MIPS: Fix modversions

2017-01-24T17:30:35+00:00

kernelci.org reports tons of build warnings for linux-next: 35 WARNING: "memcpy" [fs/fat/msdos.ko] has no CRC! 35 WARNING: "__copy_user" [fs/fat/fat.ko] has no CRC! 32 WARNING: EXPORT symbol "memset" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. 32 WARNING: EXPORT symbol "copy_page" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. 32 WARNING: EXPORT symbol "clear_page" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. 32 WARNING: EXPORT symbol "__strncpy_from_user_nocheck_asm" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned. The problem here is mainly the missing asm/asm-prototypes.h header file that is supposed to include the prototypes for each symbol that is exported from an assembler file. A second problem is that the asm/uaccess.h header contains some but not all the necessary declarations for the user access helpers. Finally, the vdso build is broken once we add asm/asm-prototypes.h, so we have to fix this at the same time by changing the vdso header. My approach here is to just not look for exported symbols in the VDSO assembler files, as the symbols cannot be exported anyway.

MIPS: Export string functions alongside their definitions

2017-01-03T15:34:50+00:00

Now that EXPORT_SYMBOL can be used from assembly source, move the EXPORT_SYMBOL invocations for the strlen*, strnlen* & strncpy* functions to be alongside their definitions.

MIPS: strnlen_user.S: Fix a CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS regression

2015-05-29T18:23:58+00:00

Correct a regression introduced with 8453eebd [MIPS: Fix strnlen_user() return value in case of overlong strings.] causing assembler warnings and broken code generated in __strnlen_kernel_nocheck_asm: arch/mips/lib/strnlen_user.S: Assembler messages: arch/mips/lib/strnlen_user.S:64: Warning: Macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot with the CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS option set, resulting in the function looping indefinitely upon mounting NFS root. Use conditional assembly to avoid a microMIPS code size regression. Using $at unconditionally would cause such a regression as there are no 16-bit instruction encodings available for ALU operations using this register. Using $v1 unconditionally would produce short microMIPS encodings, but would prevent this register from being used across calls to this function. The extra LI operation introduced is free, replacing a NOP originally scheduled into the delay slot of the branch that follows. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: Fix strnlen_user() return value in case of overlong strings.

2014-11-04T11:46:33+00:00

We were returning maxlen like the userland strnlen if no '\0' character was encountered while the kernel version is expected to return a value larger than maxlen. Fixed to return maxlen + 1. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: lib: strnlen_user: Add EVA support

2014-03-26T22:09:13+00:00

In non-EVA mode, a strlen_user* alias is used for the strlen_kernel* symbols since the code is identical. In EVA mode, a new strlen_user* symbol is used which uses the EVA specific instructions to load values from userspace. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: lib: strnlen_user: Use macro to build the strnlen_user symbol

2014-03-26T22:09:13+00:00

Build the __strnlen_user symbol using a macro. In EVA mode we will need to use similar code to do the userspace load operations so it is better if we use a macro to avoid code duplications. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: microMIPS: Optimise 'strnlen' core library function.

2013-05-09T15:55:20+00:00

Optimise 'strnlen' to use microMIPS instructions and/or optimisations for binary size reduction. When the microMIPS ISA is not being used, the library function compiles to the original binary code. Signed-off-by: Steven J. Hill

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.
