The patch sparc64: NG4 memset 32 bits overflow has been applied to the spi tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 253bd2bfbe30032c43379b81f93deeb40f297428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2018 11:29:04 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] sparc64: NG4 memset 32 bits overflow Early in boot Linux patches memset and memcpy to branch to platform optimized versions of these routines. The NG4 (Niagra 4) versions are currently used on all platforms starting from T4. Recently, there were M7 optimized routines added into UEK4 but not into mainline yet. So, even with M7 optimized routines NG4 are still going to be used on T4, T5, M5, and M6 processors. While investigating how to improve initialization time of dentry_hashtable which is 8G long on M6 ldom with 7T of main memory, I noticed that memset() does not reset all the memory in this array, after studying the code, I realized that NG4memset() branches use %icc register instead of %xcc to check compare, so if value of length is over 32-bit long, which is true for 8G array, these routines fail to work properly. The fix is to replace all %icc with %xcc in these routines. (Alternative is to use %ncc, but this is misleading, as the code already has sparcv9 only instructions, and cannot be compiled on 32-bit). This is important to fix this bug, because even older T4-4 can have 2T of memory, and there are large memory proportional data structures in kernel which can be larger than 4G in size. The failing of memset() is silent and corruption is hard to detect.
