ARM: vfp: Reimplement VFP exception entry in C code 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: vfp: Remove workaround for Feroceon CPUs Feroceon CPUs have a non-standard implementation of VFP which reports synchronous VFP exceptions using the async VFP flag. This requires a workaround which is difficult to reconcile with other implementations, making it tricky to support both versions in a single image. Since this is a v5 CPU, it is not supported by armhf and so the likelihood that anybody is using this with recent distros/kernels and rely on the VFP at the same time is extremely low. So let's just disable VFP support on these cores, so we can remove the workaround. This will help future development to support v5 and v6 CPUs with a single kernel image.

ARM: vfp: Record VFP bounces as perf emulation faults VFP 'bouncing' occurs when the VFP unit cannot complete the execution of a VFP instruction, either because it is not implemented at all, or because the values of the arguments are out of range for the hardware implementation, and the software needs to step in to complete the operation. To give some insight in how much certain programs rely on this bouncing, record the emulation of a VFP instruction in perf's emulation-faults counter. This can be used like so perf stat -e emulation-faults ./testfloat -all2 and the output will be something like Performance counter stats for './testfloat -all2': 259,277 emulation-faults:u 6.846432176 seconds time elapsed Reviewed-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

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

ARM: 9283/1: permit non-nested kernel mode NEON in softirq context We currently only permit kernel mode NEON in process context, to avoid the need to preserve/restore the NEON register file when taking an exception while running in the kernel. Like we did on arm64, we can relax this restriction substantially, by permitting kernel mode NEON from softirq context, while ensuring that softirq processing is disabled when the NEON is being used in task context. This guarantees that only NEON context belonging to user space needs to be preserved and restored, which is already taken care of. This is especially relevant for network encryption, where incoming frames are typically handled in softirq context, and deferring software decryption to a kernel thread or falling back to C code are both undesirable from a performance PoV.

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

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: 9030/1: entry: omit FP emulation for UND exceptions taken in kernel mode There are a couple of problems with the exception entry code that deals with FP exceptions (which are reported as UND exceptions) when building the kernel in Thumb2 mode: - the conditional branch to vfp_kmode_exception in vfp_support_entry() may be out of range for its target, depending on how the linker decides to arrange the sections; - when the UND exception is taken in kernel mode, the emulation handling logic is entered via the 'call_fpe' label, which means we end up using the wrong value/mask pairs to match and detect the NEON opcodes. Since UND exceptions in kernel mode are unlikely to occur on a hot path (as opposed to the user mode version which is invoked for VFP support code and lazy restore), we can use the existing undef hook machinery for any kernel mode instruction emulation that is needed, including calling the existing vfp_kmode_exception() routine for unexpected cases. So drop the call to call_fpe, and instead, install an undef hook that will get called for NEON and VFP instructions that trigger an UND exception in kernel mode. While at it, make sure that the PC correction is accurate for the execution mode where the exception was taken, by checking the PSR Thumb bit.

Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific si_code. As such this use of 0 for the si_code is a pretty horribly broken ABI. Further use of si_code == 0 guaranteed that copy_siginfo_to_user saw a value of __SI_KILL and now sees a value of SIL_KILL with the result that uid and pid fields are copied and which might copying the si_addr field by accident but certainly not by design. Making this a very flakey implementation. Utilizing FPE_FIXME, siginfo_layout will now return SIL_FAULT and the appropriate fields will be reliably copied.

ARM: 8197/1: vfp: Fix VFPv3 hwcap detection on CPUID based cpus The subarchitecture field in the fpsid register is 7 bits wide on ARM CPUs using the CPUID identification scheme, spanning bits 22 to 16. The topmost bit is used to designate that the subarchitecture designer is not ARM when it is set to 1. On non-CPUID scheme CPUs the subarchitecture field is only 4 bits wide and the higher bits are used to indicate no double precision support (bit 20) and the FTSMX/FLDMX format (bits 21-22). The VFP support code only looks at bits 19-16 to determine the VFP version. On Qualcomm's processors (Krait and Scorpion) we should see that we have HWCAP_VFPv3 but we don't because bit 22 is set to 1 to indicate that the subarchitecture is not implemented by ARM and the rest of the bits are left as 0 because this is the first subarchitecture that Qualcomm has designed. Unfortunately we can't just widen the FPSID subarchitecture bitmask to consider all the bits on a CPUID scheme because there may be CPUs without the CPUID scheme that have VFP without double precision support and then the version would be a very wrong and large number. Instead, update the version detection logic to consider if the CPU is using the CPUID scheme. If the CPU is using CPUID scheme, use the MVFR registers to determine what version of VFP is supported. We already do this for VFPv4, so do something similar for VFPv3 and look for single or double precision support in MVFR0. Otherwise fall back to using FPSID to detect VFP support on non-CPUID scheme CPUs. We know that VFPv3 is only present in CPUs that have support for the CPUID scheme so this should be equivalent.

ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON In order to safely support the use of NEON instructions in kernel mode, some precautions need to be taken: - the userland context that may be present in the registers (even if the NEON/VFP is currently disabled) must be stored under the correct task (which may not be 'current' in the UP case), - to avoid having to keep track of additional vfpstates for the kernel side, disallow the use of NEON in interrupt context and run with preemption disabled, - after use, re-enable preemption and re-enable the lazy restore machinery by disabling the NEON/VFP unit. This patch adds the functions kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() which take care of the above. It also adds the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON to enable it.

ARM: 7419/1: vfp: fix VFP flushing regression on sigreturn path Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP register corruption in userspace since the register values are not necessarily those restored from the sigframe. This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler. Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the handler is essentially a nop.

ARM: 7417/1: vfp: ensure preemption is disabled when enabling VFP access The vfp_enable function enables access to the VFP co-processor register space (cp10 and cp11) on the current CPU and must be called with preemption disabled. Unfortunately, the vfp_init late initcall does not disable preemption and can lead to an oops during boot if thread migration occurs at the wrong time and we end up attempting to access the FPSID on a CPU with VFP access disabled. This patch fixes the initcall to call vfp_enable from a non-preemptible context on each CPU and adds a BUG_ON(preemptible) to ensure that any similar problems are easily spotted in the future.

Although signal handlers run asynchronously with respect to the interrupted function, the handler itself expects to run as though it has been called like a normal function. This patch updates the state mirroring the VFP hardware before entry to a signal handler so that it adheres to the PCS. Furthermore, we disable VFP to ensure that we trap on any floating point operation performed by the signal handler and synchronise the hardware appropriately. A check is inserted after the signal handler to avoid redundant flushing if VFP was not used.

ARM: vfp: fix a hole in VFP thread migration Fix a hole in the VFP thread migration. Lets define two threads. Thread 1, we'll call 'interesting_thread' which is a thread which is running on CPU0, using VFP (so vfp_current_hw_state[0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate) and gets migrated off to CPU1, where it continues execution of VFP instructions. Thread 2, we'll call 'new_cpu0_thread' which is the thread which takes over on CPU0. This has also been using VFP, and last used VFP on CPU0, but doesn't use it again. The following code will be executed twice: cpu = thread->cpu; /* * On SMP, if VFP is enabled, save the old state in * case the thread migrates to a different CPU. The * restoring is done lazily. */ if ((fpexc & FPEXC_EN) && vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]) { vfp_save_state(vfp_current_hw_state[cpu], fpexc); vfp_current_hw_state[cpu]->hard.cpu = cpu; } /* * Thread migration, just force the reloading of the * state on the new CPU in case the VFP registers * contain stale data. */ if (thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu != cpu) vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] = NULL; The first execution will be on CPU0 to switch away from 'interesting_thread'. interesting_thread->cpu will be 0. So, vfp_current_hw_state[0] points at interesting_thread->vfpstate. The hardware state will be saved, along with the CPU number (0) that it was executing on. 'thread' will be 'new_cpu0_thread' with new_cpu0_thread->cpu = 0. Also, because it was executing on CPU0, new_cpu0_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, and so the thread migration check is not triggered. This means that vfp_current_hw_state[0] remains pointing at interesting_thread. The second execution will be on CPU1 to switch _to_ 'interesting_thread'. So, 'thread' will be 'interesting_thread' and interesting_thread->cpu now will be 1. The previous thread executing on CPU1 is not relevant to this so we shall ignore that. We get to the thread migration check. Here, we discover that interesting_thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0, yet interesting_thread->cpu is now 1, indicating thread migration. We set vfp_current_hw_state[1] to NULL. So, at this point vfp_current_hw_state[] contains the following: [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate [1] = NULL Our interesting thread now executes a VFP instruction, takes a fault which loads the state into the VFP hardware. Now, through the assembly we now have: [0] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate [1] = &interesting_thread->vfpstate CPU1 stops due to ptrace (and so saves its VFP state) using the thread switch code above), and CPU0 calls vfp_sync_hwstate(). if (vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &thread->vfpstate) { vfp_save_state(&thread->vfpstate, fpexc | FPEXC_EN); BANG, we corrupt interesting_thread's VFP state by overwriting the more up-to-date state saved by CPU1 with the old VFP state from CPU0. Fix this by ensuring that we have sane semantics for the various state describing variables: 1. vfp_current_hw_state[] points to the current owner of the context information stored in each CPUs hardware, or NULL if that state information is invalid. 2. thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu always contains the most recent CPU number which the state was loaded into or NR_CPUS if no CPU owns the state. So, for a particular CPU to be a valid owner of the VFP state for a particular thread t, two things must be true: vfp_current_hw_state[cpu] == &t->vfpstate && t->vfpstate.hard.cpu == cpu. and that is valid from the moment a CPU loads the saved VFP context into the hardware. This gives clear and consistent semantics to interpreting these variables. This patch also fixes thread copying, ensuring that t->vfpstate.hard.cpu is invalidated, otherwise CPU0 may believe it was the last owner. The hole can happen thus: - thread1 runs on CPU2 using VFP, migrates to CPU3, exits and thread_info freed. - New thread allocated from a previously running thread on CPU2, reusing memory for thread1 and copying vfp.hard.cpu. At this point, the following are true: new_thread1->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 2 &new_thread1->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[2] Lastly, this also addresses thread flushing in a similar way to thread copying. Hole is: - thread runs on CPU0, using VFP, migrates to CPU1 but does not use VFP. - thread calls execve(), so thread flush happens, leaving vfp_current_hw_state[0] intact. This vfpstate is memset to 0 causing thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu = 0. - thread migrates back to CPU0 before using VFP. At this point, the following are true: thread->vfpstate.hard.cpu == 0 &thread->vfpstate == vfp_current_hw_state[0] Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

ARM: vfp: fix vfp_sync_state() 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.

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).

[ARM] 5440/1: Fix VFP state corruption due to preemption during VFP exceptions 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.

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.

[ARM] 4582/2: Add support for the common VFP subarchitecture 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.
