc60 ti: 8f1d8000 task.ti: 8f1d8000 ...

2014-08-02MIPS: 16 byte align MSA vector contextPaul Burton1-2/+8
The MSA specification upon first read appears to suggest that it is safe to perform vector loads & stores with arbitrary alignment. However it leaves provision for "address-dependent exceptions"... Align the vector context to a 16 byte boundary to ensure that the kernel cannot cause any such exceptions. Note that the fpu field of struct thread_struct was already at a 16 byte boundary within the struct, the introduction of FPU_ALIGN simply makes the requirement explicit. The only part of this impacting the generated kernel binary is ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN.

2014-08-02MIPS: ensure MSA gets disabled during bootPaul Burton1-3/+2
The kernel relies upon MSA being disabled when a task begins running, so that it can initialise or restore context in response to the resulting MSA disabled exception. Previously the state of MSA following boot was left as it was before the kernel ran, where MSA could potentially have been enabled. Explicitly disable it during boot to prevent any problems. As a nice side effect the code reads a little better too.

2014-08-02MIPS: fix MSA context for tasks which don't use FP firstPaul Burton1-0/+2

2014-08-02MIPS: init upper 64b of vector registers when MSA is first usedPaul Burton4-9/+56
When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper 64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant 64b.

2014-08-02MIPS: mm: Use the Hardware Page Table Walker if the core supports itMarkos Chandras4-0/+140
The Hardware Page Table Walker aims to speed up TLB refill exceptions by handling them in the hardware level instead of having a software TLB refill handler. However, a TLB refill exception can still be thrown in certain cases such as, synchronus exceptions, or address translation or memory errors during the HTW operation. As a result of which, HTW must not be considered a complete replacement for the TLB refill software handler, but rather a fast-path for it. For HTW to work, the PWBase register must contain the task's page global directory address so the HTW will kick in on TLB refill exceptions. Due to HTW being a separate engine embedded deep in the CPU pipeline, we need to restart the HTW everytime a PTE changes to avoid HTW fetching a old entry from the page tables. It's also necessary to restart the HTW on context switches to prevent it from fetching a page from the previous process. Finally, since HTW is using the entryhi register to write the translations to the TLB, it's necessary to stop the HTW whenever the entryhi changes (eg for tlb probe perations) and enable it back afterwards. == Performance == The following trivial test was used to measure the performance of the HTW. Using the same root filesystem, the following command was used to measure the number of tlb refill handler executions with and without (using 'nohtw' kernel parameter) HTW support. The kernel was modified to use a scratch register as a counter for the TLB refill exceptions. find /usr -type f -exec ls -lh {} \; HTW Enabled: TLB refill exceptions: 12306 HTW Disabled: TLB refill exceptions: 17805 Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/7336/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Also, add a new kernel parameter called 'nohtw' allowing the user to disable the htw support and fallback to the software refill handler.

2014-08-02MIPS: cpu-info: Change the cpu options variable to unsigned long longMarkos Chandras2-29/+29
Long integers which are 4 bytes in MIPS32 can't hold new CPU options anymore, so the type of the 'options' variable is changed to unsigned long long which allows 32 more cpu options to be defined for MIPS32 Also, re-arrange the 'options' struct member to avoid potential 4-byte alignment gap in the middle of the struct.

2014-08-02MIPS: perf: Add hardware events for P5600James Hogan1-0/+21
Add cases in perf_event_mipsxx.c for CPU_P5600. All the event numbers listed for proAptiv also apply to P5600, so we use mipsxxcore_event_map2 and mipsxxcore_cache_map2 too, but the P5600 has 8-bit event numbers so bit 8 (256) of the user ABI config is used for the parity bit (to specify odd/even counter events).

2014-08-02MIPS: perf: Allow for more perf eventsJames Hogan1-8/+13
In mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event(), set event_id to base_id after the cpu type conditional code to allow that code to override the base_id to use more bits from the config and a higher bit for parity. This will allow cores with up to 512 events between all even/odd counters (an 8-bit event id) such as P5600 to use bit 8 for parity.

2014-08-02MIPS: asm/reg.h: Move to uapiAlex Smith2-206/+207
This header defines an exported interface (the register layout used in core dumps and the GP regset accessible with PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGSET), therefore belongs in uapi.

2014-08-02MIPS: Remove asm/user.hAlex Smith5-61/+3
The struct user definition in this file is not used anywhere (the ELF core dumper does not use that format). Therefore, remove the header and instead enable the asm-generic user.h which is an empty header to satisfy a few generic headers which still try to include user.h.

2014-08-02MIPS: ptrace: Fix user pt_regs definition, use in ptrace_{get, set}regs()Alex Smith4-28/+35
In uapi/asm/ptrace.h, a user version of pt_regs is defined wrapped in ifndef __KERNEL__. This structure definition does not match anything used by any kernel API, in particular it does not match the format used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. Therefore, replace the structure definition with one matching what is used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. The format used by these is the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit. Also, change the implementation of PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS to use this new structure definition. The structure is renamed to user_pt_regs when __KERNEL__ is defined to avoid conflicts with the kernel's own pt_regs.
