Patrik Kluba reports that the preempt count becomes invalid due
to the preempt_enable() call being unbalanced with a
preempt_disable() call in the vfp assembly routines. This happens
because preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() update preempt
counts under PREEMPT_COUNT=y but the vfp assembly routines do so
under PREEMPT=y. In a configuration where PREEMPT=n and
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y, PREEMPT_COUNT=y and so the preempt_enable()
call in VFP_bounce() keeps subtracting from the preempt count
until it goes negative.
Fix this by always using PREEMPT_COUNT to decided when to update
preempt counts in the ARM assembly code.

CONFIG_VFPv3 set
After commit 846a136881b8f73c1f74250bf6acfaa309cab1f2 ("ARM: vfp: fix
saving d16-d31 vfp registers on v6+ kernels"), the OMAP 2430SDP board
started crashing during boot with omap2plus_defconfig:
[ 3.875122] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD04G 3.69 GiB
[ 3.915954] mmcblk0: p1

[ 4.107666] LR is at __und_usr_fault_32+0x0/0x8
It turns out that the context save/restore fix unmasked a latent bug
in commit 5aaf254409f8d58229107b59507a8235b715a960 ("ARM: 6203/1: Make
VFPv3 usable on ARMv6"). When CONFIG_VFPv3 is set, but the kernel is
booted on a pre-VFPv3 core, the code attempts to save and restore the
d16-d31 VFP registers. These are only present on non-D16 VFPv3+, so
this results in an undefined instruction exception. The code didn't
crash before commit 846a136 because the save and restore code was
only touching d0-d15, present on all VFP.
Fix by implementing a request from Russell King to add a new HWCAP
flag that affirmatively indicates the presence of the d16-d31
registers:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=135013547905283&w=2
and some feedback from Måns to clarify the name of the HWCAP flag.

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling. This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.
The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs->ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed. However, if the exception is
not handled, regs->ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.
This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes. This is not true of
Thumb2 though.
Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment. Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.

vfp_pm_suspend should save the VFP state in suspend after
any lazy context switch. If it only saves when the VFP is enabled,
the state can get lost when, on a UP system:
Thread 1 uses the VFP
Context switch occurs to thread 2, VFP is disabled but the
VFP context is not saved
Thread 2 initiates suspend
vfp_pm_suspend is called with the VFP disabled, and the unsaved
VFP context of Thread 1 in the registers
Modify vfp_pm_suspend to save the VFP context whenever
vfp_current_hw_state is not NULL.
Includes a fix from Ido Yariv <ido@wizery.com>, who pointed out that on
SMP systems, the state pointer can be pointing to a freed task struct if
a task exited on another cpu, fixed by using #ifndef CONFIG_SMP in the
new if clause.

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.

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.

The ARM PCS mandates that the length and stride bits of the fpscr are
cleared on entry to and return from a public interface. 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.

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]

Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas. As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).
This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C. If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.
In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:
* .quad and .double:
.align 3
* .long, .word, .single, .float:
.align (or .align 2)
* .short:
No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.

From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@nokia.com>
Recently the UP versions of these functions were refactored and as
a side effect it became possible to call them for the current thread.
This isn't true for the SMP versions however, so fix this up.

A CPU has VFPv3 hardware if the FPSID[19:16] bits are 2 or more.
Currently Linux was only checking for 3 or more.

If we're only reading the VFP context via the ptrace call, there's
no need to invalidate the hardware context - we only need to do that
on PTRACE_SETVFPREGS. This allows more efficient monitoring of a
traced task.

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.

Commit c98929c07a removed the clearing of the FPSCR[31:28] bits from the
vfp_raise_exceptions() function and the new bits are or'ed with the old
FPSCR bits leading to unexpected results (the original commit was
referring to the cumulative bits - FPSCR[4:0]).

This avoids races in the VFP code where the dead thread may have
state on another CPU. By moving this code to exit_thread(), we
will be running as the thread, and therefore be running on the
current CPU.
This means that we can ensure that the only local state is accessed
in the thread notifiers.

When the VFP notifier is called for flush_thread(), we may be
preemptible, meaning we might migrate to another CPU, which means
referencing the current CPU number without some form of locking is
invalid, and can cause data corruption.
For the most cases, this isn't a problem since atomic notifiers are run
under rcu lock, which for most configurations results in preemption
being disabled - except when the preemptable tree-based rcu
implementation is selected.
Let's make it safe anyway.

Since the Thumb-2 instructions can be 16-bit wide, data in the .text
sections may not be aligned to a 32-bit word and this leads to unaligned
exceptions. This patch does not affect the ARM code generation.

This CPU generates synchronous VFP exceptions in a non-standard way -
the FPEXC.EX bit set but without the FPSCR.IXE bit being set like in the
VFP subarchitecture 1 or just the FPEXC.DEX bit like in VFP
subarchitecture 2. 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). This patch ensures
that the VFP exception is treated as synchronous.
