Objtool secretly does a jump label hack to overcome the limitations of
the toolchain. Make the hack explicit (and optional for other arches)
by turning it into a cmdline option and kernel config option.

Now that stack validation is an optional feature of objtool, add
CONFIG_OBJTOOL and replace most usages of CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION with
it.
CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION can now be considered to be frame-pointer
specific. CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is already inherently valid for live
patching, so no need to "validate" it.

Now that objtool is able to rewrite jump_label instructions, have the
compiler emit a JMP, such that it can decide on the optimal encoding,
and set jump_entry::key bit1 to indicate that objtool should rewrite
the instruction to a matching NOP.
For x86_64-allyesconfig this gives:
jl\ NOP JMP
short: 22997 124
long: 30874 90
IOW, we save (22997+124) * 3 bytes of kernel text in hotpaths.

Now that we can patch short JMP/NOP, allow the compiler/assembler to

There is no way to have the assembler emit short NOPs based on the
potential displacement, so leave those long for now.

This ensures that a NOP is a NOP and not a random other instruction that
is also a NOP. It allows simplification of dynamic code patching that
wants to verify existing code before writing new instructions (ftrace,
jump_label, static_call, etc..).
Differentiating on NOPs is not a feature.
This pessimises 32bit (DONTCARE) and 32bit on 64bit CPUs (CARELESS).
32bit is not a performance target.
Everything x86_64 since AMD K10 (2007) and Intel IvyBridge (2012) is
fine with using NOPL (as opposed to prefix NOP). And per FEATURE_NOPL
being required for x86_64, all x86_64 CPUs can use NOPL. So stop
caring about NOPs, simplify things and get on with life.
[ The problem seems to be that some uarchs can only decode NOPL on a
single front-end port while others have severe decode penalties for
excessive prefixes. All modern uarchs can handle both, except Atom,
which has prefix penalties. ]
[ Also, much doubt you can actually measure any of this on normal
workloads. ]
After this, FEATURE_NOPL is unused except for required-features for
x86_64. FEATURE_K8 is only used for PTI.
[ bp: Kernel build measurements showed ~0.3s slowdown on Sandybridge
which is hardly a slowdown. Get rid of X86_FEATURE_K7, while at it. ]

When compiling an external kernel module with `-O0` or `-O1`, the following
compile error may be reported:
./arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h:25:2: error: impossible constraint in ‘asm’
25 | asm_volatile_goto("1:"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It appears that these lower optimization levels prevent GCC from detecting
that the key/branch arguments can be treated as constants and used as
immediate operands. To work around this, explicitly add the `const` label.

Currently, the jump label of a static key is transformed via the arch
specific function:
void arch_jump_label_transform(struct jump_entry *entry,
enum jump_label_type type)
The new approach (batch mode) uses two arch functions, the first has the
same arguments of the arch_jump_label_transform(), and is the function:
bool arch_jump_label_transform_queue(struct jump_entry *entry,
enum jump_label_type type)
Rather than transforming the code, it adds the jump_entry in a queue of
entries to be updated. This functions returns true in the case of a
successful enqueue of an entry. If it returns false, the caller must to
apply the queue and then try to queue again, for instance, because the
queue is full.
This function expects the caller to sort the entries by the address before
enqueueuing then. This is already done by the arch independent code, though.
After queuing all jump_entries, the function:
void arch_jump_label_transform_apply(void)
Applies the changes in the queue.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

This reverts commit 5bdcd510c2ac9efaf55c4cbd8d46421d8e2320cd.
The macro based workarounds for GCC's inlining bugs caused regressions: distcc
and other distro build setups broke, and the fixes are not easy nor will they
solve regressions on already existing installations.
So we are reverting this patch and the 8 followup patches.
What makes this revert easier is that GCC9 will likely include the new 'asm inline'
syntax that makes inlining of assembly blocks a lot more robust.
This is a superior method to any macro based hackeries - and might even be
backported to GCC8, which would make all modern distros get the inlining
fixes as well.
Many thanks to Masahiro Yamada and others for helping sort out these problems.

As described in:
77b0bf55bc67: ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs")
GCC's inlining heuristics are broken with common asm() patterns used in
kernel code, resulting in the effective disabling of inlining.
The workaround is to set an assembly macro and call it from the inline
assembly block - which is also a minor cleanup for the jump-label code.
As a result the code size is slightly increased, but inlining decisions
are better:
text data bss dec hex filename
18163528 10226300 2957312 31347140 1de51c4 ./vmlinux before
18163608 10227348 2957312 31348268 1de562c ./vmlinux after (+1128)
And functions such as intel_pstate_adjust_policy_max(),
kvm_cpu_accept_dm_intr(), kvm_register_readl() are inlined.

Similar to the arm64 case, 64-bit x86 can benefit from using relative
references rather than absolute ones when emitting struct jump_entry
instances. Not only does this reduce the memory footprint of the entries
themselves by 33%, it also removes the need for carrying relocation
metadata on relocatable builds (i.e., for KASLR) which saves a fair
chunk of .init space as well (although the savings are not as dramatic
as on arm64)

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Unfortunately, we can only do this if HAVE_JUMP_LABEL. In
principle, we could do some serious surgery on the core jump
label infrastructure to keep the patch infrastructure available
on x86 on all builds, but that's probably not worth it.
Implementing the macros using a conditional branch as a fallback
seems like a bad idea: we'd have to clobber flags.
This limitation can't cause silent failures -- trying to include
asm/jump_label.h at all on a non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL kernel will
error out. The macro's users are responsible for handling this
issue themselves.

Boris reported that gcc version 4.4.4 20100503 (Red Hat
4.4.4-2) fails to build linux-next kernels that have
this fresh commit via the locking tree:
11276d5306b8 ("locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface")
The problem appears to be that even though @key and @branch are
compile time constants, it doesn't see the following expression
as an immediate value:
&((char *)key)[branch]
More recent GCCs don't appear to have this problem.
In particular, Red Hat backported the 'asm goto' feature into 4.4,
'normal' 4.4 compilers will not have this feature and thus not
run into this asm.
The workaround is to supply both values to the asm as immediates
and do the addition in asm.

There are various problems and short-comings with the current
static_key interface:
- static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key
value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on
init value.
- static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the
static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}.
- we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to
a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly
emits.
So provide a new static_key interface:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
Which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:
static_branch_likely()
static_branch_unlikely()
to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case.
This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper
which emits a JMP per default.
In order to determine the right instruction for the right state,
encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key.
This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:
a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")
... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us
performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

Wrap asm/jump_label.h for all archs with #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__.
Since these are kernel only headers, we don't need #ifdef
__KERNEL__ so can simplify things a bit.
If an architecture wants to use jump labels in assembly, it
will still need to define a macro to create the __jump_table
entries (see ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH in the powerpc asm/jump_label.h
for an example).

Fengguang Wu, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra tracked down
a kernel crash to a GCC bug: GCC miscompiles certain 'asm goto'
constructs, as outlined here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670
Implement a workaround suggested by Jakub Jelinek.

As specified by H. Peter Anvin, the best nops for x86 without knowing
the running computer is:
32bit:
0x3e, 0x8d, 0x74, 0x26, 0x00 also known as GENERIC_NOP5_ATOMIC
64bit:
0x0f, 0x1f, 0x44, 0x00, 0x00 also known as P6_NOP5_ATOMIC
Currently the default nop that is used by jump label is:
0xe9 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
Which is really a 5byte jump to the next position.
It's better to use a real nop than a jmp.

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
Typical usage scenarios:
#include <linux/static_key.h>
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
if (static_key_false(&key))
do unlikely code
else
do likely code
Or:
if (static_key_true(&key))
do likely code
else
do unlikely code
The static key is modified via:
static_key_slow_inc(&key);
...
static_key_slow_dec(&key);
The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.
I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

The linker should not be adding holes to word size aligned pointers, but
out of paranoia we are explicitly specifying that alignment. I have not
seen any holes in the jump label section in practice.

Introduce:
static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key);
instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro.
In this way, jump labels become really easy to use:
Define:
struct jump_label_key jump_key;
Can be used as:
if (static_branch(&jump_key))
do unlikely code
enable/disale via:
jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
that's it!
For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an
atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(),
atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct.
Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into
the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in
basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous
hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.
Testing:
I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3
configurations, where tracepoints were disabled.
jump label configured in
avg: 815.6
jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads)
avg: 800.1
jump label *not* configured in (regular reads)
avg: 803.4

If we use jump table in module init, there are marked
as removed in __jump_table section after init is done.
But we already applied ro permissions on the module, so
we can't modify a read only section (crash in
remove_jump_label_module_init).
Make the __jump_table section rw.

The structure in the x86 jump label code uses the typedef jump_label_t,
which is defined by the #ifdef arch type. The structure does not need
to be duplicated there.

add x86 support for jump label. I'm keeping this patch separate so its clear
to arch maintainers what was required for x86 support this new feature.
Hopefully, it wouldn't be too painful for other archs.
