ARCv2: don't assume core 0x54 has dual issue

2019-02-21T22:53:36+00:00

The first release of core4 (0x54) was dual issue only (HS4x). Newer releases allow hardware to be configured as single issue (HS3x) or dual issue. Prevent accessing a HS4x only aux register in HS3x, which otherwise leads to illegal instruction exceptions Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: define ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN = 8

2019-02-21T19:03:20+00:00

The default value of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN in "include/linux/slab.h" is "__alignof__(unsigned long long)" which for ARC unexpectedly turns out to be 4. This is not a compiler bug, but as defined by ARC ABI [1] Thus slab allocator would allocate a struct which is 32-bit aligned, which is generally OK even if struct has long long members. There was however potetial problem when it had any atomic64_t which use LLOCKD/SCONDD instructions which are required by ISA to take 64-bit addresses. This is the problem we ran into [ 4.015732] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): re-mounted.

Do note that atomic64_t is __attribute__((aligned(8)) which means gcc does generate 64-bit aligned references, relative to beginning of container struct. However the issue is if the container itself is not 64-bit aligned, atomic64_t ends up unaligned which is what this patch ensures.

ARC: enable uboot support unconditionally

2019-02-21T19:03:19+00:00

After reworking U-boot args handling code and adding paranoid arguments check we can eliminate CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT and enable uboot support unconditionally. For JTAG case we can assume that core registers will come up reset value of 0 or in worst case we rely on user passing '-on=clear_regs' to Metaware debugger.

ARC: U-boot: check arguments paranoidly

2019-02-21T19:03:18+00:00

Handle U-boot arguments paranoidly: * don't allow to pass unknown tag. * try to use external device tree blob only if corresponding tag (TAG_DTB) is set. * don't check uboot_tag if kernel build with no ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT. NOTE: If U-boot args are invalid we skip them and try to use embedded device tree blob. We can't panic on invalid U-boot args as we really pass invalid args due to bug in U-boot code. This happens if we don't provide external DTB to U-boot and don't set 'bootargs' U-boot environment variable (which is default case at least for HSDK board) In that case we will pass {r0 = 1 (bootargs in r2); r1 = 0; r2 = 0;} to linux which is invalid. While I'm at it refactor U-boot arguments handling code. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Tested-by: Corentin LABBE Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARCv2: support manual regfile save on interrupts

2019-02-21T19:03:18+00:00

There's a hardware bug which affects the HSDK platform, triggered by micro-ops for auto-saving regfile on taken interrupt. The workaround is to inhibit autosave. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARC: uacces: remove lp_start, lp_end from clobber list

ARCv2: lib: memcpy: fix doing prefetchw outside of buffer

2019-02-21T19:03:16+00:00

ARCv2 optimized memcpy uses PREFETCHW instruction for prefetching the next cache line but doesn't ensure that the line is not past the end of the buffer. PRETECHW changes the line ownership and marks it dirty, which can cause data corruption if this area is used for DMA IO. Fix the issue by avoiding the PREFETCHW. This leads to performance degradation but it is OK as we'll introduce new memcpy implementation optimized for unaligned memory access using. We also cut off all PREFETCH instructions at they are quite useless here: * we call PREFETCH right before LOAD instruction call. * we copy 16 or 32 bytes of data (depending on CONFIG_ARC_HAS_LL64) in a main logical loop. so we call PREFETCH 4 times (or 2 times) for each L1 cache line (in case of 64B L1 cache Line which is default case). Obviously this is not optimal. Signed-off-by: Eugeniy Paltsev Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta

ARCv2: Enable unaligned access in early ASM code

ARCv2: lib: memeset: fix doing prefetchw outside of buffer

2019-01-18T00:24:39+00:00

ARCv2 optimized memset uses PREFETCHW instruction for prefetching the next cache line but doesn't ensure that the line is not past the end of the buffer. PRETECHW changes the line ownership and marks it dirty, which can cause issues in SMP config when next line was already owned by other core. Fix the issue by avoiding the PREFETCHW Some more details: The current code has 3 logical loops (ignroing the unaligned part) (a) Big loop for doing aligned 64 bytes per iteration with PREALLOC (b) Loop for 32 x 2 bytes with PREFETCHW (c) any left over bytes loop (a) was already eliding the last 64 bytes, so PREALLOC was safe. The fix was removing PREFETCW from (b). Another potential issue (applicable to configs with 32 or 128 byte L1 cache line) is that PREALLOC assumes 64 byte cache line and may not do the right thing specially for 32b. While it would be easy to adapt, there are no known configs with those lie sizes, so for now, just compile out PREALLOC in such cases.
