ftrace: Synchronize the initialization of ftrace_opsgrafted
There's some internal state that ftrace_ops needs to have set, but since
it can be declared outside of the ftrace.c code, it calls
ftrace_ops_init() on the ops in every global function. The issue is that
if two tasks call it on the same ops at the same time it is possible to
have the initialization of one corrupt the initialization of the other
call.
Create a ops_mutex to use to synchronize every initialization of the
ftrace_ops. The mutex is taken within checking the ftrace_ops flag that
states it was initializied but the flag is checked again after the mutex
has been taken. Checking first outside the mutex allows it to shortcut
having to take the mutex. But then the check needs to be done again after
the mute is taken in case of races.

First and worst is that the kernel + passes in a pointer to the FPE's state area. This is defined + as a struct user_fp (see user.h). This pointer was cast to a + FPA11*. Unfortunately FPA11 and user_fp are of different sizes; + user_fp is smaller. This meant that the FPE scribbled on things + below its area, which is bad, as the area is in the thread_struct + embedded in the process task structure. Thus we were scribbling + over one of the most important structures in the entire OS. + + * user_fp and FPA11 have now been harmonized. Most of the changes + in the above code were dereferencing problems due to moving the + register type out of FPREG, and getting rid of the union variable + fpvalue. + + * Second I noticed resetFPA11 was not always being called for a + task. This should happen on the first floating point exception + that occurs. It is controlled by init_flag in FPA11. The + comment in the code beside init_flag state the kernel guarantees + this to be zero. Not so. I found that the kernel recycles task + structures, and that recycled ones may not have init_flag zeroed. + I couldn't even find anything that guarantees it is zeroed when + when the task structure is initially allocated. In any case + I now initialize the entire FPE state in the thread structure to + zero when allocated and recycled. See alloc_task_struct() and + flush_thread() in arch/arm/process.c. The change to + alloc_task_struct() may not be necessary, but I left it in for + completeness (better safe than sorry). + +1998-11-23 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org> + + * README.FPE - fix typo in description of lfm/sfm instructions + * NOTES - Added file to describe known bugs/problems + * fpmodule.c - Changed version number to 0.94 + +1998-11-20 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org> + + * README.FPE - fix description of URD, NRM instructions + * TODO - remove URD, NRM instructions from TODO list + * single_cpdo.c - implement URD, NRM + * double_cpdo.c - implement URD, NRM + * extended_cpdo.c - implement URD, NRM + +1998-11-19 Scott Bambrough <scottb@netwinder.org> + + * ChangeLog - Added this file to track changes made. + * fpa11.c - added code to initialize register types to typeNone + * fpa11_cpdt.c - fixed bug in storeExtended (typeExtended changed to + typeDouble in switch statement) |
