Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Reimplement __get_SP() as a function not a define

From: Anton Blanchard <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2014 15:10:00 +1000

Li Zhong points out an issue with our current __get_SP()
implementation. If ftrace function tracing is enabled (ie -pg
profiling using _mcount) we spill a stack frame on 64bit all the
time.

If a function calls __get_SP() and later calls a function that is
tail call optimised, we will pop the stack frame and the value
returned by __get_SP() is no longer valid. An example from Li can
be found in save_stack_trace -> save_context_stack:

c0000000000432c0 <.save_stack_trace>:
c0000000000432c0:       mflr    r0
c0000000000432c4:       std     r0,16(r1)
c0000000000432c8:       stdu    r1,-128(r1) <-- stack frame for _mcount
c0000000000432cc:       std     r3,112(r1)
c0000000000432d0:       bl      <._mcount>
c0000000000432d4:       nop

c0000000000432d8:       mr      r4,r1 <-- __get_SP()

c0000000000432dc:       ld      r5,632(r13)
c0000000000432e0:       ld      r3,112(r1)
c0000000000432e4:       li      r6,1

c0000000000432e8:       addi    r1,r1,128 <-- pop stack frame

c0000000000432ec:       ld      r0,16(r1)
c0000000000432f0:       mtlr    r0
c0000000000432f4:       b       <.save_context_stack> <-- tail call optimized

save_context_stack ends up with a stack pointer below the current
one, and it is likely to be scribbled over.

Fix this by making __get_SP() a function which returns the
callers stack frame. Also replace inline assembly which grabs
the stack pointer in save_stack_trace and show_stack with
__get_SP().
