x86: alternative.h: use asm_inline for all alternative variants

2019-09-15T18:14:15Z

Most, if not all, uses of the alternative* family just provide one or two instructions in .text, but the string literal can be quite large, causing gcc to overestimate the size of the generated code. That in turn affects its decisions about inlining of the function containing the alternative() asm statement. New enough versions of gcc allow one to overrule the estimated size by using "asm inline" instead of just "asm". So replace asm by the helper asm_inline, which for older gccs just expands to asm.

x86/nospec, objtool: Introduce ANNOTATE_IGNORE_ALTERNATIVE

x86/alternatives: Add an ALTERNATIVE_3() macro

2019-01-16T11:42:50Z

Similar to ALTERNATIVE_2(), ALTERNATIVE_3() selects between 3 possible variants. Will be used for adding RDTSCP to the rdtsc_ordered() alternatives.

x86/alternatives: Add macro comments

2019-01-16T11:40:07Z

... so that when one stares at the .s output, one can find her way around the resulting asm magic. With it, ALTERNATIVE looks like this now: # ALT: oldnstr 661: ... 662: # ALT: padding .skip ... 663: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ... .popsection .pushsection .altinstr_replacement, "ax" # ALT: replacement 1 6641: ... 6651: .popsection Merge __OLDINSTR() into OLDINSTR(), while at it.

x86/alternatives: Macrofy lock prefixes to work around GCC inlining bugs

2018-10-04T09:24:59Z

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 - i.e. to macrify the affected block. As a result GCC considers the inline assembly block as a single instruction. This patch handles the LOCK prefix, allowing more aggresive inlining: text data bss dec hex filename 18140140 10225284 2957312 31322736 1ddf270 ./vmlinux before 18146889 10225380 2957312 31329581 1de0d2d ./vmlinux after (+6845) This is the reduction in non-inlined functions: Before: 40286 After: 40218 (-68) Tested-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Nadav Amit Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

x86/alternatives: Add missing '\n' at end of ALTERNATIVE inline asm

2018-01-05T13:01:15Z

Where an ALTERNATIVE is used in the middle of an inline asm block, this would otherwise lead to the following instruction being appended directly to the trailing ".popsection", and a failed compile.
