[PATCH v2 13/28] arm64/sve: Signal handling support

Dave Martin Dave.Martin at arm.com
Thu Aug 31 10:00:45 PDT 2017


This patch implements support for saving and restoring the SVE
registers around signals.

A fixed-size header struct sve_context is always included in the
signal frame encoding the thread's vector length at the time of
signal delivery, optionally followed by a variable-layout structure
encoding the SVE registers.

Because of the need to preserve backwards compatibility, the FPSIMD
view of the SVE registers is always dumped as a struct
fpsimd_context in the usual way, in addition to any sve_context.

The SVE vector registers are dumped in full, including bits 127:0
of each register which alias the corresponding FPSIMD vector
registers in the hardware.  To avoid any ambiguity about which
alias to restore during sigreturn, the kernel always restores bits
127:0 of each SVE vector register from the fpsimd_context in the
signal frame (which must be present): userspace needs to take this
into account if it wants to modify the SVE vector register contents
on return from a signal.

FPSR and FPCR, which are used by both FPSIMD and SVE, are not
included in sve_context because they are always present in
fpsimd_context anyway.

For signal delivery, a new helper
fpsimd_signal_preserve_current_state() is added to update _both_
the FPSIMD and SVE views in the task struct, to make it easier to
populate this information into the signal frame.  Because of the
redundancy between the two views of the state, only one is updated
otherwise.  In order to avoid racing with a pending discard of the
SVE state, this flush is hoisted before the sigframe layout phase,
so that the layout and population phases see a consistent view of
the thread.

Changes since v1
----------------

Requested by Ard Biesheuvel:

* Fix unbalanced ifelse bracing to conform to the kernel coding style.

Requested by Alex Bennée:

* Add comments to explain the barrier()s when writing thread.sve_state
in  restore_sve_fpsimd_context().

* Thin out BUG_ON()s:
Redundant BUG_ON()s and ones that just check invariants are removed.
Important sanity-checks are migrated to WARN_ON()s, with some
minimal best-effort patch-up code.

Other:

* Delete spurious barrier() from restore_sve_fpsimd_context().

Once TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set, context switch won't write to
thread_struct any more, so it doesn't matter what TIF_SVE is until the
next ret_to_user or ptrace interaction, neither of which can race
with this function.
