Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

Unfortunately, this alone can't be used to implement the following operations: + + (*) Atomic add to memory + + (*) Atomic subtract from memory + + (*) Atomic bit modification (set, clear or invert) + + (*) Atomic compare and exchange + +On such CPUs, the standard way of emulating such operations in uniprocessor mode is to disable +interrupts, but on the FR-V CPUs, modifying the PSR takes a lot of clock cycles, and it has to be +done twice. This means the CPU runs for a relatively long time with interrupts disabled, +potentially having a great effect on interrupt latency. + + +============= +NEW ALGORITHM +============= + +To get around this, the following algorithm has been implemented. It operates in a way similar to +the LL/SC instruction pairs supported on a number of platforms. + + (*) The CCCR.CC3 register is reserved within the kernel to act as an atomic modify abort flag. + + (*) In the exception prologues run on kernel->kernel entry, CCCR.CC3 is set to 0 (Undefined + state). + + (*) All atomic operations can then be broken down into the following algorithm: + + (1) Set ICC3.Z to true and set CC3 to True (ORCC/CKEQ/ORCR). + + (2) Load the value currently in the memory to be modified into a register. + + (3) Make changes to the value. + + (4) If CC3 is still True, simultaneously and atomically (by VLIW packing): + + (a) Store the modified value back to memory. + + (b) Set ICC3.Z to false (CORCC on GR29 is sufficient for this - GR29 holds the current + task pointer in the kernel, and so is guaranteed to be non-zero). + + (5) If ICC3.Z is still true, go back to step (1). + +This works in a non-SMP environment because any interrupt or other exception that happens between +steps (1) and (4) will set CC3 to the Undefined, thus aborting the store in (4a), and causing the +condition in ICC3 to remain with the Z flag set, thus causing step (5) to loop back to step (1). + + +This algorithm suffers from two problems: + + (1) The condition CCCR.CC3 is cleared unconditionally by an exception, irrespective of whether or + not any changes were made to the target memory location during that exception. + + (2) The branch from step (5) back to step (1) may have to happen more than once until the store + manages to take place. In theory, this loop could cycle forever because there are too many + interrupts coming in, but it's unlikely. + + +======= +EXAMPLE +======= + +Taking an example from include/asm-frv/atomic.h: + + static inline int atomic_add_return(int i, atomic_t *v) + { + unsigned long val; + + asm("0: \n" + +It starts by setting ICC3.Z to true for later use, and also transforming that into CC3 being in the +True state. + + " orcc gr0,gr0,gr0,icc3 \n" <-- (1) + " ckeq icc3,cc7 \n" <-- (1) + +Then it does the load. Note that the final phase of step (1) is done at the same time as the +load. The VLIW packing ensures they are done simultaneously. The ".p" on the load must not be +removed without swapping the order of these two instructions. + + " ld.p %M0,%1 \n" <-- (2) + " orcr cc7,cc7,cc3 \n" <-- (1) + +Then the proposed modification is generated. Note that the old value can be retained if required +(such as in test_and_set_bit()). + + " add%I2 %1,%2,%1 \n" <-- (3) + +Then it attempts to store the value back, contingent on no exception having cleared CC3 since it +was set to True. + + " cst.p %1,%M0 ,cc3,#1 \n" <-- (4a) + +It simultaneously records the success or failure of the store in ICC3.Z. + + " corcc gr29,gr29,gr0 ,cc3,#1 \n" <-- (4b) + +Such that the branch can then be taken if the operation was aborted. + + " beq icc3,#0,0b \n" <-- (5) + : "+U"(v->counter), "=&r"(val) + : "NPr"(i) + : "memory", "cc7", "cc3", "icc3" + ); + + return val; + } + + +============= +CONFIGURATION +============= + +The atomic ops implementation can be made inline or out-of-line by changing the +CONFIG_FRV_OUTOFLINE_ATOMIC_OPS configuration variable.

Note that if the GDB-stub is compiled in, +then the kernel will immediately wait for GDB to connect over serial before +doing anything else. See the section on kernel debugging with GDB. + +The kernel command line <CMDLINE> tells the kernel where its console is and +how to find its root filesystem. This is made up of the following components, +separated by spaces: + + (*) console=ttyS<x>[,<baud>[<parity>[<bits>[<flow>]]]] + + This specifies that the system console should output through on-chip + serial port <x> (which can be "0" or "1"). + + <baud> is a standard baud rate between 1200 and 115200 (default 9600). + + <parity> is a parity setting of "N", "O", "E", "M" or "S" for None, Odd, + Even, Mark or Space. "None" is the default. + + <stop> is "7" or "8" for the number of bits per character. "8" is the + default. + + <flow> is "r" to use flow control (XCTS on serial port 2 only). The + default is to not use flow control. + + For example: + + console=ttyS0,115200 + + To use the first on-chip serial port at baud rate 115200, no parity, 8 + bits, and no flow control. + + (*) root=/dev/<xxxx> + + This specifies the device upon which the root filesystem resides.

If <cfg> is "off" then <ip> should + specify the IP address for the network device <iface>. <host> provide + the hostname for the device. + + If <cfg> is "bootp" or "dhcp", then all of these parameters will be + discovered by consulting a BOOTP or DHCP server. + + For example, the following might be used: + + ip=192.168.73.12::::frv:eth0:off + + This sets the IP address on the VDK motherboard RTL8029 ethernet chipset + (eth0) to be 192.168.73.12, and sets the board's hostname to be "frv". + + (*) nfsroot=<server>:<dir>[,v<vers>] + + This is mandatory if "root=/dev/nfs" is given as an option. It tells the + kernel the IP address of the NFS server providing its root filesystem, + and the pathname on that server of the filesystem. + + The NFS version to use can also be specified. v2 and v3 are supported by + Linux. + + For example: + + nfsroot=192.168.73.1:/nfsroot-frv + + (*) profile=1 + + Turns on the kernel profiler (accessible through /proc/profile). + + (*) console=gdb0 + + This can be used as an alternative to the "console=ttyS..." listed + above.

The arch interrupt handling + routines attempt to disentangle the various sources available through the + CPU's own multiplexor, and those on off-CPU peripherals. + + + (*) Accessing PCI Devices + + Where PCI is available, care must be taken when dealing with drivers that + access PCI devices. PCI devices present their data in little-endian form, + but the CPU sees it in big-endian form. The macros in asm/io.h try to get + this right, but may not under all circumstances... + + + (*) Ax88796 Ethernet Driver + + The MB93093 PDK board has an Ax88796 ethernet chipset (an NE2000 clone). A + driver has been written to deal specifically with this. The driver + provides MII services for the card. + + The driver can be configured by running make xconfig, and going to: + + (*) Network device support + - turn on "Network device support" + (*) Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) + - turn on "Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)" + - turn on "AX88796 NE2000 compatible chipset" + + The driver can be found in: + + drivers/net/ax88796.c + include/asm/ax88796.h + + + (*) WorkRAM Driver + + This driver provides a character device that permits access to the WorkRAM + that can be found on the FR451 CPU. Each page is accessible through a + separate minor number, thereby permitting each page to have its own + filesystem permissions set on the device file. + + The device files should be: + + mknod /dev/frv/workram0 c 240 0 + mknod /dev/frv/workram1 c 240 1 + mknod /dev/frv/workram2 c 240 2 + ... + + The driver will not permit the opening of any device file that does not + correspond to at least a partial page of WorkRAM. So the first device file + is the only one available on the FR451. If any other CPU is detected, none + of the devices will be openable. + + The devices can be accessed with read, write and llseek, and can also be + mmapped. If they're mmapped, they will only map at the appropriate + 0x7e8nnnnn address on linux and at the 0xfe8nnnnn address on uClinux. If + MAP_FIXED is not specified, the appropriate address will be chosen anyway. + + The mappings must be MAP_SHARED not MAP_PRIVATE, and must not be + PROT_EXEC. They must also start at file offset 0, and must not be longer + than one page in size. + + This driver can be configured by running make xconfig, and going to: + + (*) Character devices + - turn on "Fujitsu FR-V CPU WorkRAM support" + + + (*) Dynamic data cache write mode changing + + It is possible to view and to change the data cache's write mode through + the /proc/sys/frv/cache-mode file while the kernel is running. There are + two modes available: + + NAME MEANING + ===== ========================================== + wthru Data cache is in Write-Through mode + wback Data cache is in Write-Back/Copy-Back mode + + To read the cache mode: + + # cat /proc/sys/frv/cache-mode + wthru + + To change the cache mode: + + # echo wback >/proc/sys/frv/cache-mode + # cat /proc/sys/frv/cache-mode + wback + + + (*) MMU Context IDs and Pinning + + On MMU Linux the CPU supports the concept of a context ID in its MMU to + make it more efficient (TLB entries are labelled with a context ID to link + them to specific tasks). + + Normally once a context ID is allocated, it will remain affixed to a task + or CLONE_VM'd group of tasks for as long as it exists. However, since the + kernel is capable of supporting more tasks than there are possible ID + numbers, the kernel will pass context IDs from one task to another if + there are insufficient available. + + The context ID currently in use by a task can be viewed in /proc: + + # grep CXNR /proc/1/status + CXNR: 1 + + Note that kernel threads do not have a userspace context, and so will not + show a CXNR entry in that file. + + Under some circumstances, however, it is desirable to pin a context ID on + a process such that the kernel won't pass it on. This can be done by + writing the process ID of the target process to a special file: + + # echo 17 >/proc/sys/frv/pin-cxnr + + Reading from the file will then show the context ID pinned. + + # cat /proc/sys/frv/pin-cxnr + 4 + + The context ID will remain pinned as long as any process is using that + context, i.e.: when the all the subscribing processes have exited or + exec'd; or when an unpinning request happens: + + # echo 0 >/proc/sys/frv/pin-cxnr + + When there isn't a pinned context, the file shows -1: + + # cat /proc/sys/frv/pin-cxnr + -1 diff --git

DEBUGGING FR-V LINUX + ==================== + + +The kernel contains a GDB stub that talks GDB remote protocol across a serial +port. This permits GDB to single step through the kernel, set breakpoints and +trap exceptions that happen in kernel space and interrupt execution. It also +permits the NMI interrupt button or serial port events to jump the kernel into +the debugger. + +On the CPUs that have on-chip UARTs (FR400, FR403, FR405, FR555), the +GDB stub hijacks a serial port for its own purposes, and makes it +generate level 15 interrupts (NMI). The kernel proper cannot see the serial +port in question under these conditions. + +On the MB93091-VDK CPU boards, the GDB stub uses UART1, which would otherwise +be /dev/ttyS1. On the MB93093-PDK, the GDB stub uses UART0. Therefore, on the +PDK there is no externally accessible serial port and the serial port to +which the touch screen is attached becomes /dev/ttyS0. + +Note that the GDB stub runs entirely within CPU debug mode, and so should not +incur any exceptions or interrupts whilst it is active. In particular, note +that the clock will lose time since it is implemented in software. + + +================== +KERNEL PREPARATION +================== + +Firstly, a debuggable kernel must be built. To do this, unpack the kernel tree +and copy the configuration that you wish to use to .config. Then reconfigure +the following things on the "Kernel Hacking" tab: + + (*) "Include debugging information" + + Set this to "Y". This causes all C and Assembly files to be compiled + to include debugging information. + + (*) "In-kernel GDB stub" + + Set this to "Y". This causes the GDB stub to be compiled into the + kernel. + + (*) "Immediate activation" + + Set this to "Y" if you want the GDB stub to activate as soon as possible + and wait for GDB to connect. This allows you to start tracing right from + the beginning of start_kernel() in init/main.c. + + (*) "Console through GDB stub" + + Set this to "Y" if you wish to be able to use "console=gdb0" on the + command line. That tells the kernel to pass system console messages to + GDB (which then prints them on its standard output). This is useful when + debugging the serial drivers that'd otherwise be used to pass console + messages to the outside world. + +Then build as usual, download to the board and execute. Note that if +"Immediate activation" was selected, then the kernel will wait for GDB to +attach. If not, then the kernel will boot immediately and GDB will have to +interupt it or wait for an exception to occur if before doing anything with +the kernel. + + +========================= +KERNEL DEBUGGING WITH GDB +========================= + +Set the serial port on the computer that's going to run GDB to the appropriate +baud rate. Assuming the board's debug port is connected to ttyS0/COM1 on the +computer doing the debugging: + + stty -F /dev/ttyS0 115200 + +Then start GDB in the base of the kernel tree: + + frv-uclinux-gdb linux [uClinux] + +Or: + + frv-uclinux-gdb vmlinux [MMU linux] + +When the prompt appears: + + GNU gdb frv-031024 + Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are + welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. + Type "show copying" to see the conditions. + There is absolutely no warranty for GDB. Type "show warranty" for details. + This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=frv-uclinux"... + (gdb) + +Attach to the board like this: + + (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 + Remote debugging using /dev/ttyS0 + start_kernel () at init/main.c:395 + (gdb) + +This should show the appropriate lines from the source too. The kernel can +then be debugged almost as if it's any other program. + + +=============================== +INTERRUPTING THE RUNNING KERNEL +=============================== + +The kernel can be interrupted whilst it is running, causing a jump back to the +GDB stub and the debugger: + + (*) Pressing Ctrl-C in GDB. This will cause GDB to try and interrupt the + kernel by sending an RS232 BREAK over the serial line to the GDB + stub. This will (mostly) immediately interrupt the kernel and return it + to the debugger. + + (*) Pressing the NMI button on the board will also cause a jump into the + debugger. + + (*) Setting a software breakpoint. This sets a break instruction at the + desired location which the GDB stub then traps the exception for. + + (*) Setting a hardware breakpoint. The GDB stub is capable of using the IBAR + and DBAR registers to assist debugging. + +Furthermore, the GDB stub will intercept a number of exceptions automatically +if they are caused by kernel execution. It will also intercept BUG() macro +invokation. + diff --git a/Documentation/fujitsu/frv/mmu-layout.txt b/Documentation/fujitsu/frv/mmu-layout.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..11dcc567988 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/fujitsu/frv/mmu-layout.txt @@ -0,0 +1,306 @@ + ================================= + FR451 MMU LINUX MEMORY MANAGEMENT + ================================= + +============ +MMU HARDWARE +============ + +FR451 MMU Linux puts the MMU into EDAT mode whilst running.

The kernel can then access this page as it +wills. When it's finished, the kernel calls kunmap() to clear the PTE. + +kmap_atomic() does something slightly different. In the interests of speed, it chooses one of two +strategies: + + (1) If possible, kmap_atomic() attaches the requested page to one of DAMPR5 through DAMPR10 + register pairs; and the matching kunmap_atomic() clears the DAMPR. This makes high memory + support really fast as there's no need to flush the TLB or modify the page tables. The DAMLR + registers being used for this are preset during boot and don't change over the lifetime of the + process. There's a direct mapping between the first few kmap_atomic() types, DAMR number and + virtual address slot. + + However, there are more kmap_atomic() types defined than there are DAMR registers available, + so we fall back to: + + (2) kmap_atomic() uses a slot in the secondary frame (determined by the type parameter), and then + locks an entry in the TLB to translate that slot to the specified page. The number of slots is + obviously limited, and their positions are controlled such that each slot is matched by a + different line in the TLB. kunmap() ejects the entry from the TLB. + +Note that the first three kmap atomic types are really just declared as placeholders. The DAMPR +registers involved are actually modified directly. + +Also note that kmap() itself may sleep, kmap_atomic() may never sleep and both always succeed; +furthermore, a driver using kmap() may sleep before calling kunmap(), but may not sleep before +calling kunmap_atomic() if it had previously called kmap_atomic(). + + +=============================== +USING MORE THAN 256MB OF MEMORY +=============================== + +The kernel cannot access more than 256MB of memory directly. The physical layout, however, permits +up to 3GB of SDRAM (possibly 3.25GB) to be made available. By using CONFIG_HIGHMEM, the kernel can +allow userspace (by way of page tables) and itself (by way of kmap) to deal with the memory +allocation. + +External devices can, of course, still DMA to and from all of the SDRAM, even if the kernel can't +see it directly. The kernel translates page references into real addresses for communicating to the +devices. + + +=================== +PAGE TABLE TOPOLOGY +=================== + +The page tables are arranged in 2-layer format. There is a middle layer (PMD) that would be used in +3-layer format tables but that is folded into the top layer (PGD) and so consumes no extra memory +or processing power. + + +------+ PGD PMD + | TTBR |--->+-------------------+ + +------+ | | : STE | + | PGE0 | PME0 : STE | + | | : STE | + +-------------------+ Page Table + | | : STE -------------->+--------+ +0x0000 + | PGE1 | PME0 : STE -----------+ | PTE0 | + | | : STE -------+ | +--------+ + +-------------------+ | | | PTE63 | + | | : STE | | +-->+--------+ +0x0100 + | PGE2 | PME0 : STE | | | PTE64 | + | | : STE | | +--------+ + +-------------------+ | | PTE127 | + | | : STE | +------>+--------+ +0x0200 + | PGE3 | PME0 : STE | | PTE128 | + | | : STE | +--------+ + +-------------------+ | PTE191 | + +--------+ +0x0300 + +Each Page Directory (PGD) is 16KB (page size) in size and is divided into 64 entries (PGEs). Each +PGE contains one Page Mid Directory (PMD). + +Each PMD is 256 bytes in size and contains a single entry (PME). Each PME holds 64 FR451 MMU +segment table entries of 4 bytes apiece. Each PME "points to" a page table. In practice, each STE +points to a subset of the page table, the first to PT+0x0000, the second to PT+0x0100, the third to +PT+0x200, and so on. + +Each PGE and PME covers 64MB of the total virtual address space. + +Each Page Table (PTD) is 16KB (page size) in size, and is divided into 4096 entries (PTEs). Each +entry can point to one 16KB page. In practice, each Linux page table is subdivided into 64 FR451 +MMU page tables. But they are all grouped together to make management easier, in particular rmap +support is then trivial. + +Grouping page tables in this fashion makes PGE caching in SCR0/SCR1 more efficient because the +coverage of the cached item is greater. + +Page tables for the vmalloc area are allocated at boot time and shared between all mm_structs. + + +================= +USER SPACE LAYOUT +================= + +For MMU capable Linux, the regions userspace code are allowed to access are kept entirely separate +from those dedicated to the kernel: + + VIRTUAL ADDRESS SIZE PURPOSE + ================= ===== =================================== + 00000000-00003fff 4KB NULL pointer access trap + 00004000-01ffffff ~32MB lower mmap space (grows up) + 02000000-021fffff 2MB Stack space (grows down from top) + 02200000-nnnnnnnn Executable mapping + nnnnnnnn- brk space (grows up) + -bfffffff upper mmap space (grows down) + +This is so arranged so as to make best use of the 16KB page tables and the way in which PGEs/PMEs +are cached by the TLB handler.
