x86/entry: Rename is_{ia32,x32}_task() to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall()

2016-04-19T08:44:52Z

The is_ia32_task()/is_x32_task() function names are a big misnomer: they suggests that the compat-ness of a system call is a task property, which is not true, the compatness of a system call purely depends on how it was invoked through the system call layer. A task may call 32-bit and 64-bit and x32 system calls without changing any of its kernel visible state. This specific minomer is also actively dangerous, as it might cause kernel developers to use the wrong kind of security checks within system calls. So rename it to in_{ia32,x32}_syscall().

x86/entry: Call enter_from_user_mode() with IRQs off

2016-03-10T09:53:26Z

Now that slow-path syscalls always enter C before enabling interrupts, it's straightforward to call enter_from_user_mode() before enabling interrupts rather than doing it as part of entry tracing. With this change, we should finally be able to retire exception_enter(). This will also enable optimizations based on knowing that we never change context tracking state with interrupts on.

x86/entry/32: Change INT80 to be an interrupt gate

2016-03-10T09:53:26Z

We want all of the syscall entries to run with interrupts off so that we can efficiently run context tracking before enabling interrupts. This will regress int $0x80 performance on 32-bit kernels by a couple of cycles. This shouldn't matter much -- int $0x80 is not a fast path. This effectively reverts: 657c1eea0019 ("x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on") ... and fixes the same issue differently.

x86/entry: Remove TIF_SINGLESTEP entry work

2016-03-10T08:48:14Z

Now that SYSENTER with TF set puts X86_EFLAGS_TF directly into regs->flags, we don't need a TIF_SINGLESTEP fixup in the syscall entry code. Remove it.

x86/entry/compat: Keep TS_COMPAT set during signal delivery

2016-02-17T08:51:06Z

Signal delivery needs to know the sign of an interrupted syscall's return value in order to detect -ERESTART variants. Normally this works independently of bitness because syscalls internally return long. Under ptrace, however, this can break, and syscall_get_error is supposed to sign-extend regs->ax if needed. We were clearing TS_COMPAT too early, though, and this prevented sign extension, which subtly broke syscall restart under ptrace.

x86/cpufeature: Carve out X86_FEATURE_*

2016-01-30T10:22:17Z

Move them to a separate header and have the following dependency: x86/cpufeatures.h <- x86/processor.h <- x86/cpufeature.h This makes it easier to use the header in asm code and not include the whole cpufeature.h and add guards for asm.

x86/entry/64: Migrate the 64-bit syscall slow path to C

2016-01-29T08:46:38Z

This is more complicated than the 32-bit and compat cases because it preserves an asm fast path for the case where the callee-saved regs aren't needed in pt_regs and no entry or exit work needs to be done. This appears to slow down fastpath syscalls by no more than one cycle on my Skylake laptop.

x86/entry: Restore traditional SYSENTER calling convention

2015-12-21T15:05:01Z

It turns out that some Android versions hardcode the SYSENTER calling convention. This is buggy and will cause problems no matter what the kernel does. Nonetheless, we should try to support it. Credit goes to Linus for pointing out a clean way to handle the SYSENTER/SYSCALL clobber differences while preserving straightforward DWARF annotations. I believe that the original offending Android commit was: https://android.googlesource.com/platform%2Fbionic/+/7dc3684d7a2587e43e6d2a8e0e3f39bf759bd535 Reported-by: Qiuxu Zhuo Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Reviewed-and-tested-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Cc: Su Tao Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: Cc: Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Mingwei Shi Cc: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on

2015-10-18T10:11:16Z

When I rewrote entry_INT80_32, I thought that int80 was an interrupt gate. It's a trap gate. *facepalm* Thanks to Brian Gerst for pointing out that it's better to change the entry code than to change the gate type.

x86/entry: Split and inline syscall_return_slowpath()

2015-10-09T07:41:13Z

GCC is unable to properly optimize functions that have a very short likely case and a longer and register-heavier cold part -- it fails to sink all of the register saving and stack frame setup code into the unlikely part. Help it out with syscall_return_slowpath() by splitting it into two parts and inline the hot part. Saves 6 cycles for compat syscalls.
