[PATCH V2 0/3] riscv: add support for restartable sequence

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add RSEQ, restartable sequence, support and related selftest to RISCV.
The Kconfig option HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API is also required by
RSEQ because RSEQ will modify the content of pt_regs.sepc through
instruction_pointer_set() during the fixup procedure. In order to select
the config HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API, the missing APIs for accessing
pt_regs are also added in this patch set.
  
The relevant RSEQ tests in kselftest require the Binutils patch "RISC-V:
Fix linker problems with TLS copy relocs" to avoid placing
PREINIT_ARRAY and TLS variable of librseq.so at the same address.

A segmental fault will happen if binutils misses this patch.
