Re: [PATCH v5] arm: Preserve the user r/w register TPIDRURW on contextswitch and fork
From: Jonathan Austin
Date: Fri Jun 07 2013 - 15:06:08 EST
Hi AndrÃ
This looks good to go - I've tested this version of the patch too (on
Versatile Express)
The next step is to put it in to Russell's patch system. This is the way
Russell manages (small/non-pull-request) things that need to go in to
his tree.
There are instructions on using the patch-system here:
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/info.php
If you're using git-format-patch and git-send-email then the main point
to note is the need to add the KernelVersion: tag described in that
documentation and also that Russell doesn't want '[Patch]' tags in
subject lines.
There's a form for creating yourself an account on the patch system at
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/add.php - I'm not actually
sure that an account is necessary to submit via email - but I *do* have
one and I've only ever used email so I suspect it might be!
Hope that helps,
Jonny

Since commit 6a1c53124aa1 the user writeable TLS register was zeroed to
prevent it from being used as a covert channel between two tasks.
There are more and more applications coming to Windows RT,
Wine could support them, but mostly they expect to have
the thread environment block (TEB) in TPIDRURW.
This patch preserves that register per thread instead of clearing it.
Unlike the TPIDRURO, which is already switched, the TPIDRURW
can be updated from userspace so needs careful treatment in the case that we
modify TPIDRURW and call fork(). To avoid this we must always read
TPIDRURW in copy_thread.

This patch is against Linux 3.10-rc2 (c7788792a5e7b0d5d7f96d0766b4cb6112d47d75)
v2: rework and fixup of v1, based on a suggested patch by Will Deacon
v3: total rework and fixup of v2
v4: removed condition on assembler instruction,
adapted my code to kernel-style, both based on comments by Will Deacon
v5: rebased v4 on 3.10-rc2 and adding this version history
As suggested by Jonathan Austin, i'll send this patch to RMK's patch tracker in
case there are no more comments on it.
Why so much Signed-off-bys? Some History:
The first patch had performance issues pointed out by Russel King,
so Will Deacon jumped in to help me with that. The second one again
had performance issues and the missing copy_thread part was uncovered.
After some iterations by me, Jonathan Austin proposed a patch and
Russel King sent his idea of the assembler part. All this was finally
merged and refined into this patch.
Thanks to everyone!
