arc: Fix fls() const-foldability via builtin_clzl()

2025-12-06T21:12:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit a3fecb9160482367365cc384c59dd220b162b066 ] While tracking down a problem where constant expressions used by BUILD_BUG_ON() suddenly stopped working[1], we found that an added static initializer was convincing the compiler that it couldn't track the state of the prior statically initialized value. Tracing this down found that ffs() was used in the initializer macro, but since it wasn't marked with __attribute__const__, the compiler had to assume the function might change variable states as a side-effect (which is not true for ffs(), which provides deterministic math results). For arc architecture with CONFIG_ISA_ARCV2=y, the __fls() function uses __builtin_arc_fls() which lacks GCC's const attribute, preventing compile-time constant folding, and KUnit testing of ffs/fls fails on arc[3]. A patch[2] to GCC to solve this has been sent. Add a fix for this by handling compile-time constants with the standard __builtin_clzl() builtin (which has const attribute) while preserving the optimized arc-specific builtin for runtime cases. This has the added benefit of skipping runtime calculation of compile-time constant values. Even with the GCC bug fixed (which is about "attribute const") this is a good change to avoid needless runtime costs, and should be done regardless of the state of GCC's bug. Build tested ARCH=arc allyesconfig with GCC arc-linux 15.2.0.

mm: remove kern_addr_valid() completely

2024-11-08T15:26:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit e025ab842ec35225b1a8e163d1f311beb9e38ce9 ] Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a valid kernel address. So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's remove it.

work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs

2024-02-23T08:12:28+00:00

commit 68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be upstream. We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a 'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits 3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for asm_volatile_goto() unconditional"). Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit 43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR 58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around. Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround. But the problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs' cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case. It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in this area: (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it has outputs: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420 which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand. (b) Internal compiler errors: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422 which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a barrier, as in the original workaround. but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'. The same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

ARC: atomics: Add compiler barrier to atomic operations...

2023-09-19T10:28:04+00:00

commit 42f51fb24fd39cc547c086ab3d8a314cc603a91c upstream. ... to avoid unwanted gcc optimizations SMP kernels fail to boot with commit 596ff4a09b89 ("cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations"). | | percpu: BUG: failure at mm/percpu.c:2981/pcpu_build_alloc_info()! | The write operation performed by the SCOND instruction in the atomic inline asm code is not properly passed to the compiler. The compiler cannot correctly optimize a nested loop that runs through the cpumask in the pcpu_build_alloc_info() function. Fix this by add a compiler barrier (memory clobber in inline asm). Apparently atomic ops used to have memory clobber implicitly via surrounding smp_mb(). However commit b64be6836993c431e ("ARC: atomics: implement relaxed variants") removed the smp_mb() for the relaxed variants, but failed to add the explicit compiler barrier.

ARC: define ASM_NL and __ALIGN(_STR) outside #ifdef ASSEMBLY guard

2023-07-19T14:21:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 92e2921eeafdfca9acd9b83f07d2b7ca099bac24 ] ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using inline assembler in C code. On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__, so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in include/linux/linkage.h. If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator, but the start of a comment for ARC. Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef. Fixes: 9df62f054406 ("arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro") Fixes: 8d92e992a785 ("ARC: define __ALIGN_STR and __ALIGN symbols for ARC") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

ARC: mm: fix leakage of memory allocated for PTE

2022-10-17T23:32:12+00:00

Since commit d9820ff ("ARC: mm: switch pgtable_t back to struct page *") a memory leakage problem occurs. Memory allocated for page table entries not released during process termination. This issue can be reproduced by a small program that allocates a large amount of memory. After several runs, you'll see that the amount of free memory has reduced and will continue to reduce after each run. All ARC CPUs are effected by this issue. The issue was introduced since the kernel stable release v5.15-rc1. As described in commit d9820ff after switch pgtable_t back to struct page *, a pointer to "struct page" and appropriate functions are used to allocate and free a memory page for PTEs, but the pmd_pgtable macro hasn't changed and returns the direct virtual address from the PMD (PGD) entry. Than this address used as a parameter in the __pte_free() and as a result this function couldn't release memory page allocated for PTEs. Fix this issue by changing the pmd_pgtable macro and returning pointer to struct page.
