Pull x86 fix from Borislav Petkov:
 "A single fix for objtool to generate proper unwind info for newer
  toolchains which do not generate section symbols anymore. And a
  cleanup ontop.

  This was originally going to go during the next merge window but
  people can already trigger a build error with binutils-2.36 which
  doesn't emit section symbols - something which objtool relies on - so
  let's expedite it"

Remove it.

x86/entry: Emit a symbol for register restoring thunk

2021-01-14T16:18:25+00:00

Arnd found a randconfig that produces the warning:

arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at
offset 0x3e

when building with LLVM_IAS=1 (Clang's integrated assembler). Josh
notes:

With the LLVM assembler not generating section symbols, objtool has no
way to reference this code when it generates ORC unwinder entries,
because this code is outside of any ELF function.

The limitation now being imposed by objtool is that all code must be
contained in an ELF symbol. And .L symbols don't create such symbols.

So basically, you can use an .L symbol *inside* a function or a code
segment, you just can't use the .L symbol to contain the code using a
SYM_*_START/END annotation pair.

Fangrui notes that this optimization is helpful for reducing image size
when compiling with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections. I have
observed on the order of tens of thousands of symbols for the kernel
images built with those flags.

A patch has been authored against GNU binutils to match this behavior
of not generating unused section symbols ([1]), so this will
also become a problem for users of GNU binutils once they upgrade to 2.36.

Omit the .L prefix on a label so that the assembler will emit an entry
into the symbol table for the label, with STB_LOCAL binding. This
enables objtool to generate proper unwind info here with LLVM_IAS=1 or
GNU binutils 2.36+.

mm: forbid splitting special mappings

2020-12-15T20:13:41+00:00

Don't allow splitting of vm_special_mapping's.  It affects vdso/vvar
areas.  Uprobes have only one page in xol_area so they aren't affected.

Those restrictions were enforced by checks in .mremap() callbacks.
Restrict resizing with generic .split() callback.

2020-12-15T01:13:53+00:00

Pull core entry/exit updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of updates for entry/exit handling:

   - More generalization of entry/exit functionality

   - The consolidation work to reclaim TIF flags on x86 and also for
     non-x86 specific TIF flags which are solely relevant for syscall
     related work and have been moved into their own storage space. The
     x86 specific part had to be merged in to avoid a major conflict.

   - The TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL work which replaces the inefficient signal
     delivery mode of task work and results in an impressive performance
     improvement for io_uring. The non-x86 consolidation of this is
     going to come seperate via Jens.

   - The selective syscall redirection facility which provides a clean
     and efficient way to support the non-Linux syscalls of WINE by
     catching them at syscall entry and redirecting them to the user
     space emulation. This can be utilized for other purposes as well
     and has been designed carefully to avoid overhead for the regular
     fastpath. This includes the core changes and the x86 support code.

   - Simplification of the context tracking entry/exit handling for the
     users of the generic entry code which guarantee the proper ordering
     and protection.

   - Preparatory changes to make the generic entry code accomodate S390
     specific requirements which are mostly related to their syscall
     restart mechanism"

x86: vdso: Expose sigreturn address on vdso to the kernel

2020-12-02T09:32:16+00:00

Syscall user redirection requires the signal trampoline code to not be
captured, in order to support returning with a locked selector while
avoiding recursion back into the signal handler.  For ia-32, which has
the trampoline in the vDSO, expose the entry points to the kernel, such
that it can avoid dispatching syscalls from that region to userspace.
