This patch series includes the following:
1. Adding compiler options to not use XMM registers in the purgatory code. 2. Reuse the implementation of memcpy and memset instead of relying on __builtin_memcpy and __builtin_memset as it causes infinite recursion in clang.
Nick Desaulniers (1): x86/purgatory: do not use __builtin_memcpy and __builtin_memset.
Vaibhav Rustagi (1): x86/purgatory: add -mno-sse, -mno-mmx, -mno-sse2 to Makefile

(Note that arch/x86/Makefile additionally sets -mno-3dnow and -mno-avx (if supported by the compiler). Not sure if the maintainers would like a v2 with those added, and we don't strictly need them yet, but we may someday).

Good point, it's actually pretty straightforward to do so. It just will invert the order of patches in the series, as then the memcpy/memset infinite recursion is now guaranteed with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE=y (without the other patch in this series). Did the x86 maintainers have thoughts on their favorite implementation of memset/memcpy for me to use from the thread from the other patch in the series? I'll just resend with this fix and maybe we can discuss there and spin a v3 if needed.
From: Nick Desaulniers ndesaulniers@google.com
Implementing memcpy and memset in terms of __builtin_memcpy and __builtin_memset is problematic.
GCC at -O2 will replace calls to the builtins with calls to memcpy and memset (but will generate an inline implementation at -Os). Clang will replace the builtins with these calls regardless of optimization level.
$ llvm-objdump -dr arch/x86/purgatory/string.o | tail
0000000000000339 memcpy: 339: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabsq $0, %rax 000000000000033b: R_X86_64_64 memcpy 343: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
0000000000000345 memset: 345: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabsq $0, %rax 0000000000000347: R_X86_64_64 memset 34f: ff e0
Such code results in infinite recursion at runtime. This is observed when doing kexec.
Instead, reuse an implementation from arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c if we define warn as a symbol.

Just so it's crystal clear to other reviewers, consider this codegen between compilers and optimization levels: https://godbolt.org/z/jcfKsw So I'd imagine the commit that introduced these implementations very much relied on being compiled at -Os to work.
Instead, reuse an implementation from arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c if we define warn as a symbol.

but then Alistair pointed out that we have a proliferation of memcpy+memest definitions in the kernel, and we should probably just reuse an existing one rather than add to the arms race.

This is the one part I feel bad about; memcpy() in arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c calls warn() which would result in an undefined symbol in purgatory.ro. Maybe there's a preferred solution, or this is ok for purgatory/kexec? There's other x86 memsets+memcpys, but IMO this is the smallest incision without playing the satisfy-the-symbol-dependencies game.
If the maintainers are ok with this, then the series looks ready to go to me. Thanks for debugging/sending Vaibhav.
Orthogonally, I showed Hans Boehm the pointer comparisons+subtraction in arch/x86/boot/compressed/string.c's memcpy asking about pointer provenance issues (https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/ARR36-C.+Do+not+subtract+or+co..., http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2090.htm) introduced in commit 00ec2c37031e ("x86/boot: Warn on future overlapping memcpy() use") and he started cursing in Spanish (I don't think he speaks Spanish) and performed the sign of the cross. Y'all need <strikethrough>Jesus</strikethrough>[u]intptr_t.

Thanks for the series, and debugging and finding the issue. These would explain why I couldn't get kexec to work with Clang built kernels. Comments/reviews inbound on the individual patches.
