The xor_vmx.c file is used for the RAID5 xor operations. In these functions altivec is enabled to run the operation and then disabled. The code uses enable_kernel_altivec() around the core of the algorithm, however the whole file is built with -maltivec, so the compiler is within its rights to generate altivec code anywhere. This has been seen at least once in the wild: 0:mon> di $xor_altivec_2 c0000000000b97d0 3c4c01d9 addis r2,r12,473 c0000000000b97d4 3842db30 addi r2,r2,-9424 c0000000000b97d8 7c0802a6 mflr r0 c0000000000b97dc f8010010 std r0,16(r1) c0000000000b97e0 60000000 nop c0000000000b97e4 7c0802a6 mflr r0 c0000000000b97e8 faa1ffa8 std r21,-88(r1) ... c0000000000b981c f821ff41 stdu r1,-192(r1) c0000000000b9820 7f8101ce stvx v28,r1,r0 <-- POP c0000000000b9824 38000030 li r0,48 c0000000000b9828 7fa101ce stvx v29,r1,r0 ... c0000000000b984c 4bf6a06d bl c0000000000238b8 # enable_kernel_altivec This patch splits the non-altivec code into xor_vmx_glue.c which calls the altivec functions in xor_vmx.c. By compiling xor_vmx_glue.c without -maltivec we can guarantee that altivec instruction will not be executed outside of the enable/disable block.
