Hi,
when working with the Linaro patches I found that a particular commit
breaks our aarch64 kernel build.
The patch in question is that one:
commit be09330da9d0777c4a58568d137e3f8a3dbe0a0b
Author: Yvan Roux <***@linaro.org>
Date: Tue Oct 27 21:18:19 2015 +0100
One of the things it attempts to change apparently is moving the .arch
specifiers in the assembler file from a global scope to individual
functions. What also happens though is that they seem to lose some
information after that transformation.
I observed that when building arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-cipher.c from
the Linux kernel. This code contains inline assembly like this:
static void aes_cipher_decrypt(struct crypto_tfm *tfm, u8 dst[], u8 const src[])
{
struct crypto_aes_ctx *ctx = crypto_tfm_ctx(tfm);
struct aes_block *out = (struct aes_block *)dst;
struct aes_block const *in = (struct aes_block *)src;
void *dummy0;
int dummy1;
kernel_neon_begin_partial(4);
__asm__(" ld1 {v0.16b}, %[in] ;"
" ld1 {v1.2d}, [%[key]], #16 ;"
" cmp %w[rounds], #10 ;"
" bmi 0f ;"
" bne 3f ;"
" mov v3.16b, v1.16b ;"
" b 2f ;"
"0: mov v2.16b, v1.16b ;"
" ld1 {v3.2d}, [%[key]], #16 ;"
"1: aesd v0.16b, v2.16b ;"
" aesimc v0.16b, v0.16b ;"
"2: ld1 {v1.2d}, [%[key]], #16 ;"
" aesd v0.16b, v3.16b ;"
" aesimc v0.16b, v0.16b ;"
"3: ld1 {v2.2d}, [%[key]], #16 ;"
" subs %w[rounds], %w[rounds], #3 ;"
" aesd v0.16b, v1.16b ;"
" aesimc v0.16b, v0.16b ;"
" ld1 {v3.2d}, [%[key]], #16 ;"
" bpl 1b ;"
" aesd v0.16b, v2.16b ;"
" eor v0.16b, v0.16b, v3.16b ;"
" st1 {v0.16b}, %[out] ;"
: [out] "=Q"(*out),
[key] "=r"(dummy0),
[rounds] "=r"(dummy1)
: [in] "Q"(*in),
"1"(ctx->key_dec),
"2"(num_rounds(ctx) - 2)
: "cc");
kernel_neon_end();
}
Now without this patch the compiler behaved like the following. It was
invoked with:
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/arm64/crypto/.aes-ce-cipher.o.d

/var/fpwork/rschiele/crossbuild/builds/aarch64-linux-gnu/linux-next/srcdir/src/linux/arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-cipher.c
As a result it created a file for the assembler with the global
.arch armv8-a+fp+simd+crypto
at the beginning of the file.
After the patch it created individual
.arch armv8-a
at individual places.
It is not clear to me, why the extensions (fp+simd+crypto) got lost.
Is that intended, such that the code needs special adaption for inline
assembly using those extensions or is that loss of extensions a bug of
that patch?
Greetings!
