x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-07-14T13:06:41Z

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly. Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

x86/entry/traps: Don't force in_interrupt() to return true in IST handlers

2016-06-10T11:54:47Z

Forcing in_interrupt() to return true if we're not in a bona fide interrupt confuses the softirq code. This fixes warnings like: NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 282 ... which can happen when running things like selftests/x86. This will change perf's static percpu buffer usage in IST context. I think this is okay, and it's changing the behavior to match historical (pre-4.0) behavior.

x86/asm: Stop depending on ptrace.h in alternative.h

2016-04-29T09:56:40Z

alternative.h pulls in ptrace.h, which means that alternatives can't be used in anything referenced from ptrace.h, which is a mess. Break the dependency by pulling text patching helpers into their own header. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.

x86/entry/traps: Show unhandled signal for i386 in do_trap()

2016-03-10T17:37:25Z

Commit abd4f7505baf ("x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3") did turn on the showing-unhandled-signal behaviour for i386 for some exception handlers, but for no reason do_trap() is left out (my naive guess is because turning it on for do_trap() would be too noisy since do_trap() is shared by several exceptions). And since the same commit make "show_unhandled_signals" a debug tunable(in /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace), and x86 by default turning it on. So it would be strange for i386 users who turing it on manually and expect seeing the unhandled signal output in log, but nothing. This patch turns it on for i386 in do_trap() as well.

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/32: Add and check a stack canary for the SYSENTER stack

2016-03-10T08:48:14Z

The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny stack. That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack. We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack. For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic, we'll eventually notice.

x86/entry: Vastly simplify SYSENTER TF (single-step) handling

2016-03-10T08:48:13Z

Due to a blatant design error, SYSENTER doesn't clear TF (single-step). As a result, if a user does SYSENTER with TF set, we will single-step through the kernel until something clears TF. There is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent this short of turning off SYSENTER [1]. Simplify the handling considerably with two changes: 1. We already sanitize EFLAGS in SYSENTER to clear NT and AC. We can add TF to that list of flags to sanitize with no overhead whatsoever. 2. Teach do_debug() to ignore single-step traps in the SYSENTER prologue. That's all we need to do. Don't get too excited -- our handling is still buggy on 32-bit kernels. There's nothing wrong with the SYSENTER code itself, but the #DB prologue has a clever fixup for traps on the very first instruction of entry_SYSENTER_32, and the fixup doesn't work quite correctly. The next two patches will fix that. [1] We could probably prevent it by forcing BTF on at all times and making sure we clear TF before any branches in the SYSENTER code. Needless to say, this is a bad idea. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Andrew Cooper Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
