<id>urn:sha1:4d1f99ad23b677c15237578f2017a27a8e185064</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Specifying the aligned attributes to the char data[NDISKS][PAGE_SIZE],
char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] and char recovi[PAGE_SIZE] arrays, so that all
malloc memory is page boundary aligned.

Without these alignment attributes, the test causes a segfault in
userspace when the NDISKS are changed to 4 from 16.

The RAID stripes will be page aligned anyway, so we want to test what
the kernel actually will execute.
