[PATCH v5] x86, mem: move memmove to out of line assembler
Posted by Nick Desaulniers 1 year, 6 months ago
When building ARCH=i386 with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y, it's possible
(depending on additional configs which I have not been able to isolate)
to observe a failure during register allocation:

  error: inline assembly requires more registers than available

when memmove is inlined into tcp_v4_fill_cb() or tcp_v6_fill_cb().

memmove is quite large and probably shouldn't be inlined due to size
alone. A noinline function attribute would be the simplest fix, but
there's a few things that stand out with the current definition:

In addition to having complex constraints that can't always be resolved,
the clobber list seems to be missing %bx. By using numbered operands
rather than symbolic operands, the constraints are quite obnoxious to
refactor.

Having a large function be 99% inline asm is a code smell that this
function should simply be written in stand-alone out-of-line assembler.

Moving this to out of line assembler guarantees that the
compiler cannot inline calls to memmove.

This has been done previously for 64b:
commit 9599ec0471de ("x86-64, mem: Convert memmove() to assembly file
and fix return value bug")

That gives the opportunity for other cleanups like fixing the
inconsistent use of tabs vs spaces and instruction suffixes, and the
label 3 appearing twice.  Symbolic operands, local labels, and
additional comments would provide this code with a fresh coat of paint.

Finally, add a test that tickles the `rep movsl` implementation to test
it for correctness, since it has implicit operands.

Changes v4 -> v5:
* Reword+reorder commit message, in particular drop the "maybe" language
  around %dx and %cl clobber, now that I know of arch/x86/entry/calling.h.
* Drop most of my previous comments about caller vs. callee saved, as
  per Ingo, and use Ingo's comments verbatim.
* Reference arch/x86/entry/calling.h in comment.
* Reorder pushl/popl. NFC
* Rename labels as per David. 16_byteswap -> move_16B
* Use /* comments */ more consistently, as per Ingo.
* Add Ingo's+David's SB tags.
* Carry forward Kees' RB/TB tags.

Changes v3 -> v4:
* Fix bug I introduced in v1 when I changed src and dest to use
  different scratch registers, which breaks `rep movsl` as pointed out
  by Rasmus. This requires 2 `movl`s earlier on, changing the tmp
  registers, then adjusting which registers we save/restore by the
  calling convention. I intentionally did not carry forward tags from
  Kees from v3 due to this bug.
* Add a Kunit test that hangs on v3, but passes on v4. It uses a few
  magic constants as well in order to test the `rep movsl` paths.

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Fix bug I introduced in v1 when I changed one of temp register
  operands for one of the two instructions performing a mem to mem swap,
  but not the other instruction's operand, and discovered by Kees.
  Verified KUnit memcpy tests are passing via:
  $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch=i386 --make_options LLVM=1
  $ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch=i386
  Fixed by using symbolic identifiers rather than open coded registers
  for the less-than-word-size temporary registers.
* Expand the comment about callee saved registers on i386 with a
  reference to the psABI.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Add reference to 9599ec0471de in commit message.
* Include asm/export.h then make sure to EXPORT_SYMBOL(memmove).
