mtd: cfi: convert inline functions to macros

2018-02-16T19:22:56Z

commit 9e343e87d2c4c707ef8fae2844864d4dde3a2d13 upstream. The map_word_() functions, dating back to linux-2.6.8, try to perform bitwise operations on a 'map_word' structure. This may have worked with compilers that were current then (gcc-3.4 or earlier), but end up being rather inefficient on any version I could try now (gcc-4.4 or higher). Specifically we hit a problem analyzed in gcc PR81715 where we fail to reuse the stack space for local variables. This can be seen immediately in the stack consumption for cfi_staa_erase_varsize() and other functions that (with CONFIG_KASAN) can be up to 2200 bytes. Changing the inline functions into macros brings this down to 1280 bytes. Without KASAN, the same problem exists, but the stack consumption is lower to start with, my patch shrinks it from 920 to 496 bytes on with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-5.4, and saves around 1KB in .text size for cfi_cmdset_0020.c, as it avoids copying map_word structures for each call to one of these helpers. With the latest gcc-8 snapshot, the problem is fixed in upstream gcc, but nobody uses that yet, so we should still work around it in mainline kernels and probably backport the workaround to stable kernels as well. We had a couple of other functions that suffered from the same gcc bug, and all of those had a simpler workaround involving dummy variables in the inline function. Unfortunately that did not work here, the macro hack was the best I could come up with. It would also be helpful to have someone to a little performance testing on the patch, to see how much it helps in terms of CPU utilitzation.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mtd: nand: sharpsl: Add partition parsers platform data

2017-08-23T14:49:32Z

With the introduction of sharpslpart partition parser we can now read the offsets from NAND: we specify the list of the parsers as platform data, with cmdlinepart and ofpart parsers first allowing to override the part. table written in NAND. This is done in the board files using this driver. Thus, we need to extend sharpsl_nand_platform_data to consider the partition parsers. Signed-off-by: Andrea Adami Signed-off-by: Boris Brezillon

mtd: only use __xipram annotation when XIP_KERNEL is set

2017-08-15T12:00:44Z

When XIP_KERNEL is enabled, some functions are defined in the .data ELF section because we require them to be in RAM whenever we communicate with the flash chip. However this causes problems when FTRACE is enabled and gcc emits calls to __gnu_mcount_nc in the function prolog: drivers/built-in.o: In function `cfi_chip_setup': :(.data+0x272fc): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o drivers/built-in.o: In function `cfi_probe_chip': :(.data+0x27de8): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_CALL against symbol `__gnu_mcount_nc' defined in .text section in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o /tmp/ccY172rP.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccY172rP.s:70: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data /tmp/ccY172rP.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_probe.o] Error 1 /tmp/ccK4rjeO.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccK4rjeO.s:421: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data /tmp/ccK4rjeO.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors make[5]: *** [drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_util.o] Error 1 /tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccUvhCYR.s:1895: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data /tmp/ccUvhCYR.s: Error: 1 warning, treating warnings as errors Specifically, this does not work because the .data section is not marked executable, which leads LD to not generate trampolines for long calls. This moves the __xipram functions into their own .xiptext section instead. The section is still placed next to .data and located in RAM but is marked executable, which avoids the build errors. Also, we only need to place the XIP functions into a separate section if both CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL and CONFIG_MTD_XIP are set: When only MTD_XIP is used, the whole kernel is still in RAM and we do not need to worry about pulling out the rug under it. When only XIP_KERNEL but not MTD_XIP is set, the kernel is in some form of ROM, but we never write to it. Note that MTD_XIP has been broken on ARM since around 2011 or 2012. I have sent another patch[2] to fix compilation, which I plan to merge through arm-soc unless there are objections. The obvious alternative to that would be to completely rip out the MTD_XIP support from the kernel, since obviously nobody has been using it in a long while.
