<title>ARC: dma [IOC] Enable per device io coherency</title>

<id>2820a708d5a321342bef34e459fdc8679c30e20f</id>
<content type='text'>
So far the IOC treatment was global on ARC, being turned on (or off)
for all devices in the system. With this patch, this can now be done
per device using the "dma-coherent" DT property; IOW with this patch
we can use both HW-coherent and regular DMA peripherals simultaneously.

The changes involved are too many so enlisting the summary below:

1. common code calls ARC arch_setup_dma_ops() per device.

2. For coherent dma (IOC) it plugs in generic @dma_direct_ops which
   doesn't need any arch specific backend: No need for any explicit
   cache flushes or MMU mappings to provide for uncached access

   - dma_(map|sync)_single* return early as corresponding dma ops callbacks
     are NULL in generic code.
     So arch_sync_dma_*() -&gt; dma_cache_*() need not handle the coherent
     dma case, hence drop ARC __dma_cache_*_ioc() which were no-op anyways

3. For noncoherent dma (non IOC) generic @dma_noncoherent_ops is used
   which in turns calls ARC specific routines

   - arch_dma_alloc() no longer checks for @ioc_enable since this is
     called only for !IOC case.

This commit however only unmasked the real issue introduced by commit

<title>ARC: dma [non-IOC] setup SMP_CACHE_BYTES and cache_line_size</title>
<updated>2018-07-27T20:12:45+00:00</updated>

<id>eb2777397fd83a4a7eaa26984d09d3babb845d2a</id>
<content type='text'>
As for today we don't setup SMP_CACHE_BYTES and cache_line_size for
ARC, so they are set to L1_CACHE_BYTES by default. L1 line length
(L1_CACHE_BYTES) might be easily smaller than L2 line (which is
usually the case BTW). This breaks code.

For example this breaks ethernet infrastructure on HSDK/AXS103 boards
with IOC disabled, involving manual cache flushes
Functions which alloc and manage sk_buff packet data area rely on
SMP_CACHE_BYTES define. In the result we can share last L2 cache
line in sk_buff linear packet data area between DMA buffer and
some useful data in other structure. So we can lose this data when
we invalidate DMA buffer.

   sk_buff linear packet data area
                |
                |
                |         skb-&gt;end        skb-&gt;tail
                V            |                |
                             V                V
----------------------------------------------.
      packet data            | &lt;tail padding&gt; |  &lt;useful data in other struct&gt;
----------------------------------------------.

---------------------.--------------------------------------------------.
     SLC line        |             SLC (L2 cache) line (128B)           |
---------------------.--------------------------------------------------.
        ^                                     ^
        |                                     |
     These cache lines will be invalidated when we invalidate skb
     linear packet data area before DMA transaction starting.

This leads to issues painful to debug as it reproduces only if
(sk_buff-&gt;end - sk_buff-&gt;tail) &lt; SLC_LINE_SIZE and
if we have some useful data right after sk_buff-&gt;end.

Fix that by hardcode SMP_CACHE_BYTES to max line length we may have.

     These cache lines will be invalidated when we invalidate skb
     linear packet data area before DMA transaction starting.

This leads to issues painful to debug as it reproduces only if
(sk_buff-&gt;end - sk_buff-&gt;tail) &lt; SLC_LINE_SIZE and
if we have some useful data right after sk_buff-&gt;end.

Fix that by hardcode SMP_CACHE_BYTES to max line length we may have.

mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was
missing MAYEXEC.

This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase

What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't
catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case.

gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work
fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by
compiler and handled in kernel elf loader.

This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and
a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack
proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.

swap was broken on ARC due to silly copy-paste issue.

We encode offset from swapcache page in __swp_entry() as (off &lt;&lt; 13) but
were not decoding back in __swp_offset() as (off &gt;&gt; 13) - it was still
(off &lt;&lt; 13).

This finally fixes swap usage on ARC.
