IMO users ought not to be able to use 16-bit segments without
using modify_ldt.  Fortunately, it's impossible to break
espfix64 by loading the PER_CPU segment into SS because it's
PER_CPU is marked read-only and SS cannot contain an RO segment,
but marking PER_CPU as 32-bit is less fragile.

The first userspace attempt to read or write the PER_CPU segment
will write the accessed bit to the GDT.  This is visible to
userspace using the LAR instruction, and it also pointlessly
dirties a cache line.

Set the segment's accessed bit at boot to prevent userspace
access to segments from having side effects.

Stephen Rothwell's compiler did something amazing: it unrolled a
loop, discovered that one iteration of that loop contained an
always-true test, and emitted a warning that will IMO only serve
to convince people to disable the warning.

That bogus warning caused me to wonder what prompted such an
absurdity from his compiler, and I discovered that the code in
question was, in fact, completely wrong -- I was looking things
up in the wrong array.

This affects 3.16 as well, but the only effect is to screw up
the error checking a bit.  vdso2c's output is unaffected.

Putting the vvar area after the vdso text is rather complicated: it
only works of the total length of the vdso text mapping is known at
vdso link time, and the linker doesn't allow symbol addresses to
depend on the sizes of non-allocatable data after the PT_LOAD
segment.

Moving the vvar area before the vdso text will allow is to safely
map non-allocatable data after the vdso text, which is a nice
simplification.

vdso2c was checking for various types of relocations to detect when
the vdso had undefined symbols or was otherwise dependent on
relocation at load time.  Undefined symbols in the vdso would fail if
accessed at runtime, and certain implementation errors (e.g. branch
profiling or incorrect symbol visibilities) could result in data
access through the GOT that requires relocations.  This could be
as simple as:

    extern char foo;
    return foo;

Without some kind of visibility control, the compiler would assume
that foo could be interposed at load time and would generate a
relocation.

x86-64 and x32 (as opposed to i386) use explicit-addent (RELA) instead
of implicit-addent (REL) relocations for data access, and vdso2c
forgot to detect those.

Whether these bad relocations would actually fail at runtime depends
on what the linker sticks in the unrelocated references.  Nonetheless,
these relocations have no business existing in the vDSO and should be
fixed rather than silently ignored.

This error could trigger on some configurations due to branch
profiling.  The previous patch fixed that.

DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING turns off branch profiling (i.e. a
redefinition of 'if').  Branch profiling depends on a bunch of
kernel-internal symbols and generates extra output sections, none of
which are useful or functional in the vDSO.

It's currently turned off for vclock_gettime.c, but vgetcpu.c also
triggers branch profiling, so just turn it off in the makefile.

This fixes the build on some configurations: the vdso could contain
undefined symbols, and the fake section table overflowed due to
ftrace's added sections.

With this change, doing 'make vdso_install' and telling gdb:

set debug-file-directory /lib/modules/KVER/vdso

will enable vdso debugging with symbols.  This is useful for
testing, but kernel RPM builds will probably want to manually delete
these symlinks or otherwise do something sensible when they strip
the vdso/*.so files.

If ld does not support --build-id, then the symlinks will not be
created.

Note that kernel packagers that use vdso_install may need to adjust
their packaging scripts to accomdate this change.  For example,
Fedora's scripts create build-id symlinks themselves in a different
location, so the spec should probably be updated to remove the
symlinks created by make vdso_install.

.data doesn't need to be separate from .rodata: they're both readonly.

.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement aren't needed by anything
except vdso2c; strip them from the final image.

While we're at it, rather than aligning the actual executable text,
just shove some unused-at-runtime data in between real data and
text.

My vdso image is still above 4k, but I'm disinclined to try to
trim it harder for 3.16.  For future trimming, I suspect that these
sections could be moved to later in the file and dropped from

Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects:

 - binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section.

 - Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section
   table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for
   PT_NOTE.

 - gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their
   symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses.

We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL.

Fix these problems by building a better fake section table.  While
we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well
by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size.

This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso
image.

If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread,
it would be worth considering dropping most of this.

Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Using arch_vma_name to give special mappings a name is awkward.  x86
currently implements it by comparing the start address of the vma to
the expected address of the vdso.  This requires tracking the start
address of special mappings and is probably buggy if a special vma
is split or moved.

Improve _install_special_mapping to just name the vma directly.  Use
it to give the x86 vvar area a name, which should make CRIU's life
easier.

As a side effect, the vvar area will show up in core dumps.  This
could be considered weird and is fixable.

[hpa: I say we accept this as-is but be prepared to deal with knocking
 out the vvars from core dumps if this becomes a problem.]

b3b42ac2 x86-64, modify_ldt: Ban 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels

disabled 16-bit segments on 64-bit kernels due to an information
leak.  However, it does seem that people are genuinely using Wine to
run old 16-bit Windows programs on Linux.

A proper fix for this ("espfix64") is coming in the upcoming merge

administrator to re-enable support for 16-bit segments.

It adds a "/proc/sys/abi/ldt16" sysctl that defaults to zero (off). If
you hit this issue and care about your old Windows program more than
you care about a kernel stack address information leak, you can do

   echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/ldt16

as root (add it to your startup scripts), and you should be ok.

The sysctl table is only added if you have COMPAT support enabled on
x86-64, but I assume anybody who runs old windows binaries very much

This unifies the vdso mapping code and teaches it how to map special
pages at addresses corresponding to symbols in the vdso image.  The
new code is used for all vdso variants, but so far only the 32-bit
variants use the new vvar page position.

Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination
of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF
parsers in the kernel.  Replace all of that with plain C code that
runs at build time.

All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and
linked in to the kernel image.

This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO
images are stripped more heavily than they used to be.  Everything
outside the loadable segment is dropped.  In particular, this causes
the section table and section name strings to be missing.  This
should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these
tables anyway.  The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's
--strip-sections option.

The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings
to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment.  Currently,
it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after
the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or
hpet page.  This happens whenever the load segment is just under a
multiple of PAGE_SIZE.

The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with
inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script
that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'.  This most
likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol
associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real
dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall.  That caused ld to relocate the
reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic
relocation.  Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I
now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it
work.  vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the
resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't
silently generate bad vdso images.

(Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt
to relocate the vdso.)

This code is used during CPU setup, and it isn't strictly speaking
related to the 32-bit vdso.  It's easier to understand how this
works when the code is closer to its callers.

This also lets syscall32_cpu_init be static, which might save some
trivial amount of kernel text.

Rather than using 'vdso_enabled' and an awful #define, just call the
parameters vdso32_enabled and vdso64_enabled.

Gold can't parse the script due to:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16804

With a workaround in place for that issue, Gold 2.23 crashes due to:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15355

This works around the former bug and avoids the second by removing
the unnecessary vvar and hpet sections and segments.  The vdso and
hpet symbols are still there, and nothing needed the sections or
segments.

The new symbols provide the same API as the 64-bit variants, so they
should have the same symbol version name.  This can't break
userspace, since these symbols are new for 32-bit Linux.
