      arm64: build vdso without libgcov · 54309784
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be
      available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV
      enabled then results in a build error:
      
      /home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov
      
      We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so
      this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as
      we do for most other architectures.

      arm64: mark cpus_have_hwcap as __maybe_unused · 3d6d1035
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      cpus_have_hwcap() is defined as a 'static' function an only used in
      one place that is inside of an #ifdef, so we get a warning when
      the only user is disabled:
      
      arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c:699:13: warning: 'cpus_have_hwcap' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
      
      This marks the function as __maybe_unused, so the compiler knows that
      it can drop the function definition without warning about it.

      arm64: cmpxchg_dbl: fix return value type · 57a65667
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored
      The current arm64 __cmpxchg_double{_mb} implementations carry out the
      compare exchange by first comparing the old values passed in to the
      values read from the pointer provided and by stashing the cumulative
      bitwise difference in a 64-bit register.
      
      By comparing the register content against 0, it is possible to detect if
      the values read differ from the old values passed in, so that the compare
      exchange detects whether it has to bail out or carry on completing the
      operation with the exchange.
      
      Given the current implementation, to detect the cmpxchg operation
      status, the __cmpxchg_double{_mb} functions should return the 64-bit
      stashed bitwise difference so that the caller can detect cmpxchg failure
      by comparing the return value content against 0. The current implementation
      declares the return value as an int, which means that the 64-bit
      value stashing the bitwise difference is truncated before being
      returned to the __cmpxchg_double{_mb} callers, which means that
      any bitwise difference present in the top 32 bits goes undetected,
      triggering false positives and subsequent kernel failures.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by declaring the arm64 __cmpxchg_double{_mb}
      return values as a long, so that the bitwise difference is
      properly propagated on failure, restoring the expected behaviour.
      
      Fixes: e9a4b795 ("arm64: cmpxchg_dbl: patch in lse instructions when supported by the CPU")
