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.

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.

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.

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.

If CS, SS and IP are as expected and FLAGS is compatible with SYSRETL, then return from fast compat syscalls (both SYSCALL and SYSENTER) using SYSRETL. Unlike native 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET, this is not invisible to user code: RCX and R8-R15 end up in a different state than shown saved in pt_regs. To compensate, we only do this when returning to the vDSO fast syscall return path. This won't interfere with syscall restart, as we won't use SYSRETL when returning to the INT80 restart instruction.

Linus noticed that the early return check was missing _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY. If the only work flag was _TIF_USER_RETURN_NOTIFY, we'd skip user return notifiers. Fix it. (This is the only missing bit.) This fixes double faults on a KVM host. It's the same issue as last time, except that this time it's very easy to trigger. Apparently no one uses -next as a KVM host. ( I'm still not quite sure what it is that KVM does that blows up so badly if we miss a user return notifier. My best guess is that KVM lets KERNEL_GS_BASE (i.e. the user's gs base) be negative and fixes it up in a user return notifier. If we actually end up in user mode with a negative gs base, we blow up pretty badly. ) Reported-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NAndy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Fixes: c5c46f59 ("x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/3f801104d24ee7a6bb1446408d9950777aa63277.1436995419.git.luto@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The current x86 entry and exit code, written in a mixture of assembly and C code, is incomprehensible due to being open-coded in a lot of places without coherent documentation. It appears to work primary by luck and duct tape: i.e. obvious runtime failures were fixed on-demand, without re-thinking the design. Due to those reasons our confidence level in that code is low, and it is very difficult to incrementally improve. Add new code written in C, in preparation for simply deleting the old entry code. prepare_exit_to_usermode() is a new function that will handle all slow path exits to user mode. It is called with IRQs disabled and it leaves us in a state in which it is safe to immediately return to user mode. IRQs must not be re-enabled at any point after prepare_exit_to_usermode() returns and user mode is actually entered. (We can, of course, fail to enter user mode and treat that failure as a fresh entry to kernel mode.) All callers of do_notify_resume() will be migrated to call prepare_exit_to_usermode() instead; prepare_exit_to_usermode() needs to do everything that do_notify_resume() does today, but it also takes care of scheduling and context tracking. Unlike do_notify_resume(), it does not need to be called in a loop. syscall_return_slowpath() is exactly what it sounds like: it will be called on any syscall exit slow path. It will replace syscall_trace_leave() and it calls prepare_exit_to_usermode() on the way out.

Changing the x86 context tracking hooks is dangerous because there are no good checks that we track our context correctly. Add a helper to check that we're actually in CONTEXT_USER when we enter from user mode and wire it up for syscall entries. Subsequent patches will wire this up for all non-NMI entries as well. NMIs are their own special beast and cannot currently switch overall context tracking state. Instead, they have their own special RCU hooks. This is a tiny speedup if !CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING (removes a branch) and a tiny slowdown if CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACING (adds a layer of indirection). Eventually, we should fix up the core context tracking code to supply a function that does what we want (and can be much simpler than user_exit), which will enable us to get rid of the extra call.

The entry and exit C helpers were confusingly scattered between ptrace.c and signal.c, even though they aren't specific to ptrace or signal handling. Move them together in a new file. This change just moves code around. It doesn't change anything.
