This is a respin of a patch series from about a year ago[1]. I realized
that we already had most of the code in recordmcount to figure out
where we make calls to particular functions, so recording where
we make calls to the integer division functions should be easy enough
to add support for in the same codepaths. Looking back on the thread
it seems like Mans was thinking along the same lines, although it wasn't
obvious to me back then or even over the last few days when I wrote this.
This series extends recordmcount to record the locations of the calls
to the library functions on ARM builds, and puts those locations into a
table that we use to patch instructions at boot. The first two patches
are the recordmcount changes, while the last patch implements the runtime
patching for modules and kernel code. The module part also hooks into the
relocation patching code we already have.
The RFC tag is because I'm thinking of splitting the recordmcount changes
into a new program based on recordmcount so that we don't drag in a lot
of corner cases and stuff when we don't need to. I suspect it will be
cleaner that way too. Does anyone prefer one way or the other?
Comments/feedback appreciated.

In the next patch we're going to modify recordmcount to also
record locations of calls to __aeabi_{u}idiv(). Lay the
groundwork for this by adding a flag to recordmcount that
indicates if we're expected to find calls to mcount or not.

The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_uidiv() and
__aeabi_idiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the udiv and
sdiv division instructions the calls to these support routines
can be replaced with those instructions. Therefore, record the
location of calls to these library functions into two sections
(one for udiv and one for sdiv) similar to how we trace calls to
mcount. When the kernel boots up it will check to see if the
processor supports the instructions and then patch the call sites
with the instruction.

The ARM compiler inserts calls to __aeabi_uidiv() and
__aeabi_idiv() when it needs to perform division on signed and
unsigned integers. If a processor has support for the udiv and
sdiv division instructions the calls to these support routines
can be replaced with those instructions. Now that recordmcount
records the locations of calls to these library functions in
two sections (one for udiv and one for sdiv), iterate over these
sections early at boot and patch the call sites with the
appropriate division instruction when we determine that the
processor supports the division instructions. Using the division
instructions should be faster and less power intensive than
running the support code.

Oh, it's this which has been spewing that silly
"warning: __mcount_loc already exists"
message thousands of times in my nightly kernel builds (so much so, that
I've had to filter the thing out of the logs.) Given that this is soo
noisy, I think first we need to get to the bottom of why this program is
soo noisy before we try to make it more functional.
I had assumed that this message was produced by something in the
toolchain, not something in the kernel.

These functions are rather similar. Perhaps they could be combined

Shouldn't we start by allowing to build the kernel for -march=armv7ve
on platforms that allow it? That would seem like a simpler change
and likely generate better code for most people, except when you actually
care about running the same binary kernel on older platforms.
I tried to get a complete list of CPU cores with idiv, lpae and
virtualization support at some point, but I don't remember the
details for all Qualcomm and Marvell cores any more, to create the
complete configuration matrix. IIRC, all CPUs that support
virtualization also do lpae (they have to) and all CPUs that
do lpae also do idiv, but the opposite is not true.

The ARM ARM says anything with virt has idiv, lpae doesn't matter. ARMv7-R also has idiv. I've no idea if anyone runs Linux on those though.

Ok, and anything with virt also has lpae by definition. The question is
whether we care about using idiv on cores that do not have lpae, or that
have neither lpae nor virt.
We have a related problem at the moment where we don't handle configuration
of lpae correctly in Kconfig: you can simply turn that on for any
ARMv7-only kernel, but it breaks running on Cortex-A8, Cortex-A9
and at least some subset of PJ4/Scorpion/Krait (not sure which).
If we add a way to configure idiv support, we should do it right and
handle lpae correctly too. If we are lucky, each CPU we support
either has both or neither, and then we just need one additional
Kconfig option. We don't need another option for virt, because KVM
support can be handled in a way that it doesn't break on cores with
lpae but without virt (it requires lpae).
> ARMv7-R also has idiv. I've no idea if anyone runs Linux on those though.
Not mainline at least. There were patches at some point, but they
never got merged.

The question is, are there any such cores? GCC doesn't know of any, but
then it's missing most non-ARM designs.

Exactly. Stephen should be able to find out about the Qualcomm cores,
and http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/426289 has
some information about the others:
* Brahma-B15 supports all three.
* Dove (PJ4) reports idiv only in thumb mode, which I'm tempted to ignore
for the kernel, as it supports neither lpae nor idiva.
* Armada 370/XP (PJ4B) reports support for idiva and idivt, but according to
https://groups.google.com/a/dartlang.org/forum/#!topic/reviews/9wvsJvq0YYY
that may be a lie.
* According to the same source, Krait fails to report idiva and idivt,
but supports both anyway. However, I found reports on the web where
/proc/cpuinfo correctly contains the flags on the same SoC (APQ8064)
that was mentioned there, so maybe they were just running an old
kernel.

This has some more information:
commit 120ecfafabec382c4feb79ff159ef42a39b6d33b

ARM: 7678/1: Work around faulty ISAR0 register in some Krait CPUs
Some early versions of the Krait CPU design incorrectly indicate
that they only support the UDIV and SDIV instructions in Thumb
mode when they actually support them in ARM and Thumb mode. It
seems that these CPUs follow the DDI0406B ARM ARM which has two
possible values for the divide instructions field, instead of the
DDI0406C document which has three possible values.
Work around this problem by checking the MIDR against Krait CPUs
with this faulty ISAR0 register and force the hwcaps to indicate
support in both modes.

we autodetect udiv/sdiv]

so Krait clearly supports them, and this also explains why some
machines misreport it depending on the CPU version and kernel
release running on it.
Regarding PJ4, it's still unclear whether that has the same
problem and it only reports idivt when it actually supports idiva,
or whether the lack of idiva support on PJ4 is instead the reason
why the ARM ARM was updated to have separate flags.

SDIV/IDIV were originally introduced for R and M profile only
and there the Thumb encodings of SDIV/IDIV are mandatory
whereas the ARM ones are optional (and weren't initially
defined at all). So if you're looking for CPUs with only the
Thumb encodings I would try checking older R profile cores
like the Cortex-R4.

The question is really about Marvell Dove, MMP and Armada 370,
which are all based on PJ4 or PJ4B (CPU part : 0x581), so ARMv7-A
and report idivt support but idiva.
There are a couple of explanations here:
a) Marvell really implemented only idivt but not idiva
and reports it correctly, and the people from
https://groups.google.com/a/dartlang.org/forum/#!topic/reviews/9wvsJvq0YYY
just misinterpreted the flags
b) the dartlag.org folks are correct, and it supports neither
idivt nor idiva, and the /proc/cpuinfo flag is just wrong
and requires a fixup
c) like Krait, it actually implements both idiva and idivt but
gets the reporting wrong.

It's trivial to test for someone who has one.

Well, it's pretty hard to test when binutils blocks your ability to
write assembly using the instructions.

That's binutils 2.24 and gcc 4.8.4 as found on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm
sorry, but I don't have spare time to work out what the opcodes
would be.

does it work with -mcpu=cortex-a15? I've tried crosstool as versions
2.23.52.20130913, 2.24.0.20141017 and 2.25.51.20150518, and they
all seem to behave as expected, failing with -mcpu=cortex-a9 and
marvell-pj4 but succeeding with -mcpu=cortex-a15 or marvell-pj4+idiv.
I've also found some /proc/cpuinfo output to cross-reference SoCs
to their core names.

Your compiler seems to default to thumb so you should add -marm.

I just managed to boot my dusty Dove DB and ran a quick test programon

printf("%d\n", mydiv(12345678, 37));
return 0;
}

Ok, thanks a lot! So the reporting in /proc/cpuinfo clearly matches
the actual features, and we can just treat this as no LPAE / no IDIV
for kernel compilation, as nobody ever seems to use THUMB2_KERNEL
in practice.
PJ4-MP is like Cortex-A15/A7/A12/A17 and supports both IDIV and LPAE,
which leaves the question whether Scorpion or Krait do the same as
well, or whether they are outliers and need a special configuration.

LPAE is only supported in the Krait 450.

I'm pretty sure idiv support came earlier, but I don't have the
specifics on hand.

I have seen that article, but didn't trust it as a canonical
source of information here.
If you can confirm that it's right, that would mean that we
don't support LPAE on mach-qcom, as the only SoC with Krait 450
seems to be APQ8084, and mainline Linux doesn't run on that.
The ones we do support are MSM8x60 (Scorpion), MSM8960
(Krait-without-number),and MSM7874 (Krait 400). Do those all
support IDIV but not LPAE?

arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-apq8084.dtsi exists in the mainline
kernel. We support more than what's in the Kconfig language
under mach-qcom. And yes LPAE is supported by apq8084 (as is
IDIV). Here's the /proc/cpuinfo on that device.

Yes. I have this patch on top, just haven't folded it in because
it doesn't reduce the lines of code.

This comment in recordmcount.pl may tell us something.
#

I don't think there's much that can be done here besides making
it silent unless there's some verbose build flag set (-v?), but
it is interesting that you see it spew thousands of times. I've
never seen the error printed, but perhaps I'm not building the
kernel the same way you are. Care to share how you're building
and seeing these error messages?

I don't see any reason to split it anyhow. The end result isn't any
harder to understand than the intermediate.

I believe I hit this by hitting ctrl-C during a build and then starting
it again. It's been a while so it could have been something else.

All I get is this:
warning: __mcount_loc already exists: arch/arm/mm/mmap.o
Not the "ERROR: ... already in ..." that the above would give.
Nothing special. It's a seeded allyesconfig built with:
$ make -k -j2 zImage modules dtbs LOADADDR=0x60008000 CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y O=/path/to/build/dir

That's because I copied from the perl version of recordmcount.
The C version of this tool doesn't have that nice comment.

Thanks. I don't see the prints on my system even with this config

Ok, cool. I'm sometimes confused by the model numbers, could you
do a separate patch to update the Kconfig help text?

Ok, that leaves just one missing puzzle piece: can you confirm that
no supported Krait variant other than Krait 450 / apq8084 has LPAE?

What did you have in mind? I'm also confused by the model numbers
so I don't know how helpful I will be.
It would be nice to drop the ARCH_MSM* configs entirely. If we
could select the right timers from kconfig without using selects
then we could drop them. Or we could just select both types of
timers when building qcom platforms.

Right, apq8084 is the only SoC with a Krait CPU that supports
LPAE.

Hmm.
It could be because I use ccache in hardlink mode to avoid the disk
overhead of having two copies and having to duplicate the file
contents.
If the kernel build thinks it can modify an object file in place, it
will lead to this, as it will end up modifying the stored ccache
file unless it specifically breaks the hardlink.

Ok, dropping the specific Kconfig entries is actually an awesome
idea, as it completely solves the other problem as well, more on
that below.
In that case, don't worry about listing all the models, once
we stop listing a subset of them, the confusion is already
reduced by the fact that one has to look at the .dts files
so see which models we support, and I assume there will be
additional ones coming in for at least a few more years (before
you stop caring about 32-bit MSM and compatibles).
Regarding the timers:
HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER is already user-selectable, so maybe something

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.
Summarizing what we've found, I think we can get away with just
introducing two Kconfig symbols ARCH_MULTI_V7VE and CPU_V7VE.
Most CPUs fall clearly into one category or the other, and then
we can allow LPAE to be selected for V7VE-only build but not
for plain V7, and we can unconditionally build the kernel with
arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v7VE) = -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=7 $(call cc-option,-march=armv7ve,-march=armv7-a -mcpu=cortex-a15)
This works perfectly for Cortex-A5, -A8, -A9, -A12, -A15, -A17, Brahma-B15,
PJ4B-MP, Scorpion and Krait-450, which all clearly fall into one of
the two other categories.
The two exceptions that don't quite fit are still "good enough":
- PJ4/PJ4B (not PJ4B-MP) has a different custom opcode for udiv and sdiv
in ARM mode. We don't support that with true multiplatform kernels
because those opcodes work nowhere else, though with your proposed
series we could easily do that for dynamic patching.
- Krait (pre-450) won't run kernels with LPAE disabled, but if we only
have one global ARCH_QCOM option that can be enabled for both
ARCH_MULTI_V7VE and ARCH_MULTI_V7, we still win: a mach-qcom
kernel with only ARCH_MULTI_V7VE will use IDIV by default, and
give you the option to enable LPAE. If you pick LPAE, it will
still work fine on Krait-450 but not the older ones, and that is
a user error. If you enable ARCH_MULTI_V7 / CPU_V7, you get neither
LPAE nor IDIV, and the kernel will be able to run on both Scorpion
and Krait, as long as you have the right drivers too.

Yeah I think that architected timers are an outlier. I recall
some words from John Stultz that platforms should select the
clocksources they use, but maybe things have changed. For this
kind of thing I wouldn't mind putting it in the defconfig though.
I'll put the patches on the list to get the discussion started.

Do you have the information on these custom opcodes? I can work
that into the patches assuming the MIDR is different.

So if I have built mach-qcom with ARCH_MULTI_V7VE won't I get a
kernel that uses idiv instructions that could be run on Scorpion,
where the instruction doesn't exist? Or is that a user error
again like picking LPAE?
It seems fine to me to go ahead with this approach. Should I take
care of cooking up the patches? I can package this all up into a
series that adds the new CPU type, updates the affected
platforms, and layers the runtime patching on top when plain V7
is a selected CPU type.

This causes compiler spew for me:
warning: switch -mcpu=cortex-a15 conflicts with -march=armv7-a switch
Removing -march=armv7-a from there makes it quiet.
Also, it's sort of feels wrong to have -mcpu in a place where
we're exclusively doing -march. Perhaps the fallback should be
bog standard -march=armv7-a? (or the fallback for that one
"-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv7-a")?

That sounds very possible. I'd have to get ccache setup with
hardlinks to test out your theory.
Is it supported to use ccache with hardlinks to build the kernel?
The ccache documentation makes it sounds like it will confuse
make and isn't a good idea.

And adding CPU_V7VE causes a cascade of changes to wherever
CPU_V7 is being used today. Here's the patch I currently have,
without the platform changes:

Thomas Petazzoni said this in a private mail:

I assume what he meant was that this is true for both PJ4 and PJ4B
but not for PJ4B-MP, which has the normal udiv/sdiv instructions.
IOW, anything with CPU implementer 0x56 part 0x581 should use those,
while part 0x584 can use the sdiv/udiv that it reports correctly.

Right. If you want to run on Scorpion, you have to select ARCH_MULTI_V7.
If both are set, we should build with -march=armv7-a and not use
the idiv instructions.

That would be nice, yes.

How it was explained to me years ago is that -march selects the
instruction set, -mtune selects the instruction scheduling, and -mcpu
selects both.

I suggested using -mcpu=cortex-a15 because there are old gcc versions
that don't know about -march=armv7ve or -march=armv7-a+idiv yet, but
that do understand -mcpu=cortex-a15. I might be misremembering the
exact options we want though, and we could now just decided that if
your gcc is too old, you get no idiv even if it supports that on
Cortex-A15.

Thanks a lot for looking into this. I think we can simplify a couple

multi-cluster and big.little are also V7VE-only by definition,

This is also V7VE-only. The !CPU_V6 check is there to avoid a compile-time

Not sure about this one. It's strictly speaking for V7-R, and we don't have

We already have 'depends on ARM_VIRT_EXT' here. I guess we should instead
add the dependency on CPU_V7VE there.

This looks wrong, we have to ensure at least that CPU_32v6 and CPU_32v7
are not set, though we can get rid of the v5/v4/v3 checks.

Pretty sure that these only work with ARMv7VE capable cores, the older ones only
have one cluster.

NAK on all this. The fact that you're having to add CPU_V7VE at all
sites which have CPU_V7 shows that this is a totally broken way of
approaching this.
Make CPU_V7VE be an _add-on_ to CPU_V7. In other words, when CPU_V7VE
is enabled, CPU_V7 should also be enabled, just like we do for CPU_V6K.
Note that v7M is different because that's not an add-on feature, it's
a different CPU class from (what should be) v7A.

That's not all. The bigger problem is that there are toolchains out
there which accept these options, but do _not_ support IDIV in either
ARM or Thumb mode. I'm afraid that makes it impossible to add this
feature to the mainline kernel in this form: we need to run a test
build to check that -march=armv7ve or what-not really does work
through both GCC and GAS.
Given that Ubuntu 14.04 LTS suffers with this, it's something that
must be resolved.

If the compiler accepts the option but doesn't actually emit any div
instructions, is there any real harm?

Or we could simply ignore those and they'd be no worse off than they are

That's not what I've found. I've found that asking the assembler
to accept idiv instructions appears to be ignored, which is something
completely different.
Further to this, what it comes down to is the stupid idea that the
compiler should embed .arch / .cpu in the assembly output, which has
the effect of overriding the command line arguments given to it via
-Wa. So, giving -Wa,-mcpu=cortex-a15 is a total no-op, because the
first thing in the assembly output is:
.arch armv7-a
which kills off any attempt to set the assembly level ISA from the
command line.
It does appear after all that Ubuntu 14.04 does support sdiv/idiv with
-mcpu=cortex-a15, but there is no -march=armv7ve.

Oh, you mean the compiler knows about the instructions but the assembler
doesn't or isn't passed the right options. It's infuriating when that
happens.

Well, if we add all the infrastructure to do dynamic patching, we
might as well use it here, that is a very little extra effort.
I'm not convinced that the dynamic patching for idiv is actually needed
but I'm not objecting either, and Stephen has done the work already.

No, that isn't what I meant.

Then what do you mean? The compiler either emits the instructions or it
doesn't. If it doesn't, what the assembler accepts is irrelevant.

Ok. Presumably the order of arch-$(CONFIG) lines in the Makefile
are done in an order to allow the build to degrade to the lowest
common denominator among architecture support. CPU_V7 selects
CPU_32v7 and we're using that config to select -march=armv7-a in
the Makefile. The patch currently uses CPU_32v7VE to select
-march=armv7ve. If CPU_V7VE selects CPU_V7 we'll never be able to
use -march=armv7ve because CPU_V7 will be selecting CPU_32v7 and
that will come after CPU_32v7VE in the Makefile.
My understanding is that we want to support CPU_V7VE without
CPU_V7 enabled so that it uses the idiv instructions in that
configuration. When V7VE and V7 are both enabled, we should
degrade to the aeabi functions, and the same is true for when
V7VE is disabled.
I suppose we can fix this by making CPU_V7 a hidden option? Or I
need some coffee because I'm missing something.

Correct. Make processes the directives in the order listed in the
makefile, which means that a variable final value results from its
last assignment.

Right, but look at how the V6K stuff is handled:
arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 $(call cc-option,-march=armv6,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6)
# Only override the compiler option if ARMv6. The ARMv6K extensions are
# always available in ARMv7
ifeq ($(CONFIG_CPU_32v6),y)
arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6K) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 $(call cc-option,-march=armv6k,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6k)
endif
We'd need to do something similar for v7VE as well. As we're getting
more of this, I'd suggest we move to:
arch-v7a-y =$(call cc-option,-march=armv7-a,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv7-a)
arch-v7a-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v7VE) =... whatever it was...
arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v7) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=7 $(arch-v7a-y)
arch-v6-y =$(call cc-option,-march=armv6,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6)
arch-v6-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6K) =$(call cc-option,-march=armv6k,-march=armv5t -Wa$(comma)-march=armv6k)
arch-$(CONFIG_CPU_32v6) =-D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=6 $(arch-v6-y)

Let me have another look at this, it's been a while since I touched these

I would argue that V7VE is different from V6K here: The instructions
that are added in V6K compared to V6 are not generated by gcc but
are typically used in assembly like
static inline unsigned long __xchg(unsigned long x, volatile void *ptr, int size)
{
...
#ifndef CONFIG_CPU_V6
asm volatile(...); /* v6k specific instruction */
#endif
}
while the logic in your example above would break normal v7 support when
both V7 and V7VE are enabled.

There is one idea that I've had in the back of my mind for a long
while, and probably mentioned on the list before:
We could decide to simplify the CPU architecture selection for
multiplatform a lot if we turn the somewhat overengineered ARCH_MULTI_*
options into a choice statement, where each of them implies the
higher architecture levels. That way we can linearize
ARMv6/v6k/v7/v7VE/v8/v8.1 so that you just pick which platforms you
want to see by selecting the minimum level, and all higher ones will
automatically be available (for v8 and v8.1 that means just MACH_VIRT,
as we don't really want to run 32-bit kernels on bare metal v8-A
machines).
That way, we can have LPAE and -march=armv7ve support depend on
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V7VE, which would imply that we don't support
CPU_V7 based platforms.

It looks like we have some sort of function that mostly does
this, except it doesn't differentiate on that lower bit for 1 vs
4. I guess I'll write another one for that.
static inline int cpu_is_pj4(void)
{
unsigned int id;
id = read_cpuid_id();
if ((id & 0xff0fff00) == 0x560f5800)
return 1;
return 0;
}
