<title>[SPARC]: Fix exec failures on sun4c.</title>

<id>da4e9fea85ea42c9c6ce163a85d5164efbec31a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This deals with a sun4c issue caused by commit b6a2fea39318e43fee84fa7b0b90d68bed92d2ba:
mm: variable length argument support.

The new way the code works means that sun4c_update_mmu_cache gets
called before a context has been selected, which results in invalid
operation of the underling mm code.

Simply ignoring update requests when there is no valid context solves
the problem.

The string setting code depends upon the original value of the
"skip" variable, not the one that gets modified by the node
traversal loop.

Based upon a patch by Mark Fortescue.

Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
 1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

<title>[SPARC32]: Fix bug in sparc optimized memset.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=f61698e6489f229f9fcfe29e68f228389a772993'/>
<id>f61698e6489f229f9fcfe29e68f228389a772993</id>
<content type='text'>
Sparc optimized memset (arch/sparc/lib/memset.S) does not fill last
byte of the memory area, if area size is less than 8 bytes and start
address is not word (4-bytes) aligned.

Here is code chunk where bug located:
/* %o0 - memory address, %o1 - size, %g3 - value */
8:
     add    %o0, 1, %o0
    subcc    %o1, 1, %o1
    bne,a    8b
     stb %g3, [%o0 - 1]

This code should write byte every loop iteration, but last time delay
instruction stb is not executed because branch instruction sets
"annul" bit.

Patch replaces bne,a by bne instruction.

Error can be reproduced by simple kernel module:

--------------------
#include &lt;linux/module.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/config.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/errno.h&gt;
#include &lt;string.h&gt;

static void do_memset(void **p, int size)
{
        memset(p, 0x00, size);
}

static int __init memset_test_init(void)
{
    char fooc[8];
    int *fooi;
    memset(fooc, 0xba, sizeof(fooc));

    do_memset((void**)(fooc + 3), 1);

    fooi = (int*) fooc;
    printk("%08X %08X\n", fooi[0], fooi[1]);

    return -1;
}

static void __exit memset_test_cleanup(void)
{
    return;
}

Sparc optimized memset (arch/sparc/lib/memset.S) does not fill last
byte of the memory area, if area size is less than 8 bytes and start
address is not word (4-bytes) aligned.

Here is code chunk where bug located:
/* %o0 - memory address, %o1 - size, %g3 - value */
8:
     add    %o0, 1, %o0
    subcc    %o1, 1, %o1
    bne,a    8b
     stb %g3, [%o0 - 1]

This code should write byte every loop iteration, but last time delay
instruction stb is not executed because branch instruction sets
"annul" bit.

Patch replaces bne,a by bne instruction.

Error can be reproduced by simple kernel module:

--------------------
#include &lt;linux/module.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/config.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt;
#include &lt;linux/errno.h&gt;
#include &lt;string.h&gt;

static void do_memset(void **p, int size)
{
        memset(p, 0x00, size);
}

static int __init memset_test_init(void)
{
    char fooc[8];
    int *fooi;
    memset(fooc, 0xba, sizeof(fooc));

    do_memset((void**)(fooc + 3), 1);

    fooi = (int*) fooc;
    printk("%08X %08X\n", fooi[0], fooi[1]);

    return -1;
}

static void __exit memset_test_cleanup(void)
{
    return;
}

module_init(memset_test_init);
module_exit(memset_test_cleanup);

This fixes boot failures when the build-id LD option is
actually used, because without it we end up with multiple
PT_LOAD sections which the SILO boot loader cannot handle.
