+Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by recent GCC
+ (4.7.2) optimizations
+
+Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on
+assumptions about the implementation of memset and similar functions.
+The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
+its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.
+
+For instance in the following function:
+
+void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
+{
+ memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
+ waiter->magic = waiter;
+ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
+}
+
+compiled as:
+
+800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
+800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr}
+800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1
+800554d8: e3a02010 mov r2, #16 ; 0x10
+800554dc: e3a01011 mov r1, #17 ; 0x11
+800554e0: eb04426e bl 80165ea0 <memset>
+800554e4: e1a03000 mov r3, r0
+800554e8: e583000c str r0, [r3, #12]
+800554ec: e5830000 str r0, [r3]
+800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4]
+800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc}
+
+GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
+register/memory corruptions.
+
+This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
+It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
+existing load/store instructions.
+For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:
+
+Step 1
+======
+Perform the following substitutions:
+ip -> r8, then
+r0 -> ip,
+and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
+At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
+but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).
+
+Step 2
+======
+Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:
+
+save r8:
+- str lr, [sp, #-4]!
++ stmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
+
+and restore r8 on both exit paths:
+- ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
++ ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+(...)
+ tst r2, #16
+ stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
+- ldr lr, [sp], #4
++ ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
+
+Step 3
+======
+Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:
+
+save r8:
+- stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
++ stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
+
+and restore r8 on both exit paths:
+ bgt 3b
+- ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
++ ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
+(...)
+ tst r2, #16
+ stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
+- ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
++ ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
+
+Step 4
+======
+Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

+Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix
+
+Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
+recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
+with the memset return value. However the memset itself became broken
+by that patch for misaligned pointers.
+
+This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
+misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.
+
+Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
+compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.
+
+While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
+issue pipelines.

+
+Recent GCC versions (e.g. GCC-4.7.2) perform optimizations based on

+The current ARM optimized memset code does not return the value of
+its first argument, as is usually expected from standard implementations.
+
+For instance in the following function:
+
+void debug_mutex_lock_common(struct mutex *lock, struct mutex_waiter *waiter)
+{
+ memset(waiter, MUTEX_DEBUG_INIT, sizeof(*waiter));
+ waiter->magic = waiter;
+ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&waiter->list);
+}
+
+compiled as:
+
+800554d0 <debug_mutex_lock_common>:
+800554d0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr}
+800554d4: e1a00001 mov r0, r1

+800554f0: e5830004 str r0, [r3, #4]
+800554f4: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc}
+
+GCC assumes memset returns the value of pointer 'waiter' in register r0; causing
+register/memory corruptions.
+
+This patch fixes the return value of the assembly version of memset.
+It adds a 'mov' instruction and merges an additional load+store into
+existing load/store instructions.
+For ease of review, here is a breakdown of the patch into 4 simple steps:
+
+Step 1
+======
+Perform the following substitutions:
+ip -> r8, then
+r0 -> ip,
+and insert 'mov ip, r0' as the first statement of the function.
+At this point, we have a memset() implementation returning the proper result,
+but corrupting r8 on some paths (the ones that were using ip).
+
+Step 2
+======
+Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 1:
+
+save r8:
+- str lr, [sp, #-4]!
++ stmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
+
+and restore r8 on both exit paths:
+- ldmeqfd sp!, {pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
++ ldmeqfd sp!, {r8, pc} @ Now <64 bytes to go.
+(...)
+ tst r2, #16
+ stmneia ip!, {r1, r3, r8, lr}
+- ldr lr, [sp], #4
++ ldmfd sp!, {r8, lr}
+
+Step 3
+======
+Make sure r8 is saved and restored when (! CALGN(1)+0) == 0:
+
+save r8:
+- stmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
++ stmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
+
+and restore r8 on both exit paths:
+ bgt 3b
+- ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r7, pc}
++ ldmeqfd sp!, {r4-r8, pc}
+(...)
+ tst r2, #16
+ stmneia ip!, {r4-r7}
+- ldmfd sp!, {r4-r7, lr}
++ ldmfd sp!, {r4-r8, lr}
+
+Step 4
+======
+Rewrite register list "r4-r7, r8" as "r4-r8".

+Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix
+
+Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by
+recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue
+with the memset return value. However the memset itself became broken
+by that patch for misaligned pointers.
+
+This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the
+misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer.
+
+Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode
+compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end.
+
+While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual
+issue pipelines.
