[PATCH 3/3] MIPS: Add DSP ASE regset support

From: Maciej W. Rozycki
Date: Tue May 15 2018 - 18:35:48 EST


Define an NT_MIPS_DSP core file note type and implement a corresponding
regset holding the DSP ASE register context, following the layout of the
`mips_dsp_state' structure, except for the DSPControl register stored as
a 64-bit rather than 32-bit quantity in a 64-bit note.

The lack of DSP ASE register saving to core files can be considered a
design flaw with commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP
ASE."), leading to an incomplete state being saved. Consequently no DSP
ASE regset has been created with commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement
task_user_regset_view."), when regset support was added to the MIPS
port.

Additionally there is no way for ptrace(2) to correctly access the DSP
accumulator registers in n32 processes with the existing interfaces.
This is due to 32-bit truncation of data passed with PTRACE_PEEKUSR and
PTRACE_POKEUSR requests, which cannot be avoided owing to how the data
types for ptrace(3) have been defined. This new NT_MIPS_DSP regset
fills the missing interface gap.

Hi,

This was verified with 32-bit DSP and non-DSP hardware configurations by
dumping cores and examining, with `readelf', the notes created. In the
former case DSP registers were filled with patterns by the program being
crashed and the patterns verified in the core file produced. I have no
64-bit DSP hardware handy, but the same code has been used, except for the
data type holding register data, for both 32-bit and 64-bit notes, so it
should be obviously correct.

As noted in the commit description I consider it a design flaw and
therefore I think it makes sense to backport this change and propose doing
so.

Maciej
