syscalls/x86: Extend register clearing on syscall entry to lower registers

2018-04-05T14:59:39Z

To reduce the chance that random user space content leaks down the call chain in registers, also clear lower registers on syscall entry: For 64-bit syscalls, extend the register clearing in PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS to %dx and %cx. This should not hurt at all, also on the other callers of that macro. We do not need to clear %rdi and %rsi for syscall entry, as those registers are used to pass the parameters to do_syscall_64(). For the 32-bit compat syscalls, do_int80_syscall_32() and do_fast_syscall_32() each only take one parameter. Therefore, extend the register clearing to %dx, %cx, and %si in entry_SYSCALL_compat and entry_INT80_compat.

x86/entry/64: Simplify ENCODE_FRAME_POINTER

2018-02-21T15:54:07Z

On 64-bit, the stack pointer is always aligned on interrupt, so instead of setting the LSB of the pt_regs address, we can just add 1 to it.

x86/entry/64: Use 'xorl' for faster register clearing

2018-02-17T10:14:33Z

On some x86 CPU microarchitectures using 'xorq' to clear general-purpose registers is slower than 'xorl'. As 'xorl' is sufficient to clear all 64 bits of these registers due to zero-extension [*], switch the x86 64-bit entry code to use 'xorl'. No change in functionality and no change in code size. [*] According to Intel 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software Developer's Manual, section 3.4.1.1, the result of 32-bit operands are "zero- extended to a 64-bit result in the destination general-purpose register." The AMD64 Architecture Programmer’s Manual Volume 3, Appendix B.1, describes the same behaviour.

x86/entry: Reduce the code footprint of the 'idtentry' macro

2018-02-17T10:14:33Z

Play a little trick in the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro to insert the GP registers "above" the original return address. This allows us to (re-)insert the macro in error_entry() and paranoid_entry() and to remove it from the idtentry macro. This reduces the static footprint significantly: text data bss dec hex filename 24307 0 0 24307 5ef3 entry_64.o-orig 20987 0 0 20987 51fb entry_64.o Co-developed-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180214175924.23065-2-linux@dominikbrodowski.net [ Small tweaks to comments. ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86/entry/64: Get rid of the ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK and SAVE_AND_CLEAR_REGS macros

2018-02-13T08:04:54Z

Previously, error_entry() and paranoid_entry() saved the GP registers onto stack space previously allocated by its callers. Combine these two steps in the callers, and use the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro for that. This adds a significant amount ot text size. However, Ingo Molnar points out that: "these numbers also _very_ significantly over-represent the extra footprint. The assumptions that resulted in us compressing the IRQ entry code have changed very significantly with the new x86 IRQ allocation code we introduced in the last year: - IRQ vectors are usually populated in tightly clustered groups. With our new vector allocator code the typical per CPU allocation percentage on x86 systems is ~3 device vectors and ~10 fixed vectors out of ~220 vectors - i.e. a very low ~6% utilization (!). [...] The days where we allocated a lot of vectors on every CPU and the compression of the IRQ entry code text mattered are over. - Another issue is that only a small minority of vectors is frequent enough to actually matter to cache utilization in practice: 3-4 key IPIs and 1-2 device IRQs at most - and those vectors tend to be tightly clustered as well into about two groups, and are probably already on 2-3 cache lines in practice. For the common case of 'cache cold' IRQs it's the depth of the call chain and the fragmentation of the resulting I$ that should be the main performance limit - not the overall size of it. - The CPU side cost of IRQ delivery is still very expensive even in the best, most cached case, as in 'over a thousand cycles'. So much stuff is done that maybe contemporary x86 IRQ entry microcode already prefetches the IDT entry and its expected call target address."[*] [*] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180208094710.qnjixhm6hybebdv7@gmail.com The "testb $3, CS(%rsp)" instruction in the idtentry macro does not need modification. Previously, %rsp was manually decreased by 15*8; with this patch, %rsp is decreased by 15 pushq instructions.

x86/entry/64: Use PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS in more cases

2018-02-13T08:04:53Z

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() and nmi() can be converted to use PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS instead of opencoded variants thereof. Due to the interleaving, the additional XOR-based clearing of R8 and R9 in entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe() should not have any noticeable negative implications.

x86/entry/64: Introduce the PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS macro

2018-02-13T08:04:53Z

Those instances where ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK is called just before SAVE_AND_CLEAR_REGS can trivially be replaced by PUSH_AND_CLEAN_REGS. This macro uses PUSH instead of MOV and should therefore be faster, at least on newer CPUs.
