lib/raid6/test/Makefile: Use $(pound) instead of \# for Make 4.3

2022-04-08T12:23:56Z

[ Upstream commit 633174a7046ec3b4572bec24ef98e6ee89bce14b ] Buidling raid6test on Ubuntu 21.10 (ppc64le) with GNU Make 4.3 shows the errors below: $ cd lib/raid6/test/ $ make :1:1: error: stray ‘\’ in program :1:2: error: stray ‘#’ in program :1:11: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ \ before ‘<’ token [...] The errors come from the HAS_ALTIVEC test, which fails, and the POWER optimized versions are not built. That’s also reason nobody noticed on the other architectures. GNU Make 4.3 does not remove the backslash anymore. From the 4.3 release announcment: > * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! > Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation > no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes: > thus a call such as: > foo := $(shell echo '#') > is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example: > foo := $(shell echo '\#') > Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles > portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable: > H := \# > foo := $(shell echo '$H') > This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason. > To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable. So, do the same as commit 9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make") and commit 929bef467771 ("bpf: Use $(pound) instead of \# in Makefiles") and define and use a $(pound) variable.

lib/raid6/test: fix multiple definition linking error

2022-04-08T12:23:01Z

commit a5359ddd052860bacf957e65fe819c63e974b3a6 upstream. GCC 10+ defaults to -fno-common, which enforces proper declaration of external references using "extern". without this change a link would fail with: lib/raid6/test/algos.c:28: multiple definition of `raid6_call'; lib/raid6/test/test.c:22: first defined here the pq.h header that is included already includes an extern declaration so we can just remove the redundant one here.

lib/raid6: Let $(UNROLL) rules work with macOS userland

2021-01-04T01:38:11Z

Older versions of BSD awk are fussy about the order of '-v' and '-f' flags, and require a space after the flag name. This causes build failures on platforms with an old awk, such as macOS and NetBSD. Since GNU awk and modern versions of BSD awk (distributed with FreeBSD/OpenBSD) are fine with either form, the definition of 'cmd_unroll' can be trivially tweaked to let the lib/raid6 Makefile work with both old and new awk flag dialects.

x86: update AS_* macros to binutils >=2.23, supporting ADX and AVX2

2020-04-08T15:12:48Z

Now that the kernel specifies binutils 2.23 as the minimum version, we can remove ifdefs for AVX2 and ADX throughout. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

x86: remove always-defined CONFIG_AS_SSSE3

2020-04-08T15:01:59Z

CONFIG_AS_SSSE3 was introduced by commit 75aaf4c3e6a4 ("x86/raid6: correctly check for assembler capabilities"). We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time. The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5ff ("kbuild: Raise the minimum required binutils version to 2.21"). I confirmed the code in $(call as-instr,...) can be assembled by the binutils 2.21 assembler and also by LLVM integrated assembler. Remove CONFIG_AS_SSSE3, which is always defined. I added ifdef CONFIG_X86 to lib/raid6/algos.c to avoid link errors on non-x86 architectures. lib/raid6/algos.c is built not only for the kernel but also for testing the library code from userspace. I added -DCONFIG_X86 to lib/raid6/test/Makefile to cator to this usecase. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Acked-by: Ingo Molnar

lib/raid6/test: fix build on distros whose /bin/sh is not bash

2020-04-08T15:01:58Z

You can build a user-space test program for the raid6 library code, like this: $ cd lib/raid6/test $ make The command in $(shell ...) function is evaluated by /bin/sh by default. (or, you can specify the shell by passing SHELL= from command line) Currently '>&/dev/null' is used to sink both stdout and stderr. Because this code is bash-ism, it only works when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to bash (this is the case on RHEL etc.) This does not work on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash. I see lots of /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number and warning "your version of binutils lacks ... support" Replace it with portable '>/dev/null 2>&1'.

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07Z

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004. It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration. This commit renames like follows: always -> always-y hostprogs-y -> hostprogs So, scripts/Makefile will look like this: always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ... always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ... ... hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m) I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier. The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward compatibility for a while.

md/raid6: fix algorithm choice under larger PAGE_SIZE

2020-01-13T19:44:09Z

There are several algorithms available for raid6 to generate xor and syndrome parity, including basic int1, int2 ... int32 and SIMD optimized implementation like sse and neon. To test and choose the best algorithms at the initial stage, we need provide enough disk data to feed the algorithms. However, the disk number we provided depends on page size and gfmul table, seeing bellow: const int disks = (65536/PAGE_SIZE) + 2; So when come to 64K PAGE_SIZE, there is only one data disk plus 2 parity disk, as a result the chosed algorithm is not reliable. For example, on my arm64 machine with 64K page enabled, it will choose intx32 as the best one, although the NEON implementation is better. This patch tries to fix the problem by defining a constant raid6 disk number to supporting arbitrary page size. Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Zhengyuan Liu Signed-off-by: Song Liu
