alpha/elf: Fix misc/setarch test of util-linux by removing 32bit support

2025-04-10T12:31:50Z

[ Upstream commit b029628be267cba3c7684ec684749fe3e4372398 ] Richard Henderson writes[1]: > There was a Spec benchmark (I forget which) which was memory bound and ran > twice as fast with 32-bit pointers. > > I copied the idea from DEC to the ELF abi, but never did all the other work > to allow the toolchain to take advantage. > > Amusingly, a later Spec changed the benchmark data sets to not fit into a > 32-bit address space, specifically because of this. > > I expect one could delete the ELF bit and personality and no one would > notice. Not even the 10 remaining Alpha users. In [2] it was pointed out that parts of setarch weren't working properly on alpha because it has it's own SET_PERSONALITY implementation. In the discussion that followed Richard Henderson pointed out that the 32bit pointer support for alpha was never completed. Fix this by removing alpha's 32bit pointer support. As a bit of paranoia refuse to execute any alpha binaries that have the EF_ALPHA_32BIT flag set. Just in case someone somewhere has binaries that try to use alpha's 32bit pointer support.

alpha: make stack 16-byte aligned (most cases)

2025-03-13T11:50:40Z

commit 0a0f7362b0367634a2d5cb7c96226afc116f19c9 upstream. The problem is that GCC expects 16-byte alignment of the incoming stack since early 2004, as Maciej found out [1]: Having actually dug speculatively I can see that the psABI was changed in GCC 3.5 with commit e5e10fb4a350 ("re PR target/14539 (128-bit long double improperly aligned)") back in Mar 2004, when the stack pointer alignment was increased from 8 bytes to 16 bytes, and arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S has various suspicious stack pointer adjustments, starting with SP_OFF which is not a whole multiple of 16. Also, as Magnus noted, "ALPHA Calling Standard" [2] required the same: D.3.1 Stack Alignment This standard requires that stacks be octaword aligned at the time a new procedure is invoked. However: - the "normal" kernel stack is always misaligned by 8 bytes, thanks to the odd number of 64-bit words in 'struct pt_regs', which is the very first thing pushed onto the kernel thread stack; - syscall, fault, interrupt etc. handlers may, or may not, receive aligned stack depending on numerous factors. Somehow we got away with it until recently, when we ended up with a stack corruption in kernel/smp.c:smp_call_function_single() due to its use of 32-byte aligned local data and the compiler doing clever things allocating it on the stack. This adds padding between the PAL-saved and kernel-saved registers so that 'struct pt_regs' have an even number of 64-bit words. This makes the stack properly aligned for most of the kernel code, except two handlers which need special threatment. Note: struct pt_regs doesn't belong in uapi/asm; this should be fixed, but let's put this off until later.

alpha: remove __init annotation from exported page_is_ram()

2023-08-16T16:22:03Z

commit 6ccbd7fd474674654019a20177c943359469103a upstream. EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Commit c5a130325f13 ("ACPI/APEI: Add parameter check before error injection") exported page_is_ram(), hence the __init annotation should be removed. This fixes the modpost warning in ARCH=alpha builds: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: page_is_ram: EXPORT_SYMBOL used for init symbol. Remove __init or EXPORT_SYMBOL.

alpha: fix R_ALPHA_LITERAL reloc for large modules

2023-03-17T07:49:01Z

[ Upstream commit b6b17a8b3ecd878d98d5472a9023ede9e669ca72 ] Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel modules. This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of range. This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got, although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.

genirq: Add and use an irq_data_update_affinity helper

2023-03-11T12:57:31Z

[ Upstream commit 073352e951f60946452da358d64841066c3142ff ] Some architectures and irqchip drivers modify the cpumask returned by irq_data_get_affinity_mask, usually by copying in to it. This is problematic for uniprocessor configurations, where the affinity mask should be constant, as it is known at compile time. Add and use a setter for the affinity mask, following the pattern of irq_data_update_effective_affinity. This allows the getter function to return a const cpumask pointer.

alpha: fix FEN fault handling

2023-03-10T08:40:08Z

commit 977a3009547dad4a5bc95d91be4a58c9f7eedac0 upstream. Type 3 instruction fault (FPU insn with FPU disabled) is handled by quietly enabling FPU and returning. Which is fine, except that we need to do that both for fault in userland and in the kernel; the latter *can* legitimately happen - all it takes is this: .global _start _start: call_pal 0xae lda $0, 0 ldq $0, 0($0) - call_pal CLRFEN to clear "FPU enabled" flag and arrange for a signal delivery (SIGSEGV in this case). Fixed by moving the handling of type 3 into the common part of do_entIF(), before we check for kernel vs. user mode. Incidentally, the check for kernel mode is unidiomatic; the normal way to do that is !user_mode(regs). The difference is that the open-coded variant treats any of bits 63..3 of regs->ps being set as "it's user mode" while the normal approach is to check just the bit 3. PS is a 4-bit register and regs->ps always will have bits 63..4 clear, so the open-coded variant here is actually equivalent to !user_mode(regs). Harder to follow, though...
