[ Upstream commit cfe0d370e0788625ce0df3239aad07a2506c1796 ]

When building with a recent version of clang, there are a couple of
errors around the call to module_init():

  arch/powerpc/math-emu/math_efp.c:927:1: error: type specifier missing, defaults to 'int'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit int [-Wimplicit-int]
  module_init(spe_mathemu_init);
  ^
  int
  arch/powerpc/math-emu/math_efp.c:927:13: error: a parameter list without types is only allowed in a function definition
  module_init(spe_mathemu_init);
              ^
  2 errors generated.

module_init() is a macro, which is not getting expanded because module.h
is not included in this file. Add the include so that the macro can
expand properly, clearing up the build failure.

<title>powerpc/64s: avoid reloading (H)SRR registers if they are still valid</title>

<content type='text'>
When an interrupt is taken, the SRR registers are set to return to where
it left off. Unless they are modified in the meantime, or the return
address or MSR are modified, there is no need to reload these registers
when returning from interrupt.

Introduce per-CPU flags that track the validity of SRR and HSRR
registers. These are cleared when returning from interrupt, when
using the registers for something else (e.g., OPAL calls), when
adjusting the return address or MSR of a context, and when context
switching (which changes the return address and MSR).

This improves the performance of interrupt returns.

<content type='text'>
The header search path -I. in kernel Makefiles is very suspicious;
it allows the compiler to search for headers in the top of $(srctree),
where obviously no header file exists.

-Iinclude/math-emu seems unnecessary because all files include headers
in the form of #include &lt;math-emu/...&gt;.

I was able to build without these header search paths.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<name>Greg Kroah-Hartman</name>

<published>2017-11-01T14:07:57Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<content type='text'>
The emulated (CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION_FULL)
PowerPC Floating Point instruction mtfsf
does not correctly copy bits from its source
register to the Floating Point Status and Register (FPSCR).

The error is in the preparation of the mask used to
select the bits to be copied from the source to the FPSCR.

Execution of the mtfsf instruction does not produce the same
results on a MPC8548 platform (emulated floating point)
as on MPC7410 or 440EP platforms (hardware floating point).

This error has been detected using a Freescale MPC8548
based platform and the patch below tested using that platform.

The patch is based on the patch(es) provided by
Gabriel Paubert and analysis by Gabriel, James Yang and David Laight.

The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code is called from
SPEFloatingPointException and SPEFloatingPointRoundException in
arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c.  Those functions have support for
generating SIGFPE, but do_spe_mathemu and speround_handler don't
generate a return value to indicate that this should be done.  Such a
return value should depend on whether an exception is raised that has
been set via prctl to generate SIGFPE.  This patch adds the relevant
logic in these functions so that SIGFPE is generated as expected by
the glibc testsuite.

<title>powerpc: fix e500 SPE float to integer and fixed-point conversions</title>

<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=28fbf1d540920ad6722fa6ac15237a307932bc9b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:28fbf1d540920ad6722fa6ac15237a307932bc9b</id>
<content type='text'>
The e500 SPE floating-point emulation code has several problems in how
it handles conversions to integer and fixed-point fractional types.

There are the following 20 relevant instructions.  These can convert
to signed or unsigned 32-bit integers, either rounding towards zero
(as correct for C casts from floating-point to integer) or according
to the current rounding mode, or to signed or unsigned 32-bit
fixed-point values (values in the range [-1, 1) or [0, 1)).  For
conversion from double precision there are also instructions to
convert to 64-bit integers, rounding towards zero, although as far as
I know those instructions are completely theoretical (they are only
defined for implementations that support both SPE and classic 64-bit,
and I'm not aware of any such hardware even though the architecture
definition permits that combination).

#define EFSCTUI		0x2d4
#define EFSCTSI		0x2d5
#define EFSCTUF		0x2d6
#define EFSCTSF		0x2d7
#define EFSCTUIZ	0x2d8
#define EFSCTSIZ	0x2da

#define EVFSCTUI	0x294
#define EVFSCTSI	0x295
#define EVFSCTUF	0x296
#define EVFSCTSF	0x297
#define EVFSCTUIZ	0x298
#define EVFSCTSIZ	0x29a

#define EFDCTUIDZ	0x2ea
#define EFDCTSIDZ	0x2eb

#define EFDCTUI		0x2f4
#define EFDCTSI		0x2f5
#define EFDCTUF		0x2f6
#define EFDCTSF		0x2f7
#define EFDCTUIZ	0x2f8
#define EFDCTSIZ	0x2fa

The emulation code, for the instructions that come in variants
rounding either towards zero or according to the current rounding
direction, uses "if (func &amp; 0x4)" as a condition for using _FP_ROUND
(otherwise _FP_ROUND_ZERO is used).  The condition is correct, but the
code it controls isn't.  Whether _FP_ROUND or _FP_ROUND_ZERO is used
makes no difference, as the effect of those soft-fp macros is to round
an intermediate floating-point result using the low three bits (the
last one sticky) of the working format.  As these operations are
dealing with a freshly unpacked floating-point input, those low bits
are zero and no rounding occurs.  The emulation code then uses the
FP_TO_INT_* macros for the actual integer conversion, with the effect
of always rounding towards zero; for rounding according to the current
rounding direction, it should be using FP_TO_INT_ROUND_*.

The instructions in question have semantics defined (in the Power ISA
documents) for out-of-range values and NaNs: out-of-range values
saturate and NaNs are converted to zero.  The emulation does nothing
to follow those semantics for NaNs (the soft-fp handling is to treat
them as infinities), and messes up the saturation semantics.  For
single-precision conversion to integers, (((func &amp; 0x3) != 0) || SB_s)
is the condition used for doing a signed conversion.  The first part
is correct, but the second isn't: negative numbers should result in
saturation to 0 when converted to unsigned.  Double-precision
conversion to 64-bit integers correctly uses ((func &amp; 0x1) == 0).
Double-precision conversion to 32-bit integers uses (((func &amp; 0x3) !=
0) || DB_s), with correct first part and incorrect second part.  And
vector float conversion to integers uses (((func &amp; 0x3) != 0) ||
SB0_s) (and similar for the other vector element), where the sign bit
check is again wrong.

The incorrect handling of negative numbers converted to unsigned was
introduced in commit afc0a07d4a283599ac3a6a31d7454e9baaeccca0.  The
rationale given there was a C testcase with cast from float to
unsigned int.  Conversion of out-of-range floating-point numbers to
integer types in C is undefined behavior in the base standard, defined
in Annex F to produce an unspecified value.  That is, the C testcase
used to justify that patch is incorrect - there is no ISO C
requirement for a particular value resulting from this conversion -
and in any case, the correct semantics for such emulation are the
semantics for the instruction (unsigned saturation, which is what it
does in hardware when the emulation is disabled).

The conversion to fixed-point values has its own problems.  That code
doesn't try to do a full emulation; it relies on the trap handler only
being called for arguments that are infinities, NaNs, subnormal or out
of range.  That's fine, but the logic ((vb.wp[1] &gt;&gt; 23) == 0xff &amp;&amp;
((vb.wp[1] &amp; 0x7fffff) &gt; 0)) for NaN detection won't detect negative
NaNs as being NaNs (the same applies for the double-precision case),
and subnormals are mapped to 0 rather than respecting the rounding
mode; the code should also explicitly raise the "invalid" exception.
The code for vectors works by executing the scalar float instruction
with the trapping disabled, meaning at least subnormals won't be
handled correctly.

As well as all those problems in the main emulation code, the rounding
handler - used to emulate rounding upward and downward when not
supported in hardware and when no higher priority exception occurred -
has its own problems.

* It gets called in some cases even for the instructions rounding to
  zero, and then acts according to the current rounding mode when it
  should just leave alone the truncated result provided by hardware.

* It presumes that the result is a single-precision, double-precision
  or single-precision vector as appropriate for the instruction type,
  determines the sign of the result accordingly, and then adjusts the
  result based on that sign and the rounding mode.

  - In the single-precision cases at least the sign determination for
    an integer result is the same as for a floating-point result; in
    the double-precision case, converted to 32-bit integer or fixed
    point, the sign of a double-precision value is in the high part of
    the register but it's the low part of the register that has the
    result of the conversion.

  - If the result is unsigned fixed-point, its sign may be wrongly
    determined as negative (does not actually cause problems, because
    inexact unsigned fixed-point results with the high bit set can
    only appear when converting from double, in which case the sign
    determination is instead wrongly using the high part of the
    register).

  - If the sign of the result is correctly determined as negative, any
    adjustment required to change the truncated result to one correct
    for the rounding mode should be in the opposite direction for
    two's-complement integers as for sign-magnitude floating-point
    values.

  - And if the integer result is zero, the correct sign can only be
    determined by examining the original operand, and not at all (as
    far as I can tell) if the operand and result are the same
    register.

This patch fixes all these problems (as far as possible, given the
inability to determine the correct sign in the rounding handler when
the truncated result is 0, the conversion is to a signed type and the
truncated result has overwritten the original operand).  Conversion to
fixed-point now uses full emulation, and does not use "asm" in the
vector case; the semantics are exactly those of converting to integer
according to the current rounding direction, once the exponent has
been adjusted, so the code makes such an adjustment then uses the
FP_TO_INT_ROUND macros.

The testcase I used for verifying that the instructions (other than
the theoretical conversions to 64-bit integers) produce the correct
results is at &lt;http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/8/708&gt;.
