x86/asm/entry: Move arch/x86/include/asm/calling.h to arch/x86/entry/

2015-06-04T05:37:36+00:00

asm/calling.h is private to the entry code, make this more apparent
by moving it to the new arch/x86/entry/ directory.

x86/asm/entry/64: Use negative immediates for stack adjustments

2015-06-02T08:10:09+00:00

Doing so allows adjustments by 128 bytes (occurring for
REMOVE_PT_GPREGS_FROM_STACK 8 uses) to be expressed with a
single byte immediate.

x86/debug: Remove perpetually broken, unmaintainable dwarf annotations

2015-06-02T05:57:48+00:00

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.

These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.

In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.

So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:

   27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)

Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:

 - it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
   'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.

 - find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
   automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
   instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
   be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
   looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
   the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
   We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
   that makes sense.

 - it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
   CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
   the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
   done on the dwarf side.

x86/asm/entry: Clear EXTRA_REGS for all executable formats

2015-04-06T07:24:08+00:00

On failure, sys_execve() does not clobber EXTRA_REGS, so we can
just return to userpsace without saving/restoring them.

On success, ELF_PLAT_INIT() in sys_execve() clears all these
registers.

On other executable formats:

  - binfmt_flat.c has similar FLAT_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and everyone
    else except sh) doesn't define it.

  - binfmt_elf_fdpic.c has ELF_FDPIC_PLAT_INIT, but x86 (and most
    others) doesn't define it.

  - There are no such hooks in binfmt_aout.c et al. We inherit
    EXTRA_REGS from the prior executable.

This inconsistency was not intended.

This change removes SAVE/RESTORE_EXTRA_REGS in stub_execve,
removes register clearing in ELF_PLAT_INIT(),
and instead simply clears them on success in stub_execve.

Run-tested.

x86/asm/entry/64: Save R11 into pt_regs->flags on SYSCALL64 fastpath

2015-03-10T12:56:10+00:00

Before this patch, R11 was saved in pt_regs->r11.

Which looks natural, but requires messy shuffling to/from iret
frame whenever ptrace or e.g. sys_iopl() wants to modify flags -
because that's how this register is used by SYSCALL/SYSRET.

This patch saves R11 in pt_regs->flags, and uses that value for
the SYSRET64 instruction. Shuffling is eliminated.

FIXUP/RESTORE_TOP_OF_STACK are simplified.

stub_iopl is no longer needed: pt_regs->flags needs no fixing up.

Testing shows that syscall fast path is ~54.3 ns before
and after the patch (on 2.7 GHz Sandy Bridge CPU).

x86/asm/entry/64: Simplify optimistic SYSRET

2015-03-04T21:50:52+00:00

Avoid redundant load of %r11 (it is already loaded a few
instructions before).

Also simplify %rsp restoration, instead of two steps:

         add $0x80, %rsp
         mov 0x18(%rsp), %rsp

we can do a simplified single step to restore user-space RSP:

         mov 0x98(%rsp), %rsp

and get the same result.

x86/asm/entry/64: Use more readable constants

2015-03-04T21:50:52+00:00

Constants such as SS+8 or SS+8-RIP are mysterious.
In most cases, SS+8 is just meant to be SIZEOF_PTREGS,
SS+8-RIP is RIP's offset in the iret frame.

This patch changes some of these constants to be less
mysterious.

No code changes (verified with objdump).

x86/asm/entry: Do mass removal of 'ARGOFFSET'

2015-03-04T21:50:50+00:00

ARGOFFSET is zero now, removing it changes no code.

A few macros lost "offset" parameter, since it is always zero
now too.

No code changes - verified with objdump.

x86/asm/entry/64: Always allocate a complete "struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack

2015-03-04T21:50:49+00:00

The 64-bit entry code was using six stack slots less by not
saving/restoring registers which are callee-preserved according
to the C ABI, and was not allocating space for them.

Only when syscalls needed a complete "struct pt_regs" was
the complete area allocated and filled in.

As an additional twist, on interrupt entry a "slightly less
truncated pt_regs" trick is used, to make nested interrupt
stacks easier to unwind.

This proved to be a source of significant obfuscation and subtle
bugs. For example, 'stub_fork' had to pop the return address,
extend the struct, save registers, and push return address back.
Ugly. 'ia32_ptregs_common' pops return address and "returns" via
jmp insn, throwing a wrench into CPU return stack cache.

This patch changes the code to always allocate a complete
"struct pt_regs" on the kernel stack. The saving of registers
is still done lazily.

"Partial pt_regs" trick on interrupt stack is retained.

Macros which manipulate "struct pt_regs" on stack are reworked:

 - ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK allocates the structure.

 - SAVE_C_REGS saves to it those registers which are clobbered
   by C code.

 - SAVE_EXTRA_REGS saves to it all other registers.

 - Corresponding RESTORE_* and REMOVE_PT_GPREGS_FROM_STACK macros
   reverse it.

'ia32_ptregs_common', 'stub_fork' and friends lost their ugly dance
with the return pointer.

LOAD_ARGS32 in ia32entry.S now uses symbolic stack offsets
instead of magic numbers.

'error_entry' and 'save_paranoid' now use SAVE_C_REGS +
SAVE_EXTRA_REGS instead of having it open-coded yet again.

Patch was run-tested: 64-bit executables, 32-bit executables,
strace works.

Timing tests did not show measurable difference in 32-bit
and 64-bit syscalls.

x86/asm: Introduce push/pop macros which generate CFI_REL_OFFSET and CFI_RESTORE

2015-03-04T21:50:49+00:00

Sequences:

        pushl_cfi %reg
        CFI_REL_OFFSET reg, 0

and:

        popl_cfi %reg
        CFI_RESTORE reg

happen quite often. This patch adds macros which generate them.

No assembly changes (verified with objdump -dr vmlinux.o).
