This keeps usage coordinated for hugetlb and indirect entries, which should make entry selection more predictable and probably improve overall performance when mixing the two. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

There are a few things that make the existing hw tablewalk handlers unsuitable for e6500: - Indirect entries go in TLB1 (though the resulting direct entries go in TLB0). - It has threads, but no "tlbsrx." -- so we need a spinlock and a normal "tlbsx". Because we need this lock, hardware tablewalk is mandatory on e6500 unless we want to add spinlock+tlbsx to the normal bolted TLB miss handler. - TLB1 has no HES (nor next-victim hint) so we need software round robin (TODO: integrate this round robin data with hugetlb/KVM) - The existing tablewalk handlers map half of a page table at a time, because IBM hardware has a fixed 1MiB indirect page size. e6500 has variable size indirect entries, with a minimum of 2MiB. So we can't do the half-page indirect mapping, and even if we could it would be less efficient than mapping the full page. - Like on e5500, the linear mapping is bolted, so we don't need the overhead of supporting nested tlb misses. Note that hardware tablewalk does not work in rev1 of e6500. We do not expect to support e6500 rev1 in mainline Linux.

There is no barrier between something like ioremap() writing to a PTE, and returning the value to a caller that may then store the pointer in a place that is visible to other CPUs. Such callers generally don't perform barriers of their own. Even if callers of ioremap() and similar things did use barriers, the most logical choise would be smp_wmb(), which is not architecturally sufficient when BookE hardware tablewalk is used. A full sync is specified by the architecture. For userspace mappings, OTOH, we generally already have an lwsync due to locking, and if we occasionally take a spurious fault due to not having a full sync with hardware tablewalk, it will not be fatal because we will retry rather than oops.

When booting above the 64M for a secondary cpu, we also face the same issue as the boot cpu that the PAGE_OFFSET map two different physical address for the init tlb and the final map. So we have to use switch_to_as1/restore_to_as0 between the conversion of these two maps. When restoring to as0 for a secondary cpu, we only need to return to the caller. So add a new parameter for function restore_to_as0 for this purpose. Use LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC to get the address of variables which may be used before we set the final map in cams for the secondary cpu. Move the setting of cams a bit earlier in order to avoid the unnecessary using of LOAD_REG_ADDR_PIC. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao <haokexin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

This is always true for a non-relocatable kernel. Otherwise the kernel would get stuck. But for a relocatable kernel, it seems a little complicated. When booting a relocatable kernel, we just align the kernel start addr to 64M and map the PAGE_OFFSET from there. The relocation will base on this virtual address. But if this address is not the same as the memstart_addr, we will have to change the map of PAGE_OFFSET to the real memstart_addr and do another relocation again.

For a relocatable kernel since it can be loaded at any place, there is no any relation between the kernel start addr and the memstart_addr. So we can't calculate the memstart_addr from kernel start addr. And also we can't wait to do the relocation after we get the real memstart_addr from device tree because it is so late. So introduce a new function we can use to get the first memblock address and size in a very early stage (before machine_init).

We use the tlb1 entries to map low mem to the kernel space. In the current code, it assumes that the first tlb entry would cover the kernel image. But this is not true for some special cases, such as when we run a relocatable kernel above the 64M or set CONFIG_KERNEL_START above 64M. So we choose to switch to address space 1 before setting these tlb entries. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao <haokexin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>

This is based on the codes in the head_44x.S. The difference is that the init tlb size we used is 64M.

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code is called from SPEFloatingPointException and SPEFloatingPointRoundException in arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c. Those functions have support for generating SIGFPE, but do_spe_mathemu and speround_handler don't generate a return value to indicate that this should be done. Such a return value should depend on whether an exception is raised that has been set via prctl to generate SIGFPE. This patch adds the relevant logic in these functions so that SIGFPE is generated as expected by the glibc testsuite.

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code has several problems in how it handles conversions to integer and fixed-point fractional types. There are the following 20 relevant instructions. These can convert to signed or unsigned 32-bit integers, either rounding towards zero (as correct for C casts from floating-point to integer) or according to the current rounding mode, or to signed or unsigned 32-bit fixed-point values (values in the range [-1, 1) or [0, 1)). For conversion from double precision there are also instructions to convert to 64-bit integers, rounding towards zero, although as far as I know those instructions are completely theoretical (they are only defined for implementations that support both SPE and classic 64-bit, and I'm not aware of any such hardware even though the architecture definition permits that combination). #define EFSCTUI 0x2d4 #define EFSCTSI 0x2d5 #define EFSCTUF 0x2d6 #define EFSCTSF 0x2d7 #define EFSCTUIZ 0x2d8 #define EFSCTSIZ 0x2da #define EVFSCTUI 0x294 #define EVFSCTSI 0x295 #define EVFSCTUF 0x296 #define EVFSCTSF 0x297 #define EVFSCTUIZ 0x298 #define EVFSCTSIZ 0x29a #define EFDCTUIDZ 0x2ea #define EFDCTSIDZ 0x2eb #define EFDCTUI 0x2f4 #define EFDCTSI 0x2f5 #define EFDCTUF 0x2f6 #define EFDCTSF 0x2f7 #define EFDCTUIZ 0x2f8 #define EFDCTSIZ 0x2fa The emulation code, for the instructions that come in variants rounding either towards zero or according to the current rounding direction, uses "if (func & 0x4)" as a condition for using _FP_ROUND (otherwise _FP_ROUND_ZERO is used). The condition is correct, but the code it controls isn't. Whether _FP_ROUND or _FP_ROUND_ZERO is used makes no difference, as the effect of those soft-fp macros is to round an intermediate floating-point result using the low three bits (the last one sticky) of the working format. As these operations are dealing with a freshly unpacked floating-point input, those low bits are zero and no rounding occurs. The emulation code then uses the FP_TO_INT_* macros for the actual integer conversion, with the effect of always rounding towards zero; for rounding according to the current rounding direction, it should be using FP_TO_INT_ROUND_*. The instructions in question have semantics defined (in the Power ISA documents) for out-of-range values and NaNs: out-of-range values saturate and NaNs are converted to zero. The emulation does nothing to follow those semantics for NaNs (the soft-fp handling is to treat them as infinities), and messes up the saturation semantics. For single-precision conversion to integers, (((func & 0x3) != 0) || SB_s) is the condition used for doing a signed conversion. The first part is correct, but the second isn't: negative numbers should result in saturation to 0 when converted to unsigned. Double-precision conversion to 64-bit integers correctly uses ((func & 0x1) == 0). Double-precision conversion to 32-bit integers uses (((func & 0x3) != 0) || DB_s), with correct first part and incorrect second part. And vector float conversion to integers uses (((func & 0x3) != 0) || SB0_s) (and similar for the other vector element), where the sign bit check is again wrong. The incorrect handling of negative numbers converted to unsigned was introduced in commit afc0a07d. The rationale given there was a C testcase with cast from float to unsigned int. Conversion of out-of-range floating-point numbers to integer types in C is undefined behavior in the base standard, defined in Annex F to produce an unspecified value. That is, the C testcase used to justify that patch is incorrect - there is no ISO C requirement for a particular value resulting from this conversion - and in any case, the correct semantics for such emulation are the semantics for the instruction (unsigned saturation, which is what it does in hardware when the emulation is disabled). The conversion to fixed-point values has its own problems. That code doesn't try to do a full emulation; it relies on the trap handler only being called for arguments that are infinities, NaNs, subnormal or out of range. That's fine, but the logic ((vb.wp[1] >> 23) == 0xff && ((vb.wp[1] & 0x7fffff) > 0)) for NaN detection won't detect negative NaNs as being NaNs (the same applies for the double-precision case), and subnormals are mapped to 0 rather than respecting the rounding mode; the code should also explicitly raise the "invalid" exception. The code for vectors works by executing the scalar float instruction with the trapping disabled, meaning at least subnormals won't be handled correctly. As well as all those problems in the main emulation code, the rounding handler - used to emulate rounding upward and downward when not supported in hardware and when no higher priority exception occurred - has its own problems. * It gets called in some cases even for the instructions rounding to zero, and then acts according to the current rounding mode when it should just leave alone the truncated result provided by hardware. * It presumes that the result is a single-precision, double-precision or single-precision vector as appropriate for the instruction type, determines the sign of the result accordingly, and then adjusts the result based on that sign and the rounding mode. - In the single-precision cases at least the sign determination for an integer result is the same as for a floating-point result; in the double-precision case, converted to 32-bit integer or fixed point, the sign of a double-precision value is in the high part of the register but it's the low part of the register that has the result of the conversion. - If the result is unsigned fixed-point, its sign may be wrongly determined as negative (does not actually cause problems, because inexact unsigned fixed-point results with the high bit set can only appear when converting from double, in which case the sign determination is instead wrongly using the high part of the register). - If the sign of the result is correctly determined as negative, any adjustment required to change the truncated result to one correct for the rounding mode should be in the opposite direction for two's-complement integers as for sign-magnitude floating-point values. - And if the integer result is zero, the correct sign can only be determined by examining the original operand, and not at all (as far as I can tell) if the operand and result are the same register. This patch fixes all these problems (as far as possible, given the inability to determine the correct sign in the rounding handler when the truncated result is 0, the conversion is to a signed type and the truncated result has overwritten the original operand). Conversion to fixed-point now uses full emulation, and does not use "asm" in the vector case; the semantics are exactly those of converting to integer according to the current rounding direction, once the exponent has been adjusted, so the code makes such an adjustment then uses the FP_TO_INT_ROUND macros. The testcase I used for verifying that the instructions (other than the theoretical conversions to 64-bit integers) produce the correct results is at <http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/8/708>.

On overflow, the math-emu macro _FP_TO_INT_ROUND tries to saturate its result (subject to the value of rsigned specifying the desired overflow semantics). However, if the rounding step has the effect of increasing the exponent so as to cause overflow (if the rounded result is 1 larger than the largest positive value with the given number of bits, allowing for signedness), the overflow does not get detected, meaning that for unsigned results 0 is produced instead of the maximum unsigned integer with the give number of bits, without an exception being raised for overflow, and that for signed results the minimum (negative) value is produced instead of the maximum (positive) value, again without an exception. This patch makes the code check for rounding increasing the exponent and adjusts the exponent value as needed for the overflow check.

The math-emu macros _FP_TO_INT and _FP_TO_INT_ROUND are supposed to saturate their results for out-of-range arguments, except in the case rsigned == 2 (when instead the low bits of the result are taken). However, in the case rsigned == 0 (converting to unsigned integers), they mistakenly produce 0 for positive results and the maximum unsigned integer for negative results, the opposite of correct unsigned saturation.

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code for the rounding modes rounding to positive or negative infinity (which may not be implemented in hardware) tries to avoid emulating rounding if the result was inexact. However, it tests inexactness using the sticky bit with the cumulative result of previous operations, rather than with the non-sticky bits relating to the operation that generated the interrupt. Furthermore, when a vector operation generates the interrupt, it's possible that only one of the low and high parts is inexact, and so only that part should have rounding emulated. This results in incorrect rounding of exact results in these modes when the sticky bit is set from a previous operation. (I'm not sure why the rounding interrupts are generated at all when the result is exact, but empirically the hardware does generate them.) This patch checks for inexactness using the correct bits of SPEFSCR, and ensures that rounding only occurs when the relevant part of the result was actually inexact.

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code clears existing exceptions (__FPU_FPSCR &= ~FP_EX_MASK;) before ORing in the exceptions from the emulated operation. However, these exception bits are the "sticky", cumulative exception bits, and should only be cleared by the user program setting SPEFSCR, not implicitly by any floating-point instruction (whether executed purely by the hardware or emulated). The spurious clearing of these bits shows up as missing exceptions in glibc testing. Fixing this, however, is not as simple as just not clearing the bits, because while the bits may be from previous floating-point operations (in which case they should not be cleared), the processor can also set the sticky bits itself before the interrupt for an exception occurs, and this can happen in cases when IEEE 754 semantics are that the sticky bit should not be set. Specifically, the "invalid" sticky bit is set in various cases with non-finite operands, where IEEE 754 semantics do not involve raising such an exception, and the "underflow" sticky bit is set in cases of exact underflow, whereas IEEE 754 semantics are that this flag is set only for inexact underflow. Thus, for correct emulation the kernel needs to know the setting of these two sticky bits before the instruction being emulated. When a floating-point operation raises an exception, the kernel can note the state of the sticky bits immediately afterwards. Some <fenv.h> functions that affect the state of these bits, such as fesetenv and feholdexcept, need to use prctl with PR_GET_FPEXC and PR_SET_FPEXC anyway, and so it is natural to record the state of those bits during that call into the kernel and so avoid any need for a separate call into the kernel to inform it of a change to those bits. Thus, the interface I chose to use (in this patch and the glibc port) is that one of those prctl calls must be made after any userspace change to those sticky bits, other than through a floating-point operation that traps into the kernel anyway. feclearexcept and fesetexceptflag duly make those calls, which would not be required were it not for this issue. The previous EGLIBC port, and the uClibc code copied from it, is fundamentally broken as regards any use of prctl for floating-point exceptions because it didn't use the PR_FP_EXC_SW_ENABLE bit in its prctl calls (and did various worse things, such as passing a pointer when prctl expected an integer). If you avoid anything where prctl is used, the clearing of sticky bits still means it will never give anything approximating correct exception semantics with existing kernels. I don't believe the patch makes things any worse for existing code that doesn't try to inform the kernel of changes to sticky bits - such code may get incorrect exceptions in some cases, but it would have done so anyway in other cases.
