MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library) VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime(). To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool (genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type. genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image" containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is compiled into the kernel. On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI, so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by the mips_abi structure. A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time function implementations which are added later. [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Add more comments - Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function that needs it. - Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance. - Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking. - Simplify Makefile a little bit. - checkpatch fixes - Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6 - Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64] Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: Matthew Fortune <matthew.fortune@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11337/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which is done below the VDSO data page. When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall path. When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However, gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path. This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect) value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable amount of time. A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz): - Syscall: ~31000 ns - VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns - VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns [markos.chandras@imgtec.com: - Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made in the order they appear to the process' address space. - Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef - Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver] Signed-off-by: Alex Smith <alex.smith@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/11338/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
