These patches try to support context tracking for Power arch, beginning with
64-bit pSeries. The codes are ported from that of the x86_64, and in each
patch, I listed the corresponding patch for x86.
Would you please help review and give your comments?
v2:
I rebased the patches against 3.9-rcs, and also added a patch to replace
the exception handling with the generic code in tip timers/nohz.
I assume these patches would get in through powerpc tree, so I didn't combine
the new patch (#6) with the original one (#2). So that if powerpc tree picks
these, it could pick the first five patches, and apply patch #6 later
when the dependency enters into powerpc tree (maybe on some 3.10-rcs).
I'm also wondering whether it is possible for these to go through
tip timers/nohz, so for now, patches #6 and #2 could be combined into one, and
no need to worry about the issues caused by arch/common code merging. And it
might also make future changes easier.
Thanks, Zhong

This is the exception hooks for context tracking subsystem, including
data access, program check, single step, instruction breakpoint, machine check,
alignment, fp unavailable, altivec assist, unknown exception, whose handlers
might use RCU.
This patch corresponds to
[PATCH] x86: Exception hooks for userspace RCU extended QS

context_tracking: Move exception handling to generic code
6c1e0256fad84a843d915414e4b5973b7443d48d
context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception exit
it is able for this patch to replace the implementation in arch code
with the generic code in above commits.

[PATCH] x86: Syscall hooks for userspace RCU extended QS
commit bf5a3c13b939813d28ce26c01425054c740d6731
TIF_MEMDIE is moved to the second 16-bits (with value 17), as it seems there
is no asm code using it. TIF_NOHZ is added to _TIF_SYCALL_T_OR_A, so it is
better for it to be in the same 16 bits with others in the group, so in the
asm code, andi. with this group could work.

Is there a reason why you didn't put the exception_exit() call in
ret_from_except_lite in entry_64.S, and the exception_entry() call in
EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON? That would seem to catch all these cases in
a more centralized place.
Also, I notice that with the exception_exit calls where they are, we
can still deliver signals (thus possibly taking a page fault) or call
schedule() for preemption after the exception_exit() call. Is that
OK, or is it a potential problem?
Paul.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your review! Please check my answers below, and correct me if
any errors.
> Is there a reason why you didn't put the exception_exit() call in
> ret_from_except_lite in entry_64.S, and the exception_entry() call in

It seems to me that ret_from_except_lite and EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON are
also used by interrupts, where I think we don't need the hooks. So using
this way could help to avoid adding overhead to these code path
(interrupts, and some exit path of syscall).
And I think adding the hook on higher level code seems a little easier
for reading and checking. It seems that some exceptions don't use
EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON, and some don't go ret_from_except_lite exit
path (like fp unavailable might go directly to fast_exception_return ).
Maybe fast_exception_return is a centralized place for us to return to
user space? But it still adds some overheads which is not necessarily
needed.
And I think it also makes the implementation here consistent with the
style that x86 uses.

If I understand correctly, I guess you are talking about the cases where
we might return to user space without context state correctly being set
as in user?
There is user_enter() called in do_notify_resume() in patch #3, so after
handling the signals we always call user_enter().
There are also some changes of the context_tracking code from Frederic,
which might be related: ( they are now in tip tree, and url of the
patches for your convenience https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/1/266 )
6c1e0256fad84a843d915414e4b5973b7443d48d
context_tracking: Restore correct previous context state on exception
exit.
With this patch, if a later exception happened after user_enter(),
before the CPU actually returns to user space, the correct context
state(in user) is saved and restored when handling the later exception.
Patch #6 converts the code to use these new APIs, which is currently not
available in powerpc tree.
b22366cd54c6fe05db426f20adb10f461c19ec06
context_tracking: Restore preempted context state after
preempt_schedule_irq
With this patch, the user context state could be correctly restored
after schedule returns.
Thanks, Zhong

Yes, for current mainline (powerpc tree), only previous five patches
could be applied. The dependency of this patch is current in tip tree,
and seems would be in for 3.10.
There are some more details in the cover letter (#0):
"I assume these patches would get in through powerpc tree, so I didn't
combine the new patch (#6) with the original one (#2). So that if
powerpc tree picks these, it could pick the first five patches, and
apply patch #6 later when the dependency enters into powerpc tree (maybe
on some 3.10-rcs)."
