2023-08-25	lib/clz_ctz.c: Fix __clzdi2() and __ctzdi2() for 32-bit kernels	Helge Deller	1	-26/+6
	The gcc compiler translates on some architectures the 64-bit __builtin_clzll() function to a call to the libgcc function __clzdi2(), which should take a 64-bit parameter on 32- and 64-bit platforms. But in the current kernel code, the built-in __clzdi2() function is defined to operate (wrongly) on 32-bit parameters if BITS_PER_LONG == 32, thus the return values on 32-bit kernels are in the range from [0..31] instead of the expected [0..63] range. This patch fixes the in-kernel functions __clzdi2() and __ctzdi2() to take a 64-bit parameter on 32-bit kernels as well, thus it makes the functions identical for 32- and 64-bit kernels. This bug went unnoticed since kernel 3.11 for over 10 years, and here are some possible reasons for that: a) Some architectures have assembly instructions to count the bits and which are used instead of calling __clzdi2(), e.g. on x86 the bsr instruction and on ppc cntlz is used. On such architectures the wrong __clzdi2() implementation isn't used and as such the bug has no effect and won't be noticed. b) Some architectures link to libgcc.a, and the in-kernel weak functions get replaced by the correct 64-bit variants from libgcc.a. c) __builtin_clzll() and __clzdi2() doesn't seem to be used in many places in the kernel, and most likely only in uncritical functions, e.g. when printing hex values via seq_put_hex_ll(). The wrong return value will still print the correct number, but just in a wrong formatting (e.g. with too many leading zeroes). d) 32-bit kernels aren't used that much any longer, so they are less tested. A trivial testcase to verify if the currently running 32-bit kernel is affected by the bug is to look at the output of /proc/self/maps: Here the kernel uses a correct implementation of __clzdi2(): root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps 00010000-00019000 r-xp 00000000 08:05 787324 /usr/bin/cat 00019000-0001a000 rwxp 00009000 08:05 787324 /usr/bin/cat 0001a000-0003b000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] f7551000-f770d000 r-xp 00000000 08:05 794765 /usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 ... and this kernel uses the broken implementation of __clzdi2(): root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps 0000000010000-0000000019000 r-xp 00000000 000000008:000000005 787324 /usr/bin/cat 0000000019000-000000001a000 rwxp 000000009000 000000008:000000005 787324 /usr/bin/cat 000000001a000-000000003b000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 00000000f73d1000-00000000f758d000 r-xp 00000000 000000008:000000005 794765 /usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 ...

2014-04-04	lib/clz_ctz.c: add prototype declarations in lib/clz_ctz.c	Rashika Kheria	1	-0/+7
	Add prototype declarations of functions in lib/clz_ctz.c. These functions are required by GCC builtins and hence can not be removed despite of their unreferenced appearance in kernel source. This eliminates the following warning in lib/clz_ctz.c: lib/clz_ctz.c:16:12: warning: no previous prototype for `__ctzsi2' [-Wmissing-prototypes] lib/clz_ctz.c:22:12: warning: no previous prototype for `__clzsi2' [-Wmissing-prototypes] lib/clz_ctz.c:44:12: warning: no previous prototype for `__clzdi2' [-Wmissing-prototypes] lib/clz_ctz.c:50:12: warning: no previous prototype for `__ctzdi2' [-Wmissing-prototypes] Signed-off-by: Rashika Kheria <rashika.kheria@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Acked-by: Chanho Min <chanho.min@lge.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-07-09	lib: add weak clz/ctz functions	Chanho Min	1	-0/+58
	Some architectures need __c[lt]z[sd]i2() for __builtin_c[lt]z[ll] and that causes a build failure. They can be implemented using the fls()/__ffs() and overridden by linking arch-specific versions may not be implemented yet. This is required by "lib: add lz4 compressor module".
