Michael Neuling f110c0c192 powerpc: fix compiling CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM when CONFIG_ALTIVEC=n
We can't compile a kernel with CONFIG_ALTIVEC=n when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=y.  We currently get:

arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:320: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VSCR
arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:323: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VR0
arch/powerpc/kernel/tm.S:323: Error: unsupported relocation against THREAD_VR0
etc.

The below fixes this with a sprinkling of #ifdefs.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."

Matt Fleming a2007ce844 powerpc: Use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask()
As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
is pending in the shared queue.

Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f2
("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this
code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from
happening again.

On PPC64, put_sigset_t converts a sigset_t to a compat_sigset_t
before copying it to userspace. There is a typo in the case that
we have 4 words to copy, meaning that we corrupt the compat_sigset_t.

Dave Kleikamp 172ae2e7f8 powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers
powerpc/booke: Introduce new CONFIG options for advanced debug registers

From: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce new config options to simplify the ifdefs pertaining to the
advanced debug registers for booke and 40x processors:

CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS - boolean: true for dac-based processors
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_IACS - number of IAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DACS - number of DAC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DVCS - number of DVC registers
CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_DAC_RANGE - DAC ranges supported

Beginning conservatively, since I only have the facilities to test 440
hardware.  I believe all 40x and booke platforms support at least 2 IAC
and 2 DAC registers.  For 440, 4 IAC and 2 DVC registers are enabled, as
well as the DAC ranges.

Josh Boyer efbda86098 powerpc: Sanitize stack pointer in signal handling code
On powerpc64 machines running 32-bit userspace, we can get garbage bits in the
stack pointer passed into the kernel.  Most places handle this correctly, but
the signal handling code uses the passed value directly for allocating signal
stack frames.

This fixes the issue by introducing a get_clean_sp function that returns a
sanitized stack pointer.  For 32-bit tasks on a 64-bit kernel, the stack
pointer is masked correctly.  In all other cases, the stack pointer is simply
returned.

Additionally, we pass an 'is_32' parameter to get_sigframe now in order to
get the properly sanitized stack.  The callers are know to be 32 or 64-bit
statically.

Michael Neuling 16c29d180b powerpc: Fix swapcontext system for VSX + old ucontext size
Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
larger size with the extra VSX state.  A program using the
sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved).  Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.

This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case.  It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.

Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.

[paulus@samba.org - also fix some access_ok() and get_user() calls]

Michael Neuling c1cb299ead powerpc: fix swapcontext backwards compat. with VSX ucontext changes
When the ucontext changed to add the VSX context, this broke backwards
compatibly on swapcontext.  swapcontext only compares the ucontext size
passed in from the user to the new kernel ucontext size.

This adds a check against the old ucontext size (with VMX but without
VSX).  It also adds some sanity check for ucontexts without VSX, but
where VSX is used according the MSR.  Fixes for both 32 and 64bit
processes on 64bit kernels

Kudos to Paulus for noticing.

Michael Neuling ce48b21007 powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support
This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.

Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.

The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
compatibility is maintained.

The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
registers.

VSX has 64 128bit registers.  The first 32 regs overlap with the FP
registers and hence extend them with and additional 64 bits.  The
second 32 regs overlap with the VMX registers.

This commit introduces the thread_struct changes required to reflect
this register layout.  Ptrace and signals code is updated so that the
floating point registers are correctly accessed from the thread_struct
when CONFIG_VSX is enabled.

Christoph Hellwig 69d15f6b35 [POWERPC] Consolidate sys_sigaltstack
sys_sigaltstack is the same on 32bit and 64 and we can consolidate it
to signal.c.  The only difference is that the 32bit code uses ints
for the unused register paramaters and 64bit unsigned long.  I've
changed it to unsigned long because it's the same width on 32bit.

(I also wonder who came up with this awkward calling convention.. :))

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 22e38f2932 [POWERPC] Make syscall restart code more common
This patch moves the code in signal_32.c and signal_64.c for handling
syscall restart into a common signal.c file and converge around a single
implementation that is based on the 32 bits one, using trap, ccr
and r3 rather than the special "result" field for deciding what to do.

The "result" field is now pretty much deprecated. We still set it for
the sake of whatever might rely on it in userland but we no longer use
it's content.

This, along with a previous patch that enables ptracers to write to
"trap" and "orig_r3" should allow gdb to properly handle syscall
restarting.

Paul Mackerras 1c9bb1a01a [POWERPC] Fix register save area alignment for swapcontext syscall
For 32-bit processes, the getcontext side of the swapcontext system
call (i.e. the saving of the context when the first argument is
non-NULL) has to set the ctx->uc_mcontext.uc_regs pointer to the place
where it saves the registers.  Which it does, but it doesn't ensure
that the pointer is 16-byte aligned.  16-byte alignment is needed
because the Altivec/VMX registers are saved in there, and they need to
be on a 16-byte boundary.

This fixes it by ensuring the appropriate alignment of the pointer.
This issue was pointed out by Jakub Jelinek.

Paul Mackerras fab5db97e4 [PATCH] powerpc: Implement support for setting little-endian mode via prctl
This adds the PowerPC part of the code to allow processes to change
their endian mode via prctl.

This also extends the alignment exception handler to be able to fix up
alignment exceptions that occur in little-endian mode, both for
"PowerPC" little-endian and true little-endian.

We always enter signal handlers in big-endian mode -- the support for
little-endian mode does not amount to the creation of a little-endian
user/kernel ABI.  If the signal handler returns, the endian mode is
restored to what it was when the signal was delivered.

We have two new kernel CPU feature bits, one for PPC little-endian and
one for true little-endian.  Most of the classic 32-bit processors
support PPC little-endian, and this is reflected in the CPU feature
table.  There are two corresponding feature bits reported to userland
in the AT_HWCAP aux vector entry.

This is based on an earlier patch by Anton Blanchard.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt a5bba930d8 [PATCH] powerpc vdso updates
This patch cleans up some locking & error handling in the ppc vdso and
moves the vdso base pointer from the thread struct to the mm context
where it more logically belongs. It brings the powerpc implementation
closer to Ingo's new x86 one and also adds an arch_vma_name() function
allowing to print [vsdo] in /proc/<pid>/maps if Ingo's x86 vdso patch is
also applied.

Arnd Bergmann a7f31841a4 [PATCH] powerpc: declare arch syscalls in <asm/syscalls.h>
powerpc currently declares some of its own system calls
in <asm/unistd.h>, but not all of them. That place also
contains remainders of the now almost unused kernel syscall
hack.

 - Add a new <asm/syscalls.h> with clean declarations
 - Include that file from every source that implements one
   of these
 - Get rid of old declarations in <asm/unistd.h>

This patch is required as a base for implementing system
calls from an SPU, but also makes sense as a general
cleanup.

Paul Mackerras 1bd79336a4 powerpc: Fix various syscall/signal/swapcontext bugs
A careful reading of the recent changes to the system call entry/exit
paths revealed several problems, plus some things that could be
simplified and improved:

* 32-bit wasn't testing the _TIF_NOERROR bit in the syscall fast exit
  path, so it was only doing anything with it once it saw some other
  bit being set.  In other words, the noerror behaviour would apply to
  the next system call where we had to reschedule or deliver a signal,
  which is not necessarily the current system call.

* 32-bit wasn't doing the call to ptrace_notify in the syscall exit
  path when the _TIF_SINGLESTEP bit was set.

* _TIF_RESTOREALL was in both _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK and
  _TIF_PERSYSCALL_MASK, which is odd since _TIF_RESTOREALL is only set
  by system calls.  I took it out of _TIF_USER_WORK_MASK.

* On 64-bit, _TIF_RESTOREALL wasn't causing the non-volatile registers
  to be restored (unless perhaps a signal was delivered or the syscall
  was traced or single-stepped).  Thus the non-volatile registers
  weren't restored on exit from a signal handler.  We probably got
  away with it mostly because signal handlers written in C wouldn't
  alter the non-volatile registers.

* On 32-bit I simplified the code and made it more like 64-bit by
  making the syscall exit path jump to ret_from_except to handle
  preemption and signal delivery.

* 32-bit was calling do_signal unnecessarily when _TIF_RESTOREALL was
  set - but I think because of that 32-bit was actually restoring the
  non-volatile registers on exit from a signal handler.

* I changed the order of enabling interrupts and saving the
  non-volatile registers before calling do_syscall_trace_leave; now we
  enable interrupts first.
