2023-02-22	riscv: jump_label: Fixup unaligned arch_static_branch function	Andy Chiu	1	-0/+2
	Runtime code patching must be done at a naturally aligned address, or we may execute on a partial instruction. We have encountered problems traced back to static jump functions during the test. We switched the tracer randomly for every 1~5 seconds on a dual-core QEMU setup and found the kernel sucking at a static branch where it jumps to itself. The reason is that the static branch was 2-byte but not 4-byte aligned. Then, the kernel would patch the instruction, either J or NOP, with two half-word stores if the machine does not have efficient unaligned accesses. Thus, moments exist where half of the NOP mixes with the other half of the J when transitioning the branch. In our particular case, on a little-endian machine, the upper half of the NOP was mixed with the lower part of the J when enabling the branch, resulting in a jump that jumped to itself. Conversely, it would result in a HINT instruction when disabling the branch, but it might not be observable. ARM64 does not have this problem since all instructions must be 4-byte aligned.

2022-10-26	riscv: jump_label: mark arguments as const to satisfy asm constraints	Jisheng Zhang	1	-4/+4
	Samuel reported that the static branch usage in cpu_relax() breaks building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE: In file included from <command-line>: ./arch/riscv/include/asm/jump_label.h: In function 'cpu_relax': ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:285:33: warning: 'asm' operand 0 probably does not match constraints 285 \| #define asm_volatile_goto(x...) asm goto(x) \| ^~~ ./arch/riscv/include/asm/jump_label.h:41:9: note: in expansion of macro 'asm_volatile_goto' 41 \| asm_volatile_goto( \| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:285:33: error: impossible constraint in 'asm' 285 \| #define asm_volatile_goto(x...) asm goto(x) \| ^~~ ./arch/riscv/include/asm/jump_label.h:41:9: note: in expansion of macro 'asm_volatile_goto' 41 \| asm_volatile_goto( \| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make[1]: * [scripts/Makefile.build:249: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o] Error 1 make: * [arch/riscv/Makefile:128: vdso_prepare] Error 2 Maybe "-Os" prevents GCC from detecting that the key/branch arguments can be treated as constants and used as immediate operands. Inspired by x86's commit 864b435514b2("x86/jump_label: Mark arguments as const to satisfy asm constraints"), and as pointed out by Steven: "The "i" constraint needs to be a constant.", let's do similar modifications to riscv. Tested by CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE + gcc and CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE + clang.
