set_thread_area.2: csky architecture undocumented

set_thread_area.2: csky architecture undocumented

[Alejandro Colomar (man-pages)]

Hi Michael,

SYNOPSIS
       #include <linux/unistd.h>

       #if defined __i386__ || defined __x86_64__
       # include <asm/ldt.h>

       int get_thread_area(struct user_desc *u_info);
       int set_thread_area(struct user_desc *u_info);

       #elif defined __m68k__

       int get_thread_area(void);
       int set_thread_area(unsigned long tp);

       #elif defined __mips__

       int set_thread_area(unsigned long addr);

       #endif

       Note: There are no glibc wrappers for these system  calls;  see
       NOTES.


$ grep -rn 'SYSCALL_DEFINE.*et_thread_area'
arch/csky/kernel/syscall.c:6:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(set_thread_area, unsigned long, addr)
arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c:86:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(set_thread_area, unsigned long, addr)
arch/x86/kernel/tls.c:191:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(set_thread_area, struct user_desc __user *, u_info)
arch/x86/kernel/tls.c:243:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(get_thread_area, struct user_desc __user *, u_info)
arch/x86/um/tls_32.c:277:

arch/x86/um/tls_32.c:325:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(get_thread_area, struct user_desc __user *, user_desc)


See kernel commit 4859bfca11c7d63d55175bcd85a75d6cee4b7184


I'd change
-      #elif defined __mips__
+      #elif defined(__mips__ || __csky__)

and then change the rest of the text to add csky when appropriate.
Am I correct?

Thanks,

Alex

As far as I can tell, you are correct.

AFAICT, you are correct. I think the reason that csky is missing is
that the architecture was added after this manual pages was added.

Re: set_thread_area.2: csky architecture undocumented

[Guo Ren]

Thx Michael & Alejandro,

Yes, the man page has no csky's.

C-SKY have abiv1 and abiv2
For abiv1: There is no register for tls saving, We use trap 3 to got
tls and use set_thread_area to init ti->tp_value.
For abiv2: The r31 is the tls register. We could directly read r31 to
got r31 and use set_thread_area to init reg->tls value.

In glibc:
# ifdef __CSKYABIV2__
/* Define r31 as thread pointer register.  */
#  define READ_THREAD_POINTER() \
        mov r0, r31;
# else
#  define READ_THREAD_POINTER() \
        trap 3;
# endif

/* Code to initially initialize the thread pointer.  This might need
   special attention since 'errno' is not yet available and if the
   operation can cause a failure 'errno' must not be touched.  */
# define TLS_INIT_TP(tcbp) \
  ({ INTERNAL_SYSCALL_DECL (err);                                       \
     long result_var;                                                   \
     result_var = INTERNAL_SYSCALL (set_thread_area, err, 1,            \
                    (char *) (tcbp) + TLS_TCB_OFFSET);                  \
     INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P (result_var, err)                         \
       ? "unknown error" : NULL; })

In kernel:
SYSCALL_DEFINE1(set_thread_area, unsigned long, addr)
{
        struct thread_info *ti = task_thread_info(current);
        struct pt_regs *reg = current_pt_regs();

        reg->tls = addr;
        ti->tp_value = addr;

        return 0;
}

Any comments are welcome :)

[Alejandro Colomar (mailing lists; readonly)]

Hi Guo,

Thanks for the details!
I'll try to add csky to the man page,
and if I have any doubts I'll ask you.
Anyway, I'll CC you in any change I propose.

Cheers,

Alex

I've applied a patch to add initial documentation for it:

I'm sorry, but I have little understanding of this syscall, and that
shounds like gibberish to me :)

Feel free to send a patch to improve the documentation for csky.
