2010-07-09ARM: 6203/1: Make VFPv3 usable on ARMv6Tony Lindgren1-3/+7
MVFR0 and MVFR1 are only available starting with ARM1136 r1p0 release according to "B.5 VFP changes" in DDI0211F_arm1136_r1p0_trm.pdf. This is also when TLS register got added, so we can use HAS_TLS also to test for MVFR0 and MVFR1. Otherwise VFPFMRX and VFPFMXR access fails and we get: Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PC is at no_old_VFP_process+0x8/0x3c LR is at __und_svc+0x48/0x80 ...

2010-02-15ARM: vfp ptrace: no point flushing hw context for PTRACE_GETVFPREGSRussell King1-2/+23

2010-02-15ARM: vfp: fix vfp_sync_state()Russell King1-20/+16
The more I look at vfp_sync_state(), the more I believe it's trying to do its job in a really obscure way. Essentially, last_VFP_context[] tracks who owns the state in the VFP hardware. If last_VFP_context[] is the context for the thread which we're interested in, then the VFP hardware has context which is not saved in the software state - so we need to bring the software state up to date. If last_VFP_context[] is for some other thread, we really don't care what state the VFP hardware is in; it doesn't contain any information pertinent to the thread we're trying to deal with - so don't touch the hardware.

Commit c98929c07a removed the clearing of the FPSCR[31:28] bits from the vfp_raise_exceptions() function and the new bits are or'ed with the old FPSCR bits leading to unexpected results (the original commit was referring to the cumulative bits - FPSCR[4:0]).

2009-12-18ARM: Convert VFP/Crunch/XscaleCP thread_release() to exit_thread()Russell King1-8/+11
This avoids races in the VFP code where the dead thread may have state on another CPU. By moving this code to exit_thread(), we will be running as the thread, and therefore be running on the current CPU. This means that we can ensure that the only local state is accessed in the thread notifiers.

2009-12-13ARM: VFP: fix vfp thread init bug and document vfp notifier entry conditionsRussell King1-21/+62
When the VFP notifier is called for flush_thread(), we may be preemptible, meaning we might migrate to another CPU, which means referencing the current CPU number without some form of locking is invalid, and can cause data corruption. For the most cases, this isn't a problem since atomic notifiers are run under rcu lock, which for most configurations results in preemption being disabled - except when the preemptable tree-based rcu implementation is selected. Let's make it safe anyway. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2009-07-24Thumb-2: Add some .align statements to the .S filesCatalin Marinas1-0/+2
Since the Thumb-2 instructions can be 16-bit wide, data in the .text sections may not be aligned to a 32-bit word and this leads to unaligned exceptions. This patch does not affect the ARM code generation. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-05-30Fix the VFP handling on the Feroceon CPUCatalin Marinas2-0/+6
This CPU generates synchronous VFP exceptions in a non-standard way - the FPEXC.EX bit set but without the FPSCR.IXE bit being set like in the VFP subarchitecture 1 or just the FPEXC.DEX bit like in VFP subarchitecture 2. The main problem is that the faulty instruction (which needs to be emulated in software) will be restarted several times (normally until a context switch disables the VFP). This patch ensures that the VFP exception is treated as synchronous. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>
2009-04-01[ARM] 5440/1: Fix VFP state corruption due to preemption during VFP exceptionsGeorge G. Davis3-6/+35
We've observed that ARM VFP state can be corrupted during VFP exception handling when PREEMPT is enabled. The exact conditions are difficult to reproduce but appear to occur during VFP exception handling when a task causes a VFP exception which is handled via VFP_bounce and is then preempted by yet another task which in turn causes yet another VFP exception. Since the VFP_bounce code is not preempt safe, VFP state then becomes corrupt. In order to prevent preemption from occuring while handling a VFP exception, this patch disables preemption while handling VFP exceptions. Signed-off-by: George G.

2008-12-18[ARM] 5349/1: VFP: Add PM code to save and restore current VFP stateBen Dooks3-2/+58
When CONFIG_PM is selected, the VFP code does not have any handler installed to deal with either saving the VFP state of the current task, nor does it do anything to try and restore the VFP after a resume. On resume, the VFP will have been reset and the co-processor access control registers are in an indeterminate state (very probably the CP10 and CP11 the VFP uses will have been disabled by the ARM core reset). When this happens, resume will break as soon as it tries to unfreeze the tasks and restart scheduling. Add a sys device to allow us to hook the suspend call to save the current thread state if the thread is using VFP and a resume hook which restores the CP10/CP11 access and ensures the VFP is disabled so that the lazy swapping will take place on next access.

2008-01-26[ARM] 4582/2: Add support for the common VFP subarchitectureCatalin Marinas2-62/+74
This patch allows the VFP support code to run correctly on CPUs compatible with the common VFP subarchitecture specification (Appendix B in the ARM ARM v7-A and v7-R edition). It implements support for VFP subarchitecture 2 while being backwards compatible with subarchitecture 1. On VFP subarchitecture 1, the arithmetic exceptions are asynchronous (or imprecise as described in the old ARM ARM) unless the FPSCR.IXE bit is 1. The exceptional instructions can be read from FPINST and FPINST2 registers. With VFP subarchitecture 2, the arithmetic exceptions can also be synchronous and marked by the FPEXC.DEX bit (the FPEXC.EX bit is cleared). CPUs implementing the synchronous arithmetic exceptions don't have the FPINST and FPINST2 registers and accessing them would trigger and undefined exception. Note that FPEXC.EX bit has an additional meaning on subarchitecture 1 - if it isn't set, there is no additional information in FPINST and FPINST2 that needs to be saved at context switch or when lazy-loading the VFP state of a different thread. The patch also removes the clearing of the cumulative exception flags in FPSCR when additional exceptions were raised. It is up to the user application to clear these bits.

vfp_init() takes care of the condition when CONFIG_VFP=y but no real VFP device exists. However, when this condition is true, a compiler might misplace code lines in a way that will break this support.

2006-09-20[ARM] 3759/2: Remove uses of %?Daniel Jacobowitz1-4/+4
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz The ARM kernel has several uses of asm("foo%?"). %? is a GCC internal modifier used to output conditional execution predicates. However, no version of GCC supports conditionalizing asm statements. GCC 4.2 will correctly expand %? to the empty string in user asms. Earlier versions may reuse the condition from the previous instruction. In 'if (foo) asm ("bar%?");' this is somewhat likely to be right... but not reliable. So, the only safe thing to do is to remove the uses of %?. I believe the tlbflush.h occurances were supposed to be removed before, based on the comment about %? not working at the top of that file. Old versions of GCC could omit branches around user asms if the asm didn't mark the condition codes as clobbered. This problem hasn't been seen on any recent (3.x or 4.x) GCC, but it could theoretically happen. So, where %? was removed a cc clobber was added.

2006-06-22[ARM] Enable VFP to be built when non-VFP capable CPUs are selectedRussell King2-3/+6
Since we pass flags to the compiler to control code generation based on the least capable selected CPU, if we want to include VFP support, we must tweak the assembler flags to allow the VFP instructions. Moreover, we must not use the mrrc/mcrr versions since these will not be recognised by the assembler. We do not convert all instructions to the VFP-equivalent (yet) since binutils appears to barf on "fmrx rn, fpinst" and doesn't provide any other way (other than using the mrc equivalent) to encode this instruction - which is rather a problem when you have a VFP implementation which requires these instructions.

2006-06-22[ARM] Add thread_notify infrastructureRussell King1-25/+46
Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)
