<title>arm64: vdso: disable .eh_frame_hdr via /DISCARD/ instead of --no-eh-frame-hdr</title>

<id>e2bba5f92354488c331b7821d873db7c388e31aa</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently with ld.lld we emit an empty .eh_frame_hdr section (and a
corresponding program header) into the vDSO. With ld.bfd the section
is not emitted but the program header is, with p_vaddr set to 0. This
can lead to unwinders attempting to interpret the data at whichever
location the program header happens to point to as an unwind info
header. This happens to be mostly harmless as long as the byte at
that location (interpreted as a version number) has a value other
than 1, causing both libgcc and LLVM libunwind to ignore the section
(in libunwind's case, after printing an error message to stderr),
but it could lead to worse problems if the byte happened to be 1 or
the program header points to non-readable memory (e.g. if the empty
section was placed at a page boundary).

Instead of disabling .eh_frame_hdr via --no-eh-frame-hdr (which
also has the downside of being unsupported by older versions of GNU
binutils), disable it by discarding the section, and stop emitting
the program header that points to it.

I understand that we intend to emit valid unwind info for the vDSO
at some point. Once that happens this patch can be reverted.

<title>arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y</title>

<id>e35123d83ee35c31f64ecfbdfabbe5142d3025b8</id>
<content type='text'>
When building with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler
converting an address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation
into a control dependency and consequently allowing for harmful
reordering by the CPU.

Ensure that such transformations are harmless by overriding the generic
READ_ONCE() definition with one that provides acquire semantics when
building with LTO.

This change removes all instances of DISABLE_LTO from
Makefiles, as they are currently unused, and the preferred
method of disabling LTO is to filter out the flags instead.

Note added by Masahiro Yamada:
DISABLE_LTO was added as preparation for GCC LTO, but GCC LTO was
not pulled into the mainline. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

<title>arch: vdso: add vdso linker script to 'targets' instead of extra-y</title>

The vdso linker script is preprocessed on demand.
Adding it to 'targets' is enough to include the .cmd file.

Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages.  Provide
__arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the
code-relative position of VVARs on that special page.

If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains
the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page
which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data-&gt;seq
set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data-&gt;clock_mode set to
VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path.

The extra check in the case that vdso_data-&gt;seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data-&gt;seq to become even again.

If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.

The time-namespace page isn't allocated on !CONFIG_TIME_NAMESPACE, but
vma is the same size, which simplifies criu/vdso migration between
different kernel configs.
