commit 702600eef73033ddd4eafcefcbb6560f3e3a90f7 upstream.

Newer versions of awk spit out these fun warnings:
	awk: ../lib/raid6/unroll.awk:16: warning: regexp escape sequence `\#' is not a known regexp operator

As commit 700c1018b86d ("x86/insn: Fix awk regexp warnings") showed, it
turns out that there are a number of awk strings that do not need to be
escaped and newer versions of awk now warn about this.

Fix the string up so that no warning is produced.  The exact same kernel
module gets created before and after this patch, showing that it wasn't
needed.

<title>ARM: 8833/1: Ensure that NEON code always compiles with Clang</title>

[ Upstream commit de9c0d49d85dc563549972edc5589d195cd5e859 ]

While building arm32 allyesconfig, I ran into the following errors:

  arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c:17:2: error: You should compile this file with
  '-mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=neon'

  In file included from lib/raid6/neon1.c:27:
  /home/nathan/cbl/prebuilt/lib/clang/8.0.0/include/arm_neon.h:28:2:
  error: "NEON support not enabled"

Building V=1 showed NEON_FLAGS getting passed along to Clang but
__ARM_NEON__ was not getting defined. Ultimately, it boils down to Clang
only defining __ARM_NEON__ when targeting armv7, rather than armv6k,
which is the '-march' value for allyesconfig.

&gt;From lib/Basic/Targets/ARM.cpp in the Clang source:

  // This only gets set when Neon instructions are actually available, unlike
  // the VFP define, hence the soft float and arch check. This is subtly
  // different from gcc, we follow the intent which was that it should be set
  // when Neon instructions are actually available.
  if ((FPU &amp; NeonFPU) &amp;&amp; !SoftFloat &amp;&amp; ArchVersion &gt;= 7) {
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON", "1");
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON__");
    // current AArch32 NEON implementations do not support double-precision
    // floating-point even when it is present in VFP.
    Builder.defineMacro("__ARM_NEON_FP",
                        "0x" + Twine::utohexstr(HW_FP &amp; ~HW_FP_DP));
  }

Ard Biesheuvel recommended explicitly adding '-march=armv7-a' at the
beginning of the NEON_FLAGS definitions so that __ARM_NEON__ always gets
definined by Clang. This doesn't functionally change anything because
that code will only run where NEON is supported, which is implicitly
armv7.

[ Upstream commit 313a06e636808387822af24c507cba92703568b1 ]

The lib/raid6/test fails to build the neon objects
on arm64 because the correct machine type is 'aarch64'.

Once this is correctly enabled, the neon recovery objects
need to be added to the build.

This implements XOR syndrome calculation using NEON intrinsics.
As before, the module can be built for ARM and arm64 from the
same source.

We already have fpu/types.h, move i387.h to fpu/api.h.

The file name has become a misnomer anyway: it offers generic FPU APIs,
but is not limited to i387 functionality.

The second and (last) optimized XOR syndrome calculation. This version
supports right and left side optimization. All CPUs with architecture
older than Haswell will benefit from it.

It should be noted that SSE2 movntdq kills performance for memory areas
that are read and written simultaneously in chunks smaller than cache
line size. So use movdqa instead for P/Q writes in sse21 and sse22 XOR
functions.

Start the algorithms with the very basic one. It is left and right
optimized. That means we can avoid all calculations for unneeded pages
above the right stop offset. For pages below the left start offset we
still need the syndrome multiplication but without reading data pages.

It is always helpful to have a test tool in place if we implement
new data critical algorithms. So add some test routines to the raid6
checker that can prove if the new xor_syndrome() works as expected.

Run through all permutations of start/stop pages per algorithm and
simulate a xor_syndrome() assisted rmw run. After each rmw check if
the recovery algorithm still confirms that the stripe is fine.
