SPI: length of word only power of two #75

Hello,
Why it is not possible to use any word length? Lot of SPI modules are able to work with it.
https://github.com/beagleboard/linux/blob/master/drivers/spi/spi.c#L1859

Could someone propose some easy workaround how to use SPI with odd number of bits in word?

It is likely that most other SPI modules are indeed actually enforcing a proper word limit for transfers, and are just abstracting that fact away by padding the requested transmission to be a multiple of a power of 2 bits.

"Many SPI chips only support messages that are multiples of 8 bits. Such chips can not interoperate with the JTAG or SGPIO protocols, or any other protocol that requires messages that are not multiples of 8 bits." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface_Bus#Standards

commit e814349 upstream.

____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() provides a generic exception fixup
handler that is used to cleanly handle faults on VMX/SVM instructions
during reboot (or at least try to).  If there isn't a reboot in
progress, ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() treats any exception as
fatal to KVM and invokes kvm_spurious_fault(), which in turn generates
a BUG() to get a stack trace and die.

When it was originally added by commit 4ecac3f ("KVM: Handle
virtualization instruction #UD faults during reboot"), the "call" to
kvm_spurious_fault() was handcoded as PUSH+JMP, where the PUSH'd value
is the RIP of the faulting instructing.

The PUSH+JMP trickery is necessary because the exception fixup handler
code lies outside of its associated function, e.g. right after the
function.  An actual CALL from the .fixup code would show a slightly
bogus stack trace, e.g. an extra "random" function would be inserted
into the trace, as the return RIP on the stack would point to no known
function (and the unwinder will likely try to guess who owns the RIP).

Unfortunately, the JMP was replaced with a CALL when the macro was
reworked to not spin indefinitely during reboot (commit b7c4145
"KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot").  This
causes the aforementioned behavior where a bogus function is inserted
into the stack trace, e.g. my builds like to blame free_kvm_area().

Revert the CALL back to a JMP.  The changelog for commit b7c4145
("KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot") contains
nothing that indicates the switch to CALL was deliberate.  This is
backed up by the fact that the PUSH <insn RIP> was left intact.

Note that an alternative to the PUSH+JMP magic would be to JMP back
to the "real" code and CALL from there, but that would require adding
a JMP in the non-faulting path to avoid calling kvm_spurious_fault()
and would add no value, i.e. the stack trace would be the same.
