MIPS: lib: Use kernel_pref & user_pref in memcpy()

2018-10-16T06:11:14Z

memcpy() is the only user of the PREF() & PREFE() macros from asm/asm.h. Switch to using the kernel_pref() & user_pref() macros from asm/asm-eva.h which fit more consistently with other abstractions of EVA vs non-EVA instructions.

MIPS: Add Kconfig variable for CPUs with unaligned load/store instructions

2018-09-26T20:38:18Z

MIPSR6 CPUs do not support unaligned load/store instructions (LWL, LWR, SWL, SWR and LDL, LDR, SDL, SDR for 64bit). Currently the MIPS tree has some special cases to avoid these instructions, and the code is testing for !CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR6. This patch declares a new Kconfig variable: CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LOAD_STORE_LR. This variable indicates that the CPU supports these instructions. Then, the patch does the following: - Carefully selects this option on all CPUs except MIPSR6. - Switches all the special cases to test for the new variable, and inverts the logic: '#ifndef CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR6' turns into '#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LOAD_STORE_LR' and vice-versa. Also, when this variable is NOT selected (e.g. MIPSR6), CONFIG_GENERIC_CSUM will default to 'y', to compile generic C checksum code (instead of special assembly code that uses the unsupported instructions). This commit should not affect any existing CPU, and is required for future Lexra CPU support, that misses these instructions too.

MIPS: R6: Fix PREF instruction usage by memcpy for MIPS R6

2017-06-29T00:42:24Z

Disable usage of PREF instruction usage by memcpy for MIPS R6. MIPS R6 redefines PREF instruction with smaller offset than ordinary MIPS. However, the memcpy code uses PREF instruction with offsets bigger than +-256 bytes. Malta kernels already disable usage of PREF for memcpy. This was found during adaptation of MIPS R6 for virtual board used by Android emulator.

MIPS: Export memcpy & memset functions alongside their definitions

2017-01-03T15:34:50Z

Now that EXPORT_SYMBOL can be used from assembly source, move the EXPORT_SYMBOL invocations for the memcpy & memset functions & variants thereof to be alongside their definitions.

MIPS: lib: memcpy: Add MIPS R6 support

2015-02-17T15:37:29Z

MIPS R6 does not support the unaligned load and store instructions so we add a special MIPS R6 case to copy one byte at a time if we need to read/write to unaligned memory addresses. Signed-off-by: Leonid Yegoshin Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: lib: memcpy: Restore NOP on delay slot before returning to caller

2014-11-19T17:22:08Z

Commit cf62a8b8134dd3 ("MIPS: lib: memcpy: Use macro to build the copy_user code") switched to a macro in order to build the memcpy symbols in preparation for the EVA support. However, this commit also removed the NOP instruction after the 'jr ra' when returning back to the caller. This had no visible side-effects since the next instruction was a load to the t0 register which was already in the clobbered list, but it may have undesired effects in the future if some other code is introduced in between the .Ldone and the .Ll_exc_copy labels.

MIPS: lib: memcpy: Add EVA support

2014-03-26T22:09:14Z

Add copy_{to,from,in}_user when the CPU operates in EVA mode. This is necessary so the EVA specific instructions can be used to perform the virtual to physical translation for user space addresses. We will use the non-EVA functions to read from kernel if needed. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

The code can be shared between EVA and non-EVA configurations, therefore use a macro to build it to avoid code duplications. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras
