[PATCH v10 08/14] powerpc/vas: Update CSB and notify process for fault CRBs

Thu Apr 2 18:14:54 AEDT 2020


Applications polls on CSB for the status update after requests are
issued. NX process these requests and update the CSB with the status.
If it encounters translation error, pastes CRB in fault FIFO and
raises an interrupt. The kernel handles fault by reading CRB from
fault FIFO and process the fault CRB.

For each fault CRB, update fault address in CRB (fault_storage_addr)
and translation error status in CSB so that user space can touch the
fault address and resend the request. If the user space passed invalid
CSB address send signal to process with SIGSEGV.

In the case of multi-thread applications, child thread may not be
available. So if the task is not running, send signal to tgid.
