ARM: module: implement support for PC-relative group relocations

2021-12-06T11:49:16Z

Add support for the R_ARM_ALU_PC_Gn_NC and R_ARM_LDR_PC_G2 group relocations [0] so we can use them in modules. These will be used to load the current task pointer from a global variable without having to rely on a literal pool entry to carry the address of this variable, which may have a significant negative impact on cache utilization for variables that are used often and in many different places, as each occurrence will result in a literal pool entry and therefore a line in the D-cache.

ARM: module: add support for place relative relocations

2020-10-28T15:59:43Z

When using the new adr_l/ldr_l/str_l macros to refer to external symbols from modules, the linker may emit place relative ELF relocations that need to be fixed up by the module loader. So add support for these. Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

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

arm_elf_read_implies_exec(): remove unused argument

2017-09-10T23:31:46Z

The first argument to elf_read_implies_exec() is either the actual header structure or a pointer to that structure whether one looks at fs/binfmt_elf.c or fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c. This ought to be fixed of course, but in the mean time let's sidestep the issue by removing that first argument from arm_elf_read_implies_exec() as it is unused anyway.

arm: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4MB

2017-07-10T23:32:36Z

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions. 4MB is chosen here mainly to have parity with x86, where this is the traditional minimum load location, likely to avoid historically requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB would be used (since the NULL address is avoided). For ARM the position could be 0x8000, the standard ET_EXEC load address, but that is needlessly close to the NULL address, and anyone running PIE on 32-bit ARM will have an MMU, so the tight mapping is not needed.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King: "Included in this update are both some long term fixes and some new features. Fixes: - An integer overflow in the calculation of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. - Avoiding OOMs for high-order IOMMU allocations - SMP requires the data cache to be enabled for synchronisation primitives to work, so prevent the CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE option being visible on SMP builds. - A bug going back 10+ years in the noMMU ARM94* CPU support code, where it corrupts registers. Found by folk getting Linux running on their cameras. - Versatile Express needs an errata workaround enabled for CPU hot-unplug to work. Features: - Clean up module linker by handling out of range relocations separately from relocation cases we don't handle. - Fix a long term bug in the pci_mmap_page_range() code, which we hope won't impact userspace (we hope there's no users of the existing broken interface.) - Don't map DMA coherent allocations when we don't have a MMU. - Drop experimental status for SMP_ON_UP. - Warn when DT doesn't specify ePAPR mandatory cache properties. - Add documentation concerning how we find the start of physical memory for AUTO_ZRELADDR kernels, detailing why we have chosen the mask and the implications of changing it. - Updates from Ard Biesheuvel to address some issues with large kernels (such as allyesconfig) failing to link. - Allow hibernation to work on modern (ARMv7) CPUs - this appears to have never worked in the past on these CPUs. - Enable IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL, which changes the /proc/interrupts output format (hopefully without userspace breaking... let's hope that if it causes someone a problem, they tell us.) - Fix tegra-ahb DT offsets. - Rework ARM errata 643719 code (and ARMv7 flush_cache_louis()/ flush_dcache_all()) code to be more efficient, and enable this errata workaround by default for ARMv7+SMP CPUs. This complements the Versatile Express fix above. - Rework ARMv7 context code for errata 430973, so that only Cortex A8 CPUs are impacted by the branch target buffer flush when this errata is enabled. Also update the help text to indicate that all r1p* A8 CPUs are impacted. - Switch ARM to the generic show_mem() implementation, it conveys all the information which we were already reporting. - Prevent slow timer sources being used for udelay() - timers running at less than 1MHz are not useful for this, and can cause udelay() to return immediately, without any wait. Using such a slow timer is silly. - VDSO support for 32-bit ARM, mainly for gettimeofday() using the ARM architected timer. - Perf support for Scorpion performance monitoring units" vdso semantic conflict fixed up as per linux-next. * 'for-linus' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: (52 commits) ARM: update errata 430973 documentation to cover Cortex A8 r1p* ARM: ensure delay timer has sufficient accuracy for delays ARM: switch to use the generic show_mem() implementation ARM: proc-v7: avoid errata 430973 workaround for non-Cortex A8 CPUs ARM: enable ARM errata 643719 workaround by default ARM: cache-v7: optimise test for Cortex A9 r0pX devices ARM: cache-v7: optimise branches in v7_flush_cache_louis ARM: cache-v7: consolidate initialisation of cache level index ARM: cache-v7: shift CLIDR to extract appropriate field before masking ARM: cache-v7: use movw/movt instructions ARM: allow 16-bit instructions in ALT_UP() ARM: proc-arm94*.S: fix setup function ARM: vexpress: fix CPU hotplug with CT9x4 tile.
