      x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h · 186f4360
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      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/paravirt: Remove paravirt_enabled() · 867fe800
      Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于
      Now that all previous paravirt_enabled() uses were replaced with proper
      x86 semantics by the previous patches we can remove the unused
      paravirt_enabled() mechanism.

      x86/paravirt: Replace the paravirt nop with a bona fide empty function · fc57a7c6
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME generates this code (using nmi as an
      example, trimmed for readability):
      
          ff 15 00 00 00 00       callq  *0x0(%rip)        # 2796 <nmi+0x6>
                    2792: R_X86_64_PC32     pv_irq_ops+0x2c
      
      That's a call through a function pointer to regular C function that
      does nothing on native boots, but that function isn't protected
      against kprobes, isn't marked notrace, and is certainly not
      guaranteed to preserve any registers if the compiler is feeling
      perverse.  This is bad news for a CLBR_NONE operation.
      
      Of course, if everything works correctly, once paravirt ops are
      patched, it gets nopped out, but what if we hit this code before
      paravirt ops are patched in?  This can potentially cause breakage
      that is very difficult to debug.
      
      A more subtle failure is possible here, too: if _paravirt_nop uses
      the stack at all (even just to push RBP), it will overwrite the "NMI
      executing" variable if it's called in the NMI prologue.
      
      The Xen case, perhaps surprisingly, is fine, because it's already
      written in asm.
      
      Fix all of the cases that default to paravirt_nop (including
      adjust_exception_frame) with a big hammer: replace paravirt_nop with
      an asm function that is just a ret instruction.
      
      The Xen case may have other problems, so document them.
      
      This is part of a fix for some random crashes that Sasha saw.

      x86/asm/tsc, x86/paravirt: Remove read_tsc() and read_tscp() paravirt hooks · 9261e050
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      We've had ->read_tsc() and ->read_tscp() paravirt hooks since
      the very beginning of paravirt, i.e.,
      
        d3561b7f ("[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation").
      
      AFAICT, the only paravirt guest implementation that ever
      replaced these calls was vmware, and it's gone. Arguably even
      vmware shouldn't have hooked RDTSC -- we fully support systems
      that don't have a TSC at all, so there's no point for a paravirt
      implementation to pretend that we have a TSC but to replace it.
      
      I also doubt that these hooks actually worked. Calls to rdtscl()
      and rdtscll(), which respected the hooks, were used seemingly
      interchangeably with native_read_tsc(), which did not.
      
      Just remove them. If anyone ever needs them again, they can try
      to make a case for why they need them.
      
      Before, on a paravirt config:
        text    	data     bss     dec     hex filename
        12618257      1816384 1093632 15528273 ecf151 vmlinux
      
      After:
        text		data     bss     dec     hex filename

      static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and... · c5905afb
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()
      
      So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
      all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
      more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
      various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.
      
      Typical usage scenarios:
      
              #include <linux/static_key.h>
      
              struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
      
              if (static_key_false(&key))
                      do unlikely code
              else
                      do likely code
      
      Or:
      
              if (static_key_true(&key))
                      do likely code
              else
                      do unlikely code
      
      The static key is modified via:
      
              static_key_slow_inc(&key);
              ...
              static_key_slow_dec(&key);
      
      The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
      expensive operation.
      
      I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
      that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
      blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
      patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
      decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.
      
      On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
      likely()/unlikely() branches.
