      x86/alternatives: Fix ALTERNATIVE_2 padding generation properly · dbe4058a
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      Quentin caught a corner case with the generation of instruction
padding in the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro: if len(orig_insn) <
len(alt1) < len(alt2), then not enough padding gets added and
that is not good(tm) as we could overwrite the beginning of the
next instruction.

Luckily, at the time of this writing, we don't have
ALTERNATIVE_2() invocations which have that problem and even if
we did, a simple fix would be to prepend the instructions with
enough prefixes so that that corner case doesn't happen.

However, best it would be if we fixed it properly. See below for
a simple, abstracted example of what we're doing.

So what we ended up doing is, we compute the

	max(len(alt1), len(alt2)) - len(orig_insn)

and feed that value to the .skip gas directive. The max() cannot
have conditionals due to gas limitations, thus the fancy integer
math.

With this patch, all ALTERNATIVE_2 sites get padded correctly;
generating obscure test cases pass too:

  #define alt_max_short(a, b)    ((a) ^ (((a) ^ (b)) & -(-((a) < (b)))))

  #define gen_skip(orig, alt1, alt2, marker)	\
  	.skip -((alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)) > 0) * \
  		(alt_max_short(alt1, alt2) - (orig)),marker

  	.pushsection .text, "ax"
  .globl main
  main:
  	gen_skip(1, 2, 4, 0x09)
  	gen_skip(4, 1, 2, 0x10)
  	...
  	.popsection

Thanks to Quentin for catching it and double-checking the fix!

      x86/alternatives: Add instruction padding · 4332195c
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      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.

      asm alternatives: remove incorrect alignment notes · a7f934d4
      由 Linus Torvalds 提交于 
      On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now
unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16
bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much.

However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for
the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit
59e97e4d ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative").
So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good
idea.

On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly
hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>.  That header file had
used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts
have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and
rwsem).

That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment
would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section,
causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction
replacement.

So just remove all the alignment noise entirely.  It's wrong, and it's
unnecessary.  The section itself is already properly aligned by the
linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the
proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned.  So if the align directive
were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious
bug to begin with.
