From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>
This patchset tries to optimize arch specfic jump label implementation
for ARM64 by dynamic kernel text patching.
To enable this feature, your toolchain must support "asm goto" extension
and "%c" constraint extesion. Current GCC for AARCH64 doesn't support
"%c", so you need a GCC patch similiar to this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/gcc/config/arm/arm.c?view=patch&r1=175293&r2=175565&pathrev=175565
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48637
It has been tested on ARM Fast mode, but not on real hardware yet.
Any comments are welcomed!
V1->V2: address review comments of V1
1) refine comments
2) add a new interface to always synchronize with stop_machine()
when patching code
3) handle endian issue when patching code
Jiang Liu (7):
arm64: introduce basic aarch64 instruction decoding helpers
arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code
arm64: move encode_insn_immediate() from module.c to insn.c
arm64: introduce aarch64_insn_gen_{nop|branch_imm}() helper functions
arm64, jump label: detect %c support for ARM64
arm64, jump label: optimize jump label implementation
jump_label: use defined macros instead of hard-coding for better
readability

1.8.1.2
From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>
Introduce three interfaces to patch kernel and module code:
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync():
patch code without synchronization, it's caller's responsibility
to synchronize all CPUs if needed.
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync():
patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()
aarch64_insn_patch_text():
patch code and synchronize with stop_machine() if needed

1.8.1.2
From: Jiang Liu <[email protected]>
As commit a9468f30b5eac6 "ARM: 7333/2: jump label: detect %c
support for ARM", this patch detects the same thing for ARM64
because some ARM64 GCC versions have the same issue.
Some versions of ARM64 GCC which do support asm goto, do not
support the %c specifier. Since we need the %c to support jump
labels on ARM64, detect that too in the asm goto detection script
to avoid build errors with these versions.

Right, but this is just for the ARM (AArch32) backend afaict. Are there any
plans for upstream GCC to support this constraint for AArch64?

Hi Will,
We have an internal GCC version with this issue fixed. But I'm not
familiar with GCC community and don't know the way to get the fix merged
into GCC mainstream. Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Oh god, not that again. I've no idea why ARM stuff has such a problem with
supporting this very useful "%c" GCC constraint. Aarch32 didn't for ages
consequently we now have horrid hacks around it in the kernel source
because our compilers suck. Seems Aarch64 is doomed to repeat the same
stupid mistakes. :(

We need to do the same trick for ARM64 too:)

Just been locating it - it's part of the gcc internals documentation:
| In the simplest case, a `%' followed by a digit N says to output
| operand N at that point in the string.
|
| `%' followed by a letter and a digit says to output an operand in an
| alternate fashion. Four letters have standard, built-in meanings
| described below. The machine description macro `PRINT_OPERAND' can
| define additional letters with nonstandard meanings.
|
| `%cDIGIT' can be used to substitute an operand that is a constant
| value without the syntax that normally indicates an immediate operand.
| ...
| `%lDIGIT' is used to substitute a `label_ref' into a jump instruction.
%lDIGIT is used (but not commented upon) in the gcc extended asm
documentation where it talks about asm gotos, so there's probably a doc
bug here too about whether these options should be described in the
main doc as well.
Nevertheness, this section is documenting the _internals_ of gcc, and
it seems perverse for a gcc backend to ignore something that is
documented as being a standard part of gcc.

I'll make sure this gets fixed.
