This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ACPI: Don't build ACPICA with '-Os' to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: acpi-don-t-build-acpica-with-os.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit abde976836aed9e765b67d7a11033393f4e09efc Author: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 23 13:45:58 2023 +0000 ACPI: Don't build ACPICA with '-Os' [ Upstream commit 8f9e0a52810dd83406c768972d022c37e7a18f1f ] The ACPICA code has been built with '-Os' since the beginning of git history, though there's no explanatory comment as to why. This is unfortunate as GCC drops the alignment specificed by '-falign-functions=N' when '-Os' is used, as reported in GCC bug 88345: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88345 This prevents CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B from having their expected effect on the ACPICA code. This is doubly unfortunate as in subsequent patches arm64 will depend upon CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT for its ftrace implementation. Drop the '-Os' flag when building the ACPICA code. With this removed, the code builds cleanly and works correctly in testing so far. I've tested this by selecting CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B=y, building and booting a kernel using ACPI, and looking for misaligned text symbols: * arm64: Before, v6.2-rc3: # uname -rm 6.2.0-rc3 aarch64 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 5009 Before, v6.2-rc3 + fixed __cold: # uname -rm 6.2.0-rc3-00001-g2a2bedf8bfa9 aarch64 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 919 After: # uname -rm 6.2.0-rc3-00002-g267bddc38572 aarch64 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 323 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | grep acpi | wc -l 0 * x86_64: Before, v6.2-rc3: # uname -rm 6.2.0-rc3 x86_64 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 11537 Before, v6.2-rc3 + fixed __cold: # uname -rm 6.2.0-rc3-00001-g2a2bedf8bfa9 x86_64 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 2805 After: # uname -rm 6.2.0-rc3-00002-g267bddc38572 x86_64 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | wc -l 1357 # grep ' [Tt] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep -iv '[048c]0 [Tt] ' | grep acpi | wc -l 0 With the patch applied, the remaining unaligned text labels are a combination of static call trampolines and labels in assembly, which can be dealt with in subsequent patches.
