arm64: remove no-op -p linker flag

2018-12-01T08:46:36+00:00

(commit 1a381d4a0a9a0f999a13faaba22bf6b3fc80dcb9 upstream) Linking the ARM64 defconfig kernel with LLVM lld fails with the error: ld.lld: error: unknown argument: -p Makefile:1015: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed Without this flag, the ARM64 defconfig kernel successfully links with lld and boots on Dragonboard 410c. After digging through binutils source and changelogs, it turns out that -p is only relevant to ancient binutils installations targeting 32-bit ARM. binutils accepts -p for AArch64 too, but it's always been undocumented and silently ignored. A comment in ld/emultempl/aarch64elf.em explains that it's "Only here for backwards compatibility". Since this flag is a no-op on ARM64, we can safely drop it.

arm64: Disable asm-operand-width warning for clang

2018-11-27T15:07:59+00:00

clang raises 'asm-operand-widths' warnings in inline assembly code when the size of an operand is < 64 bits and the operand width is unspecified. Most warnings are raised in macros, i.e. the datatype of the operand may vary. Signed-off-by: Matthias Kaehlcke nc: I trimmed the original commit message since I'm not a part of CrOS and can't speak on their behalf. To fix these warnings, it requires a fairly intrusive backport of the sysreg conversion that Mark Rutland did in 4.9. I think disabling the warning is smarter, similar to commit d41d0fe374d4 ("turn off -Wattribute-alias") in this tree. Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

arm64: errata: Add -mpc-relative-literal-loads to build flags

2016-03-03T23:07:08+00:00

commit 67dfa1751ce71e629aad7c438e1678ad41054677 upstream. GCC6 (and Linaro's 2015.12 snapshot of GCC5) has a new default that uses adrp/ldr or adrp/add to address literal pools. When CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 is enabled, modules built with this toolchain fail to load: module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275 This patch fixes the problem by passing '-mpc-relative-literal-loads' to the compiler.

arm64: add KASAN support

2015-10-12T16:46:36+00:00

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer (see Documentation/kasan.txt). 1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were stolen from vmalloc area. At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently don't track (vmalloc). After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated and mapped. Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses. If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions are written in assembly. KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants. Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant if needed. Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c). Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants to disable memory access checks for such files.

arm64: errata: use KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE for erratum #843419

2015-10-12T16:40:12+00:00

Commit df057cc7b4fa ("arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419") sets CFLAGS_MODULE to ensure that the large memory model is used by the compiler when building kernel modules. However, CFLAGS_MODULE is an environment variable and intended to be overridden on the command line, which appears to be the case with the Ubuntu kernel packaging system, so use KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE instead.

arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419

2015-09-17T10:57:03+00:00

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences headed by an ADRP instruction. There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF objects. This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled, builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules. Cc: Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm64: atomics: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU

2015-07-27T14:28:50+00:00

On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1, it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences. This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that the CPU supports it. If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n. Reviewed-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm64: enable more compressed Image formats

2015-07-27T10:08:39+00:00

Plumb up Makefile arguments for the already supported formats in the kbuild system: lz4, bzip2, lzma, and lzo. Note that just as with Image.gz, these images are not self-decompressing and the booting firmware still needs to handle decompression before launching the kernel image.

arm64: Adjust EFI libstub object include logic

2015-03-17T16:59:47+00:00

Commit f4f75ad5 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library") introduced a static library for EFI stub, libstub. The EFI libstub directory is referenced by the kernel build system via a obj subdirectory rule in: drivers/firmware/efi/Makefile Unfortunately, arm64 also references the EFI libstub via: libs-$(CONFIG_EFI_STUB) += drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/ If we're unlucky, the kernel build system can enter libstub via two simultaneous threads resulting in build failures such as: fixdep: error opening depfile: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/.efi-stub-helper.o.d: No such file or directory scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub-helper.o' failed make[1]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub-helper.o] Error 2 Makefile:939: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub' failed make: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... This patch adjusts the arm64 Makefile to reference the compiled library explicitly (as is currently done in x86), rather than the directory.
