[PATCH v4 0/4] MIPS: Override barrier_before_unreachable() to fix microMIPS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series overrides barrier_before_unreachable() for MIPS to add an
.insn assembler directive.

Due to the subsequent __builtin_unreachable(), the assembler can't tell
that a label on the empty inline asm is code rather than data, so any
microMIPS branches targeting it (which sadly can't be removed) raise
errors due to the mismatching ISA mode, Adding the .insn in patch 4
tells the assembler that it should be treated as code.

To do this we add a new standard asm/compiler.h for architecture
overrides in patch 3. There are a few existing asm/compiler.h files
already existing, most of which are fairly simple and don't include
anything else (arm, arm64, mips). Unfortunately the alpha one includes
linux/compiler.h though, so it can undefine some inline macros. On
Arnd's suggestion this is converted to use OPTIMIZE_INLINING instead in
patch 1. A build of alpha's defconfig on GCC 7.3 before and after this
series results in the following size differences, which appear harmless
to me:

$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.1 vmlinux.2
add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 3/0 up/down: 264/-348 (-84)
Function                                     old     new   delta
cap_bprm_set_creds                          1496    1664    +168
cap_issubset                                   -      68     +68

cap_capset                                   488     500     +12
nonroot_raised_pE.constprop                  348       -    -348
Total: Before=5823709, After=5823625, chg -0.00%

Also um needs the generated/ include directory adding to the include
paths in patch 2 so that an asm-generic wrapper asm/compiler.h can be
included from automatically included headers.

Changes in v4 (James):
- Fix asm-generic/compiler.h include from check, compiler_types.h is
  included on the command line so linux/compiler.h may not be included
  (kbuild test robot).
- New patch 2 to fix um (kbuild test robot).

Changes in v3 (James):
- New patch 1.
- Rebase after 4.17 arch removal and update commit messages.
- Use asm/compiler.h instead of compiler-gcc.h (Arnd).
- Drop stable tag for now.

Changes in v2 (Paul):
- Add generic-y entries to arch Kbuild files. Oops!
