asm-generic: partially revert "Unify uapi bitsperlong.h for arm64, riscv and loongarch"

2025-12-06T21:12:36+00:00

commit 6e8d96909a23c8078ee965bd48bb31cbef2de943 upstream. Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers. This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport, and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem. arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits for arm64 and riscv.

asm-generic: Unify uapi bitsperlong.h for arm64, riscv and loongarch

2025-12-06T21:12:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8386f58f8deda81110283798a387fb53ec21957c ] Now we specify the minimal version of GCC as 5.1 and Clang/LLVM as 11.0.0 in Documentation/process/changes.rst, __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__ are usable, it is probably fine to unify the definition of __BITS_PER_LONG as (__CHAR_BIT__ * __SIZEOF_LONG__) in asm-generic uapi bitsperlong.h. In order to keep safe and avoid regression, only unify uapi bitsperlong.h for some archs such as arm64, riscv and loongarch which are using newer toolchains that have the definitions of __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__.

Or maybe we need to leave this for later when this is all tested on those machines? static const struct midr_range neoverse_spe[] = { MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS(MIDR_NEOVERSE_N1), MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS(MIDR_NEOVERSE_N2), MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS(MIDR_NEOVERSE_V1), {}, }; Mark Rutland recommended about arm-spe.c: "I would not touch this for now -- someone would have to go audit the TRMs to check that those other cores have the same encoding, and I think it'd be better to do that as a follow-up."
