There are three usercopy warnings which are currently being silenced for
gcc 4.6 and newer:
1) "copy_from_user() buffer size is too small" compile warning/error
This is a static warning which happens when object size and copy size
are both const, and copy size > object size. I didn't see any false
positives for this one. So the function warning attribute seems to
be working fine here.
Note this scenario is always a bug and so I think it should be
changed to *always* be an error, regardless of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS.
2) "copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct" compile warning
This is another static warning which happens when I enable
__compiletime_object_size() for new compilers (and
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS). It happens when object size
is const, but copy size is *not*. In this case there's no way to
compare the two at build time, so it gives the warning. (Note the
warning is a byproduct of the fact that gcc has no way of knowing
whether the overflow function will be called, so the call isn't dead
code and the warning attribute is activated.)
So this warning seems to only indicate "this is an unusual pattern,
maybe you should check it out" rather than "this is a bug".
I get 102(!) of these warnings with allyesconfig and the
__compiletime_object_size() gcc check removed. I don't know if there
are any real bugs hiding in there, but from looking at a small
sample, I didn't see any. According to Kees, it does sometimes find
real bugs. But the false positive rate seems high.
3) "Buffer overflow detected" runtime warning
This is a runtime warning where object size is const, and copy size >
object size.
All three warnings (both static and runtime) were completely disabled
for gcc 4.6 with the following commit:
2fb0815c9e ("gcc4: disable __compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+")
That commit mistakenly assumed that the false positives were caused by a
gcc bug in __compiletime_object_size(). But in fact,
__compiletime_object_size() seems to be working fine. The false
positives were instead triggered by #2 above. (Though I don't have an
explanation for why the warnings supposedly only started showing up in
gcc 4.6.)
So remove warning #2 to get rid of all the false positives, and re-enable
warnings #1 and #3 by reverting the above commit.
Furthermore, since #1 is a real bug which is detected at compile time,
upgrade it to always be an error.
Having done all that, CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS is no longer
needed.

When building gccgo in userspace, errno.h gets parsed and the go include file
sysinfo.go is generated.
Since EREFUSED is defined to the same value as ECONNREFUSED, and ECONNREFUSED
is defined later on in errno.h, this leads to go complaining that EREFUSED
isn't defined yet.
Fix this trivial problem by moving the define of EREFUSED down after
ECONNREFUSED in errno.h (and clean up the indenting while touching this line).

PA-RISC is interesting; integer multiplies are implemented in the
FPU, so are painful in the kernel. But it tries to be friendly to
shift-and-add sequences for constant multiplies.
__hash_32 is implemented using the same shift-and-add sequence as
Microblaze, just scheduled for the PA7100. (It's 2-way superscalar
but in-order, like the Pentium.)
hash_64 was tricky, but a suggestion from Jason Thong allowed a
good solution by breaking up the multiplier. After a lot of manual
optimization, I found a 19-instruction sequence for the multiply that
can be executed in 10 cycles using only 4 temporaries.
(The PA8xxx can issue 4 instructions per cycle, but 2 must be ALU ops
and 2 must be loads/stores. And the final add can't be paired.)
An alternative considered, but ultimately not used, was Thomas Wang's
64-to-32-bit integer hash. At 12 instructions, it's smaller, but they're
all sequentially dependent, so it has longer latency.

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.

This patch (of 19):
__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. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

Add a native implementation for the sched_clock() function which utilizes the
processor-internal cycle counter (Control Register 16) as high-resolution time
source.
With this patch we now get much more fine-grained resolutions in various
in-kernel time measurements (e.g. when viewing the function tracing logs), and
probably a more accurate scheduling on SMP systems.
There are a few specific implementation details in this patch:
1. On a 32bit kernel we emulate the higher 32bits of the required 64-bit
resolution of sched_clock() by increasing a per-cpu counter at every
wrap-around of the 32bit cycle counter.
2. In a SMP system, the cycle counters of the various CPUs are not syncronized
(similiar to the TSC in a x86_64 system). To cope with this we define
HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK and let the upper layers do the adjustment work.
3. Since we need HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, we need to provide a cmpxchg64()
function even on a 32-bit kernel.
4. A 64-bit SMP kernel which is started on a UP system will mark the
sched_clock() implementation as "stable", which means that we don't expect any
jumps in the returned counter. This is true because we then run only on one
CPU.

This patch simplifies the code for get_user() and put_user() a lot.
Instead of accessing kernel memory (%sr0) and userspace memory (%sr3)
hard-coded in the assembler instruction, we now preload %sr2 with either
%sr0 (for accessing KERNEL_DS) or with sr3 (to access USER_DS) and
use %sr2 in the load directly.
The generated code avoids a branch and speeds up execution by generating
less assembler instructions.
