ARM: 8788/1: ftrace: remove old mcount support

2018-09-19T09:44:50+00:00

Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6") raised the minimum GCC version to 4.6. Old mcount is only required for GCC versions older than 4.4.0. Hence old mcount support can be dropped too. Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: 8745/1: get rid of __memzero()

2018-01-21T15:37:56+00:00

The __memzero assembly code is almost identical to memset's except for two orr instructions. The runtime performance of __memset(p, n) and memset(p, 0, n) is accordingly almost identical. However, the memset() macro used to guard against a zero length and to call __memzero at compile time when the fill value is a constant zero interferes with compiler optimizations. Arnd found tha the test against a zero length brings up some new warnings with gcc v8: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82103 And successively rremoving the test against a zero length and the call to __memzero optimization produces the following kernel sizes for defconfig with gcc 6: text data bss dec hex filename 12248142 6278960 413588 18940690 1210312 vmlinux.orig 12244474 6278960 413588 18937022 120f4be vmlinux.no_zero_test 12239160 6278960 413588 18931708 120dffc vmlinux.no_memzero So it is probably not worth keeping __memzero around given that the compiler can do a better job at inlining trivial memset(p,0,n) on its own. And the memset code already handles a zero length just fine. Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Russell King

arm: kernel: Add SMC structure parameter

2017-02-03T18:46:33+00:00

This patch adds a quirk parameter to the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) calls. The quirk structure allows for specialized SMC operations due to SoC specific requirements. The current arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) is renamed and macros are used instead to specify the standard arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) or the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc)_quirk function. This patch and partial implementation was suggested by Will Deacon. Signed-off-by: Andy Gross Reviewed-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

Revert "arm: move exports to definitions"

2016-11-23T10:00:03+00:00

This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121. Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions. While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above change: - We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms become more fragile: * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in the selected configuration makes use of the symbol. * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten, with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch the file. - We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes, they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their exports. As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction: (original commit) 47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-) (fix for ksyms trimming) 7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (two fixes for modversions) 1 file changed, 34 insertions(+) 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted. As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach, revert the change. Signed-off-by: Russell King

Provide uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() to permit control of userspace visibility to the kernel, and hook these into the appropriate places in the kernel where we need to access userspace. Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: avoid unwanted GCC memset()/memcpy() optimisations for IO variants

2015-07-03T19:46:15+00:00

We don't want GCC optimising our memset_io(), memcpy_fromio() or memcpy_toio() variants, so we must not call one of the standard functions. Provide a separate name for our assembly memcpy() and memset() functions, and use that instead, thereby bypassing GCC's ability to optimise these operations. GCCs optimisation may introduce unaligned accesses which are invalid for device mappings. Signed-off-by: Russell King
