work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs

2024-02-09T23:57:48+00:00

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

riscv: remove unneeded #include

2024-01-22T00:36:29+00:00

Commit 62694797f56b ("use linux/export.h rather than
asm-generic/export.h") replaced deprecated 
inclusions.

Commit c2a658d41924 ("riscv: lib: vectorize copy_to_user/copy_from_user")
introduced a new instance of #include .

arch/riscv/lib/uaccess_vector.S does not use EXPORT_SYMBOL, hence this
include directive is unneeded.

Merge patch series "riscv: Add fine-tuned checksum functions"

2024-01-18T02:07:11+00:00

Charlie Jenkins  says:

Each architecture generally implements fine-tuned checksum functions to
leverage the instruction set. This patch adds the main checksum
functions that are used in networking. Tested on QEMU, this series
allows the CHECKSUM_KUNIT tests to complete an average of 50.9% faster.

This patch takes heavy use of the Zbb extension using alternatives
patching.

To test this patch, enable the configs for KUNIT, then CHECKSUM_KUNIT.

I have attempted to make these functions as optimal as possible, but I
have not ran anything on actual riscv hardware. My performance testing
has been limited to inspecting the assembly, running the algorithms on
x86 hardware, and running in QEMU.

ip_fast_csum is a relatively small function so even though it is
possible to read 64 bits at a time on compatible hardware, the
bottleneck becomes the clean up and setup code so loading 32 bits at a
time is actually faster.

  kunit: Add tests for csum_ipv6_magic and ip_fast_csum

Provide a 32 and 64 bit version of do_csum. When compiled for 32-bit
will load from the buffer in groups of 32 bits, and when compiled for
64-bit will load in groups of 64 bits.

Additionally provide riscv optimized implementation of csum_ipv6_magic.

Merge patch series "riscv: support kernel-mode Vector"

2024-01-16T15:14:04+00:00

Andy Chiu  says:

This series provides support running Vector in kernel mode.
Additionally, kernel-mode Vector can be configured to run without
turnning off preemption on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel. Along with the
suport, we add Vector optimized copy_{to,from}_user. And provide a
simple threshold to decide when to run the vectorized functions.

We decided to drop vectorized memcpy/memset/memmove for the moment due
to the concern of memory side-effect in kernel_vector_begin(). The
detailed description can be found at v9[0]

This series is composed by 4 parts:
 patch 1-4: adds basic support for kernel-mode Vector
 patch 5: includes vectorized copy_{to,from}_user into the kernel
 patch 6: refactor context switch code in fpu [1]
 patch 7-10: provides some code refactors and support for preemptible
             kernel-mode Vector.

This series can be merged if we feel any part of {1~4, 5, 6, 7~10} is
mature enough.

This patch is tested on a QEMU with V and verified that booting, normal
userspace operations all work as usual with thresholds set to 0. Also,
we test by launching multiple kernel threads which continuously executes
and verifies Vector operations in the background. The module that tests
these operation is expected to be upstream later.

  riscv: vector: allow kernel-mode Vector with preemption
  riscv: vector: use kmem_cache to manage vector context

riscv: lib: vectorize copy_to_user/copy_from_user

2024-01-16T15:13:57+00:00

This patch utilizes Vector to perform copy_to_user/copy_from_user. If
Vector is available and the size of copy is large enough for Vector to
perform better than scalar, then direct the kernel to do Vector copies
for userspace. Though the best programming practice for users is to
reduce the copy, this provides a faster variant when copies are
inevitable.

The optimal size for using Vector, copy_to_user_thres, is only a
heuristic for now. We can add DT parsing if people feel the need of
customizing it.

The exception fixup code of the __asm_vector_usercopy must fallback to
the scalar one because accessing user pages might fault, and must be
sleepable. Current kernel-mode Vector does not allow tasks to be
preemptible, so we must disactivate Vector and perform a scalar fallback
in such case.

The original implementation of Vector operations comes from
https://github.com/sifive/sifive-libc, which we agree to contribute to
Linux kernel.
