[PATCH 5.4 36/43] ARM: 9324/1: fix get_user() broken with veneer

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

 



5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 24d3ba0a7b44c1617c27f5045eecc4f34752ab03 upstream.

The 32-bit ARM kernel stops working if the kernel grows to the point
where veneers for __get_user_* are created.

AAPCS32 [1] states, "Register r12 (IP) may be used by a linker as a
scratch register between a routine and any subroutine it calls. It
can also be used within a routine to hold intermediate values between
subroutine calls."

However, bl instructions buried within the inline asm are unpredictable
for compilers; hence, "ip" must be added to the clobber list.

This becomes critical when veneers for __get_user_* are created because
veneers use the ip register since commit 02e541db0540 ("ARM: 8323/1:
force linker to use PIC veneers").
