MIPS: Workaround GCC __builtin_unreachable reordering bug
Some versions of GCC for the MIPS architecture suffer from a bug which
can lead to instructions from beyond an unreachable statement being
incorrectly reordered into earlier branch delay slots if the unreachable
statement is the only content of a case in a switch statement. This can
lead to seemingly random behaviour, such as invalid memory accesses from
incorrectly reordered loads or stores, and link failures on microMIPS
builds.
See this potential GCC fix for details:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00360.html
Runtime problems resulting from this bug were initially observed using a
maltasmvp_defconfig v4.4 kernel built using GCC 4.9.2 (from a Codescape
SDK 2015.06-05 toolchain), with the result being an address exception
taken after log messages about the L1 caches (during probe of the L2
cache):
Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
VPE topology {2,2} total 4
Primary instruction cache 64kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 32 bytes.
Primary data cache 64kB, 4-way, PIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes
<AdEL exception here>
This is early enough that the kernel exception vectors are not in use,
so any further output depends upon the bootloader. This is reproducible
in QEMU where no further output occurs - ie. the system hangs here.
Given the nature of the bug it may potentially be hit with differing
symptoms. The bug is known to affect GCC versions as recent as 7.3, and
it is unclear whether GCC 8 fixed it or just happens not to encounter
the bug in the testcase found at the link above due to differing
optimizations.
This bug can be worked around by placing a volatile asm statement, which
GCC is prevented from reordering past, prior to the
__builtin_unreachable call.
That was actually done already for other reasons by commit 173a3efd3edb
("bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()"), but creates problems for
microMIPS builds due to the lack of a .insn directive. The microMIPS ISA
allows for interlinking with regular MIPS32 code by repurposing bit 0 of
the program counter as an ISA mode bit. To switch modes one changes the
value of this bit in the PC. However typical branch instructions encode
their offsets as multiples of 2-byte instruction halfwords, which means
they cannot change ISA mode - this must be done using either an indirect
branch (a jump-register in MIPS terminology) or a dedicated jalx
instruction. In order to ensure that regular branches don't attempt to
target code in a different ISA which they can't actually switch to, the
linker will check that branch targets are code in the same ISA as the
branch.
Unfortunately our empty asm volatile statements don't qualify as code,
and the link for microMIPS builds fails with errors such as:
arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:3265: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:5027: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
Resolve this by adding a .insn directive within the asm statement which
declares that what comes next is code. This may or may not be true,
since we don't really know what comes next, but as this code is in an
unreachable path anyway that doesn't matter since we won't execute it.
We do this in asm/compiler.h & select CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H in
order to have this included by linux/compiler_types.h after
linux/compiler-gcc.h. This will result in asm/compiler.h being included
in all C compilations via the -include linux/compiler_types.h argument
in c_flags, which should be harmless.

|
* With GCC 4.5 onwards we can use __builtin_unreachable to indicate to the

|
|
|
|
* optimised out of the generated binary.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* Unfortunately at least GCC 4.6.3 through 7.3.0 inclusive suffer from a bug

|

|
|
|
|
* It is unclear whether GCC 8 onwards suffer from the same issue - nothing
|
|
|
|
* relevant is mentioned in GCC 8 release notes and nothing obviously relevant
|
|
|
|
* stands out in GCC commit logs, but these newer GCC versions generate very
|
|
|
|
* different code for the testcase which doesn't exhibit the bug.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* GCC also handles stack allocation suboptimally when calling noreturn
|
|
|
|
* functions or calling __builtin_unreachable():

|
* https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82365
|
|

|
|
* We work around both of these issues by placing a volatile asm statement,
|
|
|
|
* which GCC is prevented from reordering past, prior to __builtin_unreachable
|
|
|
|
* calls.
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
* The .insn statement is required to ensure that any branches to the
|
|
|
|
* statement, which sadly must be kept due to the asm statement, are known to
|
|
|
|
* be branches to code and satisfy linker requirements for microMIPS kernels.
