2020-06-11 | locking/atomics: Flip fallbacks and instrumentation | Peter Zijlstra | |
Currently instrumentation of atomic primitives is done at the architecture level, while composites or fallbacks are provided at the generic level. The result is that there are no uninstrumented variants of the fallbacks. Since there is now need of such variants to isolate text poke from any form of instrumentation invert this ordering. Doing this means moving the instrumentation into the generic code as well as having (for now) two variants of the fallbacks. Notes: - the various *cond_read* primitives are not proper fallbacks and got moved into linux/atomic.c. No arch_ variants are generated because the base primitives smp_cond_load*() are instrumented. - once all architectures are moved over to arch_atomic_ one of the fallback variants can be removed and some 2300 lines reclaimed. - atomic_{read,set}*() are no longer double-instrumented Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200505134058.769149955@linutronix.de | |||
2019-04-19 | locking/atomics: Don't assume that scripts are executable | Andrew Morton | |
patch(1) doesn't set the x bit on files. So if someone downloads and applies patch-4.21.xz, their kernel won't build. Fix that by executing /bin/sh.

2019-02-13 | locking/atomics: Check atomic headers with sha1sum | Mark Rutland | |
We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build. Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them, which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers). This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case. Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.
