Back in September, Atsushi Nemoto reported a problem with the way signal
handling was handling FPU contexts in the 2.2 kernel.  I think I'm seeing
the same thing in the 2.4 kernel.  The behavior I observe is that a user
process that is using floating point registers sees those registers get
whacked when another process gets a signal.  Just executing an arbitrary
command from a bash shell (while running floating point test app in the
background) is enough to demonstrate this.

Looking at setup_sigcontext() and restore_sigcontext() in
arch/mips/kernel/signal.c, the handling of FPU context certainly looks
wrong.  If nothing else, setting current->used_math to 0 will cause FPU
context to be reinitialized the next time that process reacquires the FPU
context.  I was going to fix this, but I really can't figure out what this
code is trying to do.

Currently setup_sigcontext() appears to behave as follows:
If the current process owns the FPU context, sc_ownedfp is set to 1 in the
sigcontext passed to the signal handler, and the floating point registers
are saved in that sigcontext.  This makes sense.
If the current process does not own the FPU context, but did at one point
execute FPU operations (which all glibc apps will do for initialization),
sc_ownedfp in the sigcontext is set to 0, and the floating point registers
are still saved.  This is, at the very least, a security hole, since those
registers belong to a different process at that point.

And restore_sigcontext() appears to behave thusly:
If sc_ownedfp is set in the sigcontext that is passed back from the signal
handler, the FPU context is restored from the sigcontext, and FPU context
ownership is given to the current process, without saving the old context.
Either I'm misunderstanding this, or there is a possibility that this will
simply forget about some other process' FPU context.

So what _is_ the desired behavior here?  The current behavior (again, unless
I'm misunderstanding something) gives the signal handler access to some
other process' FPU context in the case that the signaled process did not own
the FPU.  Should it:
1) Only pass the floating point registers in sigcontext if the signaled
process owned the FPU.  or
2) Always pass the signaled process' floating point registers if it had ever
used FPU operations.  This would require getting those registers from the
context saved on the stack instead of the current FP registers if the
current process does not own the FPU.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out here is the significance of sc_ownedfp
in struct sigcontext.  Option 1 would have it mean whether or not the
floating point register values in sigcontext are meaningful, but this seems
wrong.  The signal handler may want to know what the process' floating point
registers were at the time of the signal, unconditionally of whether it
owned the FPU context at the time.  Option 2 would have it mean... ummm...
I'm not sure.  I'm not sure why the signal handler would really care about
whether or not this process owned the FPU or some other process did, as long
as the floating point registers saved in sigcontext belong to the signaled
process.  It also doesn't seem all that useful to have the signal handler be
able to change the FPU ownership by changing the value of sc_ownedfp.

I'm speaking from first principles here, not from an analysis
of the code on non-MIPS architectures, but what *should*
happen on a signal to a process that is not the current/latest
user of the FPU is that the FPU sigcontext information should
be copied from the saved thread context state.

> And restore_sigcontext() appears to behave thusly:

The behavior described sort-of makes sense, if one is willing
to take it on faith that the signal handler did not trash the
sigcontext information (which I personally consider unwise).
If the signal was sent to the current owner of the FPU, the
post-signal thread FPU  state needs to represent the pre-signal
state of the FPU, which was saved in the sigcontext structure.

> So what _is_ the desired behavior here?

The desired behavior (IMHO) is that signals are dispatched
with the FPU state corresponding to the last known FPU
state of the thread taking the signal.  If the only copy of that
state prior to signal dispatch resides in the FPU, that state
needs to be saved before signal dispatch and restored
after signal return.

Or, to put it another way, the semantics of signals with
respect to FP registers should be the same as the
semantics with respect to general purpose registers.
The only wrinkle is the lazy FPU context switch logic,
which creates two anomolous situations: one where
the current contents of the FPU does not belong to
the current thread (because the current thread has
not executed any FP instructions), and one where the
FP register state of a non-current thread is not yet saved
in the thread state of that thread (because no subsequent
thread has executed any FP instructions).

Hi all experts,
I am trying to implement a keypad driver on Linux/MIPS.
Could Any one explain the keypad work?
I traced the /drivers/char/keyboard.c.
It seemed to create a timer interrupt.
The timer toggle the handle to check the status of the keyboard.
Right?

But!! How could we know the keypad is pressed?
The driver didn't need to call request_irq()??

I read keboard.c again, didn't see any timers at all.
Read pc_keyb.c, for example. Interrupts from keyboard are handled there.
Generally, a low level keyboard driver are responsible for it (and
pc_keyb.c is not worse example).

Gleb.

Hi everyone.

I am poring Linux 2.4 to MIPS(R3000).

I have a some problem. please tell me some direction or answer.

After the /sbin/init is started,  the elf handler is loaded.
          kernel message --> "Using ELF interpreter /lib/ld.so.1"
After elf handler is loaded,  the elf interperter is
loaded(load_elf_interp).
In the load_elf_interp funcion, padzero is not work.
       /*
         * Now fill out the bss section.  First pad the last page up
         * to the page boundary, and then perform a mmap to make sure
         * that there are zero-mapped pages up to and including the
         * last bss page.
         */
        padzero(elf_bss);

why the padzero function is not working?

Kang..

Hi all,

The Linus has run on my machine ( r3912 ).
I want to write a thread program.
It will fail in load library.
The kernel will show error message=20

Is there any patch files I need?
Appreciate in advance.

Hi all experts,
I download the bash-2.0.tar.gz.
If I want to build with cross-compiler (mipsel-linux-gcc),
how could I configure the environment.

The following is my configure command.

[ mips]$     CC=3Dmipsel-linux-gcc BUILD_CC=3Dgcc AR=3Dmipsel-linux-ar =
RANLIB=3Dmipsel-linux-ranlib=20
                    ./configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/ =
--host=3Dmipsel-linux --enable-add-ons=3Dyes

It should be wrong.
Who could tell me how to configure it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I try to run the test program which created the thread on MIPS machine.
But It always halt on call libpthread.so.0.
It was suspended when run into the thread function.
Even, "printf" didn't work.
I use the following for the case.
After the kernel load libpthread.so.0, process stopped.
This line "printf("-------> FirstThread\n");" didn't run.

What kind of resource does the pthread need?

Any reply is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
                                                                         =

Hi there,

Do you have MIPS R5900 hardware user guide?

Best,
Alex

This CPU was developed by TAEC but they don't have anything on their
website.  Looks to me like Sony is still sitting on the docs ...

Hi all,

I modified the /init/main.c to the following.
I skipped executing the "init" program.
But the program will stop after print "First Kernel thread".
Why??

Should I run the init program first or I forget to initialize something?
I try to change the library version, and the error still exist.

P.S  I use Mips r39xx machine.

                                                                         =

I have a fundamental question:

If I have to port LINUX on to new processor. How will I get address
mapping of different devices. Some of them are available in the manual.
Ex: NVram starting address is not available.
Iam porting on mips3k.

It may sound very dumb, but Iam stuck there.

Thanks

I would recommend looking at the list at linux-mips@oss.sgi.com.  I am
fairly sure there is an R3k port already being worked on.  I assume the
mips3k processor you refer to is the R3k (which is very similar to the
R2k)?

Hi all,

I am in the pthread problem.
I guess the reason is context switch.
So I trace the code /arch/mips/kernel/traps.c and =
/arch/mips/kernel/r2300_switch.S.
I have some question want to ask you.

1. What condition the kernel will simulate the instruction "ll" and =
"sc"?  (In the traps.c)
2. What is the functional of the variable "ll_bit" ? (In the traps.c)
3. What situation does kernel call the resune ? (In the r2300_switch.S)
4. The traps.c is initialize IDT( interrupt descripter table ), Right?

                                                                         =
                           Green

The Reserved Instruction exception is occured and fault intruction has
ll or sc opcode.

The sc emulation codemust know  by definition whether ll instruction has
been occured in the control sequence.

On context switch, it's implementation of switch_to.

Sort of.

It's more than two years since then but at that time I had Mozilla and
therefore NSPR running on Linux/MIPS; I've contributed all my patches
back for inclusion.

I simply want to tell tou that I have a Mips box. More precisely, I have
an old Sony NWS3260 with R3000 processor and 16Mb RAM and 430Mb SCSI HD.
It is a little dream for me to see Linux running on this box...
At this time, I'm also able to boot the system from an Iomega ZIP100
SCSI cartridge where I prepared a minimal installation of the native
sony news-os (an SVR4 unix). Apart from dos floppies, I haven't still
found any way to make this box to read filesystems different from its
own (so I had to appropriately format the Zip cartridge), nor I can use
the network boot facilities it offers (it seems to use a proprietary
protocol). Anyway, the Sony News is networked with my x86-based linux
box, so it can exchange files with the world in a simple way.

I'm not so skilled in code hacking, and I cannot guarantee that I'll
have enough time to spend for make the little dream to came true, but
please feel free to try contacting me: I'll help if I'll be able to.
Bye,

G.Gallone

Hi guys!

I just bought myself a SGI Indigo2 with an R8000 - I do like Linux a lot and use it on most of my Intel-based PCs, so naturally I would like to test it on this box as well. However, I would rate myself a beginner, though I 
am practicing hard :-) I was at Cebit in Germany last week, but the guys from SGI did not know shit, to tell the truth. 

Well, anyway, I will get some webspace soon, so naturally I would love to help you guys by opening up a mirror site. Just tell me what to do.

Yours,

Jay

Hi,

   I am trying to use insmod on a MIPS platform.  I try to install a si=
mple module & get the following errors:

   local symbol gcc2_compiled. with index 10 exceeds local_symtab_size =
10
   local symbol __gnu_compiled_c with index 11 exceeds local_symtab_siz=
e 10

   I use the following line for generating the object file:
   mipsel-linux-gcc -D__KERNEL__  -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O=
2 -fomit-frame-pointer  -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mcpu=3Dr3000 -mlon=
g-calls -mips1 -pipe  -c

   I am using modutils version 2.3.11.  We have tried both Debian and R=
edHat sources cross-compiled for MIPS with the following options:
CC=3Dmipsel-linux-gcc CFLAGS=3D"-I../linux/include -DMIPS" RANLIB=3Dmip=
sel-linux-ranlib AR=3Dmipsel-linux-ar ./configure  --disable-kerneld
--disable-compat-2-0 --enable-insmod-static --target=3Dmipsel-linux
However the problem still remains.

   Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

   Best regards,

   Rajesh

This is a gas bug which somebody just fixed.  As a workaround for the time
until we can deploy the fix please re-link modules with a command like
ld -r -o new.o broken.o.

That's correct.

Please upgrade to the latest modutils from ftp.kernel.org; it has a bugfixes
which are important for MIPS.

Hi all,

I want to port pcmcia driver to my MIPS box.
How could I begin?

I find that there is a line in the /init/main.c such like the following:

#ifdef CONFIG_PCMCIA
 init_pcmcia_ds();  /* Do this last */
#endif

The init_pcmcia_ds() function is implemented at /drivers/pcmcia/ds.c.
Should I add a CONFIG_PCMCIA label to the .config file and enable this =
config ?

Which file should I trace and modify?

Any reply is appreciated.

Best regards,
Green
