      Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables · 050e9baa
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
      support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
      option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
      supported.
      
      That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
      now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
      directly.
      
      HOWEVER.
      
      It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
      stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
      the sane stack protector configuration would look like
      
        CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
        # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
        # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
        # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
        CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
      
      and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
      it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
      been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
      CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
      used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
      disable it in the new config, resulting in:
      
        CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
        CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
        CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
        # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
        CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
      
      That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
      the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
      
      The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
      protector option, but also the strong one.  This does that by just
      removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
      is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
      automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
      
      This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
      choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
      The end result would generally look like this:
      
        CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
        CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
        CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
        CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
        CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
      
      where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
      infrastructure, not the user selections.

      x86/entry/64: Separate cpu_current_top_of_stack from TSS.sp0 · 9aaefe7b
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      On 64-bit kernels, we used to assume that TSS.sp0 was the current
      top of stack.  With the addition of an entry trampoline, this will
      no longer be the case.  Store the current top of stack in TSS.sp1,
      which is otherwise unused but shares the same cacheline.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      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.

      x86/kvm: Provide optimized version of vcpu_is_preempted() for x86-64 · dd0fd8bc
      Waiman Long 提交于
      It was found when running fio sequential write test with a XFS ramdisk
      on a KVM guest running on a 2-socket x86-64 system, the %CPU times
      as reported by perf were as follows:
      
       69.75%  0.59%  fio  [k] down_write
       69.15%  0.01%  fio  [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed
       67.12%  1.12%  fio  [k] rwsem_down_write_failed
       63.48% 52.77%  fio  [k] osq_lock
        9.46%  7.88%  fio  [k] __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt
        3.93%  3.93%  fio  [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
      
      Making vcpu_is_preempted() a callee-save function has a relatively
      high cost on x86-64 primarily due to at least one more cacheline of
      data access from the saving and restoring of registers (8 of them)
      to and from stack as well as one more level of function call.
      
      To reduce this performance overhead, an optimized assembly version
      of the the __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() function is
      provided for x86-64.
      
      With this patch applied on a KVM guest on a 2-socket 16-core 32-thread
      system with 16 parallel jobs (8 on each socket), the aggregrate
      bandwidth of the fio test on an XFS ramdisk were as follows:
      
         I/O Type      w/o patch    with patch
         --------      ---------    ----------
         random read   8141.2 MB/s  8497.1 MB/s
         seq read      8229.4 MB/s  8304.2 MB/s
         random write  1675.5 MB/s  1701.5 MB/s
         seq write     1681.3 MB/s  1699.9 MB/s
      
      There are some increases in the aggregated bandwidth because of
      the patch.
      
      The perf data now became:
      
       70.78%  0.58%  fio  [k] down_write
       70.20%  0.01%  fio  [k] call_rwsem_down_write_failed

       59.91% 55.42%  fio  [k] osq_lock
       10.14% 10.14%  fio  [k] __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted
      
      The assembly code was verified by using a test kernel module to
      compare the output of C __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted() and that of assembly
      __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempt() to verify that they matched.

      x86/asm/entry: (Re-)rename __NR_entry_INT80_compat_max to __NR_syscall_compat_max · bace7117
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Brian Gerst noticed that I did a weird rename in the following commit:
      
         b2502b41 ("x86/asm/entry: Untangle 'system_call' into two entry points: entry_SYSCALL_64 and entry_INT80_32")
      
      which renamed __NR_ia32_syscall_max to __NR_entry_INT80_compat_max.
      
      Now the original name was a misnomer, but the new one is a misnomer as well,
      as all the 32-bit compat syscall entry points (sysenter, syscall) share the
      system call table, not just the INT80 based one.
      
      Rename it to __NR_syscall_compat_max.

      x86, gdt, hibernate: Store/load GDT for hibernate path. · cc456c4e
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
      The git commite7a5cd06
      ("x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path
      is not needed.") assumes that for the hibernate path the booting
      kernel and the resuming kernel MUST be the same. That is certainly
      the case for a 32-bit kernel (see check_image_kernel and
      CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER config option).
      
      However for 64-bit kernels it is OK to have a different kernel
      version (and size of the image) of the booting and resuming kernels.
      Hence the above mentioned git commit introduces an regression.
      
      This patch fixes it by introducing a 'struct desc_ptr gdt_desc'
      back in the 'struct saved_context'. However instead of having in the
      'save_processor_state' and 'restore_processor_state' the
      store/load_gdt calls, we are only saving the GDT in the
      save_processor_state.
      
      For the restore path the lgdt operation is done in
      hibernate_asm_[32|64].S in the 'restore_registers' path.
      
      The apt reader of this description will recognize that only 64-bit
      kernels need this treatment, not 32-bit. This patch adds the logic
      in the 32-bit path to be more similar to 64-bit so that in the future
      the unification process can take advantage of this.

      x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables · 303395ac
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
      tables in arch/x86/syscalls.  All other information, like NR_syscalls,
      is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
      
      This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
      and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
      information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
      when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
      the near future.
      
      This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
      and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
      the same mechanism.

      tracing: Define NR_syscalls for x86_64 · a5a2f8e2
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Express the available number of syscalls in a standard way by defining
      NR_syscalls.
      
      The common way to define it is to place its definition in asm/unistd.h
      However, the number of syscalls is defined using __NR_syscall_max in
      x86-64 after building a dynamic header file "asm-offsets.h"
      
      The source file that generates this header, asm-offsets-64.c includes
      unistd.h, then if we want to express NR_syscalls from __NR_syscall_max
      in unistd.h only after generating the dynamic header file, we need a
      watchguard.
      
      If unistd.h is included from asm-offsets-64.c, then we are generating
      asm-offset.h which defines __NR_syscall_max. At this time, we don't
      want to (we can't) define NR_syscalls, then we do nothing.
      Otherwise we define NR_syscalls because we know asm-offsets.h has
      been generated.

      x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields · 37ba7ab5
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
      to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,
      memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still
      force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.
      
      Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
      the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
      memory the kernel will require during initialization.

      x86: merge 64 and 32 SMP percpu handling · 9939ddaf
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Now that pda is allocated as part of percpu, percpu doesn't need to be
      accessed through pda.  Unify x86_64 SMP percpu access with x86_32 SMP
      one.  Other than the segment register, operand size and the base of
      percpu symbols, they behave identical now.
      
      This patch replaces now unnecessary pda->data_offset with a dummy
      field which is necessary to keep stack_canary at its place.  This
      patch also moves per_cpu_offset initialization out of init_gdt() into
      setup_per_cpu_areas().  Note that this change also necessitates
      explicit per_cpu_offset initializations in voyager_smp.c.
      
      With this change, x86_OP_percpu()'s are as efficient on x86_64 as on
      x86_32 and also x86_64 can use assembly PER_CPU macros.

      x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMP · 1a51e3a0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
      
      Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately.  %gs points
      to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
      This patch folds pda into percpu area.
      
      Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
      the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40.  To achieve
      this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
      added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
      area.
      
      After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
      data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
      point to the actual pda.  This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
      to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
      already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().
      
      This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
      sites.
      
      A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
      per cpu area" patch.
