parisc: Enable CONFIG_MLONGCALLS by default

2018-08-15T16:14:41Z

commit 66509a276c8c1d19ee3f661a41b418d101c57d29 upstream. Enable the -mlong-calls compiler option by default, because otherwise in most cases linking the vmlinux binary fails due to truncations of R_PARISC_PCREL22F relocations. This fixes building the 64-bit defconfig. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.0+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

parisc: Switch to generic sched_clock implementation

2016-11-25T11:31:58Z

Drop the open-coded sched_clock() function and replace it by the provided GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK implementation. We have seen quite some hung tasks in the past, which seem to be fixed by this patch. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Cc: # v4.7+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

atomic64: no need for CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

This came to light when implementing native 64-bit atomics for ARCv2. The atomic64 self-test code uses CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ATOMIC64_DEC_IF_POSITIVE to check whether atomic64_dec_if_positive() is available. It seems it was needed when not every arch defined it. However as of current code the Kconfig option seems needless - for CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 it is auto-enabled in lib/Kconfig and a generic definition of API is present lib/atomic64.c - arches with native 64-bit atomics select it in arch/*/Kconfig and define the API in their headers So I see no point in keeping the Kconfig option Compile tested for: - blackfin (CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64) - x86 (!CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64) - ia64 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1473703083-8625-3-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Matt Turner Cc: Russell King Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Will Deacon Cc: Ralf Baechle Cc: "James E.J.

parisc: Drop bootmem and switch to memblock

2016-10-07T15:03:02Z

Memblock is the standard kernel boot-time memory tracker/allocator. Use it instead of the bootmem allocator. This allows using kmemleak, CMA and other features. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Drop BROKEN_RODATA config option

2016-09-20T16:02:35Z

mm/usercopy: get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS

2016-08-30T17:10:21Z

There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for gcc 4.6 and newer: 1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to be working fine here. Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be changed to *always* be an error, regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS. 2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning This is another static warning which happens when I enable __compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead code and the warning attribute is activated.) So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern, maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug". I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the __compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high. 3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size > object size. All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled for gcc 4.6 with the following commit: 2fb0815c9ee6 ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact, __compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in gcc 4.6.) So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit. Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time, upgrade it to always be an error. Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer needed.

parisc: Add

2016-08-02T14:44:29Z

PA-RISC is interesting; integer multiplies are implemented in the FPU, so are painful in the kernel. But it tries to be friendly to shift-and-add sequences for constant multiplies. __hash_32 is implemented using the same shift-and-add sequence as Microblaze, just scheduled for the PA7100. (It's 2-way superscalar but in-order, like the Pentium.) hash_64 was tricky, but a suggestion from Jason Thong allowed a good solution by breaking up the multiplier. After a lot of manual optimization, I found a 19-instruction sequence for the multiply that can be executed in 10 cycles using only 4 temporaries. (The PA8xxx can issue 4 instructions per cycle, but 2 must be ALU ops and 2 must be loads/stores. And the final add can't be paired.) An alternative considered, but ultimately not used, was Thomas Wang's 64-to-32-bit integer hash. At 12 instructions, it's smaller, but they're all sequentially dependent, so it has longer latency. https://web.archive.org/web/2011/http://www.concentric.net/~Ttwang/tech/inthash.htm http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/integer.html Signed-off-by: George Spelvin Cc: Helge Deller Cc: linux-parisc@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Add native high-resolution sched_clock() implementation

2016-05-22T19:39:25Z

Add a native implementation for the sched_clock() function which utilizes the processor-internal cycle counter (Control Register 16) as high-resolution time source. With this patch we now get much more fine-grained resolutions in various in-kernel time measurements (e.g. when viewing the function tracing logs), and probably a more accurate scheduling on SMP systems. There are a few specific implementation details in this patch: 1. On a 32bit kernel we emulate the higher 32bits of the required 64-bit resolution of sched_clock() by increasing a per-cpu counter at every wrap-around of the 32bit cycle counter. 2. In a SMP system, the cycle counters of the various CPUs are not syncronized (similiar to the TSC in a x86_64 system). To cope with this we define HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and let the upper layers do the adjustment work. 3. Since we need HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, we need to provide a cmpxchg64() function even on a 32-bit kernel. 4. A 64-bit SMP kernel which is started on a UP system will mark the sched_clock() implementation as "stable", which means that we don't expect any jumps in the returned counter. This is true because we then run only on one CPU. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
