From ec6347bb43395cb92126788a1a5b25302543f815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2020 20:40:16 -0700 Subject: 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 wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams 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.
