On such architectures the # wrong __clzdi2() implementation isn't used and as such the bug has # no effect and won't be noticed. # # b) Some architectures link to libgcc.a, and the in-kernel weak # functions get replaced by the correct 64-bit variants from libgcc.a. # # c) __builtin_clzll() and __clzdi2() doesn't seem to be used in many # places in the kernel, and most likely only in uncritical functions, # e.g. when printing hex values via seq_put_hex_ll(). The wrong return # value will still print the correct number, but just in a wrong # formatting (e.g. with too many leading zeroes). # # d) 32-bit kernels aren't used that much any longer, so they are less # tested. # # A trivial testcase to verify if the currently running 32-bit kernel is # affected by the bug is to look at the output of /proc/self/maps: # # Here the kernel uses a correct implementation of __clzdi2(): # # root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps # 00010000-00019000 r-xp 00000000 08:05 787324 /usr/bin/cat # 00019000-0001a000 rwxp 00009000 08:05 787324 /usr/bin/cat # 0001a000-0003b000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] # f7551000-f770d000 r-xp 00000000 08:05 794765 /usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 # ... # # and this kernel uses the broken implementation of __clzdi2(): # # root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps # 0000000010000-0000000019000 r-xp 00000000 000000008:000000005 787324 /usr/bin/cat # 0000000019000-000000001a000 rwxp 000000009000 000000008:000000005 787324 /usr/bin/cat # 000000001a000-000000003b000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] # 00000000f73d1000-00000000f758d000 r-xp 00000000 000000008:000000005 794765 /usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 # ... # # Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> # Fixes: 4df87bb7b6a22 ("lib: add weak clz/ctz functions") # Cc: Chanho Min <chanho.min@lge.com> # Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> # Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.11+ # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 382d4cd1847517ffcb1800fd462b625db7b2ebea # make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- ppc44x_defconfig # < make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 40 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_ppc44x_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:00:38.888309
