Subject: RFC: parisc regset support
Date: Sun, 1 May 2016 11:25:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5725CB8B.7010206@gmx.de> (raw)
Hi all,
Earlier this month I posted a patch which adds regset support
to parisc and which I'm planning to push for kernel v4.7:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8787691/
In this patch is the "new" user-visible regset
which I've laid out like this:
> +struct user_regs_struct {
> + unsigned long gr[32]; /* PSW is in gr[0] */
> + unsigned long sr[8];
> + unsigned long iaoq[2];
> + unsigned long iasq[2];
> + unsigned long sar; /* CR11 */
> + unsigned long iir; /* CR19 */
> + unsigned long isr; /* CR20 */
> + unsigned long ior; /* CR21 */
> + unsigned long ipsw; /* CR22 */
> + unsigned long cr0;
> + unsigned long cr24, cr25, cr26, cr27, cr28, cr29, cr30, cr31;
> + unsigned long cr8, cr9, cr12, cr13, cr10, cr15;
> + unsigned long _pad[80-64]; /* pad to ELF_NGREG (80) */
> +};
Current glibc versions use this definition in
/usr/include/hppa-linux-gnu/sys/ucontext.h
/* Container for all general registers. */
typedef struct gregset
{
greg_t g_regs[32];
greg_t sr_regs[8];
greg_t cr_regs[24];
greg_t g_pad[16];
} gregset_t;
What is you opinion on this change, e.g. using explicit names of the
control registers and their order?
By the way, the order I choosed is modelled after the in-kernel
ELF/core-dump code which can be seen in arch/parisc/include/asm/elf.h:
/*
* Fill in general registers in a core dump. This saves pretty
* much the same registers as hp-ux, although in a different order.
* Registers marked # below are not currently saved in pt_regs, so
* we use their current values here.
*
* gr0..gr31
* sr0..sr7
* iaoq0..iaoq1
* iasq0..iasq1
* cr11 (sar)
* cr19 (iir)
* cr20 (isr)
* cr21 (ior)
* # cr22 (ipsw)
* # cr0 (recovery counter)
* # cr24..cr31 (temporary registers)
* # cr8,9,12,13 (protection IDs)
* # cr10 (scr/ccr)
* # cr15 (ext int enable mask)
*
*/
