2014-08-02MIPS: Remove old core dump functionsAlex Smith
Since the core dumper now uses regsets, the old core dump functions are now unused. Remove them. Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/7456/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2014-01-13MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binariesPaul Burton
CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32 bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a 64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF header. With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't require it. Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more cleanly & correctly.

2013-02-01MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.Ralf Baechle
Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling in forever. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2010-12-16MIPS: Don't clobber personality high bits.David Daney
The high bits of current->personality carry settings that we don't want to clobber on each exec. Only clobber them if the lower bits that indicate either PER_LINUX or PER_LINUX32 are invalid. The clobbering prevents us from using useful bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.

2010-08-05MIPS: Enable heap randomization.David Daney
Based somewhat on the PPC implementation. 32-bit processes have the heap randomized in an 8MB space, 256MB for 64-bit processes.

2010-04-12MIPS: Preliminary VDSODavid Daney
This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack. We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is mapped into this space.

2010-04-12MIPS: Fix elfcore.c build warningRalf Baechle
kernel/elfcore.c includes <linux/elf.h> which includes the <asm/elf.h>. In <asm/elf.h>, struct pt_regs is declared inside the parameter list of the elf_dump_regs function which causes a kernel build warning. Fixed by adding a forward declaration of struct pt_regs.

2010-02-27MIPS: Allow the auxv's elf_platform entry to be set.David Daney
The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries optimized for the current CPU archecture variant. First we need to allow it to be set to something other than NULL. Follow-on patches will set some values for specific CPUs. GLIBC already does the right thing. The kernel just needs to supply good data.

2009-12-16elf: kill USE_ELF_CORE_DUMPChristoph Hellwig
Currently all architectures but microblaze unconditionally define USE_ELF_CORE_DUMP. The microblaze omission seems like an error to me, so let's kill this ifdef and make sure we are the same everywhere.

2009-07-03MIPS: 64-bit: Fix o32 core dumpYong Zhang
If an o32 process generates a core dump on a 64 bit kernel, the core file will not be correctly recognized. This is because ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS are not correctly defined for o32 and will use the default register set which would be CONFIG_64BIT in asm/elf.h. So we'll switch to use the right register defines in this situation by checking for WANT_COMPAT_REG_H and use the right defines of ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS.
