2020-01-14x86/vdso: Add time napespace pageDmitry Safonov1-1/+4
To support time namespaces in the VDSO with a minimal impact on regular non time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in a slow path. The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again. If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the special VVAR page. Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages and place vdso_data on it. Provide __arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the code-relative position of VVARs on that special page.

2020-01-14x86/vdso: Provide vdso_data offset on vvar_pageDmitry Safonov1-4/+4
VDSO support for time namespaces needs to set up a page with the same layout as VVAR. That timens page will be placed on position of VVAR page inside namespace. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. To prepare the time namespace page the kernel needs to know the vdso_data offset. Provide arch_get_vdso_data() helper for locating vdso_data on VVAR page.

2014-03-18x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernelStefani Seibold1-0/+5
This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

Move vvars out of the vsyscall page into their own page and mark it NX. Without this patch, an attacker who can force a daemon to call some fixed address could wait until the time contains, say, 0xCD80, and then execute the current time.

2011-05-24x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variablesAndy Lutomirski1-0/+52
Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are currently a bit of a mess. They are each defined with their own magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page, and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really exist. This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access. The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of indirection is removed. While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same cacheline.
