ARM: 8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h

2018-01-01T20:51:58+00:00

commit 1cce91dfc8f7990ca3aea896bfb148f240b12860 upstream.

The asm-generic/unaligned.h header provides two different implementations
for accessing unaligned variables: the access_ok.h version used when
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set pretends that all pointers
are in fact aligned, while the le_struct.h version convinces gcc that the
alignment of a pointer is '1', to make it issue the correct load/store
instructions depending on the architecture flags.

On ARMv5 and older, we always use the second version, to let the compiler
use byte accesses. On ARMv6 and newer, we currently use the access_ok.h
version, so the compiler can use any instruction including stm/ldm and
ldrd/strd that will cause an alignment trap. This trap can significantly
impact performance when we have to do a lot of fixups and, worse, has
led to crashes in the LZ4 decompressor code that does not have a trap
handler.

This adds an ARM specific version of asm/unaligned.h that uses the
le_struct.h/be_struct.h implementation unconditionally. This should lead
to essentially the same code on ARMv6+ as before, with the exception of
using regular load/store instructions instead of the trapping instructions
multi-register variants.

The crash in the LZ4 decompressor code was probably introduced by the
patch replacing the LZ4 implementation, commit 4e1a33b105dd ("lib: update
LZ4 compressor module"), so linux-4.11 and higher would be affected most.
However, we probably want to have this backported to all older stable
kernels as well, to help with the performance issues.

There are two follow-ups that I think we should also work on, but not
backport to stable kernels, first to change the asm-generic version of
the header to remove the ARM special case, and second to review all
other uses of CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to see if they
might be affected by the same problem on ARM.

ARM: 8047/1: rwsem: use asm-generic rwsem implementation

2014-05-30T00:12:25+00:00

asm-generic offers an atomic-add based rwsem implementation, which
can avoid the need for heavier, spinlock-based synchronisation on the
fast path.

This patch makes use of the optimised implementation for ARM CPUs.

locking/mcs: Allow architecture specific asm files to be used for contended case

2014-02-09T20:18:52+00:00

This patch allows each architecture to add its specific assembly optimized
arch_mcs_spin_lock_contended and arch_mcs_spinlock_uncontended for
MCS lock and unlock functions.

locking/mcs: Order the header files in Kbuild of each architecture in alphabetical order

2014-02-09T20:17:50+00:00

We perform a clean up of the Kbuid files in each architecture.
We order the files in each Kbuild in alphabetical order
by running the below script.

for i in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
do
        cat $i | gawk '/^generic-y/ {
                i = 3;
                do {
                        for (; i <= NF; i++) {
                                if ($i == "\\") {
                                        getline;
                                        i = 1;
                                        continue;
                                }
                                if ($i != "")
                                        hdr[$i] = $i;
                        }
                        break;
                } while (1);
                next;
        }
        // {
                print $0;
        }
        END {
                n = asort(hdr);
                for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
                        print "generic-y += " hdr[i];
        }' > ${i}.sorted;
        mv ${i}.sorted $i;
done

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/rmk/linux-arm

2013-11-13T23:51:29+00:00

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Included in this series are:

1. BE8 (modern big endian) changes for ARM from Ben Dooks
2. big.Little support from Nicolas Pitre and Dave Martin
3. support for LPAE systems with all system memory above 4GB
4. Perf updates from Will Deacon
5. Additional prefetching and other performance improvements from Will.
6. Neon-optimised AES implementation fro Ard.
7. A number of smaller fixes scattered around the place.

There is a rather horrid merge conflict in tools/perf - I was never
notified of the conflict because it originally occurred between Will's
tree and other stuff. Consequently I have a resolution which Will
forwarded me, which I'll forward on immediately after sending this
mail.

The other notable thing is I'm expecting some build breakage in the
crypto stuff on ARM only with Ard's AES patches. These were merged
into a stable git branch which others had already pulled, so there's
little I can do about this. The problem is caused because these
patches have a dependency on some code in the crypto git tree - I
tried requesting a branch I can pull to resolve these, and all I got
each time from the crypto people was "we'll revert our patches then"
which would only make things worse since I still don't have the
dependent patches. I've no idea what's going on there or how to
resolve that, and since I can't split these patches from the rest of
this pull request, I'm rather stuck with pushing this as-is or
reverting Ard's patches.

Since it should "come out in the wash" I've left them in - the only
build problems they seem to cause at the moment are with randconfigs,
and since it's a new feature anyway. However, if by -rc1 the
dependencies aren't in, I think it'd be best to revert Ard's patches"

I resolved the perf conflict roughly as per the patch sent by Russell,
but there may be some differences. Any errors are likely mine. Let's
see how the crypto issues work out..

Commit 09096f6 (ARM: 7822/1: add workaround for ambiguous C99 stdint.h
types) introduced an ARM specific 'asm/types.h' to work around some
ambiguities in the definitions of 32 bit types. Hence, we will not be
needing the generic version anymore.
