alpha/elf: Fix misc/setarch test of util-linux by removing 32bit support

2025-04-10T12:30:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit b029628be267cba3c7684ec684749fe3e4372398 ] Richard Henderson writes[1]: > There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran > twice as fast with 32-bit pointers. > > I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work > to allow the toolchain to take advantage. > > Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a > 32-bit address space, specifically because of this. > > I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would > notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users. In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY implementation. In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never completed. Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support. As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set. Just in case someone somewhere has binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

alpha: define get_cycles macro for arch-override

2022-05-30T07:33:40+00:00

commit 1097710bc9660e1e588cf2186a35db3d95c4d258 upstream. Alpha defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual `#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing) when defining random_get_entropy().

alpha: Declare virt_to_phys and virt_to_bus parameter as pointer to volatile

[ Upstream commit 35a3f4ef0ab543daa1725b0c963eb8c05e3376f8 ] Some drivers pass a pointer to volatile data to virt_to_bus() and virt_to_phys(), and that works fine. One exception is alpha.

saner calling conventions for csum_and_copy_..._user()

2020-08-20T19:45:15+00:00

All callers of these primitives will * discard anything we might've copied in case of error * ignore the csum value in case of error * always pass 0xffffffff as the initial sum, so the resulting csum value (in case of success, that is) will never be 0. That suggest the following calling conventions: * don't pass err_ptr - just return 0 on error. * don't bother with zeroing destination, etc. in case of error * don't pass the initial sum - just use 0xffffffff. This commit does the minimal conversion in the instances of csum_and_copy_...(); the changes of actual asm code behind them are done later in the series. Note that this asm code is often shared with csum_partial_copy_nocheck(); the difference is that csum_partial_copy_nocheck() passes 0 for initial sum while csum_and_copy_..._user() pass 0xffffffff. Fortunately, we are free to pass 0xffffffff in all cases and subsequent patches will use that freedom without any special comments. A part that could be split off: parisc and uml/i386 claimed to have csum_and_copy_to_user() instances of their own, but those were identical to the generic one, so we simply drop them. Not sure if it's worth a separate commit... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

csum_partial_copy_nocheck(): drop the last argument

2020-08-20T19:45:14+00:00

It's always 0. Note that we theoretically could use ~0U as well - result will be the same modulo 0xffff, _if_ the damn thing did the right thing for any value of initial sum; later we'll make use of that when convenient. However, unlike csum_and_copy_..._user(), there are instances that did not work for arbitrary initial sums; c6x is one such. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
