      include/linux/unaligned: pack the whole struct rather than just the field · 4e06fd14
      Will Newton 提交于
      The current packed struct implementation of unaligned access adds the
      packed attribute only to the field within the unaligned struct rather than
      to the struct as a whole.  This is not sufficient to enforce proper
      behaviour on architectures with a default struct alignment of more than
      one byte.
      
      For example, the current implementation of __get_unaligned_cpu16 when
      compiled for arm with gcc -O1 -mstructure-size-boundary=32 assumes the
      struct is on a 4 byte boundary so performs the load of the 16bit packed
      field as if it were on a 4 byte boundary:
      
      __get_unaligned_cpu16:
              ldrh    r0, [r0, #0]
              bx      lr
      
      Moving the packed attribute to the struct rather than the field causes the
      proper unaligned access code to be generated:
      
      __get_unaligned_cpu16:
      	ldrb	r3, [r0, #0]	@ zero_extendqisi2
      	ldrb	r0, [r0, #1]	@ zero_extendqisi2
      	orr	r0, r3, r0, asl #8
      	bx	lr

      include/linux/unaligned/{l,b}e_byteshift.h: fix usage for compressed kernels · 2fa43410
      Albin Tonnerre 提交于
      When unaligned accesses are required for uncompressing a kernel (such as
      for LZO decompression on ARM in a patch that follows), including
      <linux/kernel.h> causes issues as it brings in a lot of things that are
      not available in the decompression environment.
      
      linux/kernel.h brings at least:
      extern int console_printk[];
      extern const char hex_asc[];
      which causes errors at link-time as they are not available when
      compiling the pre-boot environement. There are also a few others:
      
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `valid_user_regs':
         arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h:158: undefined reference to `elf_hwcap'
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_silent':
         include/linux/kernel.h:292: undefined reference to `console_printk'
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `console_verbose':
         include/linux/kernel.h:297: undefined reference to `console_printk'
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `pack_hex_byte':
         include/linux/kernel.h:360: undefined reference to `hex_asc'
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `hweight_long':
         include/linux/bitops.h:45: undefined reference to `hweight32'
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__cmpxchg_local_generic':
         include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:21: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
         include/asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h:42: undefined reference to `wrong_size_cmpxchg'
        arch/arm/boot/compressed/misc.o: In function `__xchg':
         arch/arm/include/asm/system.h:309: undefined reference to `__bad_xchg'
      
      However, those files apparently use nothing from <linux/kernel.h>, all
      they need is the declaration of types such as u32 or u64, so
      <linux/types.h> should be enough

      kernel: add common infrastructure for unaligned access · 064106a9
      Harvey Harrison 提交于
      Create a linux/unaligned directory similar in spirit to the linux/byteorder
      folder to hold generic implementations collected from various arches.
      
      Currently there are five implementations:
      1) packed_struct.h: C-struct based, from asm-generic/unaligned.h
      2) le_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
      3) be_byteshift.h: Open coded byte-swapping, heavily based on asm-arm
      4) memmove.h: taken from multiple implementations in tree
      5) access_ok.h: taken from x86 and others, unaligned access is ok.
      
      All of the new implementations checks for sizes not equal to 1,2,4,8
      and will fail to link.
      
      API additions:
      
      get_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(p) which is meant to replace
      code of the form:
      le16_to_cpu(get_unaligned((__le16 *)p));
      
      put_unaligned_{le16|le32|le64|be16|be32|be64}(val, pointer) which is meant to
      replace code of the form:
      put_unaligned(cpu_to_le16(val), (__le16 *)p);
      
      The headers that arches should include from their asm/unaligned.h:
      
      access_ok.h : Wrappers of the byteswapping functions in asm/byteorder
      
      Choose a particular implementation for little-endian access:
      le_byteshift.h
      le_memmove.h (arch must be LE)
      le_struct.h (arch must be LE)
      
      Choose a particular implementation for big-endian access:
      be_byteshift.h
      be_memmove.h (arch must be BE)
      be_struct.h (arch must be BE)
      
      After including as needed from the above, include unaligned/generic.h and
      define your arch's get/put_unaligned as (for LE):
