arch: um: Mark the stack non-executable to fix a binutils warning

2022-09-21T07:11:42+00:00

Since binutils 2.39, ld will print a warning if any stack section is
executable, which is the default for stack sections on files without a
.note.GNU-stack section.

This was fixed for x86 in commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86: link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments"),
but remained broken for UML, resulting in several warnings:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: arch/x86/um/vdso/vdso.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2 has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

Link both the VDSO and vmlinux with -z noexecstack, fixing the warnings
about .note.GNU-stack sections. In addition, pass --no-warn-rwx-segments
to dodge the remaining warnings about LOAD segments with RWX permissions
in the kallsyms objects. (Note that this flag is apparently not
available on lld, so hide it behind a test for BFD, which is what the
x86 patch does.)

Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() when reading the stack to prevent KASAN splats

um: fix default console kernel parameter

2022-09-19T20:38:44+00:00

OpenWrt's UML with 5.15 was producing odd errors/warnings during preinit
part of the early userspace portion:

|[    0.000000] Kernel command line: ubd0=root.img root=98:0 console=tty
|[...]
|[    0.440000] random: jshn: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
|[    0.460000] random: jshn: uninitialized urandom read (4 bytes read)
|/etc/preinit: line 47: can't create /dev/tty: No such device or address
|/etc/preinit: line 48: can't create /dev/tty: No such device or address
|/etc/preinit: line 58: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address
|[...] repeated many times

That "/dev/tty" came from the command line (which is automatically
added if no console= parameter was specified for the uml binary).

The TLDP project tells the following about the /dev/tty:

| /dev/tty stands for the controlling terminal (if any) for the current
| process.[...]
| /dev/tty is something like a link to the actually terminal device[..]

The "(if any)" is important here, since it's possible for processes to
not have a controlling terminal.

I think this was a simple typo and the author wanted tty0 there.

asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO

2022-08-21T17:06:28+00:00

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.

Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.

The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.

Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

virtio: Revert "virtio: find_vqs() add arg sizes"

2022-08-16T05:40:24+00:00

This reverts commit a10fba0377145fccefea4dc4dd5915b7ed87e546: the
proposed API isn't supported on all transports but no
effort was made to address this.

It might not be hard to fix if we want to: maybe just
rename size to size_hint and make sure legacy
transports ignore the hint.

But it's not sure what the benefit is in any case, so
let's drop it.

virtio: find_vqs() add arg sizes

2022-08-11T08:06:40+00:00

find_vqs() adds a new parameter sizes to specify the size of each vq
vring.

NULL as sizes means that all queues in find_vqs() use the maximum size.
A value in the array is 0, which means that the corresponding queue uses
the maximum size.

In the split scenario, the meaning of size is the largest size, because
it may be limited by memory, the virtio core will try a smaller size.
And the size is power of 2.

virtio-net can display the maximum (supported by hardware) ring size in
ethtool -g eth0.

When the subsequent patch implements vring reset, it can judge whether
the ring size passed by the driver is legal based on this.
