lib/raid6/test/Makefile: Use $(pound) instead of \# for Make 4.3

2022-03-08T23:20:21+00:00

Buidling raid6test on Ubuntu 21.10 (ppc64le) with GNU Make 4.3 shows the
errors below:

    $ cd lib/raid6/test/
    $ make
    :1:1: error: stray ‘\’ in program
    :1:2: error: stray ‘#’ in program
    :1:11: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ \
        before ‘<’ token

    [...]

The errors come from the HAS_ALTIVEC test, which fails, and the POWER
optimized versions are not built. That’s also reason nobody noticed on the
other architectures.

GNU Make 4.3 does not remove the backslash anymore. From the 4.3 release
announcment:

> * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
>   Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
>   no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
>   thus a call such as:
>     foo := $(shell echo '#')
>   is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
>     foo := $(shell echo '\#')
>   Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
>   portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
>     H := \#
>     foo := $(shell echo '$H')
>   This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
>   To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

So, do the same as commit 9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd
files for future Make") and commit 929bef467771 ("bpf: Use $(pound) instead
of \# in Makefiles") and define and use a $(pound) variable.

x86: update AS_* macros to binutils >=2.23, supporting ADX and AVX2

2020-04-08T15:12:48+00:00

Now that the kernel specifies binutils 2.23 as the minimum version, we
can remove ifdefs for AVX2 and ADX throughout.

x86: remove always-defined CONFIG_AS_SSSE3

2020-04-08T15:01:59+00:00

CONFIG_AS_SSSE3 was introduced by commit 75aaf4c3e6a4 ("x86/raid6:
correctly check for assembler capabilities").

We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time.
The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5ff ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").

I confirmed the code in $(call as-instr,...) can be assembled by the
binutils 2.21 assembler and also by LLVM integrated assembler.

Remove CONFIG_AS_SSSE3, which is always defined.

I added ifdef CONFIG_X86 to lib/raid6/algos.c to avoid link errors
on non-x86 architectures.

lib/raid6/algos.c is built not only for the kernel but also for
testing the library code from userspace. I added -DCONFIG_X86 to
lib/raid6/test/Makefile to cator to this usecase.

lib/raid6/test: fix build on distros whose /bin/sh is not bash

2020-04-08T15:01:58+00:00

You can build a user-space test program for the raid6 library code,
like this:

  $ cd lib/raid6/test
  $ make

The command in $(shell ...) function is evaluated by /bin/sh by default.
(or, you can specify the shell by passing SHELL= from command line)

Currently '>&/dev/null' is used to sink both stdout and stderr. Because
this code is bash-ism, it only works when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to
bash (this is the case on RHEL etc.)

This does not work on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash.

I see lots of

  /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number

and

  warning "your version of binutils lacks ... support"

Replace it with portable '>/dev/null 2>&1'.

lib/raid6: Fix arm64 test build

2018-11-06T17:12:44+00:00

The lib/raid6/test fails to build the neon objects
on arm64 because the correct machine type is 'aarch64'.

Once this is correctly enabled, the neon recovery objects
need to be added to the build.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Support for 4PB user address space on 64-bit, opt-in via mmap().

   - Removal of POWER4 support, which was accidentally broken in 2016
     and no one noticed, and blocked use of some modern instructions.

   - Workarounds so that the hypervisor can enable Transactional Memory
     on Power9.

   - A series to disable the DAWR (Data Address Watchpoint Register) on
     Power9.

   - More information displayed in the meltdown/spectre_v1/v2 sysfs
     files.

   - A vpermxor (Power8 Altivec) implementation for the raid6 Q
     Syndrome.

   - A big series to make the allocation of our pacas (per cpu area),
     kernel page tables, and per-cpu stacks NUMA aware when using the
     Radix MMU on Power9.

  And as usual many fixes, reworks and cleanups.

lib/raid6/altivec: Add vpermxor implementation for raid6 Q syndrome

2018-03-20T05:47:25+00:00

This patch uses the vpermxor instruction to optimise the raid6 Q
syndrome. This instruction was made available with POWER8, ISA version
2.07. It allows for both vperm and vxor instructions to be done in a
single instruction. This has been tested for correctness on a ppc64le
vm with a basic RAID6 setup containing 5 drives.

The performance benchmarks are from the raid6test in the
/lib/raid6/test directory. These results are from an IBM Firestone
machine with ppc64le architecture. The benchmark results show a 35%
speed increase over the best existing algorithm for powerpc (altivec).
The raid6test has also been run on a big-endian ppc64 vm to ensure it
also works for big-endian architectures.

Performance benchmarks:
  raid6: altivecx4 gen() 18773 MB/s
  raid6: altivecx8 gen() 19438 MB/s

  raid6: vpermxor4 gen() 25112 MB/s
  raid6: vpermxor8 gen() 26279 MB/s
