      arm64: mm: Add double logical invert to pte accessors · 84fe6826
      Steve Capper authored 
      

Page table entries on ARM64 are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as
pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the
flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run
into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast.

For example:
	gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1);
where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int.

This patch adds a double logical invert to all the pte_ accessors to
ensure predictable downcasting.

      dm cache: fix truncation bug when mapping I/O to >2TB fast device · e0d849fa
      Heinz Mauelshagen authored 
      

When remapping a block to the cache's fast device that is larger than
2TB we must not truncate the destination sector to 32bits.  The 32bit
temporary result of from_cblock() was being overflowed in
remap_to_cache() due to the logical left shift.

Use an intermediate 64bit type to store the 32bit from_cblock() result
to fix the overflow.

      perf tools: Fix strict alias issue for find_first_bit · b39c2a57
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      When compiling perf tool code with gcc 4.4.7 I'm getting
following error:

    CC       util/session.o
  cc1: warnings being treated as errors
  util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session_deliver_event’:
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:109: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: error: dereferencing pointer ‘p’ does break strict-aliasing rules
  util/session.c:697: note: initialized from here
  tools/perf/util/include/linux/bitops.h:101: note: initialized from here
  make[1]: *** [util/session.o] Error 1
  make: *** [util/session.o] Error 2

The aliased types here are u64 and unsigned long pointers, which is safe
for the find_first_bit processing.

This error shows up for me only for gcc 4.4 on 32bit x86, even for
-Wstrict-aliasing=3, while newer gcc are quiet and scream here for
-Wstrict-aliasing={2,1}. Looks like newer gcc changed the rules for
strict alias warnings.

The gcc documentation offers workaround for valid aliasing by using
__may_alias__ attribute:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.0/gcc/Type-Attributes.html



Using this workaround for the find_first_bit function.
