compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro

2020-07-16T19:35:31+00:00

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

As recommended[2] by[3] Linus[4], remove the macro. With the recent
change to disable -Wmaybe-uninitialized in v5.7 in commit 78a5255ffb6a
("Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized"), this is likely
the best time to make this treewide change.

Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9

2020-07-08T17:48:35+00:00

I realize that we fairly recently raised it to 4.8, but the fact is, 4.9
is a much better minimum version to target.

We have a number of workarounds for actual bugs in pre-4.9 gcc versions
(including things like internal compiler errors on ARM), but we also
have some syntactic workarounds for lacking features.

In particular, raising the minimum to 4.9 means that we can now just
assume _Generic() exists, which is likely the much better replacement
for a lot of very convoluted built-time magic with conditionals on
sizeof and/or __builtin_choose_expr() with same_type() etc.

Using _Generic also means that you will need to have a very recent
version of 'sparse', but thats easy to build yourself, and much less of
a hassle than some old gcc version can be.

The latest (in a long string) of reasons for minimum compiler version
upgrades was commit 5435f73d5c4a ("efi/x86: Fix build with gcc 4").

Ard points out that RHEL 7 uses gcc-4.8, but the people who stay back on
old RHEL versions persumably also don't build their own kernels anyway.
And maybe they should cross-built or just have a little side affair with
a newer compiler?

compiler_types.h: Add __no_sanitize_{address,undefined} to noinstr

2020-06-15T12:10:09+00:00

Adds the portable definitions for __no_sanitize_address, and
__no_sanitize_undefined, and subsequently changes noinstr to use the
attributes to disable instrumentation via KASAN or UBSAN.

Rebase locking/kcsan to locking/urgent

2020-06-11T18:02:46+00:00

Merge the state of the locking kcsan branch before the read/write_once()
and the atomics modifications got merged.

Squash the fallout of the rebase on top of the read/write once and atomic
fallback work into the merge. The history of the original branch is
preserved in tag locking-kcsan-2020-06-02.

compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8

2020-04-15T20:36:20+00:00

It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build
the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen
issues which can lead to silent miscompilation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some
tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.

kcsan: Add __no_kcsan function attribute

2020-01-07T15:47:23+00:00

Since the use of -fsanitize=thread is an implementation detail of KCSAN,
the name __no_sanitize_thread could be misleading if used widely.
Instead, we introduce the __no_kcsan attribute which is shorter and more
accurate in the context of KCSAN.

This matches the attribute name __no_kcsan_or_inline. The use of
__kcsan_or_inline itself is still required for __always_inline functions
to retain compatibility with older compilers.

kcsan: Add Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer infrastructure

2019-11-16T15:23:13+00:00

Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic data-race detector for
kernel space. KCSAN is a sampling watchpoint-based data-race detector.
See the included Documentation/dev-tools/kcsan.rst for more details.

This patch adds basic infrastructure, but does not yet enable KCSAN for
any architecture.

bpf: Disable GCC -fgcse optimization for ___bpf_prog_run()

2019-07-18T19:01:06+00:00

On x86-64, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n, GCC's "global common subexpression
elimination" optimization results in ___bpf_prog_run()'s jumptable code
changing from this:

select_insn:
jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
...
ALU64_ADD_X:
...
jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)
ALU_ADD_X:
...
jmp *jumptable(, %rax, 8)

to this:

select_insn:
mov jumptable, %r12
jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
...
ALU64_ADD_X:
...
jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)
ALU_ADD_X:
...
jmp *(%r12, %rax, 8)

The jumptable address is placed in a register once, at the beginning of
the function. The function execution can then go through multiple
indirect jumps which rely on that same register value. This has a few
issues:

1) Objtool isn't smart enough to be able to track such a register value
across multiple recursive indirect jumps through the jump table.

2) With CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled, this optimization actually results in
a small slowdown. I measured a ~4.7% slowdown in the test_bpf
"tcpdump port 22" selftest.

This slowdown is actually predicted by the GCC manual:

Note: When compiling a program using computed gotos, a GCC
extension, you may get better run-time performance if you
disable the global common subexpression elimination pass by
adding -fno-gcse to the command line.

So just disable the optimization for this function.
