sparc32: Fixed unaligned memory copying in function __csum_partial_copy_sparc_generic

2011-05-12T04:35:04+00:00

When we are in the label cc_dword_align, registers %o0 and %o1 have the same last 2 bits, but it's not guaranteed one of them is zero. So we can get unaligned memory access in label ccte. Example of parameters which lead to this: %o0=0x7ff183e9, %o1=0x8e709e7d, %g1=3 With the parameters I had a memory corruption, when the additional 5 bytes were rewritten. This patch corrects the error. One comment to the patch. We don't care about the third bit in %o1, because cc_end_cruft stores word or less. Signed-off-by: Tkhai Kirill Signed-off-by: David S.

sparc: use bitmap_set()

sparc: Replace deprecated spinlock initialization

SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCK is deprecated. Use the lockdep capable variant instead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: David S. Miller

sparc64: Make lock backoff really a NOP on UP builds.

2010-08-19T05:53:26+00:00

As noticed by Mikulas Patocka, the backoff macros don't completely nop out for UP builds, we still get a branch always and a delay slot nop. Fix this by making the branch to the backoff spin loop selective, then we can nop out the spin loop completely. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc64: simple microoptimizations for atomic functions

Simple microoptimizations for sparc64 atomic functions: Save one instruction by using a delay slot. Use %g1 instead of %g7, because %g1 is written earlier. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc64: Make rwsems 64-bit.

2010-08-18T05:49:26+00:00

Basically tip-off the powerpc code, use a 64-bit type and atomic64_t interfaces for the implementation. This gets us off of the by-hand asm code I wrote, which frankly I think probably ruins I-cache hit rates. The idea was the keep the call chains less deep, but anything taking the rw-semaphores probably is also calling other stuff and therefore already has allocated a stack-frame. So no real stack frame savings ever. Ben H. has posted patches to make powerpc use 64-bit too and with some abstractions we can probably use a shared header file somewhere. With suggestions from Sam Ravnborg. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc64: Allocate sufficient stack space in ftrace stubs.

2010-04-14T01:59:02+00:00

128 bytes is sufficient for the register window save area, but the calling conventions allow the callee to save up to 6 incoming argument registers into the stack frame after the register window save area. This means a minimal stack frame is 176 bytes (128 + (6 * 8)). This fixes random crashes when using the function tracer. Reported-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sparc64: Give a stack frame to the ftrace call sites.

2010-04-13T05:37:15+00:00

It's the only way we'll be able to implement the function graph tracer properly. A positive is that we no longer have to worry about the linker over-optimizing the tail call, since we don't use a tail call any more. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
