arm64/vdso: Discard .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO

2021-05-22T08:57:21Z

[ Upstream commit 388708028e6937f3fc5fc19aeeb847f8970f489c ] The arm64 assembler in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program property note in a note section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86 ISAs and features. But the kernel linker script only contains a single NOTE segment: PHDRS { text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5) FILEHDR PHDRS; /* PF_R|PF_X */ dynamic PT_DYNAMIC FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */ note PT_NOTE FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */ } The NOTE segment generated by the vDSO linker script is aligned to 4 bytes. But the .note.gnu.property section must be aligned to 8 bytes on arm64. $ readelf -n vdso64.so Displaying notes found in: .note Owner Data size Description Linux 0x00000004 Unknown note type: (0x00000000) description data: 06 00 00 00 readelf: Warning: note with invalid namesz and/or descsz found at offset 0x20 readelf: Warning: type: 0x78, namesize: 0x00000100, descsize: 0x756e694c, alignment: 8 Since the note.gnu.property section in the vDSO is not checked by the dynamic linker, discard the .note.gnu.property sections in the vDSO. Similar to commit 4caffe6a28d31 ("x86/vdso: Discard .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO"), but for arm64.

arm64: vdso: Fix clock_getres() for CLOCK_REALTIME

2019-05-31T13:47:26Z

[ Upstream commit 81fb8736dd81da3fe94f28968dac60f392ec6746 ] clock_getres() in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour of posix_get_hrtimer_res(). In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does: sec = 0; ns = hrtimer_resolution; where 'hrtimer_resolution' depends on whether or not high resolution timers are enabled, which is a runtime decision. The vDSO incorrectly returns the constant CLOCK_REALTIME_RES. Fix this by exposing 'hrtimer_resolution' in the vDSO datapage and returning that instead.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

2017-06-20T08:41:51Z

Recently vDSO support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in 49eea433b326 ("arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO"). Noticing that the core timekeeping code never set tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, the vDSO implementation didn't bother exposing it via the data page and instead took the unshifted tk->raw_time.tv_nsec value which was then immediately shifted left in the vDSO code. Unfortunately, by accellerating the MONOTONIC_RAW clockid, it uncovered potential 1ns time inconsistencies caused by the timekeeping core not handing sub-ns resolution. Now that the core code has been fixed and is actually setting tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, we need to take that into account in the vDSO by adding it to the shifted raw_time value, in order to fix the user-visible inconsistency. Rather than do that at each use (and expand the data page in the process), instead perform the shift/addition operation when populating the data page and remove the shift from the vDSO code entirely.

arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO

2016-07-12T15:06:32Z

So far the arm64 clock_gettime() vDSO implementation only supported the following clocks, falling back to the syscall for the others: - CLOCK_REALTIME{,_COARSE} - CLOCK_MONOTONIC{,_COARSE} This patch adds support for the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock, taking advantage of the recent refactoring of the vDSO time functions. Like the non-_COARSE clocks, this only works when the "arch_sys_counter" clocksource is in use (allowing us to read the current time from the virtual counter register), otherwise we also have to fall back to the syscall. Most of the data is shared with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and the algorithm is similar. The reference implementation in kernel/time/timekeeping.c shows that: - CLOCK_MONOTONIC = tk->wall_to_monotonic + tk->xtime_sec + timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_mono) - CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW = tk->raw_time + timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_raw) - tkr_mono and tkr_raw are identical (in particular, same clocksource), except these members: * mult (only mono's multiplier is NTP-adjusted) * xtime_nsec (always 0 for raw) Therefore, tk->raw_time and tkr_raw->mult are now also stored in the vDSO data page.

arm64: Refactor vDSO time functions

2016-07-12T15:06:27Z

Time functions are directly implemented in assembly in arm64, and it is desirable to keep it this way for performance reasons (everything fits in registers, so that the stack is not used at all). However, the current implementation is quite difficult to read and understand (even considering it's assembly). Additionally, due to the structure of __kernel_clock_gettime, which heavily uses conditional branches to share code between the different clocks, it is difficult to support a new clock without making the branches even harder to follow. This commit completely refactors the structure of clock_gettime (and gettimeofday along the way) while keeping exactly the same algorithms. We no longer try to share code; instead, macros provide common operations. This new approach comes with a number of advantages: - In clock_gettime, clock implementations are no longer interspersed, making them much more readable. Additionally, macros only use registers passed as arguments or reserved with .req, this way it is easy to make sure that registers are properly allocated. To avoid a large number of branches in a given execution path, a jump table is used; a normal execution uses 3 unconditional branches. - __do_get_tspec has been replaced with 2 macros (get_ts_clock_mono, get_clock_shifted_nsec) and explicit loading of data from the vDSO page. Consequently, clock_gettime and gettimeofday are now leaf functions, and saving x30 (lr) is no longer necessary. - Variables protected by tb_seq_count are now loaded all at once, allowing to merge the seqcnt_read macro into seqcnt_check. - For CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE, removed an unused load of the wall to monotonic timespec. - For CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, removed a few shift instructions. Obviously, the downside of sharing less code is an increase in code size. However since the vDSO has its own code page, this does not really matter, as long as the size of the DSO remains below 4 kB.

arm64: fix vdso-offsets.h dependency

2016-07-11T16:10:11Z

arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include vdso-offsets.h, as well as any file that includes asm/vdso.h. Therefore, vdso-offsets.h must be generated before these files are compiled. The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed, vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary rebuilds. This is made obvious when using make -j: touch arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S && make -j$NCPUS arch/arm64/kernel will sometimes result in none of arm64/kernel/*.o being rebuilt, sometimes all of them, or even just some of them. It is quite difficult to ensure that a header is generated before it is used with recursive Makefiles by using normal rules. Instead, arch-specific generated headers are normally built in the archprepare recipe in the arch Makefile (see for instance arch/ia64/Makefile). Unfortunately, asm-offsets.h is included in gettimeofday.S, and must therefore be generated before vdso-offsets.h, which is not the case if archprepare is used. For this reason, a rule run after archprepare has to be used. This commit adds rules in arm64/Makefile to build vdso-offsets.h during the prepare step, ensuring that vdso-offsets.h is generated before building anything. It also removes the now-unnecessary dependencies on vdso-offsets.h in arm64/kernel/Makefile. Finally, it removes the duplication of asm-offsets.h between arm64/kernel/vdso/ and include/generated/ and makes include/generated/vdso-offsets.h a target in arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile.

arm64: Fix vdso-offsets.h dependency

2016-07-08T13:29:18Z

arch/arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include generated/vdso-offsets.h, and therefore the symbol offsets must be generated before these files are compiled. The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed, vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary rebuilds. This patch removes the arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso-offsets.h file generation, leaving only the include/generated/vdso-offsets.h one. It adds a forced dependency check of the vdso-offsets.h file in arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile which, if not up to date according to the arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile rules (depending on vdso.so.dbg), will trigger the vdso/ subdirectory build and vdso-offsets.h re-generation. Automatic kbuild dependency rules between kernel/{vdso,signal}.c rules and vdso-offsets.h will guarantee that the vDSO object is built first, followed by the generated symbol offsets header file.
