ARM: 8833/1: Ensure that NEON code always compiles with Clang

2019-04-27T07:30:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit de9c0d49d85dc563549972edc5589d195cd5e859 ] While building arm32 allyesconfig, I ran into the following errors: arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:17:2: error: You should compile this file with '-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon' In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27: /home/nathan/cbl/prebuilt/lib/clang/8.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2: error: "NEON support not enabled" Building V=1 showed NEON_FLAGS getting passed along to Clang but __ARM_NEON__ was not getting defined. Ultimately, it boils down to Clang only defining __ARM_NEON__ when targeting armv7, rather than armv6k, which is the '-march' value for allyesconfig. >From lib/Basic/Targets/ARM.cpp in the Clang source: // This only gets set when Neon instructions are actually available, unlike // the VFP define, hence the soft float and arch check. This is subtly // different from gcc, we follow the intent which was that it should be set // when Neon instructions are actually available. if ((FPU & NeonFPU) && !SoftFloat && ArchVersion >= 7) { Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON", "1"); Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON__"); // current AArch32 NEON implementations do not support double-precision // floating-point even when it is present in VFP. Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON_FP", "0x" + Twine::utohexstr(HW_FP & ~HW_FP_DP)); } Ard Biesheuvel recommended explicitly adding '-march=armv7-a' at the beginning of the NEON_FLAGS definitions so that __ARM_NEON__ always gets definined by Clang. This doesn't functionally change anything because that code will only run where NEON is supported, which is implicitly armv7.

ARM: 8772/1: kprobes: Prohibit kprobes on get_user functions

2018-05-25T08:54:57+00:00

commit 0d73c3f8e7f6ee2aab1bb350f60c180f5ae21a2c upstream. Since do_undefinstr() uses get_user to get the undefined instruction, it can be called before kprobes processes recursive check. This can cause an infinit recursive exception. Prohibit probing on get_user functions.

ARM: 8137/1: fix get_user BE behavior for target variable with size of 8 bytes

2014-09-12T16:38:59+00:00

e38361d 'ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types' commit broke V7 BE get_user call when target var size is 64 bit, but '*ptr' size is 32 bit or smaller. e38361d changed type of __r2 from 'register unsigned long' to 'register typeof(x) __r2 asm("r2")' i.e before the change even when target variable size was 64 bit, __r2 was still 32 bit. But after e38361d commit, for target var of 64 bit size, __r2 became 64 bit and now it should occupy 2 registers r2, and r3. The issue in BE case that r3 register is least significant word of __r2 and r2 register is most significant word of __r2. But __get_user_4 still copies result into r2 (most significant word of __r2). Subsequent code copies from __r2 into x, but for situation described it will pick up only garbage from r3 register. Special __get_user_64t_(124) functions are introduced. They are similar to corresponding __get_user_(124) function but result stored in r3 register (lsw in case of 64 bit __r2 in BE image). Those function are used by get_user macro in case of BE and target var size is 64bit. Also changed __get_user_lo8 name into __get_user_32t_8 to get consistent naming accross all cases.

ARM: 8091/2: add get_user() support for 8 byte types

2014-07-18T11:29:34+00:00

Recent contributions, including to DRM and binder, introduce 64-bit values in their interfaces. A common motivation for this is to allow the same ABI for 32- and 64-bit userspaces (and therefore also a shared ABI for 32/64 hybrid userspaces). Anyhow, the developers would like to avoid gotchas like having to use copy_from_user(). This feature is already implemented on x86-32 and the majority of other 32-bit architectures. The current list of get_user_8 hold out architectures are: arm, avr32, blackfin, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, sh. Credit: My name sits rather uneasily at the top of this patch. The v1 and v2 versions of the patch were written by Rob Clark and to produce v4 I mostly copied code from Russell King and H. Peter Anvin. However I have mangled the patch sufficiently that *blame* is rightfully mine even if credit should more widely shared. Changelog: v5: updated to use the ret macro (requested by Russell King) v4: remove an inlined add on big endian systems (spotted by Russell King), used __ARMEB__ rather than BIG_ENDIAN (to match rest of file), cleared r3 on EFAULT during __get_user_8. v3: fix a couple of checkpatch issues v2: pass correct size to check_uaccess, and better handling of narrowing double word read with __get_user_xb() (Russell King's suggestion) v1: original Signed-off-by: Rob Clark Signed-off-by: Daniel Thompson Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+

2014-07-18T11:29:04+00:00

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

ARM: choose highest resolution delay timer

In case there are several possible delay timers, choose the one with the highest resolution.

ARM: 7990/1: asm: rename logical shift macros push pull into lspush lspull

Renames logical shift macros, 'push' and 'pull', defined in arch/arm/include/asm/assembler.h, into 'lspush' and 'lspull'.
