x86/vdso: Pass --eh-frame-hdr to the linker

2018-12-15T10:37:51Z

Commit 379d98ddf413 ("x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link") accidentally broke unwinding from userspace, because ld would strip the .eh_frame sections when linking. Originally, the compiler would implicitly add --eh-frame-hdr when invoking the linker, but when this Makefile was converted from invoking ld via the compiler, to invoking it directly (like vmlinux does), the flag was missed. (The EH_FRAME section is important for the VDSO shared libraries, but not for vmlinux.) Fix the problem by explicitly specifying --eh-frame-hdr, which restores parity with the old method.

x86/vdso: Drop implicit common-page-size linker flag

2018-12-07T17:57:38Z

GNU linker's -z common-page-size's default value is based on the target architecture. arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile sets it to the architecture default, which is implicit and redundant. Drop it.

x86: convert vdso to use vm_fault_t

2018-10-26T23:25:19Z

Return vm_fault_t codes directly from the appropriate mm routines instead of converting from errnos ourselves. Fixes a minor bug where we'd return SIGBUS instead of the correct OOM code if we ran out of memory allocating page tables.

x86/segments: Introduce the 'CPUNODE' naming to better document the segment limit CPU/node NR trick

2018-10-08T08:45:02Z

We have a special segment descriptor entry in the GDT, whose sole purpose is to encode the CPU and node numbers in its limit (size) field. There are user-space instructions that allow the reading of the limit field, which gives us a really fast way to read the CPU and node IDs from the vDSO for example. But the naming of related functionality does not make this clear, at all: VDSO_CPU_SIZE VDSO_CPU_MASK __CPU_NUMBER_SEG GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER vdso_encode_cpu_node vdso_read_cpu_node There's a number of problems: - The 'VDSO_CPU_SIZE' doesn't really make it clear that these are number of bits, nor does it make it clear which 'CPU' this refers to, i.e. that this is about a GDT entry whose limit encodes the CPU and node number. - Furthermore, the 'CPU_NUMBER' naming is actively misleading as well, because the segment limit encodes not just the CPU number but the node ID as well ... So use a better nomenclature all around: name everything related to this trick as 'CPUNODE', to make it clear that this is something special, and add _BITS to make it clear that these are number of bits, and propagate this to every affected name: VDSO_CPU_SIZE => VDSO_CPUNODE_BITS VDSO_CPU_MASK => VDSO_CPUNODE_MASK __CPU_NUMBER_SEG => __CPUNODE_SEG GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER => GDT_ENTRY_CPUNODE vdso_encode_cpu_node => vdso_encode_cpunode vdso_read_cpu_node => vdso_read_cpunode This, beyond being less confusing, also makes it easier to grep for all related functionality: $ git grep -i cpunode arch/x86 Also, while at it, fix "return is not a function" style sloppiness in vdso_encode_cpunode().

x86/vdso: Initialize the CPU/node NR segment descriptor earlier

2018-10-08T08:41:10Z

Currently the CPU/node NR segment descriptor (GDT_ENTRY_CPU_NUMBER) is initialized relatively late during CPU init, from the vCPU code, which has a number of disadvantages, such as hotplug CPU notifiers and SMP cross-calls. Instead just initialize it much earlier, directly in cpu_init(). This reduces complexity and increases robustness. [ mingo: Wrote new changelog. ] Suggested-by: H.

2018-10-08T08:41:10Z

The old 'per CPU' naming was misleading: 64-bit kernels don't use this GDT entry for per CPU data, but to store the CPU (and node) ID. [ mingo: Wrote new changelog. ] Suggested-by: H.

x86/vdso: Rearrange do_hres() to improve code generation

2018-10-05T19:03:23Z

vgetcyc() is full of barriers, so fetching values out of the vvar page before vgetcyc() for use after vgetcyc() results in poor code generation. Put vgetcyc() first to avoid this problem. Also, pull the tv_sec division into the loop and put all the ts writes together. The old code wrote ts->tv_sec on each iteration before the syscall fallback check and then added in the offset afterwards, which forced the compiler to pointlessly copy base->sec to ts->tv_sec on each iteration. The new version seems to generate sensible code. Saves several cycles. With this patch applied, the result is faster than before the clock_gettime() rewrite.
