kasan, powerpc: don't rename memintrinsics if compiler adds prefixes With appropriate compiler support [1], KASAN builds use __asan prefixed meminstrinsics, and KASAN no longer overrides memcpy/memset/memmove. If compiler support is detected (CC_HAS_KASAN_MEMINTRINSIC_PREFIX), define memintrinsics normally (do not prefix '__'). On powerpc, KASAN is the only user of __mem functions, which are used to define instrumented memintrinsics. Alias the normal versions for KASAN to use in its implementation.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}() In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

powerpc/memcpy: Add memcpy_mcsafe for pmem The pmem infrastructure uses memcpy_mcsafe in the pmem layer so as to convert machine check exceptions into a return value on failure in case a machine check exception is encountered during the memcpy. The return value is the number of bytes remaining to be copied. This patch largely borrows from the copyuser_power7 logic and does not add the VMX optimizations, largely to keep the patch simple. If needed those optimizations can be folded in.

powerpc: prepare string/mem functions for KASAN CONFIG_KASAN implements wrappers for memcpy() memmove() and memset() Those wrappers are doing the verification then call respectively __memcpy() __memmove() and __memset(). The arches are therefore expected to rename their optimised functions that way. For files on which KASAN is inhibited, #defines are used to allow them to directly call optimised versions of the functions without going through the KASAN wrappers. See commit 393f203f5fd5 ("x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions") for details. Other string / mem functions do not (yet) have kasan wrappers, we therefore have to fallback to the generic versions when KASAN is active, otherwise KASAN checks will be skipped.

powerpc/lib: Implement strlen() in assembly for PPC32 The generic implementation of strlen() reads strings byte per byte. This patch implements strlen() in assembly based on a read of entire words, in the same spirit as what some other arches and glibc do. On a 8xx the time spent in strlen is reduced by 3/4 for long strings. strlen() selftest on an 8xx provides the following values: Before the patch (ie with the generic strlen() in lib/string.c): len 256 : time = 1.195055 len 016 : time = 0.083745 len 008 : time = 0.046828 len 004 : time = 0.028390 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.272185 ==> 78% improvment len 016 : time = 0.040632 ==> 51% improvment len 008 : time = 0.033060 ==> 29% improvment len 004 : time = 0.029149 ==> 2% degradation On a 832x: Before the patch: len 256 : time = 0.236125 len 016 : time = 0.018136 len 008 : time = 0.011000 len 004 : time = 0.007229 After the patch: len 256 : time = 0.094950 ==> 60% improvment len 016 : time = 0.013357 ==> 26% improvment len 008 : time = 0.010586 ==> 4% improvment len 004 : time = 0.008784 Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

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

powerpc/32: add memset16() Commit 694fc88ce271f ("powerpc/string: Implement optimized memset variants") added memset16(), memset32() and memset64() for the 64 bits PPC. On 32 bits, memset64() is not relevant, and as shown below, the generic version of memset32() gives a good code, so only memset16() is candidate for an optimised version. 000009c0 <memset32>: 9c0: 2c 05 00 00 cmpwi r5,0 9c4: 39 23 ff fc addi r9,r3,-4 9c8: 4d 82 00 20 beqlr 9cc: 7c a9 03 a6 mtctr r5 9d0: 94 89 00 04 stwu r4,4(r9) 9d4: 42 00 ff fc bdnz 9d0 <memset32+0x10> 9d8: 4e 80 00 20 blr The last part of memset() handling the not 4-bytes multiples operates on bytes, making it unsuitable for handling word without modification. As it would increase memset() complexity, it is better to implement memset16() from scratch. In addition it has the advantage of allowing a more optimised memset16() than what we would have by using the memset() function.

powerpc: memcpy optimization for 64bit LE Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian. This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores. Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops (which are already endian safe). The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is. Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for all other 64bit platforms.
