3.8.13.20 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ivan Djelic <ivan.djelic@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 455bd4c430b0c0a361f38e8658a0d6cb469942b5 upstream.
Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.
For instance in the following function:
void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
{
memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
waiter->magic = waiter;
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
}
compiled as:
800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr}
800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1
800554d8: e3a02010 mov r2, #16 ; 0x10
800554dc: e3a01011 mov r1, #17 ; 0x11
800554e0: eb04426e bl 80165ea0 <memset>
800554e4: e1a03000 mov r3, r0
800554e8: e583000c str r0, [r3, #12]
800554ec: e5830000 str r0, [r3]
800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4]
800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc}
GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
register/memory corruptions.
This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
existing load/store instructions.
For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:
Step 1
======
Perform the following substitutions:
ip -> r8, then
r0 -> ip,
and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).
Step 2
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:
save r8:
- str lr, [sp, #-4]!
+ stmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
- ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
- ldr lr, [sp], #4
+ ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
Step 3
======
Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:
save r8:
- stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
and restore r8 on both exit paths:
bgt 3b
- ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
+ ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
(...)
tst r2, #16
stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
- ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
+ ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
Step 4
======
Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".
