Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Allow FPU emulator to use non-stack area.
From: David Daney <david.daney@...ium.com>
In order for MIPS to be able to support a non-executable stack, we
need to supply a method to specify a userspace area that can be used
for executing emulated branch delay slot instructions.
We add a new system call, sys_set_fpuemul_xol_area so that userspace
threads that are using the FPU can specify the location of the FPU
emulation out of line execution area.
Background:
MIPS floating point support requires that any instruction that cannot
be directly executed by the FPU, be emulated by the kernel. Part of
this emulation involves executing non-FPU instructions that fall in
the delay slots of FP branch instructions. Since the beginning of
MIPS/Linux time, this has been done by placing the instructions on the
userspace thread stack, and executing them there, as the instructions
must be executed in the MM context of the thread receiving the
emulation.
Because of this, the de facto MIPS Linux userspace ABI requires that
the userspace thread have an executable stack. It is de facto,
because it is not written anywhere that this must be the case, but it
is never the less a requirement.
Problem:
How do we get MIPS Linux to use a non-executable stack in the face of
the FPU emulation problem?
Since userspace desires to change the ABI, put some of the onus on the
userspace code. Any userspace thread desiring a non-executable stack,
must allocate a 4-byte aligned area at least 8 bytes long with that
has read/write/execute permissions and pass the address of that area
to the kernel with the new sys_set_fpuemul_xol_area system call.
This is similar to how we require userspace to notify the kernel of
the value of the thread local pointer.

This patch has only been compile tested, and lacks the userspace
component. It is presented as an alternate approch to the recently
proposed MIPS non-executable stack patches posted here:
