2012-12-05arm64: move FP-SIMD save/restore code to a macroMarc Zyngier
In order to be able to reuse the save-restore code in KVM, move it to a pair of macros, similar to what the 32bit code does. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-12-05arm64: hyp: initialize vttbr_el2 to zeroMarc Zyngier
The architecture doesn't mandate any reset value for vttbr_el2. Better set it to a known value before some HYP code gets confused. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-12-05arm64: add hypervisor stubMarc Zyngier
If booted in EL2, install an dummy hypervisor whose only purpose is to be replaced by a full fledged one. A minimal API allows to: - obtain the current HYP vectors (__hyp_get_vectors) - set new HYP vectors (__hyp_set_vectors) Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-12-05arm64: record boot mode when entering the kernelMarc Zyngier
To be able to signal the availability of EL2 to other parts of the kernel, record the boot mode. Once booted, two predicates indicate if HYP mode is available, and if not, whether this is due to a boot mode mismatch or not.

2012-12-05arm64: generic timer: use virtual counter instead of physical at EL0Will Deacon
We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a hypervisor. This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the virtual offset is initialised to zero.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: defer shifting of nanosecond component of timespecWill Deacon
Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time. This patch defers the timespec shifting until after the final value has been computed.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: rework __do_get_tspec register allocation and return shiftWill Deacon
In preparation for sub-ns precision in the vdso timespec maths, change the __do_get_tspec register allocation so that we return the clocksource shift value instead of the unused xtime tspec. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2012-12-05arm64: vdso: check sequence counter even for coarse realtime operationsWill Deacon
When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards. This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code, particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: fix clocksource mask when extracting bottom 56 bitsWill Deacon
The generic timer clocksource has 56 bits of precision and as such must be masked appropriately after we have read it. The current mask generated by a movn instruction is off by 4 bits, so we accidentally include the top 4 bits in the final value. This patch fixes the broken mask.

2012-11-23arm64: signal: return struct rt_sigframe from get_sigframeWill Deacon
We only have one type of frame (rt_sigframe) for arm64, so just return that type directly and dispense with the framesize argument, which is presumably a hangover from code copied from arch/arm/.

2012-11-23arm64: signal: push the unwinding prologue on the signal stackWill Deacon
To allow debuggers to unwind through signal frames, we create a fake stack unwinding prologue containing the link register and frame pointer of the interrupted context. The signal frame is then offset by 16 bytes to make room for the two saved registers which are pushed onto the frame of the *interrupted* context, rather than placed directly above the signal stack. This doesn't work when an alternative signal stack is set up for a SEGV handler, which is raised in response to RLIMIT_STACK being reached. In this case, we try to push the unwinding prologue onto the full stack and subsequently take a fault which we fail to resolve, causing setup_return to return -EFAULT and handle_signal to force_sigsegv on the current task. This patch fixes the problem by including the unwinding prologue as part of the rt_sigframe definition, which is populated during setup_sigframe, ensuring that it always ends up on the signal stack.

struct user_fp does not exist for arm64, so use struct user_fpsimd_state instead for the ELF core dumping definitions.

2012-11-08arm64: perf: use architected event for CPU cycle counterWill Deacon
We currently use a fake event encoding (0xFF) to indicate CPU cycles so that we don't waste an event counter and can target the hardware cycle counter instead. The problem with this approach is that the event space defined by the architecture permits an implementation to allocate 0xFF for some other event. This patch uses the architected cycle counter encoding (0x11) so that we avoid potentially clashing with event encodings on future CPU implementations.

2012-10-18arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpointsWill Deacon
If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint. This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further sanity-checking is required.

2012-10-18arm64: Ignore memory blocks below PHYS_OFFSETCatalin Marinas
According to Documentation/arm64/booting.txt, the kernel image must be loaded at a pre-defined offset from the start of RAM so that the kernel can calculate PHYS_OFFSET based on this address.

2012-10-13vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return itJeff Layton
getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to the string. For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled, we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not need to recopy it from userspace. This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it. Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes convenient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the canonical set of system calls.

2012-09-17arm64: SMP supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds SMP initialisation and spinlocks implementation for AArch64. The spinlock support uses the new load-acquire/store-release instructions to avoid explicit barriers. The architecture also specifies that an event is automatically generated when clearing the exclusive monitor state to wake up processors in WFE, so there is no need for an explicit DSB/SEV instruction sequence. The SEVL instruction is used to set the exclusive monitor locally as there is no conditional WFE and a branch is more expensive. For the SMP booting protocol, see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.
