The breakage is only with some compiler versions and some # hardware, and nobody seems to have figured out what triggers it, # although there's a simple reprodicer for the problem when it does # trigger. # # The problem was introduced with the conversion to the generic GUP code # in commit 7b9afb86b632 ("sparc64: use the generic get_user_pages_fast # code"), but nothing looks obviously wrong in that conversion. It may be # a compiler bug that just hits us with the code reorganization. Or it # may be something very specific to sparc64. # # This disables HAVE_FAST_GUP entirely. That makes things like futexes a # bit slower, but at least they work. If we can figure out the trigger, # that would be lovely, but it's been three months already.. # # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190717215956.GA30369@altlinux.org/ # Fixes: 7b9afb86b632 ("sparc64: use the generic get_user_pages_fast code") # Reported-by: Dmitry V Levin # Reported-by: Anatoly Pugachev # Requested-by: Meelis Roos # Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig # Cc: David Miller # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/sh4-linux/bin/sh4-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/sh4-linux/bin/sh4-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 8e0d0ad206f08506c893326ca7c9c3d9cc042cef # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=sh O=/kisskb/build/linus_se7206_defconfig_sh4 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/sh4-linux/bin/sh4-linux- se7206_defconfig # make -s -j 24 ARCH=sh O=/kisskb/build/linus_se7206_defconfig_sh4 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/gcc-4.6.3-nolibc/sh4-linux/bin/sh4-linux- Generating include/generated/machtypes.h :1511:2: warning: #warning syscall clone3 not implemented [-Wcpp] /kisskb/src/arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh2a/../../entry-common.S: Assembler messages: /kisskb/src/arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh2a/../../entry-common.S:385: Warning: overflow in branch to syscall_exit_work; converted into longer instruction sequence /kisskb/src/arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh2a/../../entry-common.S:388: Warning: overflow in branch to syscall_exit_work; converted into longer instruction sequence /kisskb/src/kernel/rcu/srcutree.c: In function 'init_srcu_struct_fields': /kisskb/src/kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:121:34: warning: 'levelspread[]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:88:6: note: 'levelspread[]' was declared here /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c: In function 'devkmsg_sysctl_set_loglvl': /kisskb/src/kernel/printk/printk.c:204:16: warning: 'old' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c: In function 'proc_reg_open': /kisskb/src/include/linux/list.h:65:12: warning: 'pdeo' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized] /kisskb/src/fs/proc/inode.c:338:21: note: 'pdeo' was declared here /kisskb/src/drivers/sh/clk/cpg.c: In function 'r8': /kisskb/src/drivers/sh/clk/cpg.c:41:2: warning: passing argument 1 of 'ioread8' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/iomap.h:29:21: note: expected 'void *' but argument is of type 'const void *' /kisskb/src/drivers/sh/clk/cpg.c: In function 'r16': /kisskb/src/drivers/sh/clk/cpg.c:46:2: warning: passing argument 1 of 'ioread16' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/iomap.h:30:21: note: expected 'void *' but argument is of type 'const void *' /kisskb/src/drivers/sh/clk/cpg.c: In function 'r32': /kisskb/src/drivers/sh/clk/cpg.c:51:2: warning: passing argument 1 of 'ioread32' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [enabled by default] /kisskb/src/include/asm-generic/iomap.h:32:21: note: expected 'void *' but argument is of type 'const void *' Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_se7206_defconfig_sh4 # Build took: 0:00:41.181776
