  • When called more than twice, the nios2_time_init() function return an
    uninitialized value, as detected by gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized

    arch/nios2/kernel/time.c: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

    This makes it return '0' here, matching the comment above the function.

  • When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
    output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
    messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
    emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

    We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
    .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
    PC to see if it lies within that section.

    This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
    the minimal framework for other architectures.

  • The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
    attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data.
    However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned
    long will do fine:

    1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting
    attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
    and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.

    2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
    attributes are passed by value.

    Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them):

    virtual patch
    virtual context

    @r@
    identifier f, attrs;

    f(...,

  • There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok

    __init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref.

    Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485fb50 ("Introduce new
    section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst")

    This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces
    them treewide.

    /* compatibility defines */
    #define __init_refok __ref
    #define __initdata_refok __refdata
    #define __exit_refok __ref

    I can also provide separate patches if necessary.
    (One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions)

  • The init functions do not return any error. They behave as the following:

    - panic, thus leading to a kernel crash while another timer may work and
    make the system boot up correctly

    or

    - print an error and let the caller unaware if the state of the system

    Change that by converting the init functions to return an error conforming
    to the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_RET prototype.

    Proper error handling (rollback, errno value) will be changed later case
    by case, thus this change just return back an error or success in the init
    function.

  • __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
    around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

    pte_alloc_one{_kernel} allocate PTE_ORDER which is 0. This means that
    this flag has never been actually useful here because it has always been
    used only for PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

  • The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
    1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
    2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
    3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)

    Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
    algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
    division-based Euclidian algorithm.

    On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
    emulation code, it's even more significant.

    There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
    __ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available. This
    allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
    be eliminated.

    If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

  • Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
    "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:

    Core infrastructural changes:

    - Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.

    This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
    drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
    did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
    get high impedance.

    This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
    for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
    wrote.

    - Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
    ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
    evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
    unmaintained.

    Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
    arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs ACKed
    the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.

    - Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
    storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
    a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
    serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.

    - The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
    lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
    implemented - whether the line is input or output. This also
    reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".

    - It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
    the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for a while).
    I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
    This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
    GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.

    New drivers:

    - New driver for the Loongson1.

    - The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.

    - The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.

    - The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.

    Driver improvements:

    - MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
    also suppors level-triggered interrupts.

    - 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback

    - AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.

    - TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
    support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some
    cases open source.

    - Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like
    PL061, Xgene.

    Cleanups:

    - Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those
    who are not really modules.

    - Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they
    belong.

    - Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
    point. That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less"

  • The extra CFLAGS required for correct operation of the toolchain are not
    propagated into the libgcc detection code. In case of the compiler from
    poky sdk, these extra CFLAGS contain the location of compiler sysroot
    (the --sysroot= option) and without this option, the location of libgcc
    is not properly reported. Add the missing CFLAGS to address this issue.

  • The newer renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by
    the renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need
    to include renameat.

    Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
    __ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
    including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
    generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are
    affected.

  • Depending on the size of the area to be memset'ed, the nios2 memset implementation
    either uses a naive loop (for buffers smaller or equal than 8 bytes) or a more optimized
    implementation (for buffers larger than 8 bytes). This implementation does 4-byte stores
    rather than 1-byte stores to speed up memset.

    However, we discovered that on our nios2 platform, memset() was not properly setting the
    buffer to the expected value. A memset of 0xff would not set the entire buffer to 0xff, but to:

    0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 0xff 0x00 ...

    Which is obviously incorrect. Our investigation has revealed that the problem lies in the
    incorrect constraints used in the inline assembly.

    The following piece of assembly, from the nios2 memset implementation, is supposed to
    create a 4-byte value that repeats 4 times the 1-byte pattern passed as memset argument:

    /* fill8 %3, %5 (c & 0xff) */
    " slli %4, %5, 8\n"
    " or %4, %4, %5\n"
    " slli %3, %4, 16\n"
    " or %3, %3, %4\n"

    However, depending on the compiler and optimization level, this code might be compiled as:

    34: 280a923a slli r5,r5,8
    38: 294ab03a or r5,r5,r5
    3c: 2808943a slli r4,r5,16
    40: 2148b03a or r4,r4,r5

    This is wrong because r5 gets used both for %5 and %4, which leads to the final pattern
    stored in r4 to be 0xff00ff00 rather than the expected 0xffffffff.

    %4 is defined with the "=r" constraint, i.e as an output operand. However, as explained in
    http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/arm-inline-asm.html, this does not prevent gcc from
    using the same register for an output operand (%4) and input operand (%5). By using the
    constraint modifier '&', we indicate that the register should be used for output only. With this
    change, we get the following assembly output:

    34: 2810923a slli r8,r5,8
    38: 4150b03a or r8,r8,r5
    3c: 400e943a slli r7,r8,16
    40: 3a0eb03a or r7,r7,r8

    Which correctly produces the 0xffffffff pattern when 0xff is passed as the memset() pattern.

    It is worth mentioning the observed consequence of this bug: we were hitting the kernel
    BUG() in mm/bootmem.c:__free() that verifies when marking a page as free that it was
    previously marked as occupied (i.e that the bit was set to 1). The entire bootmem bitmap is
    set to 0xff bit via a memset() during the bootmem initialization. The bootmem_free() call right
    after the initialization was finding some bits to be set to 0, which didn't make sense since the
    bitmap has just been memset'ed to 0xff. Except that due to the bug explained above, the
    bitmap was in fact initialized to 0xff00ff00.

    Thanks to Marek Vasut for his help and feedback.

    the macro page_to_virt() should be of type void*, since it returns a

  • KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
    This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
    number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

    Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the
    users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the
    __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
    corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

  • This patch updates all instances of csum_tcpudp_magic and
    csum_tcpudp_nofold to reflect the types that are usually used as the source
    inputs. For example the protocol field is populated based on nexthdr which
    is actually an unsigned 8 bit value. The length is usually populated based
    on skb->len which is an unsigned integer.

    This addresses an issue in which the IPv6 function csum_ipv6_magic was
    generating a checksum using the full 32b of skb->len while
    csum_tcpudp_magic was only using the lower 16 bits. As a result we could
    run into issues when attempting to adjust the checksum as there was no
    protocol agnostic way to update it.

    With this change the value is still truncated as many architectures use
    "(len + proto) << 8", however this truncation only occurs for values
    greater than 16776960 in length and as such is unlikely to occur as we stop
    the inner headers at ~64K in size.

    I did have to make a few minor changes in the arm, mn10300, nios2, and
    score versions of the function in order to support these changes as they
    were either using things such as an OR to combine the protocol and length,
    or were using ntohs to convert the length which would have truncated the
    value.

    I also updated a few spots in terms of whitespace and type differences for
    the addresses. Most of this was just to make sure all of the definitions
    were in sync going forward.
