Subject: [PATCH] ARC: Make ARC bitops "safer" (add anti-optimization)
ARCompact/ARCv2 ISA provide that any instructions which deals with
bitpos/count operand ASL, LSL, BSET, BCLR, BMSK .... will only consider
lower 5 bits. i.e. auto-clamp the pos to 0-31.
ARC Linux bitops exploited this fact by NOT explicitly masking out upper
bits for @nr operand in general, saving a bunch of AND/BMSK instructions
in generated code around bitops.
While this micro-optimization has worked well over years it is NOT safe
as shifting a number with a value, greater than native size is
"undefined" per "C" spec.
So as it turns outm EZChip ran into this eventually, in their massive
muti-core SMP build with 64 cpus. There was a test_bit() inside a loop
from 63 to 0 and gcc was weirdly optimizing away the first iteration
(so it was really adhering to standard by implementing undefined behaviour
vs. removing all the iterations which were phony i.e. (1 << [63..32])
| for i = 63 to 0
| X = ( 1 << i )
| if X == 0
| continue
So fix the code to do the explicit masking at the expense of generating
additional instructions. Fortunately, this can be mitigated to a large
extent as gcc has SHIFT_COUNT_TRUNCATED which allows combiner to fold
masking into shift operation itself. It is currently not enabled in ARC
gcc backend, but could be done after a bit of testing.
Fixes STAR 9000866918 ("unsafe "undefined behavior" code in kernel")
