<id>4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc</id>
<content type='text'>
We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

<title>um: Fix adding '-no-pie' for clang</title>

<id>846cfbeed09b45d985079a9173cf390cc053715b</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel builds with -fno-PIE, so commit 883354afbc10 ("um: link
vmlinux with -no-pie") added the compiler linker flag '-no-pie' via
cc-option because '-no-pie' was only supported in GCC 6.1.0 and newer.

While this works for GCC, this does not work for clang because cc-option
uses '-c', which stops the pipeline right before linking, so '-no-pie'
is unconsumed and clang warns, causing cc-option to fail just as it
would if the option was entirely unsupported:

  $ clang -Werror -no-pie -c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null
  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-no-pie' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

A recent version of clang exposes this because it generates a relocation
under '-mcmodel=large' that is not supported in PIE mode:

  /usr/sbin/ld: init/main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against symbol `saved_command_line' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
  /usr/sbin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value
  clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Remove the cc-option check altogether. It is wasteful to invoke the
compiler to check for '-no-pie' because only one supported compiler
version does not support it, GCC 5.x (as it is supported with the
minimum version of clang and GCC 6.1.0+). Use a combination of the
gcc-min-version macro and CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG to unconditionally add
'-no-pie' with CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_DYN=y, so that it is enabled with all
compilers that support this. Furthermore, using gcc-min-version can help
turn this back into

  LINK-$(CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_DYN) += -no-pie

when the minimum version of GCC is bumped past 6.1.0.

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

These functions were only used when calling PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL, but this
code has been removed.

<title>um: Rely on PTRACE_SETREGSET to set FS/GS base registers</title>

These registers are saved/restored together with the other general
registers using ptrace. In arch_set_tls we then just need to set the
register and it will be synced back normally.

Most of this logic was introduced in commit f355559cf7845 ("[PATCH] uml:
x86_64 thread fixes"). However, at least today we can rely on ptrace to
restore the base registers for us. As such, only the part of the patch
that tracks the FS register for use as thread local storage is actually
needed.

Clang uses a different set of command line arguments for enabling
coverage.

<title>um: time-travel: fix time corruption</title>

In 'basic' time-travel mode (without =inf-cpu or =ext), we
still get timer interrupts. These can happen at arbitrary
points in time, i.e. while in timer_read(), which pushes
time forward just a little bit. Then, if we happen to get
the interrupt after calculating the new time to push to,
but before actually finishing that, the interrupt will set
the time to a value that's incompatible with the forward,
and we'll crash because time goes backwards when we do the
forwarding.

Fix this by reading the time_travel_time, calculating the
adjustment, and doing the adjustment all with interrupts
disabled.
