[SPARC]: fix sparc64 gcc 4.2 compile failure

2007-10-06T19:15:08+00:00

Compiling 2.6.21-rc5 with gcc-4.2.0 20070317 (prerelease)
for sparc64 fails as follows:

  gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/sparc64/kernel/.time.o.d  -nostdinc -isystem /home/mikpe/pkgs/linux-sparc64/gcc-4.2.0/lib/gcc/sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.2.0/include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude  -include include/linux/autoconf.h -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -Os -m64 -pipe -mno-fpu -mcpu=ultrasparc -mcmodel=medlow -ffixed-g4 -ffixed-g5 -fcall-used-g7 -Wno-sign-compare -Wa,--undeclared-regs -fomit-frame-pointer  -fno-stack-protector -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wno-pointer-sign -Werror   -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s" -D"KBUILD_BASENAME=KBUILD_STR(time)"  -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(time)" -c -o arch/sparc64/kernel/time.o arch/sparc64/kernel/time.c

make[1]: *** [arch/sparc64/kernel/time.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/sparc64/kernel] Error 2

gcc gets unhappy when the MSTK_SET macro's u8 __val variable
is updated with &= ~0xff (MSTK_YEAR_MASK). Making the constant
unsigned fixes the problem.

[MATH-EMU]: Fix underflow exception reporting.

2007-08-30T04:14:37+00:00

The underflow exception cases were wrong.

This is one weird area of ieee1754 handling in that the underflow
behavior changes based upon whether underflow is enabled in the trap
enable mask of the FPU control register.  As a specific case the Sparc
V9 manual gives us the following description:

--------------------
If UFM = 0:     Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny and a
                loss of accuracy occurs.  Tininess may be detected
                before or after rounding.  Loss of accuracy may be
                either a denormalization loss or an inexact result.

If UFM = 1:     Underflow occurs if a nonzero result is tiny.
                Tininess may be detected before or after rounding.
--------------------

What this amounts to in the packing case is if we go subnormal,
we set underflow if any of the following are true:

1) rounding sets inexact
2) we ended up rounding back up to normal (this is the case where
   we set the exponent to 1 and set the fraction to zero), this
   should set inexact too
3) underflow is set in FPU control register trap-enable mask

The initially discovered example was "DBL_MIN / 16.0" which
incorrectly generated an underflow.  It should not, unless underflow
is set in the trap-enable mask of the FPU csr.

Another example, "0x0.0000000000001p-1022 / 16.0", should signal both
inexact and underflow.  The cpu implementations and ieee1754
literature is very clear about this.  This is case #2 above.

However, if underflow is set in the trap enable mask, only underflow
should be set and reported as a trap.  That is handled properly by the
prioritization logic in

arch/sparc{,64}/math-emu/math.c:record_exception().

Based upon a report and test case from Jakub Jelinek.

SPARC32: Fix over-optimization by GCC near ip_fast_csum.

2007-02-14T08:22:53+00:00

In some cases such as:
        iph->check = 0;
        iph->check = ip_fast_csum((unsigned char *)iph, iph->ihl);
GCC may optimize out the previous store.

Observed as a failure of NFS over udp (bad checksums on ip fragments)
when compiled with GCC 3.4.2.

ia64/sparc: fix local DoS with corrupted ELFs (CVE-2006-4538)

This patch prevents cross-region mappings
on IA64 and SPARC which could lead to system crash.

[PATCH] add asm-generic/mman.h

2006-02-15T23:32:22+00:00

Make new MADV_REMOVE, MADV_DONTFORK, MADV_DOFORK consistent across all
arches.  The idea is to make it possible to use them portably even before
distros include them in libc headers.

Move common flags to asm-generic/mman.h

[PATCH] madvise MADV_DONTFORK/MADV_DOFORK

2006-02-15T00:09:34+00:00

Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages).  This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page.  As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW.  In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.

In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.

This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork.  Useful e.g.  for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages.  Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

[SPARC]: Add support for *at(), ppoll, and pselect syscalls.

2006-01-19T10:42:49+00:00

This also includes by necessity _TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support,
which actually resulted in a lot of cleanups.

The sparc signal handling code is quite a mess and I should
clean it up some day.
