Up until now we have always paid attention to make sure the length of the new instruction replacing the old one is at least less or equal to the length of the old instruction. If the new instruction is longer, at the time it replaces the old instruction it will overwrite the beginning of the next instruction in the kernel image and cause your pants to catch fire. So instead of having to pay attention, teach the alternatives framework to pad shorter old instructions with NOPs at buildtime - but only in the case when len(old instruction(s)) < len(new instruction(s)) and add nothing in the >= case. (In that case we do add_nops() when patching). This way the alternatives user shouldn't have to care about instruction sizes and simply use the macros. Add asm ALTERNATIVE* flavor macros too, while at it. Also, we need to save the pad length in a separate struct alt_instr member for NOP optimization and the way to do that reliably is to carry the pad length instead of trying to detect whether we're looking at single-byte NOPs or at pathological instruction offsets like e9 90 90 90 90, for example, which is a valid instruction. Thanks to Michael Matz for the great help with toolchain questions. Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC 5.0. To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan always uses interceptors for them. So now we should do this as well. This patch declares memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols. In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing it. Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__' prefix. For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants, cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

While currently there doesn't appear to be any reachable in-tree case where such large memory blocks may be passed to memset() (alloc_bootmem() being the primary non-reachable one, as it gets called with suitably large sizes in FLATMEM configurations), we have recently hit the problem a second time in our Xen kernels. Rather than working around it a second time, prevent others from falling into the same trap by fixing this long standing limitation.

Support memset() with enhanced rep stosb. On processors supporting enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB, the alternative memset_c_e function using enhanced rep stosb overrides the fast string alternative memset_c and the original function.

We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however. [ v3: updated to include open-coded locations ] Signed-off-by: NH.

In order to avoid unnecessary chains of branches, rather than implementing memcpy()/memset()'s access to their alternative implementations via a jump, patch the (larger) original function directly. The memcpy() part of this is slightly subtle: while alternative instruction patching does itself use memcpy(), with the replacement block being less than 64-bytes in size the main loop of the original function doesn't get used for copying memcpy_c() over memcpy(), and hence we can safely write over its beginning. Also note that the CFI annotations are fine for both variants of each of the functions.

Add unwind annotations to arch/x86_64/lib/*.S, and also use the macros provided by linux/linkage.h where-ever possible. Some of the alternative instructions handling needed to be adjusted so that the replacement code would also have valid unwind information.

They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions for these CPUs. This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1, essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.

B stepping were the first shipping Opterons. memcpy/memset/copy_page/ clear_page had special optimized version for them. These are really old and in the minority now and the difference to the generic versions (using rep microcode) is not that big anyways. So just remove them.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
