GCC 5.5.0 sometimes cleverly hoists reads of the pvclock and/or hvclock
pages before the vclock mode checks. This creates a path through
vclock_gettime() in which no vclock is enabled at all (due to disabled
TSC on old CPUs, for example) but the pvclock or hvclock page
nevertheless read. This will segfault on bare metal.
This fixes commit 459e3a21535a ("gcc-9: properly declare the
{pv,hv}clock_page storage") in the sense that, before that commit, GCC
didn't seem to generate the offending code. There was nothing wrong
with that commit per se, and -stable maintainers should backport this to
all supported kernels regardless of whether the offending commit was
present, since the same crash could just as easily be triggered by the
phase of the moon.
On GCC 9.1.1, this doesn't seem to affect the generated code at all, so
I'm not too concerned about performance regressions from this fix.

The pvlock_page and hvclock_page variables are (as the name implies)
addresses to pages, created by the linker script.
But we declared them as just "extern u8" variables, which _works_, but
now that gcc does some more bounds checking, it causes warnings like
warning: array subscript 1 is outside array bounds of ‘u8[1]’
when we then access more than one byte from those variables.
Fix this by simply making the declaration of the variables match
reality, which makes the compiler happy too.

Commit
379d98ddf413 ("x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link")
accidentally broke unwinding from userspace, because ld would strip the
.eh_frame sections when linking.
Originally, the compiler would implicitly add --eh-frame-hdr when
invoking the linker, but when this Makefile was converted from invoking
ld via the compiler, to invoking it directly (like vmlinux does),
the flag was missed. (The EH_FRAME section is important for the VDSO
shared libraries, but not for vmlinux.)
Fix the problem by explicitly specifying --eh-frame-hdr, which restores
parity with the old method.

Once upon a time, vdso2c aggressively stripped data from the vDSO
image when generating the final userspace image. This included
stripping the .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections.
Eventually, the stripping process reverted to "objdump -S" and no
longer removed the aforementioned sections, but the comment remained.
Keeping the .alt* sections at the end of the PT_LOAD segment is no
longer necessary, but there's no harm in doing so and it's a helpful
reminder that they don't need to be included in the final vDSO image,
i.e. someone may want to take another stab at zapping/stripping the
unneeded sections.

At one point the vDSO image was manually stripped down by vdso2c in an
attempt to minimize the size of the image mapped into userspace. Part
of that stripping process involved building a fake section table so as
not to break userspace processes that parse the section table. Memory
for the fake section table was reserved in the .rodata section so that
vdso2c could simply copy the entire PT_LOAD segment into the userspace
image after building the fake table.
Eventually, the entire fake section table approach was dropped in favor
of stripping the vdso "the old fashioned way", i.e. via objdump -S.
But, the reservation in .rodata for the fake table was left behind.
Remove the reserveration along with a few other related defines and
section entries.
Removing the fake section table placeholder zaps a whopping 0x340 bytes
from the 64-bit vDSO image, which drops the current image's size to
under 4k, i.e. reduces the effective size of the userspace vDSO mapping
by a full page.

We have a special segment descriptor entry in the GDT, whose sole purpose is to
encode the CPU and node numbers in its limit (size) field. There are user-space
instructions that allow the reading of the limit field, which gives us a really
fast way to read the CPU and node IDs from the vDSO for example.
But the naming of related functionality does not make this clear, at all:
VDSO_CPU_SIZE
VDSO_CPU_MASK
__CPU_NUMBER_SEG
GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER
vdso_encode_cpu_node
vdso_read_cpu_node
There's a number of problems:
- The 'VDSO_CPU_SIZE' doesn't really make it clear that these are number
of bits, nor does it make it clear which 'CPU' this refers to, i.e.
that this is about a GDT entry whose limit encodes the CPU and node number.
- Furthermore, the 'CPU_NUMBER' naming is actively misleading as well,
because the segment limit encodes not just the CPU number but the
node ID as well ...
So use a better nomenclature all around: name everything related to this trick
as 'CPUNODE', to make it clear that this is something special, and add
_BITS to make it clear that these are number of bits, and propagate this to
every affected name:
VDSO_CPU_SIZE => VDSO_CPUNODE_BITS
VDSO_CPU_MASK => VDSO_CPUNODE_MASK
__CPU_NUMBER_SEG => __CPUNODE_SEG
GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER => GDT_ENTRY_CPUNODE
vdso_encode_cpu_node => vdso_encode_cpunode
vdso_read_cpu_node => vdso_read_cpunode
This, beyond being less confusing, also makes it easier to grep for all related
functionality:
$ git grep -i cpunode arch/x86
Also, while at it, fix "return is not a function" style sloppiness in vdso_encode_cpunode().

Currently the CPU/node NR segment descriptor (GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER) is
initialized relatively late during CPU init, from the vCPU code, which
has a number of disadvantages, such as hotplug CPU notifiers and SMP
cross-calls.
Instead just initialize it much earlier, directly in cpu_init().
This reduces complexity and increases robustness.

vgetcyc() is full of barriers, so fetching values out of the vvar
page before vgetcyc() for use after vgetcyc() results in poor code
generation. Put vgetcyc() first to avoid this problem.
Also, pull the tv_sec division into the loop and put all the ts
writes together. The old code wrote ts->tv_sec on each iteration
before the syscall fallback check and then added in the offset
afterwards, which forced the compiler to pointlessly copy base->sec
to ts->tv_sec on each iteration. The new version seems to generate
sensible code.
Saves several cycles. With this patch applied, the result is faster
than before the clock_gettime() rewrite.

When a vDSO clock function falls back to the syscall, no special
barriers or ordering is needed, and the syscall fallbacks don't
clobber any memory that is not explicitly listed in the asm
constraints. Remove the "memory" clobber.
This causes minor changes to the generated code, but otherwise has
no obvious performance impact. I think it's nice to have, though,
since it may help the optimizer in the future.

Dereferencing gtod->cycle_last all over the place and foing the cycles <

Caveat: This adds the comparison to the hyperv vclock as well, but I have

The code flow for the vclocks is convoluted as it requires the vclocks
which can be invalidated separately from the vsyscall_gtod_data sequence to
store the fact in a separate variable. That's inefficient.
Restructure the code so the vclock readout returns cycles and the
conversion to nanoseconds is handled at the call site.
If the clock gets invalidated or vclock is already VCLOCK_NONE, return
U64_MAX as the cycle value, which is invalid for all clocks and leave the
sequence loop immediately in that case by calling the fallback function
directly.
This allows to remove the gettimeofday fallback as it now uses the
clock_gettime() fallback and does the nanoseconds to microseconds
conversion in the same way as it does when the vclock is functional. It
does not make a difference whether the division by 1000 happens in the
kernel fallback or in userspace.
Generates way better code and gains a few cycles back.

Now that the time getter functions use the clockid as index into the
storage array for the base time access, the switch case can be replaced.
- Check for clockid >= MAX_CLOCKS and for negative clockid (CPU/FD) first
and call the fallback function right away.
- After establishing that clockid is < MAX_CLOCKS, convert the clockid to a
bitmask
- Check for the supported high resolution and coarse functions by anding
the bitmask of supported clocks and check whether a bit is set.
This completely avoids jump tables, reduces the number of conditionals and
makes the VDSO extensible for other clock ids.

It's desired to support more clocks in the VDSO, e.g. CLOCK_TAI. This
results either in indirect calls due to the larger switch case, which then
requires retpolines or when the compiler is forced to avoid jump tables it
results in even more conditionals.
To avoid both variants which are bad for performance the high resolution
functions and the coarse grained functions will be collapsed into one for
each. That requires to store the clock specific base time in an array.
Introcude struct vgtod_ts for storage and convert the data store, the
update function and the individual clock functions over to use it.
The new storage does not longer use gtod_long_t for seconds depending on 32
or 64 bit compile because this needs to be the full 64bit value even for
32bit when a Y2038 function is added. No point in keeping the distinction
alive in the internal representation.

The syscall fallbacks in the vDSO have incorrect asm constraints.
They are not marked as writing to their outputs -- instead, they are
marked as clobbering "memory", which is useless. In particular, gcc
is smart enough to know that the timespec parameter hasn't escaped,
so a memory clobber doesn't clobber it. And passing a pointer as an
asm *input* does not tell gcc that the pointed-to value is changed.
Add in the fact that the asm instructions weren't volatile, and gcc
was free to omit them entirely unless their sole output (the return
value) is used. Which it is (phew!), but that stops happening with
some upcoming patches.
As a trivial example, the following code:
void test_fallback(struct timespec *ts)
{
vdso_fallback_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ts);
}
compiles to:
00000000000000c0 <test_fallback>:
c0: c3 retq
To add insult to injury, the RCX and R11 clobbers on 64-bit
builds were missing.
The "memory" clobber is also unnecessary -- no ordering with respect to
other memory operations is needed, but that's going to be fixed in a
separate not-for-stable patch.

Currently, if the vDSO ends up containing an indirect branch or
call, GCC will emit the "external thunk" style of retpoline, and it
will fail to link.
Fix it by building the vDSO with inline retpoline thunks.
I haven't seen any reports of this triggering on an unpatched
kernel.

Pull x86 vdso update from Thomas Gleixner:
"Use LD to link the VDSO libs instead of indirecting trough CC which
causes build failures with Clang"
* 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link
|
|
The vdso{32,64}.so can fail to link with CC=clang when clang tries to find
a suitable GCC toolchain to link these libraries with.
/usr/bin/ld: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.o:
access beyond end of merged section (782)
This happens because the host environment leaked into the cross compiler
environment due to the way clang searches for suitable GCC toolchains.
Clang is a retargetable compiler, and each invocation of it must provide
--target=<something> --gcc-toolchain=<something> to allow it to find the
correct binutils for cross compilation. These flags had been added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS, but the vdso code uses CC and not KBUILD_CFLAGS (for various
reasons) which breaks clang's ability to find the correct linker when cross
compiling.
Most of the time this goes unnoticed because the host linker is new enough
to work anyway, or is incompatible and skipped, but this cannot be reliably
assumed.
This change alters the vdso makefile to just use LD directly, which
bypasses clang and thus the searching problem. The makefile will just use
${CROSS_COMPILE}ld instead, which is always what we want. This matches the
method used to link vmlinux.
This drops references to DISABLE_LTO; this option doesn't seem to be set
anywhere, and not knowing what its possible values are, it's not clear how
to convert it from CC to LD flag.

GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
in a chain of pattern rules.
Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts
Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped
A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.
.SECONDARY
Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
files but are never automatically deleted.
.PRECIOUS
When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
if interrupted.
Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
but .PRECIOUS does not.
The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.
Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
.SECONDARY does not.
.PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c
works, but
.SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c
has no effect. However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
.PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.
The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit. $(targets)
contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files. So, the
intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there. Therefore, mark
$(targets) as .SECONDARY. It means primary targets are also marked
as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.
I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'. This
will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
not a noticeable performance issue.

gcc-8 warns that time() is an alias for __vdso_time() but the two
have different prototypes:
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:327:5: error: 'time' alias between functions of incompatible types 'int(time_t *)' {aka 'int(long int *)'} and 'time_t(time_t *)' {aka 'long int(long int *)'} [-Werror=attribute-alias]
int time(time_t *t)
^~~~
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:318:16: note: aliased declaration here
I could not figure out whether this is intentional, but I see that
changing it to return time_t avoids the warning.
Returning 'int' from time() is also a bit questionable, as it causes an
overflow in y2038 even on 64-bit architectures that use a 64-bit time_t
type. On 32-bit architecture with 64-bit time_t, time() should always
be implement by the C library by calling a (to be added) clock_gettime()
variant that takes a sufficiently wide argument.
