MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which is done below the VDSO data page. When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall path. When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However, gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path. This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect) value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable amount of time. A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz): - Syscall: ~31000 ns - VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns - VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made in the order they appear to the process' address space. - Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef - Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver] Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11338/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which is done below the VDSO data page. When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall path. When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However, gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path. This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect) value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable amount of time. A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz): - Syscall: ~31000 ns - VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns - VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made in the order they appear to the process' address space. - Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef - Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver] Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11338/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

MIPS: Use per-mm page to execute branch delay slot instructions In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include: - Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the "nofpu" parameter. - MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings are no longer valid in MIPSr6. Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to the user stack and executed from there. This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other solutions is relatively simple. When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame. A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU code. This traps back to the kernel & leads to a call to do_dsemulret which frees the allocated frame & moves the user PC back to the instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch. In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an exception & leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code. Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would: - Only affect the users single process. - Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the delay slot, which is forbidden. - Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop would. If a thread requires a delay slot emulation & no frame is available to it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until a frame is freed by another thread in the process. Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct emuframe is also removed & the PC to continue from is instead stored in struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify & shrink struct emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page allocated for them. The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the user stack non-executable where that is possible.

This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which is done below the VDSO data page. When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall path. When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However, gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path. This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect) value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable amount of time. A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz): - Syscall: ~31000 ns - VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns - VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made in the order they appear to the process' address space. - Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef - Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver] Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11338/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library) VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime(). To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool (genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type. genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image" containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is compiled into the kernel. On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI, so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by the mips_abi structure. A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time function implementations which are added later. [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Add more comments - Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function that needs it. - Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance. - Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking. - Simplify Makefile a little bit. - checkpatch fixes - Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6 - Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64] Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: Matthew Fortune <matthew.fortune@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11337/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
