powerpc/32: Remove remaining .stabs annotations

2022-02-07T10:03:10+00:00

STABS debug format has been superseded long time ago by DWARF. Remove the few remaining .stabs annotations from old 32 bits code.

powerpc: prepare string/mem functions for KASAN

2019-05-02T15:20:25+00:00

CONFIG_KASAN implements wrappers for memcpy() memmove() and memset() Those wrappers are doing the verification then call respectively __memcpy() __memmove() and __memset(). The arches are therefore expected to rename their optimised functions that way. For files on which KASAN is inhibited, #defines are used to allow them to directly call optimised versions of the functions without going through the KASAN wrappers. See commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions") for details. Other string / mem functions do not (yet) have kasan wrappers, we therefore have to fallback to the generic versions when KASAN is active, otherwise KASAN checks will be skipped.

powerpc/lib: Use patch_site to patch copy_32 functions once cache is enabled

2018-08-10T12:12:35+00:00

The symbol memcpy_nocache_branch defined in order to allow patching of memset function once cache is enabled leads to confusing reports by perf tool. Using the new patch_site functionality solves this issue. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/32: remove a NOP from memset()

2017-09-01T06:42:46+00:00

memset() is patched after initialisation to activate the optimised part which uses cache instructions. Today we have a 'b 2f' to skip the optimised patch, which then gets replaced by a NOP, implying a useless cycle consumption. As we have a 'bne 2f' just before, we could use that instruction for the live patching, hence removing the need to have a dedicated 'b 2f' to be replaced by a NOP. This patch changes the 'bne 2f' by a 'b 2f'. During init, that 'b 2f' is then replaced by 'bne 2f' Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/32: optimise memset()

2017-09-01T06:42:46+00:00

There is no need to extend the set value to an int when the length is lower than 4 as in that case we only do byte stores. We can therefore immediately branch to the part handling it. By separating it from the normal case, we are able to eliminate a few actions on the destination pointer. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: fix location of two EXPORT_SYMBOL

2017-09-01T06:42:45+00:00

Commit 9445aa1a3062a ("ppc: move exports to definitions") added EXPORT_SYMBOL() for memset() and flush_hash_pages() in the middle of the functions. This patch moves them at the end of the two functions. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/32: add memset16()

2017-09-01T06:42:45+00:00

Commit 694fc88ce271f ("powerpc/string: Implement optimized memset variants") added memset16(), memset32() and memset64() for the 64 bits PPC. On 32 bits, memset64() is not relevant, and as shown below, the generic version of memset32() gives a good code, so only memset16() is candidate for an optimised version. 000009c0 : 9c0: 2c 05 00 00 cmpwi r5,0 9c4: 39 23 ff fc addi r9,r3,-4 9c8: 4d 82 00 20 beqlr 9cc: 7c a9 03 a6 mtctr r5 9d0: 94 89 00 04 stwu r4,4(r9) 9d4: 42 00 ff fc bdnz 9d0 9d8: 4e 80 00 20 blr The last part of memset() handling the not 4-bytes multiples operates on bytes, making it unsuitable for handling word without modification. As it would increase memset() complexity, it is better to implement memset16() from scratch. In addition it has the advantage of allowing a more optimised memset16() than what we would have by using the memset() function. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
