From: yu liu <yu.liu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> giveup_spe() saves the SPE state which is protected by MSR[SPE]. However, modifying SPEFSCR does not trap when MSR[SPE]=0. And since SPEFSCR is already saved/restored in _switch(), not all the callers want to save SPEFSCR again. Thus, saving SPEFSCR should not belong to giveup_spe(). This patch moves SPEFSCR saving to flush_spe_to_thread(), and cleans up the caller that needs to save SPEFSCR accordingly.

This is holding up the rest of the SPE patches, which in turn are holding up the MMU patches due to both touching the MSR update code. arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S | 2 -- arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c | 1 + arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c | 5 +---- 3 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S b/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S index 5ecf54c..aede4f8 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/head_fsl_booke.S @@ -792,8 +792,6 @@ _GLOBAL(giveup_spe) evmwumiaa evr6, evr6, evr6 /* evr6 <- ACC = 0 * 0 + ACC */ li r4,THREAD_ACC evstddx evr6, r4, r3 /* save off accumulator */ - mfspr r6,SPRN_SPEFSCR - stw r6,THREAD_SPEFSCR(r3) /* save spefscr register value */ beq 1f lwz r4,_MSR-STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD(r5) lis r3,MSR_SPE@h diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c index f74f355..138e7dd 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c @@ -213,6 +213,7 @@ void flush_spe_to_thread(struct task_struct *tsk) #ifdef CONFIG_SMP BUG_ON(tsk != current); #endif + tsk->thread.spefscr = mfspr(SPRN_SPEFSCR); giveup_spe(tsk); } preempt_enable(); diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c index 5ddb801..742a0fb 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c @@ -1356,10 +1356,7 @@ void SPEFloatingPointException(struct pt_regs *regs) int code = 0; int err; - preempt_disable(); - if (regs->msr & MSR_SPE) - giveup_spe(current); - preempt_enable(); + flush_spe_to_thread(current); spefscr = current->thread.spefscr; fpexc_mode = current->thread.fpexc_mode; -- 1.7.4.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ppc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
