commit ea51d132dbf9b00063169c1159bee253d9649224 upstream. If the pte mapping in generic_perform_write() is unmapped between iov_iter_fault_in_readable() and iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(), the "copied" parameter to ->end_write can be zero. ext4 couldn't cope with it with delayed allocations enabled.

It wouldn't normally trigger but I don't see why it can't happen normally if the page is added to swap cache in between the two faults leading to "copied" being zero (which then hangs in ext4). So it should be fixed. Especially possible with lumpy reclaim (albeit disabled if compaction is enabled) as that would ignore the young bits in the ptes.

…S block during isolation for migration commit 0bf380bc70ecba68cb4d74dc656cc2fa8c4d801a upstream. When isolating for migration, migration starts at the start of a zone which is not necessarily pageblock aligned. Further, it stops isolating when COMPACT_CLUSTER_MAX pages are isolated so migrate_pfn is generally not aligned. This allows isolate_migratepages() to call pfn_to_page() on an invalid PFN which can result in a crash. This was originally reported against a 3.0-based kernel with the following trace in a crash dump.

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 01c00008 IP: [<c0522399>] isolate_migratepages+0x119/0x390 *pdpt = 000000002f7ce001 *pde = 0000000000000000 It is expected that it also affects 3.2.x and current mainline. The problem is that pfn_valid is only called on the first PFN being checked and that PFN is not necessarily aligned. Lets say we have a case like this H = MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundary | = pageblock boundary m = cc->migrate_pfn f = cc->free_pfn o = memory hole H------|------H------|----m-Hoooooo|ooooooH-f----|------H The migrate_pfn is just below a memory hole and the free scanner is beyond the hole. When isolate_migratepages started, it scans from migrate_pfn to migrate_pfn+pageblock_nr_pages which is now in a memory hole. It checks pfn_valid() on the first PFN but then scans into the hole where there are not necessarily valid struct pages. This patch ensures that isolate_migratepages calls pfn_valid when necessary.

…condition commit 26c191788f18129af0eb32a358cdaea0c7479626 upstream. When holding the mmap_sem for reading, pmd_offset_map_lock should only run on a pmd_t that has been read atomically from the pmdp pointer, otherwise we may read only half of it leading to this crash.

Only archs with 64bit large pmd_t and 32bit unsigned long should be affected. With THP enabled the barrier() in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() would partly hide the bug when the pmd transition from none to stable, by forcing a re-read of the *pmd in pmd_offset_map_lock, but when THP is enabled a new set of problem arises by the fact could then transition freely in any of the none, pmd_trans_huge or pmd_trans_stable states. So making the barrier in pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() unconditional isn't good idea and it would be a flakey solution. This should be fully fixed by introducing a pmd_read_atomic that reads the pmd in order with THP disabled, or by reading the pmd atomically with cmpxchg8b with THP enabled. Luckily this new race condition only triggers in the places that must already be covered by pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() so the fix is localized there but this bug is not related to THP. NOTE: this can trigger on x86 32bit systems with PAE enabled with more than 4G of ram, otherwise the high part of the pmd will never risk to be truncated because it would be zero at all times, in turn so hiding the SMP race. This bug was discovered and fully debugged by Ulrich, quote: ---- [..] pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() loads the content of edx and eax. 496 static inline int pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(pmd_t *pmd) 497 { 498 /* depend on compiler for an atomic pmd read */ 499 pmd_t pmdval = *pmd; // edi = pmd pointer 0xc0507a74 <sys_mincore+548>: mov 0x8(%esp),%edi ... // edx = PTE page table high address 0xc0507a84 <sys_mincore+564>: mov 0x4(%edi),%edx ... // eax = PTE page table low address 0xc0507a8e <sys_mincore+574>: mov (%edi),%eax [..] Please note that the PMD is not read atomically. These are two "mov" instructions where the high order bits of the PMD entry are fetched first. Hence, the above machine code is prone to the following race. - The PMD entry {high|low} is 0x0000000000000000. The "mov" at 0xc0507a84 loads 0x00000000 into edx. - A page fault (on another CPU) sneaks in between the two "mov" instructions and instantiates the PMD. - The PMD entry {high|low} is now 0x00000003fda38067.

Fix this by setting PF_FSTRANS on the workqueue task prior to doing the socket allocation, and having nfs_release_page check for that flag when deciding whether to do a commit call. Also, set PF_FSTRANS unconditionally in rpc_async_schedule since that function can also do allocations sometimes.

With both applied, all you have to do to crash a box is disable autogroup during boot up, then reboot.. boom, NULL pointer dereference due to commit 800d4d3 not allowing autogroup to move things, and commit 8323f26ce342 making that the only way to switch runqueues: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81063ac0>] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Pid: 7047, comm: systemd-user-se Not tainted 3.6.8-smp keyodi#7 MEDIONPC MS-7502/MS-7502 RIP: effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 Process systemd-user-se (pid: 7047, threadinfo ffff880221dde000, task ffff88022618b3a0) Call Trace: select_task_rq_fair+0x255/0x780 try_to_wake_up+0x156/0x2c0 wake_up_state+0xb/0x10 signal_wake_up+0x28/0x40 complete_signal+0x1d6/0x250 __send_signal+0x170/0x310 send_signal+0x40/0x80 do_send_sig_info+0x47/0x90 group_send_sig_info+0x4a/0x70 kill_pid_info+0x3a/0x60 sys_kill+0x97/0x1a0 ? vfs_read+0x120/0x160 ? sys_read+0x45/0x90 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: 49 0f af 41 50 31 d2 49 f7 f0 48 83 f8 01 48 0f 46 c6 48 2b 07 48 8b bf 40 01 00 00 48 85 ff 74 3a 45 31 c0 48 8b 8f 50 01 00 00 <48> 8b 11 4c 8b 89 80 00 00 00 49 89 d2 48 01 d0 45 8b 59 58 4c RIP [<ffffffff81063ac0>] effective_load.isra.43+0x50/0x90 RSP <ffff880221ddfbd8> CR2: 0000000000000000 Signed-off-by: Mike Galbraith <[email protected]> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: Yong Zhang <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

commit e971318bbed610e28bb3fde9d548e6aaf0a6b02e upstream. Some firmware exhibits a bug where the same VariableName and VendorGuid values are returned on multiple invocations of GetNextVariableName().

commit ea3768b4386a8d1790f4cc9a35de4f55b92d6442 upstream. We used to keep the port's char device structs and the /sys entries around till the last reference to the port was dropped. This is actually unnecessary, and resulted in buggy behaviour: 1. Open port in guest 2. Hot-unplug port 3. Hot-plug a port with the same 'name' property as the unplugged one This resulted in hot-plug being unsuccessful, as a port with the same name already exists (even though it was unplugged). This behaviour resulted in a warning message like this one: -------------------8<--------------------------------------- WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:512 sysfs_add_one+0xc9/0x130() (Not tainted) Hardware name: KVM sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/virtio0/virtio-ports/vport0p1' Call Trace: [<ffffffff8106b607>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x87/0xc0 [<ffffffff8106b6f6>] ? warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff811f2319>] ? sysfs_add_one+0xc9/0x130 [<ffffffff811f23e8>] ? create_dir+0x68/0xb0 [<ffffffff811f2469>] ? sysfs_create_dir+0x39/0x50 [<ffffffff81273129>] ? kobject_add_internal+0xb9/0x260 [<ffffffff812733d8>] ? kobject_add_varg+0x38/0x60 [<ffffffff812734b4>] ? kobject_add+0x44/0x70 [<ffffffff81349de4>] ? get_device_parent+0xf4/0x1d0 [<ffffffff8134b389>] ? device_add+0xc9/0x650 -------------------8<--------------------------------------- Instead of relying on guest applications to release all references to the ports, we should go ahead and unregister the port from all the core layers. Any open/read calls on the port will then just return errors, and an unplug/plug operation on the host will succeed as expected. This also caused buggy behaviour in case of the device removal (not just a port): when the device was removed (which means all ports on that device are removed automatically as well), the ports with active users would clean up only when the last references were dropped -- and it would be too late then to be referencing char device pointers, resulting in oopses: -------------------8<--------------------------------------- PID: 6162 TASK: ffff8801147ad500 CPU: 0 COMMAND: "cat" #0 [ffff88011b9d5a90] machine_kexec at ffffffff8103232b keyodi#1 [ffff88011b9d5af0] crash_kexec at ffffffff810b9322 keyodi#2 [ffff88011b9d5bc0] oops_end at ffffffff814f4a50 keyodi#3 [ffff88011b9d5bf0] die at ffffffff8100f26b keyodi#4 [ffff88011b9d5c20] do_general_protection at ffffffff814f45e2 keyodi#5 [ffff88011b9d5c50] general_protection at ffffffff814f3db5 [exception RIP: strlen+2] RIP: ffffffff81272ae2 RSP: ffff88011b9d5d00 RFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff880118901c18 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffff88011799982c RSI: 00000000000000d0 RDI: 3a303030302f3030 RBP: ffff88011b9d5d38 R8: 0000000000000006 R9: ffffffffa0134500 R10: 0000000000001000 R11: 0000000000001000 R12: ffff880117a1cc10 R13: 00000000000000d0 R14: 0000000000000017 R15: ffffffff81aff700 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 keyodi#6 [ffff88011b9d5d00] kobject_get_path at ffffffff8126dc5d keyodi#7 [ffff88011b9d5d40] kobject_uevent_env at ffffffff8126e551 keyodi#8 [ffff88011b9d5dd0] kobject_uevent at ffffffff8126e9eb keyodi#9 [ffff88011b9d5de0] device_del at ffffffff813440c7 -------------------8<--------------------------------------- So clean up when we have all the context, and all that's left to do when the references to the port have dropped is to free up the port struct itself.

This moves ARM over to the asm-generic/unaligned.h header. This has the benefit of better code generated especially for ARMv7 on gcc 4.7+ compilers. As Arnd Bergmann, points out: The asm-generic version uses the "struct" version for native-endian unaligned access and the "byteshift" version for the opposite endianess. The current ARM version however uses the "byteshift" implementation for both. Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for the excellent analysis: Test case: int foo (int *x) { return get_unaligned(x); } long long bar (long long *x) { return get_unaligned(x); } With the current ARM version: foo: ldrb r3, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B] ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B] ldrb r2, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] mov r3, r3, asl #16 @ tmp154, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], ldrb r0, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B] orr r3, r3, r1, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp155, tmp154, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], orr r3, r3, r2 @ tmp157, tmp155, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] orr r0, r3, r0, asl #24 @,, tmp157, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], bx lr @ bar: stmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} @, mov r2, #0 @ tmp184, ldrb r5, [r0, keyodi#6] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 6B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 6B] ldrb r4, [r0, keyodi#5] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 5B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 5B] ldrb ip, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B] ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#4] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 4B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 4B] mov r5, r5, asl #16 @ tmp175, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 6B], ldrb r7, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B] orr r5, r5, r4, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp176, tmp175, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 5B], ldrb r6, [r0, keyodi#7] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 7B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 7B] orr r5, r5, r1 @ tmp178, tmp176, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 4B] ldrb r4, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] mov ip, ip, asl #16 @ tmp188, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B] orr ip, ip, r7, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp189, tmp188, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], orr r3, r5, r6, asl #24 @,, tmp178, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 7B], orr ip, ip, r4 @ tmp191, tmp189, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] orr ip, ip, r1, asl #24 @, tmp194, tmp191, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], mov r1, r3 @, orr r0, r2, ip @ tmp171, tmp184, tmp194 ldmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} bx lr In both cases the code is slightly suboptimal. One may wonder why wasting r2 with the constant 0 in the second case for example. And all the mov's could be folded in subsequent orr's, etc. Now with the asm-generic version: foo: ldr r0, [r0, #0] @ unaligned @,* x bx lr @ bar: mov r3, r0 @ x, x ldr r0, [r0, #0] @ unaligned @,* x ldr r1, [r3, keyodi#4] @ unaligned @, bx lr @ This is way better of course, but only because this was compiled for ARMv7. In this case the compiler knows that the hardware can do unaligned word access. This isn't that obvious for foo(), but if we remove the get_unaligned() from bar as follows: long long bar (long long *x) {return *x; } then the resulting code is: bar: ldmia r0, {r0, r1} @ x,, bx lr @ So this proves that the presumed aligned vs unaligned cases does have influence on the instructions the compiler may use and that the above unaligned code results are not just an accident. Still... this isn't fully conclusive without at least looking at the resulting assembly fron a pre ARMv6 compilation. Let's see with an ARMv5 target: foo: ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp139,* x ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp140, ldrb r2, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp143, ldrb r0, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp146, orr r3, r3, r1, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp142, tmp139, tmp140, orr r3, r3, r2, asl #16 @, tmp145, tmp142, tmp143, orr r0, r3, r0, asl #24 @,, tmp145, tmp146, bx lr @ bar: stmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} @, ldrb r2, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp139,* x ldrb r7, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp140, ldrb r3, [r0, keyodi#4] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp149, ldrb r6, [r0, keyodi#5] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp150, ldrb r5, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp143, ldrb r4, [r0, keyodi#6] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp153, ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#7] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp156, ldrb ip, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp146, orr r2, r2, r7, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp142, tmp139, tmp140, orr r3, r3, r6, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp152, tmp149, tmp150, orr r2, r2, r5, asl #16 @, tmp145, tmp142, tmp143, orr r3, r3, r4, asl #16 @, tmp155, tmp152, tmp153, orr r0, r2, ip, asl #24 @,, tmp145, tmp146, orr r1, r3, r1, asl #24 @,, tmp155, tmp156, ldmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} bx lr Compared to the initial results, this is really nicely optimized and I couldn't do much better if I were to hand code it myself.

Well, it covered the function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function tracer. The gain was not worth this). The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after __register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed. Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

The way it is triggered is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size. Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory. Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

This moves ARM over to the asm-generic/unaligned.h header. This has the benefit of better code generated especially for ARMv7 on gcc 4.7+ compilers. As Arnd Bergmann, points out: The asm-generic version uses the "struct" version for native-endian unaligned access and the "byteshift" version for the opposite endianess. The current ARM version however uses the "byteshift" implementation for both. Thanks to Nicolas Pitre for the excellent analysis: Test case: int foo (int *x) { return get_unaligned(x); } long long bar (long long *x) { return get_unaligned(x); } With the current ARM version: foo: ldrb r3, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B] ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B] ldrb r2, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] mov r3, r3, asl #16 @ tmp154, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], ldrb r0, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B] orr r3, r3, r1, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp155, tmp154, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], orr r3, r3, r2 @ tmp157, tmp155, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] orr r0, r3, r0, asl #24 @,, tmp157, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], bx lr @ bar: stmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} @, mov r2, #0 @ tmp184, ldrb r5, [r0, keyodi#6] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 6B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 6B] ldrb r4, [r0, keyodi#5] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 5B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 5B] ldrb ip, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B] ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#4] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 4B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 4B] mov r5, r5, asl #16 @ tmp175, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 6B], ldrb r7, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B] orr r5, r5, r4, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp176, tmp175, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 5B], ldrb r6, [r0, keyodi#7] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 7B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 7B] orr r5, r5, r1 @ tmp178, tmp176, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 4B] ldrb r4, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] mov ip, ip, asl #16 @ tmp188, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 2B], ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B] orr ip, ip, r7, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp189, tmp188, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 1B], orr r3, r5, r6, asl #24 @,, tmp178, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 7B], orr ip, ip, r4 @ tmp191, tmp189, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D)] orr ip, ip, r1, asl #24 @, tmp194, tmp191, MEM[(const u8 *)x_1(D) + 3B], mov r1, r3 @, orr r0, r2, ip @ tmp171, tmp184, tmp194 ldmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} bx lr In both cases the code is slightly suboptimal. One may wonder why wasting r2 with the constant 0 in the second case for example. And all the mov's could be folded in subsequent orr's, etc. Now with the asm-generic version: foo: ldr r0, [r0, #0] @ unaligned @,* x bx lr @ bar: mov r3, r0 @ x, x ldr r0, [r0, #0] @ unaligned @,* x ldr r1, [r3, keyodi#4] @ unaligned @, bx lr @ This is way better of course, but only because this was compiled for ARMv7. In this case the compiler knows that the hardware can do unaligned word access. This isn't that obvious for foo(), but if we remove the get_unaligned() from bar as follows: long long bar (long long *x) {return *x; } then the resulting code is: bar: ldmia r0, {r0, r1} @ x,, bx lr @ So this proves that the presumed aligned vs unaligned cases does have influence on the instructions the compiler may use and that the above unaligned code results are not just an accident. Still... this isn't fully conclusive without at least looking at the resulting assembly fron a pre ARMv6 compilation. Let's see with an ARMv5 target: foo: ldrb r3, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp139,* x ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp140, ldrb r2, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp143, ldrb r0, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp146, orr r3, r3, r1, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp142, tmp139, tmp140, orr r3, r3, r2, asl #16 @, tmp145, tmp142, tmp143, orr r0, r3, r0, asl #24 @,, tmp145, tmp146, bx lr @ bar: stmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} @, ldrb r2, [r0, #0] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp139,* x ldrb r7, [r0, keyodi#1] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp140, ldrb r3, [r0, keyodi#4] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp149, ldrb r6, [r0, keyodi#5] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp150, ldrb r5, [r0, keyodi#2] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp143, ldrb r4, [r0, keyodi#6] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp153, ldrb r1, [r0, keyodi#7] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp156, ldrb ip, [r0, keyodi#3] @ zero_extendqisi2 @ tmp146, orr r2, r2, r7, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp142, tmp139, tmp140, orr r3, r3, r6, asl keyodi#8 @, tmp152, tmp149, tmp150, orr r2, r2, r5, asl #16 @, tmp145, tmp142, tmp143, orr r3, r3, r4, asl #16 @, tmp155, tmp152, tmp153, orr r0, r2, ip, asl #24 @,, tmp145, tmp146, orr r1, r3, r1, asl #24 @,, tmp155, tmp156, ldmfd sp!, {r4, r5, r6, r7} bx lr Compared to the initial results, this is really nicely optimized and I couldn't do much better if I were to hand code it myself.
