      x86/entry: Add new, comprehensible entry and exit handlers written in C · c5c46f59
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      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.

      x86/entry: Add enter_from_user_mode() and use it in syscalls · feed36cd
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      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.

      x86/entry: Move C entry and exit code to arch/x86/entry/common.c · 1f484aa6
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      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.
