raid6: riscv: Fix NULL pointer dereference caused by a missing clobber

2025-06-12T19:21:48Z

When running the raid6 user-space test program on RISC-V QEMU, there's a segmentation fault which seems caused by accessing a NULL pointer, which is the pointer variable p/q in raid6_rvv*_gen/xor_syndrome_real(), p/q should have been equal to dptr[x], but when I use GDB command to see its value, which was 0x10 like below: " Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000011062 in raid6_rvv2_xor_syndrome_real (disks=, start=0, stop=, bytes=4096, ptrs=) at rvv.c:386 (gdb) p p $1 = (u8 *) 0x10 " The issue was found to be related with: 1) Compile optimization There's no segmentation fault if compiling the raid6test program with the optimization flag -O0. 2) The RISC-V vector command vsetvli If not used t0 as the first parameter in vsetvli, there's no segmentation fault either. This patch selects the 2nd solution to fix the issue. [Palmer: The actual issue here is a missing clobber in the vsetvli code. It's a little tricky: we've already probed for VLENB so we don't need to look at the output register, we just need to have an X register in the instruction as that's the form required to actually set VL. Thus we clobber a register, and without describing that we end up breaking compilers.] Fixes: 6093faaf9593 ("raid6: Add RISC-V SIMD syndrome and recovery calculations") Signed-off-by: Chunyan Zhang Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250610101234.1100660-3-zhangchunyan@iscas.ac.cn Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt

raid6: Add RISC-V SIMD syndrome and recovery calculations

2025-06-05T21:03:07Z

The assembly is originally based on the ARM NEON and int.uc, but uses RISC-V vector instructions to implement the RAID6 syndrome and recovery calculations. The functions are tested on QEMU running with the option "-icount shift=0": raid6: rvvx1 gen() 1008 MB/s raid6: rvvx2 gen() 1395 MB/s raid6: rvvx4 gen() 1584 MB/s raid6: rvvx8 gen() 1694 MB/s raid6: int64x8 gen() 113 MB/s raid6: int64x4 gen() 116 MB/s raid6: int64x2 gen() 272 MB/s raid6: int64x1 gen() 229 MB/s raid6: using algorithm rvvx8 gen() 1694 MB/s raid6: .... xor() 1000 MB/s, rmw enabled raid6: using rvv recovery algorithm [Charlie: - Fixup vector options] Signed-off-by: Charlie Jenkins Signed-off-by: Chunyan Zhang Reviewed-by: Charlie Jenkins Tested-by: Charlie Jenkins Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250305083707.74218-1-zhangchunyan@iscas.ac.cn Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt

kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory

2024-05-09T19:34:52Z

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined in scripts/Makefile.build: src := $(obj) When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically passed to the compiler. This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter. To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of $(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree. Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following meanings: $(obj) - directory in the object tree $(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit) $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced with $(src).

treewide: update LLVM Bugzilla links

2024-02-22T23:38:51Z

LLVM moved their issue tracker from their own Bugzilla instance to GitHub issues. While all of the links are still valid, they may not necessarily show the most up to date information around the issues, as all updates will occur on GitHub, not Bugzilla. Another complication is that the Bugzilla issue number is not always the same as the GitHub issue number. Thankfully, LLVM maintains this mapping through two shortlinks: https://llvm.org/bz -> https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id= https://llvm.org/pr -> https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/ Switch all "https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=" links to the "https://llvm.org/pr" shortlink so that the links show the most up to date information. Each migrated issue links back to the Bugzilla entry, so there should be no loss of fidelity of information here.
