ARC: perf: Accommodate big-endian CPU

2019-11-28T17:29:03+00:00

commit 5effc09c4907901f0e71e68e5f2e14211d9a203f upstream.

8-letter strings representing ARC perf events are stores in two
32-bit registers as ASCII characters like that: "IJMP", "IALL", "IJMPTAK" etc.

And the same order of bytes in the word is used regardless CPU endianness.

Which means in case of big-endian CPU core we need to swap bytes to get
the same order as if it was on little-endian CPU.

Otherwise we're seeing the following error message on boot:
------------------------->8----------------------
ARC perf        : 8 counters (32 bits), 40 conditions, [overflow IRQ support]

------------------------->8----------------------

What happens here we're trying to register more than one raw perf event
with the same name "PMJI". Why? Because ARC perf events are 4 to 8 letters
and encoded into two 32-bit words. In this particular case we deal with 2
events:
 * "IJMP____" which counts all jump & branch instructions
 * "IJMPC___" which counts only conditional jumps & branches

Those strings are split in two 32-bit words this way "IJMP" + "____" &
"IJMP" + "C___" correspondingly. Now if we read them swapped due to CPU core
being big-endian then we read "PMJI" + "____" & "PMJI" + "___C".

And since we interpret read array of ASCII letters as a null-terminated string
on big-endian CPU we end up with 2 events of the same name "PMJI".

ARC: export "abort" for modules

2019-09-21T05:14:23+00:00

This is a custom patch (no mainline equivalent) for stable backport only
to address 0-Day kernel test infra ARC 4.x.y builds errors.

The reason for this custom patch as that it is a single patch, touches
only ARC, vs. atleast two 7c2c11b208be09c1, dc8635b78cd8669 which touch
atleast 3 other arches (one long removed) and could potentially have a
fallout.

ARC: handle gcc generated __builtin_trap for older compiler

2019-07-10T07:55:44+00:00

commit af1be2e21203867cb958aaceed5366e2e24b88e8 upstream.

ARC gcc prior to GNU 2018.03 release didn't have a target specific
__builtin_trap() implementation, generating default abort() call.

Implement the abort() call - emulating what newer gcc does for the same,
as suggested by Arnd.

bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()

2019-07-10T07:55:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 173a3efd3edb2ef6ef07471397c5f542a360e9c1 ]

Looking at functions with large stack frames across all architectures
led me discovering that BUG() suffers from the same problem as
fortify_panic(), which I've added a workaround for already.

In short, variables that go out of scope by calling a noreturn function
or __builtin_unreachable() keep using stack space in functions
afterwards.

A workaround that was identified is to insert an empty assembler
statement just before calling the function that doesn't return.  I'm
adding a macro "barrier_before_unreachable()" to document this, and
insert calls to that in all instances of BUG() that currently suffer
from this problem.

The files that saw the largest change from this had these frame sizes
before, and much less with my patch:

  fs/ext4/inode.c:82:1: warning: the frame size of 1672 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/namei.c:434:1: warning: the frame size of 904 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/super.c:2279:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

  drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:1500:1: warning: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

In case of ARC and CRIS, it turns out that the BUG() implementation
actually does return (or at least the compiler thinks it does),
resulting in lots of warnings about uninitialized variable use and
leaving noreturn functions, such as:

  block/cfq-iosched.c: In function 'cfq_async_queue_prio':
  block/cfq-iosched.c:3804:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
  include/linux/dmaengine.h: In function 'dma_maxpq':
  include/linux/dmaengine.h:1123:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

This makes them call __builtin_trap() instead, which should normally
dump the stack and kill the current process, like some of the other
architectures already do.

I tried adding barrier_before_unreachable() to panic() and
fortify_panic() as well, but that had very little effect, so I'm not
submitting that patch.

ARC: u-boot args: check that magic number is correct

2019-04-20T07:07:45+00:00

[ Upstream commit edb64bca50cd736c6894cc6081d5263c007ce005 ]

In case of devboards we really often disable bootloader and load
Linux image in memory via JTAG. Even if kernel tries to verify
uboot_tag and uboot_arg there is sill a chance that we treat some
garbage in registers as valid u-boot arguments in JTAG case.
E.g. it is enough to have '1' in r0 to treat any value in r2 as
a boot command line.

So check that magic number passed from u-boot is correct and drop
u-boot arguments otherwise. That helps to reduce the possibility
of using garbage as u-boot arguments in JTAG case.

We can safely check U-boot magic value (0x0) in linux passed via
r1 register as U-boot pass it from the beginning. So there is no
backward-compatibility issues.

ARCv2: lib: memcpy: fix doing prefetchw outside of buffer

2019-03-23T12:19:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit f8a15f97664178f27dfbf86a38f780a532cb6df0 ]

ARCv2 optimized memcpy uses PREFETCHW instruction for prefetching the
next cache line but doesn't ensure that the line is not past the end of
the buffer. PRETECHW changes the line ownership and marks it dirty,
which can cause data corruption if this area is used for DMA IO.

Fix the issue by avoiding the PREFETCHW. This leads to performance
degradation but it is OK as we'll introduce new memcpy implementation
optimized for unaligned memory access using.

We also cut off all PREFETCH instructions at they are quite useless
here:
 * we call PREFETCH right before LOAD instruction call.
 * we copy 16 or 32 bytes of data (depending on CONFIG_ARC_HAS_LL64)
   in a main logical loop. so we call PREFETCH 4 times (or 2 times)
   for each L1 cache line (in case of 64B L1 cache Line which is
   default case). Obviously this is not optimal.
