2021-11-11static_call,x86: Robustify trampoline patchingPeter Zijlstra1-4/+10
Add a few signature bytes after the static call trampoline and verify those bytes match before patching the trampoline. This avoids patching random other JMPs (such as CFI jump-table entries) instead. These bytes decode as: d: 53 push %rbx e: 43 54 rex.XB push %r12 And happen to spell "SCT".

2021-03-15x86: Remove dynamic NOP selectionPeter Zijlstra1-2/+2
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. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com> # bpf Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linuxfoundation.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210312115749.065275711@infradead.org
2021-02-17static_call/x86: Add __static_call_return0()Peter Zijlstra1-2/+15
Provide a stub function that return 0 and wire up the static call site patching to replace the CALL with a single 5 byte instruction that clears %RAX, the return value register. The function can be cast to any function pointer type that has a single %RAX return (including pointers). Also provide a version that returns an int for convenience. We are clearing the entire %RAX register in any case, whether the return value is 32 or 64 bits, since %RAX is always a scratch register anyway.

2020-09-01static_call: Allow early initPeter Zijlstra1-1/+4
In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this. Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the sites and allows us to run much earlier.

2020-09-01static_call: Handle tail-callsPeter Zijlstra1-3/+18
GCC can turn our static_call(name)(args...) into a tail call, in which case we get a JMP.d32 into the trampoline (which then does a further tail-call). Teach objtool to recognise and mark these in .static_call_sites and adjust the code patching to deal with this.

2020-09-01static_call: Add static_call_cond()Peter Zijlstra1-10/+32
Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common pattern: if (func_ptr) func_ptr(args...) For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call. For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5. NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type. NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed to a full function.

2020-09-01x86/static_call: Add inline static call implementation for x86-64Josh Poimboeuf1-0/+3
Add the inline static call implementation for x86-64. The generated code is identical to the out-of-line case, except we move the trampoline into it's own section. Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call sites. It then annotates those call sites in the .static_call_sites section. During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call directly into the destination function. The temporary trampoline is then no longer used.

2020-09-01x86/static_call: Add out-of-line static call implementationJosh Poimboeuf1-0/+31
Add the x86 out-of-line static call implementation. For each key, a permanent trampoline is created which is the destination for all static calls for the given key. The trampoline has a direct jump which gets patched by static_call_update() when the destination function changes.
