powerpc: xor_vmx: Add '-mhard-float' to CFLAGS

2024-04-13T10:50:10Z

commit 35f20786c481d5ced9283ff42de5c69b65e5ed13 upstream. arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an error when building with clang after a recent change in main: error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec' make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1 Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such as AMDGPU.

powerpc: Use always instead of always-y in for crtsavres.o

2024-02-23T07:12:40Z

This commit is for linux-4.19.y only, it has no direct upstream equivalent. Prior to commit 5f2fb52fac15 ("kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y"), always-y did not exist, making the backport of mainline commit 1b1e38002648 ("powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y") to linux-4.19.y as commit b7b85ec5ec15 ("powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y") incorrect, breaking the build with linkers that need crtsavres.o: ld.lld: error: cannot open arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory Backporting the aforementioned kbuild commit is not suitable for stable due to its size and number of conflicts, so transform the always-y usage to an equivalent form using always, which resolves the build issues.

powerpc: add crtsavres.o to always-y instead of extra-y

2024-01-25T22:33:31Z

[ Upstream commit 1b1e38002648819c04773647d5242990e2824264 ] crtsavres.o is linked to modules. However, as explained in commit d0e628cd817f ("kbuild: doc: clarify the difference between extra-y and always-y"), 'make modules' does not build extra-y. For example, the following command fails: $ make ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 mrproper ps3_defconfig modules [snip] LD [M] arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko ld.lld: error: cannot open arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modfinal:56: arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/spufs.ko] Error 1 make[2]: *** [Makefile:1844: modules] Error 2 make[1]: *** [/home/masahiro/workspace/linux-kbuild/Makefile:350: __build_one_by_one] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Fixes: baa25b571a16 ("powerpc/64: Do not link crtsavres.o in vmlinux") Reviewed-by: Nicholas Piggin Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://msgid.link/20231120232332.4100288-1-masahiroy@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

powerpc/32: Fix boot failure with GCC latent entropy plugin

2022-02-08T17:23:06Z

commit bba496656a73fc1d1330b49c7f82843836e9feb1 upstream. Boot fails with GCC latent entropy plugin enabled. This is due to early boot functions trying to access 'latent_entropy' global data while the kernel is not relocated at its final destination yet. As there is no way to tell GCC to use PTRRELOC() to access it, disable latent entropy plugin in early_32.o and feature-fixups.o and code-patching.o Fixes: 38addce8b600 ("gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.9+ Reported-by: Erhard Furtner Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215217 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2bac55483b8daf5b1caa163a45fa5f9cdbe18be4.1640178426.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

powerpc/lib: Implement strlen() in assembly for PPC32

2018-08-07T11:49:30Z

The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte. This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do. On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings. strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values: Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c): len 256 : time = 1.195055 len 016 : time = 0.083745 len 008 : time = 0.046828 len 004 : time = 0.028390 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation On a 832x: Before the patch: len 256 : time = 0.236125 len 016 : time = 0.018136 len 008 : time = 0.011000 len 004 : time = 0.007229 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment len 004 : time = 0.008784 Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/lib: optimise PPC32 memcmp

2018-06-03T14:39:21Z

At the time being, memcmp() compares two chunks of memory byte per byte. This patch optimises the comparison by comparing word by word. On the same way as commit 15c2d45d17418 ("powerpc: Add 64bit optimised memcmp"), this patch moves memcmp() into a dedicated file named memcmp_32.S A small benchmark performed on an 8xx comparing two chuncks of 512 bytes performed 100000 times gives: Before : 5852274 TB ticks After: 1488638 TB ticks This is almost 4 times faster Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/lib: optimise 32 bits __clear_user()

2018-06-03T14:39:21Z

Rewrite clear_user() on the same principle as memset(0), making use of dcbz to clear complete cache lines. This code is a copy/paste of memset(), with some modifications in order to retrieve remaining number of bytes to be cleared, as it needs to be returned in case of error. On the same way as done on PPC64 in commit 17968fbbd19f1 ("powerpc: 64bit optimised __clear_user"), the patch moves __clear_user() into a dedicated file string_32.S On a MPC885, throughput is almost doubled: Before: ~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000 1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 18.990779 seconds, 52.7MB/s After: ~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000 1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 9.611468 seconds, 104.0MB/s On a MPC8321, throughput is multiplied by 2.12: Before: root@vgoippro:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000 1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 6.844352 seconds, 146.1MB/s After: root@vgoippro:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000 1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 3.218854 seconds, 310.7MB/s Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/64s: Set assembler machine type to POWER4

2018-03-31T13:47:49Z

Rather than override the machine type in .S code (which can hide wrong or ambiguous code generation for the target), set the type to power4 for all assembly. This also means we need to be careful not to build power4-only code when we're not building for Book3S, such as the "power7" versions of copyuser/page/memcpy.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "A bit of a small release, I suspect in part due to me travelling for KS. But my backlog of patches to review is smaller than usual, so I think in part folks just didn't send as much this cycle. Non-highlights: - Five fixes for the >128T address space handling, both to fix bugs in our implementation and to bring the semantics exactly into line with x86. Highlights: - Support for a new OPAL call on bare metal machines which gives us a true NMI (ie. is not masked by MSR[EE]=0) for debugging etc. - Support for Power9 DD2 in the CXL driver. - Improvements to machine check handling so that uncorrectable errors can be reported into the generic memory_failure() machinery. - Some fixes and improvements for VPHN, which is used under PowerVM to notify the Linux partition of topology changes. - Plumbing to enable TM (transactional memory) without suspend on some Power9 processors (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND). - Support for emulating vector loads form cache-inhibited memory, on some Power9 revisions. - Disable the fast-endian switch "syscall" by default (behind a CONFIG), we believe it has never had any users. - A major rework of the API drivers use when initiating and waiting for long running operations performed by OPAL firmware, and changes to the powernv_flash driver to use the new API. - Several fixes for the handling of FP/VMX/VSX while processes are using transactional memory. - Optimisations of TLB range flushes when using the radix MMU on Power9. - Improvements to the VAS facility used to access coprocessors on Power9, and related improvements to the way the NX crypto driver handles requests. - Implementation of PMEM_API and UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE for 64-bit.

powerpc/lib: Implement PMEM API

2017-11-12T21:00:30Z

Implement the architecture specific cache maintence functions that make up the "PMEM API". Currently the writeback and invalidate functions are the same since the function of the DCBST (data cache block store) instruction is typically interpreted as "writeback to the point of coherency" rather than to memory. As a result implementing the API requires a full cache flush rather than just a cache write back. This will probably change in the not-too-distant future.
