powerpc/vdso: Don't use r30 to avoid breaking Go lang

2021-07-29T13:13:12Z

The Go runtime uses r30 for some special value called 'g'. It assumes that value will remain unchanged even when calling VDSO functions. Although r30 is non-volatile across function calls, the callee is free to use it, as long as the callee saves the value and restores it before returning. It used to be true by accident that the VDSO didn't use r30, because the VDSO was hand-written asm. When we switched to building the VDSO from C the compiler started using r30, at least in some builds, leading to crashes in Go. eg: ~/go/src$ ./all.bash Building Go cmd/dist using /usr/lib/go-1.16. (go1.16.2 linux/ppc64le) Building Go toolchain1 using /usr/lib/go-1.16. go build os/exec: /usr/lib/go-1.16/pkg/tool/linux_ppc64le/compile: signal: segmentation fault go build reflect: /usr/lib/go-1.16/pkg/tool/linux_ppc64le/compile: signal: segmentation fault go tool dist: FAILED: /usr/lib/go-1.16/bin/go install -gcflags=-l -tags=math_big_pure_go compiler_bootstrap bootstrap/cmd/...: exit status 1 There are patches in flight to fix Go[1], but until they are released and widely deployed we can workaround it in the VDSO by avoiding use of r30. Note this only works with GCC, clang does not support -ffixed-rN. 1: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/328110 Fixes: ab037dd87a2f ("powerpc/vdso: Switch VDSO to generic C implementation.")

powerpc/vdso64: remove meaningless vgettimeofday.o build rule

2021-01-30T11:23:42Z

VDSO64 is only built for the 64-bit kernel, hence vgettimeofday.o is built by the generic rule in scripts/Makefile.build. This line does not provide anything useful.

powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of vgettimeofday.o

2021-01-30T11:23:42Z

vgettimeofday.o is unnecessarily rebuilt. Adding it to 'targets' is not enough to fix the issue. Kbuild is correctly rebuilding it because the command line is changed. PowerPC builds each vdso directory twice; first in vdso_prepare to generate vdso{32,64}-offsets.h, second as part of the ordinary build process to embed vdso{32,64}.so.dbg into the kernel. The problem shows up when CONFIG_PPC_WERROR=y due to the following line in arch/powerpc/Kbuild: subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_PPC_WERROR) := -Werror In the preparation stage, Kbuild directly visits the vdso directories, hence it does not inherit subdir-ccflags-y. In the second descend, Kbuild adds -Werror, which results in the command line flipping with/without -Werror. It implies a potential danger; if a more critical flag that would impact the resulted vdso, the offsets recorded in the headers might be different from real offsets in the embedded vdso images. Removing the unneeded second descend solves the problem.

powerpc/vdso: Block R_PPC_REL24 relocations

2020-12-21T11:06:25Z

Add R_PPC_REL24 relocations to the list of relocations we do NOT support in the VDSO. These are generated in some cases and we do not support relocating them at runtime, so if they appear then the VDSO will not work at runtime, therefore it's preferable to break the build if we see them.

powerpc/vdso: Retrieve sigtramp offsets at buildtime

2020-12-03T14:01:17Z

This is copied from arm64. Instead of using runtime generated signal trampoline offsets, get offsets at buildtime. If the said trampoline doesn't exist, build will fail. So no need to check whether the trampoline exists or not in the VDSO.

powerpc/vdso: Stripped VDSO is not needed, don't build it

2020-12-03T14:01:15Z

Since commit 24b659a13866 ("powerpc: Use unstripped VDSO image for more accurate profiling data"), only the unstripped VDSO image has been used. Partially revert commit 8150caad0226 ("[POWERPC] powerpc vDSO: install unstripped copies on disk") to avoid building the stripped version. And the unstripped version in $(MODLIB)/vdso/ is not required anymore as it is the one embedded in the kernel image.

powerpc/vdso: Switch VDSO to generic C implementation.
