sparc64: Fix exception handling in UltraSPARC-III memcpy.

2017-08-11T15:34:00Z

[ Upstream commit 0ede1c401332173ab0693121dc6cde04a4dbf131 ] Mikael Pettersson reported that some test programs in the strace-4.18 testsuite cause an OOPS. After some debugging it turns out that garbage values are returned when an exception occurs, causing the fixup memset() to be run with bogus arguments. The problem is that two of the exception handler stubs write the successfully copied length into the wrong register. Fixes: ee841d0aff64 ("sparc64: Convert U3copy_{from,to}_user to accurate exception reporting.")

Adding the type of exported symbols

2017-07-21T04:59:06Z

[ Upstream commit f5a651f1d5e524cab345250a783702fb6a3f14d6 ] Missing symbol type for few functions prevents genksyms from generating symbol versions for those functions. This patch fixes them.

sed regex in Makefile.build requires line break between exported symbols

2017-07-21T04:59:06Z

[ Upstream commit d16c0649feb4fe4e814f44803df5a617769c3233 ] The following regex in Makefile.build matches only one ___EXPORT_SYMBOL per line. sed 's/.*___EXPORT_SYMBOL[[:space:]]*\([a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)[[:space:]]*,.*/EXPORT_SYMBOL(\1);/' ATOMIC_OPS macro in atomic_64.S expands multiple symbols in same line hence version generation is done only for the last matched symbol.

sparc64: fix fault handling in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S

2017-05-09T19:16:25Z

When any of the functions contained in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S vector through *bzero_from_clear_user, we may end up taking a fault when executing one of the store alternate address space instructions. If this happens, the exception handler does not restore the %asi register. This commit fixes the issue by introducing a new exception handler that ensures the %asi register is restored when a fault is handled.

Pull uaccess unification updates from Al Viro: "This is the uaccess unification pile. It's _not_ the end of uaccess work, but the next batch of that will go into the next cycle. This one mostly takes copy_from_user() and friends out of arch/* and gets the zero-padding behaviour in sync for all architectures. Dealing with the nocache/writethrough mess is for the next cycle; fortunately, that's x86-only. Same for cleanups in iov_iter.c (I am sold on access_ok() in there, BTW; just not in this pile), same for reducing __copy_... callsites, strn*... stuff, etc. - there will be a pile about as large as this one in the next merge window.

arch/sparc: Avoid DCTI Couples

2017-03-28T04:51:40Z

Avoid un-intended DCTI Couples. Use of DCTI couples is deprecated. Also address the "Programming Note" for optimal performance. Here is the complete text from Oracle SPARC Architecture Specs. 6.3.4.7 DCTI Couples "A delayed control transfer instruction (DCTI) in the delay slot of another DCTI is referred to as a “DCTI couple”. The use of DCTI couples is deprecated in the Oracle SPARC Architecture; no new software should place a DCTI in the delay slot of another DCTI, because on future Oracle SPARC Architecture implementations DCTI couples may execute either slowly or differently than the programmer assumes it will. SPARC V8 and SPARC V9 Compatibility Note The SPARC V8 architecture left behavior undefined for a DCTI couple. The SPARC V9 architecture defined behavior in that case, but as of UltraSPARC Architecture 2005, use of DCTI couples was deprecated. Software should not expect high performance from DCTI couples, and performance of DCTI couples should be expected to decline further in future processors. Programming Note As noted in TABLE 6-5 on page 115, an annulled branch-always (branch-always with a = 1) instruction is not architecturally a DCTI. However, since not all implementations make that distinction, for optimal performance, a DCTI should not be placed in the instruction word immediately following an annulled branch-always instruction (BA,A or BPA,A)."
