* FROMLIST: lib: vdso: add support for timeMark Salyzyn2019-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (cherry pick from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10053549/) Add time() vdso support to match up with existing support in the x86's vdso. Currently benefitting arm and arm64 which uses the common vgettimeofday.c implementation. On arm provides about a ~14 fold improvement in speed over the straight syscall, and about a ~5 fold improvement in speed over an alternate library implementation that relies on the vdso call to gettimeofday to fulfill the request. We can provide __vdso_time even if we can not provide a speed enhanced __vdso_gettimeofday.

* FROMLIST: [PATCH v5 09/12] arm: vdso: move vgettimeofday.c to lib/vdso/Mark Salyzyn2019-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (cherry pick from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044497/) Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski@cavium.com>, rework it for use in both arm and arm64, overlapping any optimizations for each architecture. But instead of landing it in arm64, land the result into lib/vdso and unify both implementations to simplify future maintenance. Declare arch/arm/vdso/vgettimeofday.c to be a candidate for a global implementation of the vdso timer calls. The hope is that new architectures can take advantage of the current unification of arm and arm64 implementations. We urge future efforts to merge their implementations into the global vgettimeofday.c file and thus provide functional parity.

* ARM: 8405/1: VDSO: fix regression with toolchains lacking ld.bfd executableNathan Lynch2015-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2014.05 toolchain (gcc 4.8.3, binutils 2.24.51) has a GCC which implements -fuse-ld, and it doesn't include the gold linker, but it lacks an ld.bfd executable in its installation. This means that passing -fuse-ld=bfd fails with: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' Arguably this is a deficiency in the toolchain, but I suspect it's commonly used enough that it's worth accommodating: just use cc-ldoption (to cause a link attempt) instead of cc-option to test whether we can use -fuse-ld. So -fuse-ld=bfd won't be used with this toolchain, but the build will rightly succeed, just as it does for toolchains which don't implement -fuse-ld (and don't use gold as the default linker). Note: this will change the failure mode for a corner case I was trying to handle in d2b30cd4b722, where the toolchain defaults to the gold linker and the BFD linker is not found in PATH, from: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' i.e. the BFD linker is not found, to: OBJCOPY arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so BFD: arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N that is, we fail to prevent gold from being used as the linker, and it produces an object that objcopy can't digest.

For now, instead of supporting gold (which will fail to link the kernel anyway since it does not implement --pic-veneer), direct the compiler to use the traditional bfd linker. This is accomplished by using -fuse-ld, which is implemented in GCC 4.8 and later. Note: one limitation of this is that if the toolchain is configured to use gold by default, and the bfd linker is not in $PATH, the VDSO build will fail: VDSO arch/arm/vdso/vdso.so.raw collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld' This will happen if CROSS_COMPILE begins with a path such as /opt/bin/arm-linux-gnu- but /opt/bin is not in $PATH. This is considered an acceptable corner-case limitation and is easily worked around. Additonal note: we use cc-option instead of cc-ldoption so that -fuse-ld=bfd is placed in the command line if the compiler recognizes the option. Using cc-ldoption results in an attempt to link, which fails in the situation just described, causing -fuse-ld=bfd to be omitted and gold to be used for the VDSO link, which is what we're trying to prevent.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the host toolchain is not glibc based then the arm kernel build fails with arch/arm/vdso/vdsomunge.c:53:19: fatal error: error.h: No such file or directory error.h is a glibc only header (ie not available in musl, newlib and bsd libcs).

* ARM: 8344/1: VDSO: honor CONFIG_VDSO in MakefileNathan Lynch2015-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CONFIG_VDSO=n, the build normally does not enter arch/arm/vdso/ because arch/arm/Makefile does not add it to core-y. However, if the user runs 'make arch/arm/vdso/' the VDSO targets will get visited. This is because the VDSO Makefile itself does not consider the value of CONFIG_VDSO. It is arguably better and more consistent behavior to generate an empty built-in.o when CONFIG_VDSO=n and the user attempts to build arch/arm/vdso/. It's nicer because it doesn't try to build things that Kconfig dependencies are there to prevent (e.g. the dependency on AEABI), and it's less confusing than building objects that won't be used in the final image.

* ARM: 8330/1: add VDSO user-space codeNathan Lynch2015-03-27
Place VDSO-related user-space code in arch/arm/kernel/vdso/. It is almost completely written in C with some assembly helpers to load the data page address, sample the counter, and fall back to system calls when necessary. The VDSO can service gettimeofday and clock_gettime when CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER is enabled and the architected timer is present (and correctly configured). It reads the CP15-based virtual counter to compute high-resolution timestamps. Of particular note is that a post-processing step ("vdsomunge") is necessary to produce a shared object which is architecturally allowed to be used by both soft- and hard-float EABI programs. The 2012 edition of the ARM ABI defines Tag_ABI_VFP_args = 3 "Code is compatible with both the base and VFP variants; the user did not permit non-variadic functions to pass FP parameters/results." Unfortunately current toolchains do not support this tag, which is ideally what we would use. The best available option is to ensure that both EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT and EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD are unset in the ELF header's e_flags, indicating that the shared object is "old" and should be accepted for backward compatibility's sake. While binutils < 2.24 appear to produce a vdso.so with both flags clear, 2.24 always sets EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT, with no way to inhibit this behavior. So we have to fix things up with a custom post-processing step. In fact, the VDSO code in glibc does much less validation (including checking these flags) than the code for handling conventional file-backed shared libraries, so this is a bit moot unless glibc's VDSO code becomes more strict.
