      x86/paravirt: Rename paravirt_patch_site::instrtype to paravirt_patch_site::type · 46938cc8
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      

It's used as 'type' in almost every paravirt patching function, so standardize
the field name from the somewhat weird 'instrtype' name to 'type'.

      x86/paravirt: Standardize 'insn_buff' variable names · 1fc654cf
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      

We currently have 6 (!) separate naming variants to name temporary instruction
buffers that are used for code patching:

 - insnbuf
 - insnbuff
 - insn_buff
 - insn_buffer
 - ibuf
 - ibuffer

These are used as local variables, percpu fields and function parameters.

Standardize all the names to a single variant: 'insn_buff'.

      x86/paravirt: Replace the paravirt patch asm magic · 0b9d2fc1
      Thomas Gleixner authored 
      

The magic macro DEF_NATIVE() in the paravirt patching code uses inline
assembly to generate a data table for patching in the native instructions.

While clever this is falling apart with LTO and even aside of LTO the
construct is just working by chance according to GCC folks.

Aside of that the tables are constant data and not some form of magic
text.

As these constructs are not subject to frequent changes it is not a
maintenance issue to convert them to regular data tables which are
initialized with hex bytes.

Create a new set of macros and data structures to store the instruction
sequences and convert the code over.

      x86/paravirt: Work around GCC inlining bugs when compiling paravirt ops · 494b5168
      Nadav Amit authored 
      As described in:

  77b0bf55

: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs")

GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in
kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining.

The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline
assembly block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as
a single instruction. (Which it isn't, but that's the best we can get.)

In this patch we wrap the paravirt call section tricks in a macro,
to hide it from GCC.

The effect of the patch is a more aggressive inlining, which also
causes a size increase of kernel.

      text     data     bss      dec     hex  filename
  18147336 10226688 2957312 31331336 1de1408  ./vmlinux before
  18162555 10226288 2957312 31346155 1de4deb  ./vmlinux after (+14819)

The number of static text symbols (non-inlined functions) goes down:

  Before: 40053
  After:  39942 (-111)

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored 
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard...

      x86/entry/64: Pass SP0 directly to load_sp0() · da51da18
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      

load_sp0() had an odd signature:

  void load_sp0(struct tss_struct *tss, struct thread_struct *thread);

Simplify it to:

  void load_sp0(unsigned long sp0);

Also simplify a few get_cpu()/put_cpu() sequences to
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable().

      x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang · f5caf621
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      

For inline asm statements which have a CALL instruction, we list the
stack pointer as a constraint to convince GCC to ensure the frame
pointer is set up first:

  static inline void foo()
  {
	register void *__sp asm(_ASM_SP);
	asm("call bar" : "+r" (__sp))
  }

Unfortunately, that pattern causes Clang to corrupt the stack pointer.

The fix is easy: convert the stack pointer register variable to a global
variable.

It should be noted that the end result is different based on the GCC
version.  With GCC 6.4, this patch has exactly the same result as
before:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940
 after	9820389		9491555		8816046		8516940

With GCC 7.2, however, GCC's behavior has changed.  It now changes its
behavior based on the conversion of the register variable to a global.
That somehow convinces it to *always* set up the frame pointer before
inserting *any* inline asm.  (Therefore, listing the variable as an
output constraint is a no-op and is no longer necessary.)  It's a bit
overkill, but the performance impact should be negligible.  And in fact,
there's a nice improvement with frame pointers disabled:

	defconfig	defconfig-nofp	distro		distro-nofp
 before	9796316		9468236		9076191		8790305
 after	9796957		9464267		9076381		8785949

So in summary, while listing the stack pointer as an output constraint
is no longer necessary for newer versions of GCC, it's still needed for
older versions.

      randstruct: opt-out externally exposed function pointer structs · 8acdf505
      Kees Cook authored 
      

Some function pointer structures are used externally to the kernel, like
the paravirt structures. These should never be randomized, so mark them
as such, in preparation for enabling randstruct's automatic selection
of all-function-pointer structures.

These markings are verbatim from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the
last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the
code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't
reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.

      x86/mm: Pass flush_tlb_info to flush_tlb_others() etc · a2055abe
      Andy Lutomirski authored 
      

Rather than passing all the contents of flush_tlb_info to
flush_tlb_others(), pass a pointer to the structure directly. For
consistency, this also removes the unnecessary cpu parameter from
uv_flush_tlb_others() to make its signature match the other
*flush_tlb_others() functions.

This serves two purposes:

 - It will dramatically simplify future patches that change struct
   flush_tlb_info, which I'm planning to do.

 - struct flush_tlb_info is an adequate description of what to do
   for a local flush, too, so by reusing it we can remove duplicated
   code between local and remove flushes in a future patch.

      x86/paravirt: Fix bool return type for PVOP_CALL() · 11f254db
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      Commit:

  3cded417 ("x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()")

introduced a paravirt op with bool return type [*]

It turns out that the PVOP_CALL*() macros miscompile when rettype is
bool. Code that looked like:

   83 ef 01                sub    $0x1,%edi
   ff 15 32 a0 d8 00       callq  *0xd8a032(%rip)        # ffffffff81e28120 <pv_lock_ops+0x20>
   84 c0                   test   %al,%al

ended up looking like so after PVOP_CALL1() was applied:

   83 ef 01                sub    $0x1,%edi
   48 63 ff                movslq %edi,%rdi
   ff 14 25 20 81 e2 81    callq  *0xffffffff81e28120
   48 85 c0                test   %rax,%rax

Note how it tests the whole of %rax, even though a typical bool return
function only sets %al, like:

  0f 95 c0                setne  %al
  c3                      retq

This is because ____PVOP_CALL() does:

		__ret = (rettype)__eax;

and while regular integer type casts truncate the result, a cast to
bool tests for any !0 value. Fix this by explicitly truncating to
sizeof(rettype) before casting.

[*] The actual bug should've been exposed in commit:
      446f3dc8

 ("locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests")
    but that didn't properly implement the paravirt call.

Avoid the pointless function call to pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()
when a paravirt spinlock enabled kernel is ran on native hardware.

Do this by patching out the CALL instruction with "XOR %RAX,%RAX"
which has the same effect (0 return value).

      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      

We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:

  * Intel MID
  * Lguest - uses paravirt
  * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
  * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag

We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.

For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.

As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text    x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70     +62    +62          +43

Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

      x86/paravirt: Add stack frame dependency to PVOP inline asm calls · bb93eb4c
      Josh Poimboeuf authored 
      

If a PVOP call macro is inlined at the beginning of a function, gcc can
insert the call instruction before setting up a stack frame, which
breaks frame pointer convention if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled and
can result in a bad stack trace.

Force a stack frame to be created if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled by
listing the stack pointer as an output operand for the PVOP inline asm
statements.

      x86/paravirt: Prevent rtc_cmos platform device init on PV guests · d8c98a1d
      David Vrabel authored 
      

Adding the rtc platform device in non-privileged Xen PV guests causes
an IRQ conflict because these guests do not have legacy PIC and may
allocate irqs in the legacy range.

In a single VCPU Xen PV guest we should have:

/proc/interrupts:
           CPU0
  0:       4934  xen-percpu-virq      timer0
  1:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       spinlock0
  2:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       resched0
  3:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       callfunc0
  4:          0  xen-percpu-virq      debug0
  5:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       callfuncsingle0
  6:          0  xen-percpu-ipi       irqwork0
  7:        321   xen-dyn-event     xenbus
  8:         90   xen-dyn-event     hvc_console
  ...

But hvc_console cannot get its interrupt because it is already in use
by rtc0 and the console does not work.

  genirq: Flags mismatch irq 8. 00000000 (hvc_console) vs. 00000000 (rtc0)

We can avoid this problem by realizing that unprivileged PV guests (both
Xen and lguests) are not supposed to have rtc_cmos device and so
adding it is not necessary.

Privileged guests (i.e. Xen's dom0) do use it but they should not have
irq conflicts since they allocate irqs above legacy range (above
gsi_top, in fact).

Instead of explicitly testing whether the guest is privileged we can
extend pv_info structure to include information about guest's RTC
support.
