ARM: vfp: Use undef hook for handling VFP exceptions

2023-05-17T13:08:22+00:00

Now that the VFP support code has been reimplemented as a C function that takes a struct pt_regs pointer and an opcode, we can use the existing undef_hook framework to deal with undef exceptions triggered by VFP instructions instead of having special handling in assembler.

ARM: vfp: Reimplement VFP exception entry in C code

2023-05-17T13:08:14+00:00

En/disabling softirqs from asm code turned out to be trickier than expected, so vfp_support_entry now returns by tail calling __local_enable_bh_ip() and passing the same arguments that a C call to local_bh_enable() would pass. However, this is slightly hacky, as we don't want to carry our own implementation of local_bh_enable(). So let's bite the bullet, and get rid of the asm logic in vfp_support_entry that reasons about whether or not to save and/or reload the VFP state, and about whether or not an FP exception is pending, and only keep the VFP loading logic as a function that is callable from C. Replicate the removed logic in vfp_entry(), and use the exact same reasoning as in the asm code. To emphasize the correspondence, retain some of the asm comments in the C version as well.

ARM: 9297/1: vfp: avoid unbalanced stack on 'success' return path

2023-05-10T09:50:25+00:00

Commit c76c6c4ecbec0deb5 ("ARM: 9294/2: vfp: Fix broken softirq handling with instrumentation enabled") updated the VFP exception entry logic to go via a C function, so that we get the compiler's version of local_bh_disable(), which may be instrumented, and isn't generally callable from assembler. However, this assumes that passing an alternative 'success' return address works in C as it does in asm, and this is only the case if the C calls in question are tail calls, as otherwise, the stack will need some unwinding as well. I have already sent patches to the list that replace most of the asm logic with C code, and so it is preferable to have a minimal fix that addresses the issue and can be backported along with the commit that it fixes to v6.3 from v6.4. Hopefully, we can land the C conversion for v6.5. So instead of passing the 'success' return address as a function argument, pass the stack address from where to pop it so that both LR and SP have the expected value.

ARM: 9294/2: vfp: Fix broken softirq handling with instrumentation enabled

2023-04-12T09:04:56+00:00

Commit 62b95a7b44d1 ("ARM: 9282/1: vfp: Manipulate task VFP state with softirqs disabled") replaced the en/disable preemption calls inside the VFP state handling code with en/disabling of soft IRQs, which is necessary to allow kernel use of the VFP/SIMD unit when handling a soft IRQ. Unfortunately, when lockdep is enabled (or other instrumentation that enables TRACE_IRQFLAGS), the disable path implemented in asm fails to perform the lockdep and RCU related bookkeeping, resulting in spurious warnings and other badness. Set let's rework the VFP entry code a little bit so we can make the local_bh_disable() call from C, with all the instrumentations that happen to have been configured. Calling local_bh_enable() can be done from asm, as it is a simple wrapper around __local_bh_enable_ip(), which is always a callable function.

In preparation for reimplementing the do_vfp()->vfp_support_entry() handover in C code, switch to using R3 to pass the 'success' return address, rather than R9, as it cannot be used for parameter passing.

ARM: 9292/1: vfp: Pass thread_info pointer to vfp_support_entry

2023-04-11T10:07:08+00:00

Instead of dereferencing thread_info in do_vfp, pass the thread_info pointer to vfp_support_entry via R1. That way, we only use a single caller save register, which makes it easier to convert do_vfp to C code in a subsequent patch. Note that, unlike the CPU number, which can change due to preemption, passing the thread_info pointer can safely be done with preemption enabled.

ARM: 9282/1: vfp: Manipulate task VFP state with softirqs disabled

2023-01-11T16:21:20+00:00

In a subsequent patch, we will relax the kernel mode NEON policy, and permit kernel mode NEON to be used not only from task context, as is permitted today, but also from softirq context. Given that softirqs may trigger over the back of any IRQ unless they are explicitly disabled, we need to address the resulting races in the VFP state handling, by disabling softirq processing in two distinct but related cases: - kernel mode NEON will leave the FPU disabled after it completes, so any kernel code sequence that enables the FPU and subsequently accesses its registers needs to disable softirqs until it completes; - kernel_neon_begin() will preserve the userland VFP state in memory, and if it interrupts the ordinary VFP state preserve sequence, the latter will resume execution with the VFP registers corrupted, and happily continue saving them to memory. Given that disabling softirqs also disables preemption, we can replace the existing preempt_disable/enable occurrences in the VFP state handling asm code with new macros that dis/enable softirqs instead. In the VFP state handling C code, add local_bh_disable/enable() calls in those places where the VFP state is preserved. One thing to keep in mind is that, once we allow NEON use in softirq context, the result of any such interruption is that the FPEXC_EN bit in the FPEXC register will be cleared, and vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] will be NULL. This means that any sequence that [conditionally] clears FPEXC_EN and/or sets vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] to NULL does not need to run with softirqs disabled, as the result will be the same. Furthermore, the handling of THREAD_NOTIFY_SWITCH is guaranteed to run with IRQs disabled, and so it does not need protection from softirq interruptions either.

ARM: 9044/1: vfp: use undef hook for VFP support detection

2020-12-21T11:19:19+00:00

Commit f77ac2e378be9dd6 ("ARM: 9030/1: entry: omit FP emulation for UND exceptions taken in kernel mode") failed to take into account that there is in fact a case where we relied on this code path: during boot, the VFP detection code issues a read of FPSID, which will trigger an undef exception on cores that lack VFP support. So let's reinstate this logic using an undef hook which is registered only for the duration of the initcall to vpf_init(), and which sets VFP_arch to a non-zero value - as before - if no VFP support is present.

ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+

2014-07-18T11:29:04+00:00

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.
