powerpc: xor_vmx: Add '-mhard-float' to CFLAGS

2024-04-10T14:19:30+00:00

commit 35f20786c481d5ced9283ff42de5c69b65e5ed13 upstream. arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an error when building with clang after a recent change in main: error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec' make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1 Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such as AMDGPU.

powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

2024-01-25T22:52:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1b1e38002648819c04773647d5242990e2824264 ] crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y.

powerpc/32: Fix boot failure with GCC latent entropy plugin

2022-02-01T16:27:06+00:00

commit bba496656a73fc1d1330b49c7f82843836e9feb1 upstream. Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled. This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy' global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final destination yet. As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it, disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and code-patching.o Fixes: 38addce8b600 ("gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.9+ Reported-by: Erhard Furtner Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215217 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2bac55483b8daf5b1caa163a45fa5f9cdbe18be4.1640178426.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc: Only build restart_table.c for 64s

2021-07-01T12:50:54+00:00

Commit 9b69d48c7516 ("powerpc/64e: remove implicit soft-masking and interrupt exit restart logic") limited the implicit soft masking and restart logic to 64-bit Book3S only. However we are still building restart_table.c for all 64-bit, ie. Book3E also. There's no need to build it for 64e, and it also causes missing prototype warnings for 64e builds, because the prototype is already behind an #ifdef PPC_BOOK3S_64.

powerpc/64: allow alternate return locations for soft-masked interrupts

2021-06-24T14:06:56+00:00

The exception table fixup adjusts a failed page fault's interrupt return location if it was taken at an address specified in the exception table, to a corresponding fixup handler address. Introduce a variation of that idea which adds a fixup table for NMIs and soft-masked asynchronous interrupts. This will be used to protect certain critical sections that are sensitive to being clobbered by interrupts coming in (due to using the same SPRs and/or irq soft-mask state).

powerpc/32: Fix boot failure with CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR

2021-05-04T12:28:05+00:00

Commit 7c95d8893fb5 ("powerpc: Change calling convention for create_branch() et. al.") complexified the frame of function do_feature_fixups(), leading to GCC setting up a stack guard when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR is selected. The problem is that do_feature_fixups() is called very early while 'current' in r2 is not set up yet and the code is still not at the final address used at link time. So, like other instrumentation, stack protection needs to be deactivated for feature-fixups.c and code-patching.c Fixes: 7c95d8893fb5 ("powerpc: Change calling convention for create_branch() et. al.")

powerpc: Move copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault()

2021-04-21T12:52:34+00:00

When probe_kernel_read_inst() was created, there was no good place to put it, so a file called lib/inst.c was dedicated for it. Since then, probe_kernel_read_inst() has been renamed copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault(). And mm/maccess.h didn't exist at that time. Today, mm/maccess.h is related to copy_from_kernel_nofault().

kbuild: LD_VERSION redenomination

2021-02-11T20:12:31+00:00

Commit ccbef1674a15 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO. At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272) The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows: # We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not # support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object. # XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too # XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that? ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y) ... However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272) So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by commit 0d61ed17dd30 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version components"). Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros. Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

2020-10-06T09:18:04+00:00

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.
