The options -mno-mmx and -mno-sse are unconditionally added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS in both branches of an ifeq and through a
$(cc-option) further down. We can safely remove the first
instances.
In fact, since the -mno-mmx and -mno-sse options were introduced
simultaneous with the other two options in the $(cc-option)
[according to http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-3.1/changes.html],
and since the former were unconditionally used, one can deduce that
only gcc versions knowing about all four are supported. So also
eliminate the $(cc-option) wrap.

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code
compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory
code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems
to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards.
Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break
existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality
will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how
can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while.
I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config
option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches
don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This
new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had
to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config
option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches.
Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had
CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that.
For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to
"depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not
recursive.

The new mergeconfig helper makes it easier to add other partial
configurations similar to kvmconfig. Architecture-independent portions
of those partial configurations should go in
kernel/configs/${name}.config, and architecture-dependent portions
should go in arch/${arch}/configs/${name}.config.
Based on a patch by Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@suse.com>.

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two
kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from
kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in
minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in
long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code.
This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various
segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the
kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make
progress only if checsums are verified.
This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then
scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc
with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces:
<stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120.
There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems
cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor
out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)

We recently had the case where wrongly used floating-constant 'E' caused
the generation of traditional x87 instructions in kernel code and
wreaking all kinds of havoc.
Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time
when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of
let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways
at runtime.
We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is ==
-msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says:
On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the
80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even
if -msoft-float is used.
so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any
architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those
cases need special handling anyway).

In checkin
5551a34e5aea x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse
we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer
compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization.
However, this did not extend to the special environments
(arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm).
Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and
add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a
compiler to generate MMX code either.
This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have
long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option,
and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.

Always pass in the -mno-sse argument, regardless if
-preferred-stack-boundary is supported. We never want to generate SSE
instructions in the kernel unless we *really* know what we're doing.
According to H. J. Lu, any version of gcc new enough that we support
it at all should handle the -mno-sse option, so just add it
unconditionally.

Moves the relocation handling into C, after decompression. This requires
that the decompressed size is passed to the decompression routine as
well so that relocations can be found. Only kernels that need relocation
support will use the code (currently just x86_32), but this is laying
the ground work for 64-bit using it in support of KASLR.

altogether.)"
* 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
timeconst.pl: Eliminate Perl warning
x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT
|
|
It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config
from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and
its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the
build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy
to trash an entire build tree that way.
This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from
'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64),
which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should
default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we
started so long ago.
This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands
such as:
make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig
make ARCH=i386 randconfig
... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation
is not desirable.
In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values.
We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using
$KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need
to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding
CONFIG_64BIT.
We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from
the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing
that though.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

firmware: fix directory creation rule matching with make 3.80
|
|
While building the SUSE kernel packages, which build the scripts,
make clean, and then build everything, we have been running into spurious
build failures. We tracked them down to a simple dependency issue:
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/tools
CLEAN scripts/basic
$ cp patches/config/x86_64/desktop .config
$ make archscripts
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs
/bin/sh: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/tools/relocs] Error 1
make[2]: *** [archscripts] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
This was introduced by commit
6520fe55 (x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs),
which added the archscripts dependency to archprepare.
This patch adds the scripts_basic dependency to the x86 archscripts.

GCC built with nonstandard options can enable -fpic by default.
We never want this for 32-bit kernels and it will break the build.
[ hpa: Notably the Android toolchain apparently does this. ]

On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However,
this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except
in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry
on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which
means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack
*mis*aligned!
gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this
and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions.
Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant,
but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is
passed on the same command line.

Pull md updates from NeilBrown:
"It's been a busy cycle for md - lots of fun stuff here.. if you like
this kind of thing :-)
Main features:
- RAID10 arrays can be reshaped - adding and removing devices and
changing chunks (not 'far' array though)
- allow RAID5 arrays to be reshaped with a backup file (not tested
yet, but the priciple works fine for RAID10).
- arrays can be reshaped while a bitmap is present - you no longer
need to remove it first
- SSSE3 support for RAID6 syndrome calculations
and of course a number of minor fixes etc."
* tag 'md-3.5' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (56 commits)
md/bitmap: record the space available for the bitmap in the superblock.
md/raid10: Remove extras after reshape to smaller number of devices.
md/raid5: improve removal of extra devices after reshape.
md: check the return of mddev_find()
MD RAID1: Further conditionalize 'fullsync'
DM RAID: Use md_error() in place of simply setting Faulty bit

Pull x86/urgent branch from Ingo Molnar:
"These are the fixes left over from the very end of the v3.4
stabilization cycle, plus one more fix."
Ugh. Those KERN_CONT additions are just pointless. I think they came
as a reaction to some of the early (broken) printk() work - but that was
fixed before it was merged.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.
In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.
The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]

Same code. Use the generic version. The special Makefile treatment is
pointless anyway as init_task.o contains only data which is handled by
the linker script. So no point on being treated like head text.

On gccs that support AVX it's a good idea to disable that too, similar to
how SSE2, SSE1 etc. are already disabled. This prevents the compiler
from generating AVX ever implicitely.
No failure observed, just from review.
[ hpa: Marking this for urgent and stable, simply because the patch
will either have absolutely no effect *or* it will avoid potentially
very hard to debug failures. ]

If X32 is enabled in .config, but the binutils can't build it, issue a
warning and disable the feature rather than erroring out.
In order to support this, have CONFIG_X86_X32 be the option set in
Kconfig, and CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI be the option set by the Makefile when
it is enabled and binutils has been found to be functional.

Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls,
is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
the near future.
This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
the same mechanism.
