<id>5d588c684833e678a0008eb69c33190f01a65f4b</id>
<content type='text'>
The ZBB-optimized strnlen loop loads one word ahead before checking the
aligned boundary:

    REG_L   t1, SZREG(t0)       // load next word
    addi    t0, t0, SZREG       // advance
    orc.b   t1, t1
    bgeu    t0, t4, 4f          // boundary check AFTER load

where t4 = (s + count) &amp; -SZREG.  When s is aligned and count is a
multiple of SZREG, t4 equals s + count and the loop loads a full word
starting at exactly s + count.  If s + count falls on a page boundary
with the next page unmapped, this faults.

Fix by computing the aligned boundary from the last valid byte
(s + count - 1) instead of s + count.  This makes the loop stop at the
word containing the last valid byte rather than potentially loading the
word after it.  The count == 0 case is already handled by the beqz
early exit.

Also add a pre-loop guard (bgeu t0, t4) for the case where all valid
bytes fit within the first word.  With the adjusted boundary, t4 can
equal t0, and entering the loop with stale register state from the
first-word processing would produce incorrect results.

The final minu clamp ensures the result is still correct when the last
loaded word extends past s + count - 1 within the same aligned word.

Pull RISC-V updates from Paul Walmsley:
 "There is one significant change outside arch/riscv in this pull
  request: the addition of a set of KUnit tests for strlen(), strnlen(),
  and strrchr().

  Otherwise, the most notable changes are to add some RISC-V-specific
  string function implementations, to remove XIP kernel support, to add
  hardware error exception handling, and to optimize our runtime
  unaligned access speed testing.

  A few comments on the motivation for removing XIP support. It's been
  broken in the RISC-V kernel for months. The code is not easy to
  maintain. Furthermore, for XIP support to truly be useful for RISC-V,
  we think that compile-time feature switches would need to be added for
  many of the RISC-V ISA features and microarchitectural properties that
  are currently implemented with runtime patching. No one has stepped
  forward to take responsibility for that work, so many of us think it's
  best to remove it until clear use cases and champions emerge.

  Summary:

   - Add Kunit correctness testing and microbenchmarks for strlen(),
     strnlen(), and strrchr()

   - Add RISC-V-specific strnlen(), strchr(), strrchr() implementations

   - Add hardware error exception handling

   - Clean up and optimize our unaligned access probe code

   - Enable HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT to be able to use generic_access_phys()

   - Remove XIP kernel support

   - Warn when addresses outside the vmemmap range are passed to
     vmemmap_populate()

   - Update the ACPI FADT revision check to warn if it's not at least
     ACPI v6.6, which is when key RISC-V-specific tables were added to
     the specification

   - Increase COMMAND_LINE_SIZE to 2048 to match ARM64, x86, PowerPC,
     etc.

   - Make kaslr_offset() a static inline function, since there's no need
     for it to show up in the symbol table

   - Add KASLR offset and SATP to the VMCOREINFO ELF notes to improve
     kdump support

   - Add Makefile cleanup rule for vdso_cfi copied source files, and add
     a .gitignore for the build artifacts in that directory

   - Remove some redundant ifdefs that check Kconfig macros

   - Add missing SPDX license tag to the CFI selftest

   - Simplify UTS_MACHINE assignment in the RISC-V Makefile

   - Clarify some unclear comments and remove some superfluous comments

   - Fix various English typos across the RISC-V codebase"

Add an assembly implementation of strrchr() for RISC-V.

This implementation minimizes instruction count and avoids unnecessary
memory access to the stack. The performance benefits are most visible
on small workloads (1-16 bytes) where the architectural savings in
function overhead outweigh the execution time of the scan loop.

Add an assembly implementation of strchr() for RISC-V.

By eliminating stack frame management (prologue/epilogue) and optimizing
the function entries, the assembly version provides significant relative
gains for short strings where the fixed overhead of the C function is
most prominent. As string length increases, performance converges with
the generic C implementation.

Add an optimized strnlen() implementation for RISC-V. This version
includes a generic optimization and a Zbb-powered optimization using
the 'orc.b' instruction, derived from the strlen() implementation.

Benchmark results (QEMU TCG, rv64):
  Length | Original (MB/s) | Optimized (MB/s) | Improvement
  -------|-----------------|------------------|------------
  16 B   | 179             | 309              | +72.6%
  512 B  | 347             | 1562             | +350.1%
  4096 B | 356             | 1878             | +427.5%

Move the optimized XOR into lib/raid and include it it in xor.ko instead
of always building it into the main kernel image.

<title>riscv: lib: optimize strlen loop efficiency</title>

<content type='text'>
Optimize the generic strlen implementation by using a pre-decrement
pointer. This reduces the loop body from 4 instructions to 3 and
eliminates the unconditional jump ('j').

Old loop (4 instructions, 2 branches):
  1: lbu t0, 0(t1); beqz t0, 2f; addi t1, t1, 1; j 1b

New loop (3 instructions, 1 branch):
  1: addi t1, t1, 1; lbu t0, 0(t1); bnez t0, 1b

This change improves execution efficiency and reduces branch pressure
for systems without the Zbb extension.

<content type='text'>
Use riscv_has_extension_likely() to check for RISCV_ISA_EXT_ZBB,
replacing the use of asm goto with ALTERNATIVE.

The "likely" variant is used to match the behavior of the original
implementation using ALTERNATIVE("j %l[no_zbb]", "nop", ...).

While we're at it, also remove bogus comment about Zbb being likely
available. We have to choose between "likely" and "unlikely" due to
limitations of the asm goto feature, but that does not mean we should
put a bad comment on why we pick "likely" over "unlikely".
