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

2025-03-22T19:54:15+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: align stack for page fault and user unaligned trap handlers

commit 3b35a171060f846b08b48646b38c30b5d57d17ff upstream. do_page_fault() and do_entUna() are special because they use non-standard stack frame layout. Fix them manually.

alpha: make stack 16-byte aligned (most cases)

2025-02-21T13:01:33+00:00

commit 0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9 upstream. The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]: Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which is not a whole multiple of 16. Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same: D.3.1 Stack Alignment This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a new procedure is invoked. However: - the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack; - syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned stack depending on numerous factors. Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever things allocating it on the stack. This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words. This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel code, except two handlers which need special threatment. Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed, but let's put this off until later.
